The Joy of Seeing Someone You Like

 



Have you ever wondered why you feel happy when you meet someone you like? It feels as though you're receiving a delightful gift, doesn’t it? 

This happens because your brain reacts immediately. One of these reactions involves the release of dopamine, often referred to as the "happiness hormone", dopamine provides a sense of satisfaction and joy. 

Imagine it like the Inside Out movie, when you see someone you like, your brain reacts in a way similar to how Joy operates. Hormones like oxytocin and serotonin also play significant roles, much like how other emotions in Inside Out contribute. Oxytocin, known as the "love hormone," helps you feel closer and more connected to the person you like, similar to how Joy makes Riley feel connected to important people in her life. Serotonin regulates your mood, much like how Joy balances Riley when she faces difficult situations. 

Emotionally, seeing someone you like often reminds you of positive memories and enjoyable experiences. These memories trigger feelings of happiness and satisfaction. Anticipating interactions with them or even just seeing them can boost positive expectations, enhancing your sense of joy. Just as Joy manages happiness, the feeling of seeing someone you like adds color to your life, making it brighter and more meaningful. Their smile can lighten your days, and their presence provides warmth amid the sometimes monotonous routine. 

In Islam, liking someone is a blessing that should be approached properly. The process of liking and getting to know someone should be done respectfully and in accordance with Islamic values, aiming for a relationship that is pleasing to Allah SWT, not just one that makes your heart race.

Love often strikes without warning, without a clear reason, and sometimes even without us realizing it. Have you ever found yourself wondering why you love someone? Then you might have thought, "Does loving someone always require a reason?" Some people might believe that love is something logical, that there must be a clear reason like physical attraction, personality, values, or a mutual understanding. Even so, according to psychologists like Robert Sternberg, love isn't always easily explained by logic. In his theory of the triangular theory of love, Sternberg suggests that love consists of three main components: intimacy, passion, and commitment. These can exist in various combinations, and sometimes we fall in love because of one or more of these elements without being able to fully explain why . Love can also be influenced by unexpected factors like hormones, social environment, or even the enjoyment of certain interactions. In Islam, falling in love is not ...

 Is Life Really Unfair? Have you wept over your life that you feel is unfair? Have you ever felt that the universe is not on your side?  You might often find yourself trapped in the thought that life is unfair. Difficulties, disappointments, and frustrations make you feel like the world is against you. But is life really unfair, or is it perhaps your perspective that is unfair?  We need to acknowledge that everyone faces different challenges. Some are tested by poverty, some by illness, and others by their physical conditions, while some seem to lead easier lives. However, if we look deeper, we will find that everyone, without exception, faces their own tests.  Life provides different opportunities and challenges to each person, and how we respond to them is what truly makes the difference. When we feel that life is unfair, it is often a reflection of our minds focusing on the negative aspects. Our minds tend to magnify things that don’t go as expected and ignor...

The Importance of Loving Yourself Loving yourself is not as easy as hating yourself, isn't it?  We hate ourselves more often than we love ourselves, loving ourselves is sometimes not as easy as it is sounds. Indeed, we may face some obstacles when we think about loving ourselves. For example, sometimes we compare ourselves with others. But hey! Do you know the quote that says,  "Do not compare yourself to others. Be like the sun and the moon, and shine when it's your time"?  It means that even the sun and the moon have their own time to shine. So, start believing that the path of every human being varies. Ok, so why do you think Self-Love is so Important?  As far as I’m concerned, self-love is the foundation for helping people stand up for themselves, pursue their dreams, feel proud of what they have achieved, and establish healthy relationships with others.  Self-love is a way to love ourselves by accepting all the conditions within us.  A self-love phase,...
