Love! Any beings on the earth might at least once feel its essence. The lovable effect makes one realize how love is beautiful. You might have watched many love-centric movies like Titanic, The Fault in our Stars, and many more, which attract many people toward love, but first, love is not something you can explain to someone; it can only be felt by the heart.
Sometimes this first love might become painful for some people, but it always stays special. Even watching your lovable one's activity can make your day happier. But while experiencing this, have you ever considered how psychology plays a role in love? To know more about it, let's see more in detail.
Psychology is formed by the two Greek words that are Psycho and Logos. The word psycho refers to the soul, and logos refers to study. The simple meaning of these two words is to study humans.Â
Regarding the American Psychological Association, psychology studies the human mind and behavior with social and environmental factors and social pressures.
It usually studies how you act, react, feel, etc. In this process, a psychologist understands a person's state of mind by conducting surveys and interviews. Even the first love also includes psychology. Let's see how?
Being human and having a close feeling with someone you love most is common, even if you know, they would never love you. This is considered in psychology because it is mainly related to the mind and behavior. That's why people in their first love especially experience different behavioral changes.Â
The triangular theory of love evolved by psychologist Robert Sternberg has stated that love has three components; intimacy, passion, and commitment. You have always assumed that love is connected to the heart, but through the eyes of psychology, it is bound by the mind. Even the psychology behind love always says that when you care about a person, you try not to harm them, which is what first love is. Let's see why first, love becomes an integral part of someone's life.Â
You all have been in someone's love, which has charm. Firstly when a person falls into the ocean of love without any line of expectations, that is First love. When people come in contact with their first love, they might feel on top of the world. Even though some people don't get their first love as a life partner, still remembering the memorable times spent makes them happier.Â
When a person enters a relationship with their first love, they adjust all things they have not liked because they don't want to hurt the sentiments of their partner.

For someone, unexpressed love can be painful, but still, they assume their first love is a part of their lives even though they are not life partners. Having a small presence in their daily schedule may also make them satisfied.
Most people consider their first love innocent. Some people find it in childhood when they remember the various techniques they used to impress their crush. Sitting next to the schoolgirl has turned many boring classes into memorable ones. Later these tiny beginnings of memories make their sky of love innocent.
In adulthood, when someone gets into a relationship for the first time, they usually start making memories in small activities like hanging out with love, having lunch or dinner with them, Sneaking in the park to meet lovable ones, etc. All these things make their love innocent.
It is known that love is a great feeling in terms of care, but apart from this, it also impacts your body. A study was conducted in 2015 by biological and anthropologist Helen Fisher on couples using MRI scans that show their love as a motivation system rather than emotional. Â
According to the research of Harvard Medical School in 2017, there were such hormones released by the brain make humans stress-free and calm. Let's see what those hormones were.
