How do I know if I’m in love?

Knowing if you are in love is not an easy task. But these five points can help you draw a conclusion more clearly!

Many still haven’t learned to read the signs of love and, to help, the team of the blog Me Apaixonei made a list of changes that occur when we are in love:

1. You are “addicted” to this person

Not everyone knows, but love directly influences our brain. The euphoria that people usually feel at the beginning of a relationship is visible through increased neurological activity in areas rich in dopamine and linked to the passion system. According to studies, another area that is affected is the cingulate gyrus, normally linked to obsessive thinking.

As time goes on and the relationship becomes more serious, thinking about your partner activates the reward centers and brain areas related to attachments rather than obsessive thinking.

2. You really want your friends and family to get to know you

Many people need the support/approval of the people they are with and trust. Furthermore, a person’s social circle plays a very important role in the success of a relationship.

Needing the opinion or approval of your friends or family is not a negative thing, it’s good to know that you are increasingly connected to your partner.

3. you are happy with this person’s achievements.

When you are in love, the loving connection that exists between the two makes you happy with the success of the person next to you, even if you have not been able to achieve the same degree of success.

Pride in your partner goes beyond negative or inferior feelings.

4. You miss each other a lot when you’re apart.

The homesickness you feel for someone reflects the type of relationship and dependence you have on that person. If you’re not sure if you’re actually in love with someone, ask yourself if you miss them when you’re not together.

5. You’ve changed since you met this person

Often when we are in love, we have the feeling that we have changed. That is, we are no longer the same person we were before we met you. Consciously or unconsciously, the things we were interested in, our habits, the way we spend our time have changed since that person came into our life.

This is all (hopefully!) a positive influence from our partner. 🙂
