The positive grip experience

[noisebloom]

Bear with me, because it's entirely possible that in a couple hours I will think/realize that I'm a complete idiot and this is all horseshit. For now, let's entertain a possibility with a weak premise.

When I get really stressed out or burn out, my Ti drops out and I become a fucking wreck. I'm excessively paranoid, feel like I'm under attack, super sensitive, etc. I withdraw a lot more than usual. Grip.

However, when I have a huge crush on someone (hypothetical atm), I stop rationalizing everything. I explode with connection-inducing emotion. I start holding onto fond memories. It also seems like a grip. Just a positive grip.

Has anyone experienced that eustress can bring about a positive grip experience? Or is this merely the result of excessive dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, vasopressin, etc. release?

Another interesting question (which may or may not be related): do romantic relationships affect types' priorities via function stack uniquely?

Sure, beautiful women illicit lust in heterosexual men.

Or is this merely the result of excessive dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, vasopressin, etc. release?

Simply, that's what love & lust are.

Well, I've seen beautiful ladies. With that said, my priorities don't change upon seeing them; I understand that their physical beauty will fade with age. On the other hand, my money will compound with time.

I think this is just part of being human, much like fainting.

In rehab, my sister met a heroin user who described the feeling he experienced as "like the best Christmas ever, jumping on mom and dad's bed at 5 AM to show what Santa brought [...]," so, I'm reminded of how crying releases endorphins, so it is an act of self-soothing. I always feel better after crying.

We die without human contact.

/Oh, good!
