nobody on earth has that life. you’re measuring yourself against a creature that doesn’t exist.
what does social media serve ? * Social Media providea glance on an expansive horizon of people's tentalizing ,so called ideal life's . which infact doesn't exist. it makes you eat a particular perception of someone's else life, which that someone else wants you to see. so what it really serve is Desire .

I love this line now ,as know the context.
certain traits like facial symmetry, body proportions, vocal tone, specific behavioral cues all seemed more viable for that in environments that no longer exist.
hmm, even though the idea is nebulous, it gives a rough idea of genesis porn addiction.
understanding this mechanism is the only way to step off the ride.
at the end, after soo much anxiety subsequent to knowing oneself, there is HOPE !!
and because your brain is addicted to the chase ,not the actual item, your mind immediately goes window-shopping for the next deficit to invent.
its a perpetual cycle ,which is known as addiction
an endless pursuit until our consciousness decides to leave this planet.health. freedom. wealth. love. experience.
this is the ultimate truth for most people!! **أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ (1) حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ الْمَقَابِرَ **
The login portal is slow ,and requires too many clicks
reintroduce boredom (and explore your relationship to it).
Best ideas never came while doomscrolling, they appeared by while interacting to oneself's.
make focus feel like a soft return, not a hard reset.
This is the biggest impediment!!. Imagine when you got out of doomscrolling. and you remember , you have to do some homework, or study. what your brain imagines is a pile of paper, a lot words to read, it like sooo mucchhh work. and your brain will choose the easy thing ,i.e. to run away or forget it (again doom scrolling). so to solve this , make the opening as small as you can, if you know you have to study. just say one this single page nothing else. and then i will leave this. then you might start studying and get back to your senses
tiny acts of awareness reactivate the prefrontal cortex and can give you back the freedom of choice.
yes ,this trick definately works, but i would like to add a more easy way,it is to adjust your eyes to the edge of the screen which require minimal effort, or make your vision blurry. do what requires minimal effort bcz in autopilot mode or default mode,you are not at your senses and its not easy to move ,speak or touch anything. so, if you do this you might get out of it for a second then go and change your environment to somethig . cold wash your eyes with cold water. it will definately help!!
However, high stimulation over time leads to desensitization. The more novelty you consume (think just how much content you consume in 5 mins of doomscrolling), the more you need to feel engaged. Everything else (like reading a book, sitting still, writing an email) starts to feel slow, boring, uncomfortable even.
Its the whole mechanism your brain is being distroyed with, just in few line. amazing, just few lines can state the most powerful way to destroy human focus time span.
dopamine isn’t just about pleasure, it’s about anticipation. In other words, it’s the thrill of what might be next that hooks you.
Dopomine is pervasively misunderstood as a pleasure hormone, infact it is an anticipation hormone. which makes you hooked on a anticipation. you scroll endlessly just to think a signle good real and i will quit. Yet,even after watching that reel,you always say 5 more minutes,which eventually expand into hrs. so, its becuase you are not chasing pleasure but anticipation
