The Love Hormone

Human contact is important. Oxytocin is very similar to dopamine in that you feel a sense of pleasure from it. However, Oxytocin is different in that it isn’t quite as intimate as dopamine. Think of it as the warm feeling you get while around your best friend. Yes, you get the same feeling with your significant other, but that’s the point. Sure, this says the love hormone, but chemically speaking, you get the same thing from having close friends and being with them. Relationships with your significant other isn’t the only thing that matters. Hang out with some friends today, I’m sure you’ll all enjoy it.
