i realize i was probably the only one here spending 10 hours a day on social media, but anyway dopamine fasting is a thing.
i didn't invent it and when i first learned about it i didn't want to accept that it is something i have to do. i was in denial about my dopamine addiction.
well having quit i can say that addiction was as real as it gets. like alcoholism or anything else.
it makes you a different person. literally. it is NOT about the *time* wasted online. it's about how you act OFFLINE after your brain has been whacked by dopamine.
i never spoke to anybody in the real world simply because they were all too boring for me. and i also never took care of any of the shit that needed to be taken care of for same reason - BORING.
this all changes completely when you quit social media. you become a new person within days.
