‘Enthusiastic’: What motivates someone to always fall in love so quickly?

The expert explains what could be behind the behavior of those who throw themselves headlong into every romantic relationship

Some people seem to dive headfirst into romantic relationships with surprising speed and intensity. These individuals, who are referred to on social media as “emotional,” are characterized by a tendency to form deep, intimate bonds early on, often without a solid foundation of knowledge or emotional maturity.

However, this behavior can complicate the emotional life of those who choose to be intense in relationships. But what motivates this enthusiastic attitude? In an interview with Earth you, the psychiatrist, Cynthia Bragaexplains.

According to the expert, people who quickly commit to emotional relationships often show signs of emotional dependence, such as premature idealization of their partner, the urge to share secrets, or the belief that the new relationship will solve their emotional problems. “It’s also common to feel a sense of emptiness or intense anxiety when you’re out of the relationship,” he says.

The psychiatrist explains that several psychological or emotional factors can lead someone to become intensely and quickly involved in relationships. Some of them:

• Low self-esteem;
• Lack of affection;
• Fear of loneliness;
• Seeking external validation;
• Anxious attachment patterns, which often originate from childhood experiences of abandonment or neglect.

The doctor says there are common personality patterns among people who become “emotional.” People with dependent or borderline personality traits, for example, may be more prone to this behavior.

“Anxiously attached individuals, who fear rejection or separation, also tend to have this predisposition. Emotional impulsivity, common in people with low affect regulation, may also be a relevant factor.”

The expert points out that the behavior of quickly committing to relationships can lead to repetitive cycles of unstable relationships, with frequent breakups and, consequently, negative impacts on self-esteem, anxiety and depression.

Furthermore, emotional dependence on others can hinder the development of autonomy and personal identity, damaging psychological well-being.

Psychotherapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and attachment-focused therapy, can be effective in helping people who tend to get too quickly involved in relationships find emotional balance and build healthier relationships.

“Working on self-esteem and building a solid identity, independent of emotional relationships, is essential. In addition, developing greater emotional awareness and healthy boundaries in relationships are also important aspects of treatment,” concludes the doctor.
