Susan Bratton explains how oxytocin, the bonding hormone, does more than deepen intimacy. It makes you less annoyed by other people, reducing everyday irritability and improving your mood around others.
There's a cascade of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, feel-good. There's a creation of oxytocin, which one of my favorite things about oxytocin is not the bond to my partner or the love expansion that I feel or the skin health and the hair health and all of those things. It's that I'm actually less annoyed by people. So, if you want to just be generally You're literally less annoyed by people? Up your oxytocin!
