Stop Chasing Dopamine @TheDiaryOfACEO

The scam system xd

I've just realized this exact concept applies to making youtube videos/content creation. You only get the hit if the numbers are high

Is this how nicotine works too?

Classic Law of Diminishing Returns

I am still a cannabis addict, but I have been developing myself in the past year. Life is different

I was with you all the way until you started relating it to the gamers… Bored after 5 hours most games do not get good until after 15 hours.. in my opinion games are not like drugs where it gets to the point where you can't use them effectively….. Just started a new playthrough with a friend on a game that I've been playing for more than 10 years. There might be some gamers that are fueled by the aspect you're talking about but most just like to play games/puzzles

Real question is: why are we like this

So the big question is, is dopamine mainly bad and should we try to actively avoid releasing it?

Me watching this trying to remind myself to not chase that dopamine today

Knowing this means you have a huge potential hack, if you're willing to work

Damn you, Tom clancys, the division i haven't played an actual fun game since

If u feed your body thinking it’s feeding your soul that’s when depression and negative thoughts about life start

In this modern time we can look at it on an inverted scale. As you receive happiness in excess you lose happiness per unit. However, if you are able to balance your happiness intake per day. The amount, even though decreased, is experienced at greater happiness levels(per unit) than if you take excessive happiness. Everything in moderation People.

Dirt bikes work

I used to ride motocross. Full adrenaline at times from that, and I always felt a good afterglow. Maybe the exertion was a factor. Clearing a new jump is very frightening, exciting, and is fulfilling in its own way. Camaraderie with other riders is cool too.

Gacha games have been my big weakness lately. There's a huge dopamine hit when I win a character or if I roll good gear with nice stats for a character. These gacha games definitely feel like a drug.

Skateboarding isn't a crime. Although you probably have a higher chance of being arrested if you are holding a skateboard ngl.

This is true nothing is too fun after the third hour of it

A helpful thing i do for games, is i imagine its me going to the park or the playground. Play nice, play fair, whatever happens happens, and just enjoy the experience. Not every night is mlg, but most nights are good through that acceptance of the variability
