10 things that change in our lives when we are in love

Love can bring out our best, worst, and stupidest traits. When you love someone, you become more intimate with them than with others.

This can leave you doing things you normally wouldn’t do.

But for most people, the intense feeling of being in love is worth a few personality changes. Some or… maybe all?

Keep scrolling and see the 10 silly things we do when we’re in love!

1. Go slower

This mainly applies to men. Men tend to adjust their speed—that is, in most cases, slow down—when they walk with their partner. Science supports this.

A 2013 study, in which the speeds of couples and friends were recorded, found that men slowed by 0.4 km/h to match their partner’s speed.

2- Speak with a louder voice

This change applies to both men and women. Studies have shown that women tend to increase their speech volume with people they are attracted to.

But men in relationships can also speak up to stay on the same emotional wavelength as their partner.

3. Laugh constantly and often at inopportune times

People in love tend to laugh more—with their partner, without their partner, and alone. Being in love means your brain releases additional dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin, which are chemicals that will make you feel good, laugh more and smile more.

You can even smile and laugh as you think about your partner when he or she is not around.

4. Look more in the mirror

After falling in love with someone, most people start to worry more about their appearance. This can lead you to spend more time looking in the mirror.

It can also lead to unnecessary shopping for beauty and clothes. People will do everything possible to look good with their loved ones.

5. Listen to more repeating songs

Songs can become symbols of love. When you and your partner gather around a song, or when a song is heard during a defining moment in the relationship, it will have special meaning from that day forward.

These songs can be listened to obsessively.

6. You trust your partner to make decisions

People in love become less individual and begin to trust their partner more. Decisions are made together.

Each can rely so much on the other’s contributions that when it is necessary to make a decision for himself, he is unable to do so.

7. You call your partner with strange names and speak in strange voices

In addition to calling your partner “baby”, “darling”, “cute” and other nicknames you would never imagine using, you and your partner can engage in what can only be described as “baby talk”.

This vernacular is used by many lovers and has actually been explained by science. Speaking awkwardly strengthens an intimate relationship, while smiling at another person who also smiles strengthens a platonic relationship.

Psychologists call this behavior “reflex”.

8. Take unnecessary risks

This is another male specific symptom of love. Research has shown that men take greater risks when they are in a romantic relationship.

Men have been conditioned to be protectors, and this instinct intensifies when they are in love, which can manifest itself dangerously and unnecessarily.

It turned out that love does not affect women’s risk.

9. You get more distracted

When a person is in love, their mind tends to focus on that fact. So it should come as no surprise that research has found that these people are less able to focus on important tasks.

This love-induced cognitive impairment has been compared to alcohol and drug intoxication.

10. Start planning for a very distant future

Home, pets, wedding vows, honeymoon destinations and kids are some of the thoughts that can pop into the mind of someone who has just fallen in love.

While these thoughts may not be realistic or have no chance of being realized so far in the future, they are the most natural things in the world.
