RE: Every Addiction Can Be Cured and So Is The Smartphone One
I love it! Love your content man!
I’ve been social media free for almost a year now and never again would I want it back! But you’re exactly right! These apps were designed to trap us with these intermittent micro injections of dopamine:P
I’m reading a super amazing book on the topic of addiction right now and here’s a sentence that I liked that I wrote down: “Behaviors become addictions when they are used continuously to avoid something.”
There's always something to be avoided and in 99% of the cases we try to avoid pain by chasing pleasure. With some dopamine spikes social media manages to trick us that using it is pleasurable but after a while one can simply feel it as any other addiction. Not fulfilling anymore no matter the dosage.
You nailed it !!
Thanks.
