why would arguing online of all things give dopamine at all? how does that even work?
Low risk high tension social interaction with an ego pushing you to show off = easy dopamine
If you don't get it, I'm genuinely envious. Anger and using wit cruelly can be addictive
i'm the envious one. getting easy dopamine from arguing online sounds great.
Not all dopamine is created equal. Staring at your phone, bickering, empty calories, overeating, drinking, trolling on the internet, porn - all garbage dopamine sources, can feel good very briefly and will lead quickly to downward spirals.
You want to be seeking positive sources of dopamine that relate to an overarching life mission. ADHD is a life of extremes, but I believe you can learn to choose extreme positives.
Laughing at sad attempts at cruelty is so much more satisfying.
Biting wit used to not be so rare, it's true. If you want any you'll have to come back later, I'm taking the high road just now.
Nah. I wasn't even trying to be witty there, just honest. The high-road seems pretty treacherous from my prefered vantage points.
Idk? Why does mod involvement taste like a spicy desert? Sadly I don't write the rules. I'm just in here looking for easter eggs.
I wonder if ADHDers are more likely to be Fox News viewers for this reason
i hope not!
