This is most of why I'm on lemmy, got banned from reddit for the same lol
I was diagnosed by Dr Mirror
Pffff. This person is clearly incorrect about many aspects of this 🙄
Source? Peer reviewed source? I think theyre Correct as this has happened to ME. are you denying my experiences?
Your opinion is bad, and you should feel bad!
Come on, no need to fight, everyone knows you're both wrong!
Actually, I'm convinced they're both right.
Lol i just went to the comments to reply "yeah? Well i disagree!" To op's post - now i feel seen 😂
Do you, though? I beg to differ.
Well this is bullshit I have ADHD where the heck is all the dopamine?
It's a slow trickle. It's like the research that was done into gambling addicts. The majority of dopamine doesn't come from winning. The majority of it comes from the anticipation. Or in our case. Writing out a long comment that no one else will read.
Is THAT why I write a long response and then just delete instead of sending my reply?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that means you're unlikely to become addicted. You've course-corrected mid-post and now you're anticipating that the argument will be futile. A dopamine fiend would forge ahead hoping for some great win.
That's just anxiety coming to the party.
It doesn't mean you feel euphoric. It's more like a reinforcement. -an addiction.
I know I was being flippant. What I mean is, the few (several...) times I've gotten into internet arguments I am always drained and unhappy and profoundly do not want to do it anymore, even if I am arguing over sincerely held beliefs. I guess I can see why trolling can be addictive, eliciting engagement is a kind of power over people, and power is addictive. And arguing over things I don't care about probably takes a lot less emotional investment than things I do care about... I feel like I'm talking myself into being an internet troll. Still though, seems like a miserable way to get your rocks off :/
Yeah, typically when someone is trolling, they're doing it just to piss off the other person. Like, Bugs Bunny doesn't get worn out from torturing Elmer Fudd.
He stays bright and chipper and sassy the whole time while Elmer Fudd edges closer and closer to the aneurysm that will finally send him to hell.
It's because the only dog he has in the fight is you
why would arguing online of all things give dopamine at all? how does that even work?
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.
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 get a bigger kick by being helpful and sharing relevant content.
We get it bruv, you win, you're definitely the most helpful rolls eyes
...I try my best
Whether that amounts to anything is still up to debate.
Yesssssss then we get to debate
I helpfully tell people why they're misinformed cause I think learning is for everyone.
Goddamn it.
fuck. 🤦🏽♀️
So literally everyone has adhd now. Got it
It's the Live Internet Theory. Everything you're reading is the sock puppets of one hyperfocused person getting all the dopamine.
And people think I have an issue when I say " I gotta go start a random disagreement online with someone to feel better", I don't care if I lose.
...you do have an issue. But you're not alone! Lol that's something
Well yeah, I have a plethora of them, but this isn't one.
Umm, yeah, actually I definitely don't argue with people online
Often when I upset strangers online I feel bad and log out for a few months.
I have been very pleased recently because I started shit in a sub. The post was all about some guy who stacked a bunch of modems to download a file at half a megabit per second (your home internet is probably 1000x that speed).
I said it was a stupid and pointless waste of time. Nobody agreed and that little seed has produced a LOT of sweet delicious argument fruit. Funny what'll get people's goat. I didn't start out with a battle in mind but I'm feeling pretty smug about the whole thing.
Now I get trolling.
Lol!!! I saw your comment, wrote something to get shit stirring at a bit higher pace, and pressed cancel. I don't have the mental capacity at the moment for the shit I was about to send in every direction hahahahaha!!! But I thoroughly enjoyed the shit that you threw about
That’s the beauty of it, you can just post that, and then let others sling shit at each other. I do it to my friends who like to argue about politics a lot. Start a conversation that I know is gonna cause them to bicker, and then step away and watch the fireworks while eating popcorn.
Why would you post this? you don't even really have adhd
Dopamine???
Yes, Snake, Dopamine. cue black & white montage Back in the late 20th centurt we started understanding that people with ADHD have a deficienty in Dopamine, causing lack of motivation.end montage
That is one reason why i love arguing
Dude, for sure you do NOT love arguing. I don't even think you like it. Just quietly accept that you're wrong.
I do!! I also just like taking with people about things!
The lighter side of ADHD
