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 ๐
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

I get a bigger kick by being helpful and sharing relevant content.
I helpfully tell people why they're misinformed cause I think learning is for everyone.
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

Goddamn it.
fuck. ๐คฆ๐ฝโโ๏ธ
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.
So literally everyone has adhd now. Got it
I think increased screen time has contributed to more people developing symptoms of adhd. If we'd just go out and get a life, we'd be able to focus more long-attention span on things.
It's the Live Internet Theory. Everything you're reading is the sock puppets of one hyperfocused person getting all the dopamine.
Nah, just the cool kids. Welcome.

Often when I upset strangers online I feel bad and log out for a few months.
Yeah this has been making me almost miss the amount of bullshit I could easily clown on when I used reddit.
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.

That explains why I get antsy when I havent been online for a while. I cant argue with people endlessly in real life. Nobody likes that guy.
