Wondering about how dopamine desensitization from social media and other super stimulating things can affect your mood?

And not just mood, but your life?

Could it be making your life more gray and boring?

Well, this is what we are talking about today, so stay with me here...

Dopamine Desensitization From Social Media Makes Your Life Boring

Do you find that life is getting more and more boring and that nothing really seems to bring you that sense of joy you used to have when you were younger?

Well, if so, then obviously there could be thousands of reasons behind it and naturally, if things are bad, you should definitely seek some professional help, but here’s something for you to ponder as well.

Imagine going out on a sunny day...

Most of you have probably experienced the following scenario...

You go outside on a sunny day and you’re outside for a while. Perhaps you even happen to look towards the sun for a few seconds.

Then if you immediately go inside it is like everything inside is very dark even if it’s in the middle of the day.

A down-regulation takes place when we are exposed to a potent stimuli...

This is because the sun is so bright so by looking towards it your eyes quickly dialed down their sensitivity to light in order to protect themselves.

And as a result the normal light inside now seemed gray and dark in comparison.

Well, my friends, this is exactly what can happen to your brain's dopamine system as well if you keep hammering it with too much low value dopamine stuff.

Dopamine desensitization is similar to the sun example...

Just like with the sun example, if you keep overusing too much so called supernormal stimuli, your brain can start dialing down its sensitivity to dopamine in order to protect itself.

And if it does, all those day to day life activities start to look more and more gray and boring.

And so now some of you may say...

"Ok that sounds logical and all, but what exactly counts as low value dopamine activities?". 

Low value dopamine activities...

Well, here are some examples…

• Too much junk food and alcohol
• Doing nothing else but paying video games all day long
• Surfing on social media for hours upon hours at end
• Jumping from video to video to video on online adult sites several times a week
• Or doing any other form of recreational drugs

Overstimulation of dopamine can reduce your dopamine receptor density (which is a bad thing)

These are all activities that can be so stimulating for your brain's reward system that it will start to reduce the number of dopamine receptors in order to protect itself from all that overstimulation of dopamine.

And when this happens you are now left with a disruptive dopamine system in your brain as you are now less sensitive to dopamine.

So once again, if you are finding that your normal everyday life is looking way too gray and boring, maybe you just have a boring life and need to make some changes.

If your life seems boring ask yourself if you're doing too much staring at the 'dopamine sun'

Or then you might want to start asking yourself the following question…

Could it be because I’m doing way too much gazing at that super stimulating dopamine sun?

Mmm…yes, a question well worth pondering in today’s highly stimulating world.

And if you wanna discover more about the potential brain changes that can happen as a result from using too much online adult sites, then take a look at this video right here ==> Can NoFap give you success?
