Your Type
The other person merely made an inadvertent small gesture, but in your head, you've already planned your future children's names and your retirement home, boasting an astonishing internal theater. This habit of "overthinking and premature planning" is actually your subconscious defense mechanism against "future uncertainty and lack of security"; you fear that if you take things one step at a time, accidents will happen along the way and you'll lose them, so you use a fantasized perfect ending to soothe your current anxiety. But living in the future only makes you miss the reality of the present. Try pulling your attention back to their actual reactions in the present the next time you start fantasizing; when you learn to build connections with your feet on the ground, your romance won't just be a castle in the air.

Cognitive neuroscience research shows romantic fantasies activate the brain's reward system to a degree similar to actual experiences, with about 64% of people in new relationships constructing detailed future scenarios far beyond reality in their minds.
