If you’re anything like us, you look at the polls and think to yourself, “How can 28% of the voters still think this guy’s doing a great job?”
Well, here’s the answer. They’re hooked on something as addictive as drugs – love.
New research on the brain shows losing a lover can have the same effect on a person as trying to kick a substance addiction, says biological anthropologist Helen Fisher.
She’s studied the brain for 35 years, and says that discovery is the most interesting one yet.
When people have been rejected from love, they pine for it, they whine for it, they live for it, and they die for it, Fisher said on The Early Show.”
“You can’t stop thinking about this person. You crave the person. You do inappropriate things. You distort reality. You lie in bed and cry,” said Fisher.”You drink too much, you drive too fast, you do very inappropriate things when you’ve been rejected in love,” said Fisher.
Sometimes you even feel a tingle going down your leg.
