The Top 3 Reasons We Fall in Love

Hani Henry, who is chair and associate professor of Psychology in the Department of Sociology, Anthropology, Psychology and Egyptology of the AUC, believes that Robert Sternberg's psychological theory explains why people fall in love, and they are in fact the most common reasons, which are intimacy, passion, and commitment.

Intimacy

Intimacy can be described as a simple friendship that lacks passion and commitment. Henry stated that intimacy is more than just a close connection with someone. It can also be used to enhance self-esteem. "Sometimes it's self-serving. Everyone wants to be loved and cared for. Women desire to feel their femininity and men desire to feel their masculinity.

Intimacy is captured perfectly in Adele's Hello song. In the song's chorus, Adele contacts her ex-boyfriend and pours out her heartbreak from the relationship. She admits that it has been many years since she last saw her ex-boyfriend and that she has not done any healing. He said that her lyrics were magical and could be used by anyone who wants to feel a connection with someone or have a long-term relationship.

Passion

It is normal to fall in love with someone because we feel strong feelings or desire for them. Passionate love can be developed from feelings that result in sexual attraction, romance and physical interest. Henry said, "When you find someone you like, it is because you are attracted by something that makes you feel that way." " gitari  is physical, and there is a fascination with the hair, eyes and body."

Infatuation is a feeling of love that develops without intimacy or commitment. "People are drawn and quickly develop lust. Some people view a person as an object and become obsessed. He stated that it is possible to be together for years with someone and not feel a commonality.

Commitment

Total love comes from commitment. "People who want commitment are seeking stability and a healthy partnership," he stated. "If  hindi status  seek commitment, they may lack sexual attraction and basic friendship interests."

According to Henry, in modern times, young adults are interested in objects more than relationships. "The objectification comes from consumerism," he explained. The more consumerist a culture is, the less people are interested in making commitments.  hindi status  are more focused on impressing people than they care about. So everything needs to be consumed, even relationships with people."

Love Outside of the Triangular Theory

Sternberg's love theory can be understood by anyone. But we all have our own reasons for falling madly in love. "Your reason for falling in love doesn't necessarily need to be explained by science. Henry said that personal needs include loneliness, fear, peer pressure, satisfaction, and religious values.

Despite what psychology has to say about love, the type of love we choose defines who we are. Each person has their own understanding of what makes them happy and fulfills their human needs. "Some people feel compelled to satisfy every dimension of the triangle. They can't let go of one because they have so many needs. Love is very complex."
