If somebody is giving you mixed signals then the chances are that you are a backup and they genuinely not interested in you and doesn't see any future with you keep yourself protect by these kind of people in the very beginning. If you are seeing these gestures coming from them then don't ignore them. You shouldn't be with a person who doesn't gives you value. you also deserve enough energy of him/her as much you are investing on them. What you don't want in the beginning you will not tolerate in the future so keep yourself protect. 🙏

I am a human behaviour expert and in many cases I have seen after all the drama in the end people just want a stable secure relationship and the dopamine chase becomes burdensome. It affects health badly as well. Many land into therapy.

The crazy part is she does not even know that she makes me addicted or obsessed with her. It gets even harder when you stand in your own way but assume that someone else sabotages you. I hate me for doing that to myselfe.

Well...I decided to have that dopamine chase for higher power...God. It's an interesting journey 🎉

As someone with ADHD, this video is VERY eye opening!!

Since I have started watching her videos I have stopped falling in love, approaching men, pursuing them and responding to their interest. Because, I observe my thoughts and actions every time & understand why I feel certain ways & boom! The attractions are gone.

The breakdown of dopamine's role in romantic obsession is fascinating. Thanks for your sharing!

With markets tumbling, inflation soaring, the Fed imposing large interest-rate hike, while treasury yields are rising rapidly—which means more red ink for portfolios this quarter. How can I profit from the current volatile market, I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $125k bond/stocck portfoli0

I think I'm experiencing something similar.
A few years ago I met this girl who's a friend of my sister. She lives away in another city and was visiting my sister. We went on some dates a couple of months later when she was visiting again. Hit it off really well. We even get intimate. Then she goes back home, but we still keep in touch. She then starts disappearing more and more until I stop texting her thinking I was just wasting my time and feeling like shit for months because I really liked her.
Then I see her again last week at my sister's wedding. She apologized for ghosting me, telling me that she really liked me, but was scared of the distance and somehow felt anxious about keeping in touch. All cool and dandy and we enjoy the evening. Then later, after the both of us had some drinks, she grabs my hand, leans in and we kiss. We spend the rest of the night making out like crazy, but also talking about how it sucks that we live far apart and can't make it work. We both want to go to my place and bang like there's no tomorrow, but she keeps her composure, saying that it's a mistake, that we will get burned again and that she doesn't want to hurt me again.
Well she was right. Even though we didn't go all the way I can't stop thinking about her and about how I'd love to see her again, about how it really sucks that we are long distance and couldn't at least try to have a normal relationship with her.
I'm even thinking about texting her and proposing her to try to go long distance. I really just don't want to give up the only girl that liked me without me having to jump through countless hoops and that I really felt a strong connection to.
Maybe I'm just venting here, but I think that this story has some relevance with the video's topic. I crave her because she gave me the strong highs when we saw each other, and then there's the lows after she ghosted me back then and now that I can't see her.

So glad I watched this video. Makes so much sense and it’s very helpful for discernment in new relationships.

Great content from you on this channel.

I want to be in my first relationship without all the bad addictions. Just simple love. No one sided. Mutual. Stable. I want to have babies with her. My first girlfriend and my one and only lovely wife even during and after misunderstandings and fights. No break up no divorce. I want to find love which is loyal like how my parents have. I'm 22 and I got rejected 3x!

[tommytwotones]

Now I understand codependency from an addiction disease perspective! Thank you. Now I have to chase youtube for another video... oh, wait.
