Habituation of feelings? Thank you for your input, perhaps we categorize feelings depending on what we are dealing with, for example with someone we might develop fonder feelings (or not), as you mention new associations, as we get to know them more and likewise for places/objects we might either like them more or get bored of them with repeated exposure.
I noticed that even if there are places I know I really like (I acknowledge their beauty) if I visit them too often I feel as if the sensed/perceived beauty isn't quiet the same...might be the fading of the novelty effect?
