Each of us must have experience the effect of crazy love (or people who just fall in love) from the person close to you. It's torturing isn't it. At some moment you feel like slapping her face so that she back to reality. Just read this article in Cosmopolitan (Malaysia version, siap dlm BMelayu lg!! Faraha: gasp!) about this crazy love or gila bayang.
When you fall in love, it would activate a part of your brain that rich in dopamine which make you happy and forget all your sadness. Dopamine also increase the secretion of testosterone which influence you sex instinct. That's why when you fall in love, you feel like... you know. (Mcm dlm filem Hollywood...part yg selalu kena potong kat M'sia. Huhu. Try to be an U blog here). Then there are also norepinephrine which will send the sex signal to the brain and increase your memory. That's why you remember what colour his shirt the first time you met him. However, norepinephrine only increase your memory whatever things that related to him and ignore other things around you.
Since you are happy and shiny, the part of the brain which called amygdala will deceased it's activity. Amygdala is the area of worry and anxious. When this happened, you will not think straight and your judgement sometimes can be wrong. That's why there are cases where it's involving someone's husband, lecturers, unknown foreigners and someone's boyfriend. Sometimes the individual would ditch her friends that she knew for years just for a person that just arrive from nowhere.
The fact that our brain is full of dopamine can cause us gila bayang. Then everything about him is always the best. Nobody does better than him. Kalau dia kentut pun bau wangi. And your life isn't calm anymore. (This is because serotonin decrease, which is for calming and peaceful effect in our brain). You start to think about him all the time, you want to meet him all the time and you start to talk about him all the time. (Before you realize, you actually decreased the level of serotonin of your friends who listen to your oh-so-perfect man's life story).
Geez... who said falling in love is good. Look what it has done to our brain. Chaotic and haywire.
Word of advice: Beware of people who are just fall in love.
