Your Dopamine Levels Are Fried

In today’s digital age, social media and algorithms have a significant impact on human behavior and preferences.

The consumption of content on a large scale began in the 21st century, meaning that some children have grown up only knowing phones and digital tools.

There are concerns that these platforms are making children more impulsive as their dopamine levels fluctuate due to their addictive nature.

This raises the question of whether we are unintentionally creating a generation of individuals who struggle to appreciate real-life experiences.

To be honest, I’ve been somewhat addicted to social media in recent months.

It’s the first thing I grab for in the morning and the final thing I look at before going to bed.

It’s almost as though I’m missing out on the present moment. Spending hours glued to a screen has somehow become a norm, and being without a phone seems, well, weird.

Despite all of that continuous scrolling, I can’t help but experience a growing sense of dissatisfaction.
