Love is the most beautiful feeling on Earth. Everybody falls in love and most of the time, they don’t ever realize what’s happening or they can’t explain that feeling. We are attracted to a certain person due to a lot of reasons, but most of them remain unconscious. Some of the most famous psychologists in the world have tried to find explanations for this phenomenon and they have worked on a number of theories that should explain love and why we are attracted to a certain type of person. Here are 7 eye opening quotes about the psychology of love that will blow your mind:

Laughter is Important
/filters:quality(70)/content/ca/sq/pokc0_brigade-penolong_mica_text_font_brand_500x500.jpg)
Did you ever wonder if someone you are attracted to likes you or not? In psychology, there is the “interest indicator” theory that states that humor indicates relationship interest, whether we are talking about a romantic, professional or personal relationship. So, apparently, studies do show that if a person likes you, they will be more likely laugh at your jokes.
This intriguing interest indicator theory is built upon the concept that laughter serves as a social lubricant, easing communication and fostering connections. It's important to note that the laughter we share carries more weight than we may realize; it's not merely about finding something funny. It's a way for us to subconsciously signal that we enjoy someone's company and, in turn, reinforce our bonds with them. Whether it's a chuckle or a full-blown giggle, laughter plays a key role in the dance of human relationships, speaking volumes where words sometimes cannot.

Look into Your Heart

Sometimes we might not really know what we want. For example, we might find ourselves be attracted to two different people and we might not know who to choose to be in a relationship with. Carl Gustav Jung says that you should look into your heart and your vision will become clearer.
Jung's wisdom guides us to understand our deepest desires. Our hearts can often reveal truths that our minds struggle to rationalize. When it comes to love, it is not just a matter of choice but also of deeply rooted feelings and connections. The exercise of introspection can be challenging, yet it is essential. By taking the time to truly listen to what our emotions and instincts are telling us, we can find clarity amidst chaos. This internal exploration can lead us down the path to genuine happiness and fulfilling relationships.

Unconditional Love

A lot of studies have shown that poor self-image is linked to the absence of unconditional love or to someone’s belief that they are not loved. We all have our little flaws and imperfections and we all want someone to love and accept us just the way we are. But instead of trying to change ourselves to please others, maybe we should focus more on what makes us happy because, after all, we are responsible for our own happiness, not our partner's.

Love Makes Us Better
/filters:quality(70)/content/mv/xk/j2ped_walgreens_text_font_organ_line_500x479.jpg)
Love does make us better since we try to correct our flaws and we let go of our egos so we can make our partners feel comfortable and happy. If you are with the right person, then you will notice what a huge impact that person has on you and your personality and how much they motivate and inspire you to work hard to reach all your goals and to follow all your dreams.

You Become Selfless
/filters:quality(70)/content/cm/tj/rvrvk_person_conversation_screenshot_sense_love_600x327.jpg)
When you are in love, you become more interested in the other person’s happiness than your own. You would do everything in your power to make them happy and to put a beautiful smile on their face.

Your Reality is Far Better than Your Dreams
/filters:quality(70)/content/be/ft/gkbd0_kathir-college-of-engineering_text_picture-frame_presentation_writing_600x338.jpg)
Your reality can be far better than your dreams when you are in love. The fact that you think non-stop about your partner can cause you insomnia, but you don't worry because you are glad that your lack of sleep is due to the fact that you are so happy when you are awake that you don’t like sleeping since you don’t want to miss a thing.
Love has the power to magnify the beauty of the present moment, making the waking hours more enchanting than any dream. Every gaze, touch, and shared laughter with your partner compounds into a reality so rich, it surpasses the boundaries of your dreams. In this state of bliss, even the mundane becomes extraordinary. Amidst the routine of daily life, you find treasures that you couldn't have even imagined in your slumber. This tapestry of experiences weaves a pattern more intricate and colorful than the unconscious mosaics of sleep.

Selfless Love
/filters:quality(70)/content/gn/by/jj3zc_text_font_line_shape_brand_488x258.jpg)
Love usually comes when you think more about what the other person wants, when you dare to reveal yourself fully just as you are, with all your flaws and imperfections; basically, when you dare to be vulnerable because you feel safe with that person. You know that you don’t love someone because they love you; you know that you are loved because you love them and that if you want something to change in your relationship, that change starts with you.

Love is a Practice
/filters:quality(70)/content/c2/br/bvu45ce859020e2bbf579406454114_600x600.jpg)
When we're little we all dream of an instant love at first sight feeling-it doesn't exist. Love doesn't just happen in a split second, rather, you have to work for it. And if the other person is willing to work just as much, you two are capable of building something beyond wonderful together!

With Love Comes Fear
/filters:quality(70)/content/i9/fc/ibs2d2si5902118706f17530035089_500x750.jpg)
We've all felt it-those deep and loving feelings-and then the fear sets in... "What if they don't love me back?" We are never afraid to fall in love; in fact most people are always willing to experience more love. Our fear is what comes when we think of not being loved back. Whether it's happened in the past, you cannot let that fear stop you!

Love is CoNfusing
/filters:quality(70)/content/ob/dt/sv839lc359021273c646d810445712_600x600.jpg)
Isn't it funny how tricky our brains are? Like when you try not to think of something you end up thinking of it more. Or when you first have a crush on someone and all of a sudden their name is everywhere. Well this is a prime example... When someone is on your mind a lot you're on there's; which is probably why people in love are constantly reminded of their significant other; because they're both thinking about each other a ton!
