So doplemanie would be released if you felt any sort of attraction to someone? That's what I'm getting from this.

Answer 11

Yeah

Answer 12

High levels of dopamine and a related hormone, norepinephrine, are released during attraction

Answer 13

It's why when people fall in love they become so enamored with the other person.

Answer 14

So, if I may ask, is this a reason for people being "clingy?"

Answer 15

High levels of dopamine and a related hormone, norepinephrine, are released during attraction. ... Finally, the attraction seems to lead to a reduction in serotonin, a hormone that's known to be involved in appetite and mood.

Answer 16

Clingy is actually an attachment style most likely stemming from a relationship with a parent.

Answer 17

So being clingy is the same thing as being reliant on someone/something?

Answer 18

Not quite. If you're interested I'd recommend looking up attachment styles. Attachment styles are actually set very early and can range from healthy (secure attachment) to unhealthy (avoidant).

Answer 19

Got it. I'll go look this up now. So just for clarification to my question, Doplemine would get released if you had a foreign attraction to someone?

Answer 20

Dopamine is released in attraction yes.

Answer 21

Okay, Thank you for the help. :D
