"people who said they got their energy from food were less likely to have been in love"
He says, as I, a viewer who's never been in love, listen to him while eating.

Still waiting for someone to lower my serotonin levels...

So...could you take a vasopressin suppressant to cure a broken heart? (cough) I'm asking for a friend...

[llamacopter]

Dammit, I was going to say "Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more..." but like 500 people have already seen fit to say it without checking the comments to make sure it hasn't already been said.

This doesn't answer what love is... this just answers what chemicals your brain releases when you are in love.

What is love?
Baby don't hurt me
Don't hurt me
No more

The reason you want to spend 100% of your time with your new lover is because by doing so, you dont allow anyone else to spend any time with that person and thus, you dont have to worry about whether they're screwing around with someone else, allows you to be sure if a kid is made during that time, its yours...provided you do spend 100% of your time with them.

This is also why you feel like crap when you arent physically together, thats your body trying to make you work at getting back together with that person for as long as possible. The Brain Chemistry bit of the video is spot on. And now you've learned the reason for it being the way it is.

Sorry but i cant resist " baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me no more..."

Everyone gets their energy from food. If they say they get energy from love, starve them of food but get them plenty of love to prove them wrong. :)

Love is when somebody knows what you need and helps you get it so much that returning the favor seems natural so that you can stay with them longer.

Are you sure theyre not looking up "what is love" for the haddaway song?

[FoolysMindbrainedmydamage]

What might cause someone to not experience love? Would face planting a coffee table as an infant and damaging the left temporal lobe have any affect? 

[jessicakitteh]

This topic is literally my favorite, I'm so confused about my life and what this so called "love" is. Even know this didn't answer my question it helped my understand my emotions better so I don't have the need to beat my self up as much :3
