When you're very curious about a topic, that curiosity affects the chemistry of your brain.
I was reasoning about my foregoing crushes, but they just clicked my mind and fade away. I was not that amazed because after all it was just an infatuation. As I was listening to music, I skipped my mind from all this and continued to see my playlist.
Suddenly, my mind tapped me and asked me a peculiar question "Why do we have a crush?". The question stucked me out made me curious to know the science behind having a crush, so I start digging the facts about why do we get attracted to someone.
Crush: The most adoring feeling one can have. People reading this out might have experience this feeling once.
Okay, before breaking out your curiosity behind it, let's see what happens when you start liking someone.
The feeling you feel:
Our brains are made up of different parts, one of those parts is the limbic part of the brain. This part is responsible for addictions and such because this part of the brain craves dopamine.
What is dopamine?
Dopamine tends to get a bad wrap. Yes it technically what makes us addicted to drugs, tobacco, alcohol etc., but it is actually really important for us and we release this hormone/neurotransmitter throughout the day.
A crush happens in the limbic part of the brain– the same part which gets you addicted to drugs. That's why it is so hard to overcome a crush, as hard as overcoming a drugs addiction.
But, then you may ask the question: why does it happen?
