Not so much related, but I wanted to tell you that leaving this online-dopamine-hit cycle was the best thing I did for my health. I deleted all my social media accounts back in 2019, except for twitter.
This year I made the decision to actually remove myself from twitter because I noticed how enraged certain posts from my feed would make me feel.
Little by little, I was projecting that rage onto the real world. I realized I no longer wanted the online world to interfere with my physical reality.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that no matter the opinion (positive or negative), the amplification of it, will eventually warp our sense of reality.
After the first few months of being completely cut off from social media, I started noticing more the kindness in the world. I also noticed how comfortable I became with boredom.
Regardless, this is not related to your op, but I wanted to share what worked for me and hopefully will work for you.
