why do we act like dummies around crushes

394 views

I’m pretty sure everyone has had this experience. Why is it so common to suddenly not have the ability to show your best self when around someone we are attracted to in those early crushy days? What’s actually happening? Any social scientists have a decent explanation? Do animals do this? I want to know more!

Physiological effects wrote in this thread are great answers but there’s a complementary very simple psychological explanation :
You start watching your every move to avoid looking bad which makes you act very unnatural. You also try your hardest to be at your highest but this ends up being your weirdest because you’re not used to it and people at their best don’t force it.
