falling in love sucks that's probably not something you've ever heard right because when we think about falling in love we tend to think of butterflies heart racing and endless Dreaming or at least that's how movies songs and social media make it out to be but did you know it can be a real pain sometimes too here are some raw unfiltered reasons why falling in love isn't always the magic ride it's cracked up to be modernday cynicism with the abundance of scientific studies and the influence of the nihilist movement younger Generations often dissect their feelings reducing
love to a mere chemical reaction in the brain they argue that marriage is primarily a legal institution and an economic proposition modern society has also made it more acceptable to be in open relationships and polyamorous relationships further complicating things this perpetuates a widespread fear of commitment where many opt for casual connections over deeper emotional bonds due to an abundance of options and a sense of impermanence the social media trap in today's digital age falling in love often means putting your relationship on display so we tend to have sky high expectations of what love should be
like but real relationships are messy and require effort communication and compromise and social media can create a lot of pressure to maintain a perfect image which can leave you constantly comparing your relationship to others feeling inadequate or even staging moments just for the sake of a good post the gap between what we expect and what we get can be disappointing psychologically compromising it's a scient ific fact that when you fall in love rational thought just flies out the window and every emotion tends to hit you like a ton of bricks this is because love suppresses
the part of the brain responsible for critical thinking the prefrontal cortex your heart races your palms sweat and neurochemicals like dopamine and neurop nephrine flood your brain whether you're with your crush or even just thinking about them but then your serotonin plummets when you're apart for too long or they don't text you back right away kicking you off Cloud n neglected friendships friendships are not less important than romantic relationships but sometimes love can create unintended Rifts your priorities shift even if you don't mean them to and suddenly your once regular Hangouts become less frequent as
