The Love of Fear | The Flood

The Love of Fear | The Flood

  • When we get scared, we get a rush of adrenaline and a release of endorphins and dopamine.
  • The biochemical rush can result in a pleasure-filled, opioid-like sense of euphoria.
  • When we are reminded of our safety, the fear subsides, and we’re left with a sense of relief and well-being.

The Love of Fear | The Safety Net

The Love of Fear | The Safety Net

When we get scared, our bodies go into fight, flight, or freeze mode. So if we are in a setting where we get a “safe” fright (like watching a horror film), our brains will quickly evaluate the situation and tell us that we’re free from risk.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.
