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
A basic friendship is a relationship that involves a person falling in love with another person for intimate reasons. It lacks commitment and passion. "Besides developing a close connection with someone, a lot of people seek intimacy for self-enhancement; it doesn't necessarily have to be for sex," said Henry. "Sometimes it's self-serving. Everyone likes to feel cared for and loved. Women want to feel feminine, while men want to feel masculine.
A perfect example of intimacy captured is Adele's Hi. Adele, in the chorus of the song, calls her ex-boyfriend to vent her grief about their 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
Letting ourselves fall in love because of desire or strong feelings for a person is normal. Passionate love is developed as a result of feelings that lead to sexual attraction, physical interest and romance. Henry stated, "When someone you like is attracted to you by something that draws them to that person." "The attraction is physical, and there is a fascination with the hair, eyes and body."
Infatuation can develop with someone you love if there is not intimacy and commitment. "People become captivated and develop lust. Some people become obsessed with a person and view them as an object. He stated that it is possible to be together for years with someone and not feel a commonality.
Commitment
Total love comes from commitment. He stated that those who are committed want stability and a healthy partner. hindi status who are only looking for commitment might lack basic friendship interests and sexual attraction."
Henry stated that today's young adults are more concerned about objects than they are about relationships. He said, "The objectification of culture comes from consumerism." "The more consumeristic the culture becomes, the less interest people have in commitments. Some youth are more interested than others in pleasing people they don’t care for. Everything must be consumed, even relationships with other people.
Love Outside the Triangular Theory
Although it's common that anyone can relate to Sternberg's love theory, we all have our personal reasons for falling in love. "Your reasons for falling in love don't necessarily have to be scientifically explained. Some personal needs can be the fear of being alone, social peer pressure, satisfaction or religious values," Henry said.
No matter what psychology says about love, our choice of type of love defines who we are. Each of us has our own ways of understanding what makes our lives happy and meets our 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 can be complex.
