The dopamine spikers are so prevalent nowdays, it’s sickening

Social media is, duo to the dopamine release, addictive just as porn and MO. I’ve deactivated my Instagram account a couple days ago and had no major urges ever since. When I’m feeling stressed or a bit in the mood, my brain almost automatically taps on the Instagram icon on my phone. Now I just see the reminder that I’m logged out.

I can advise anyone to quit the social platforms you don’t really need for socializing with your friends and family. It will save a lot of dopamine releases and most likely relapses.

 

Everything is as hookable as posible even food fashion technology media name it and it has undergone evolution to hook you. Living a simple life is hard

 

I managed to exit Instagram three months ago because it went more boring and more boring as days passed. Now I wish I never opened it. But, no experience equals no lessons. I'll never regret it. If I had much less friends at WhatsApp I would stop using it too.

 

I have a question.

I deleted all forms if social media in 2016 and only have WhatsApp. I mostly use the internet to read the news to see what's going on the world. Problem is I can spend quite a bit of time doing this as I'm constantly wanting to know what's happening in the world around me. Basically whenever I'm not busy doing something or active. I don't have time to read the news when I'm at work from 7:00 to 17:00. During this time my phone is only used to answer or make phone calls. No WhatsApp or internet.

Can this also be a dopamine spike problem?

 

Yeah can defimately agree with this

Alot of peoples anxiety is caused by excessive social media usage, Quitting most social media apps has kept my anxiety to a very minimum.

 

I dont delete my account but i delete instagram app for 5 days that's a reminder that i'm not that addicted and then when i open instagram i don't scroll for more than 30 minutes a day. i agree that social media is exhausting especially in this lockdown state when you fight with boredom.
