When you have a crush on someone and they text you or call you, your heart will start to beat faster than usual. This is because epinephrine and norepinephrine from the brain are released into your bloodstream, when you are attracted to someone. This will make your heartbeat and pump faster when you hear the voice of your crush.

Ever get frustrated during a Facebook argument when someone only links to sources supporting their claim, even if those sources are sketchy AF? Called “Confirmation bias,” the idea is that people will always be drawn to and more readily stand by “facts” that confirm what they already believe to be true.

Think your personality changes over time? You’re partially right. It’s been proven that your core personality traits don’t change as you age. However, over time your anxiety levels, friendliness and bravery for trying new things can flux multiple times depending on experiences and trauma related to those experiences.

Emotional blunting means that your feelings and emotions are so dulled that you neither feel up nor down. You simply feel "blah." People who experience emotional blunting will often report:
1. Being less able to laugh or cry even when appropriate
2. Feeling less empathy for others
3. Not being able to respond with the same level of enjoyment that you normally would
4. Loss of motivation and drive.

Thinking through decisions in a foreign language helps take the emotion out of your thoughts and helps you focus on making a more rational decision.

It takes five positive things to outweigh a single negative thing. Our brains have something called a "negativity bias" that makes us remember bad news more than good, which is why you quickly forget that your coworker complimented your presentation but keep dwelling on the fact that a kid at the bus stop insulted your shoes. To feel balanced, we need at least a five to one ration of good to bad in our lives.

Money can buy happiness, but only up to a certain point. Research shows that in terms of income, people have a “satiation point” where happiness peaks and earning more won’t actually make you happier. Different studies have suggested various amounts (one 2010 study said $75,000, but a 2018 survey said $105,000), but the point is the same: Constantly aiming for more, more, more won’t necessarily do you any good.

The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon also called the Frequency Bias or Illusion is the seeming appearance of a newly learned (or paid attention to) concept in unexpected places.
It is sometimes crossed over with similar thinking pattern, selective attention, where the brain tunes out non relevant information, so we suddenly notice and surface related information.

When you’re watching a scary movie or walking through a haunted house, you get all the adrenaline, endorphins, and dopamine from a fight-or-flight response, but no matter how scared you feel, your brain recognizes that you’re not really in danger, so you get that natural high without the risk.

Studies show that on average, a crush lasts for a maximum of 4 months, if you still have feelings for your crush after the four months period, you may be in love. Other studies suggest that only 1% of crushes actually result in a relationship so the chances of your crush turning into anything worthwhile is only 1%.

People with early-onset dementia are often mistaken for having depression and now research has discovered the cause: a profound loss of ability to experience pleasure that is related to degeneration of hedonic hotspots in the brain where pleasure mechanisms are concentrated.

According to research in Current Biology, it doesn’t matter if you like where you’re at right now or not ,most of us have an “optimism bias” that convinces us the future will be better than the present. We assume we’ll rise up in our careers, never get divorced, raise little angels of children, and live to a ripe old age.

“Catching” a yawn could help us bond. There are a few theories about why yawning is contagious, but one of the leading ones is that it shows empathy. People who are less likely to show empathy, such as toddlers who haven’t learned it yet or young people with autism, are also less likely to yawn in reaction to someone else’s.

The “rule of reciprocity” suggests that we’re programmed to want to help someone who’s helped us. It probably developed because, to keep society working smoothly, people need to help each other out. Stores like to use this against you, offering freebies in hopes that you’ll spend some cash.
