    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.

    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

    If you don't get it, I'm genuinely envious. Anger and using wit cruelly can be addictive

    Not all dopamine is created equal. Staring at your phone, bickering, empty calories, overeating, drinking, trolling on the internet, porn - all garbage dopamine sources, can feel good very briefly and will lead quickly to downward spirals.

    You want to be seeking positive sources of dopamine that relate to an overarching life mission. ADHD is a life of extremes, but I believe you can learn to choose extreme positives.

    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.

    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.

    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.
