Word of the Day: 遵守

On the one hand, it might seem romantic, but the violence and pace of such actions are important signs to conclude that something deeper can be involved.

How Beige Flags Reveal Personality Quirks In Modern Dating Culture
Beige flags are innocuous character traits or habits, which do not hurt anyone, and may be a bit disturbing or noticeable during dating. Beige flags are neither red flags (indicating severe issues) nor green flags (indicating a good fit). They tend to show idiosyncrasies that render one individual, an unusual habit, a hobby, or a weirdly odd way of speaking.

How Love Bombing Creates Emotional Attachment Quickly In New Relationships
The success of love bombing exploits such human psychological instincts as validation, belonging, and emotional security. When one pours his/her love, care, and gratitude over another person, the reward system in the brain is activated. Dopamine and oxytocin are released, producing a sense of happiness and connection. This neurologic effect is able to make the bond seem real and heartfelt, even when the bond is built on heightened or unfeigned action instead of a naturally evolved emotional base.
