Most of us dream of becoming risky, wild, and completely free. And what we can't do by ourselves, we mostly find attractive in other people.
There is something truly magnetic about people that radiate with an aura of freedom and pleasure the thrill gives them. Not all of us are designed to perform death-cheating tricks, but some of us definitely are: we call them adrenaline junkies.
If you are struggling to understand that special someone in your life, this article might be helpful.
- Figure out what you are dealing with
We all hide an adrenaline junkie inside of us.
But what happens if your partner is addicted to adrenaline to the point where it’s mind boggling and the fear of death vanishes entirely?
Try to have and open heart and mind. Follow some of these tips:
- Find out what is causing the adrenaline rush
Scientifically speaking, one's heart rate can be increased due to: risk, pleasure or danger. What causes the adrenaline rush for your partner? It might be an extreme sport that they like to practice (speed driving, bike stunts, bungee jumping etc.) – but these are obvious and fall into the "light" category.
The second group is more problematic, as an adrenaline junkie can get excited by having bad habits such as staking, stealing or getting addicted to narcotics.
The news that might put a smile on your face is that an adrenaline rush can even be caused by falling in love. So, pretty much, you could be the reason that your partner’s heart rate is over the top!
- Stay calm and show support
Maintaining a romantic relationship with an adrenaline junkie is truly challenging and it will require understanding and patience. You need to dig deeper and see behind the apparent thrill factor.
The topic at hand is a person whose character trait is extremely strong and that can take over all other emotions. So, it is your job to stay calm – no matter what happens.
Remain level-headed, learn how to give proper advice and encourage them by saying that it is not bad to be a risk-taker, but one must do it with caution. Patience is a virtue!
- Be the guru
Let’s be honest – being around an adrenaline junkie means never being bored.
If you want to keep your whole budget from falling into the healthcare pit, you will have to inform your important other about relaxation techniques like meditation to reverse the body’s stress responses when one is overwhelmed by the need to fulfill the thrill.
Another good thing to consider is invest in reliable equipement. Better be safe than sorry.
- Find common interests
You might not be the type of person that knows how to have a good time in all situations or to live life to the fullest, but luckily somebody nearby knows. Try to learn something from them that will enlighten your daily routine and develop a common interest.
Learn to Love your adrenaline junkie, for what is life without adventures?
