 In the movie, Wicker Park, Alex says, Love makes you do crazy things. Things in a million years you never thought you'd see yourself do, but here you are doing it. Sometimes our actions make it obvious that we're in love. On the other hand, our behavior might be so subtle that we're not even conscious of it. In this video, you'll learn about six unconscious things you do when you're in love. Keep watching to find out if you do any of these things yourself. Noticing their needs. Have you noticed that you do little acts of service like this for your partner without thinking about it? You could be doing these things because you're in love. Falling for someone causes you to shift from focusing on your own needs to considering your partner's needs too. This can show in thoughtful actions that feel automatic to you. For example, every morning, Sai wakes up and makes himself breakfast, but lately he automatically makes double the amount so that his girlfriend can have some too. He subconsciously considers his girlfriend's needs rather than just his own. Making sacrifices. When people are in love, their mirror neurons, which help us empathize with others, are significantly more active. This might explain why we make compromises and sacrifices more for people we love. When you're in love, you might notice that you make sacrifices for your loved one without thinking twice. These could be small. Like going to a restaurant you're not too fond of for date night because you know they really want to go. Or it could be something life-changing like moving across the country to be with them. You feel like you would do whatever it takes to ensure they're happy and you're subconsciously more empathetic towards them than you are with most people. We, not me. Here's a quick thought experiment to see if you're in love with someone. When you talk about the future with them, do you find yourself saying we more than me? When you're in love, you might unconsciously use language that presents you and your partner as a team and use words like I or me less often. If you picture a future with your love interest in it, this will start to show in the way you talk. Idealization. People who are in love subconsciously focus most of their attention on their partner's positive qualities. In fact, participants' perceptions of their partners were even more positive than their perceptions of themselves. When you're in love, you might idealize your partner, meaning you only see the good in them and put them on a pedestal without even realizing it. Subtle Touches. Pop Quiz. What's the most reliable way you can tell by someone's body language that they're in love? The answer is touch. Think PDA, like hand-holding or sitting close enough together that your legs are touching. When you're in love, you might subconsciously touch the person to show that you care about them. An Open Heart. Besides touch, another unconscious thing you do when you're in love is use more open body language. You might automatically have a more relaxed posture and face your chest or heart space towards the person you love. You may also notice that your palms face upward when you talk to them. This is another unconscious indication that you are open and comfortable with them. We hope this video helped you learn about the unconscious things you do when you're in love.
