sometimes when i feel good enough around a group of people something changes about my vision and everyone’s faces look softer and more detailed. this is exactly what happened when i took oxytocin so now i know that means oxytocin was produced

Huh. When I took oxytocin (which was prescribed me for a physical condition), it had basically no psychological or cognitive effects for me, only physical ones...

were you around other people? supposedly what oxytocin controls is “social salience”
Replying to
Yeah. It made no difference in my interactions with my partner or friends. The only difference I noticed was that getting nice service in shops felt nicer. But I'm a super warm and empathetic person anyway (though I have hypopituitarism and am not supposed to produce oxytocin!).
