Your new romantic partner is making you feel more and more in love. You have the impression of being in an amazing fantasy realm. Unfortunately, it appears that your companion might make a mistake. This thrilling stage is frequently referred to as obsession.
Growing interest has been shown in the neurobiology of love, specifically the neurochemical surges that fuel this stage of seemingly limitless delight. There is evidence that oxytocin, vasopressin, dopamine, serotonin, testosterone, cortisol, the morphinergic system, and nerve growth factor may play a part in love and attachment. As a result of joyful feelings of developing romantic love, we nearly anticipate that our companions would continuously bring us joy. However, we eventually realise that our partners are imperfect. They don’t genuinely satisfy all of our needs.
3 Relationship-Breaking Behavior Patterns Driven by Toxic Thoughts
1. You focus more on issues and difficulties than on positive developments
What kind of automobiles are more likely to be seen on the roads over the course of a few days if you go out and purchase a specific make and brand of blue vehicle today? You will be especially alert to vehicles that resemble your own. This is how selective attention works. So, if you concentrate on the negative aspects of your relationship, you will end up on the “Relationship Misery Expressway.”
2. You try to always be correct
Pushing your observations or opinions on your partner will threaten and cause resentment to grow, even though it may seem justified or feel better at the time. Furthermore, forcing your opinions on them will teach them to respond by stalling, living in denial, and fighting rather than taking responsibility for their mistakes.
3. You take things too personally
Relationships with people we love provide a favorable ground for our weaknesses. Our relationships with our partners are so important to us that we take it very personally when they say or do things that make us feel hurt or disappointed.
