I Don't Think A Lot Of People Realize How Addictive Outrage Can Be. You Do Get A Dopamine Hit From Feeling

I don't think a lot of people realize how addictive outrage can be. You do get a dopamine hit from feeling and expressing outrage, so your own biology rewards you for it.

I feel like I see it more on facebook these days, but it is on every social media website that you're getting posts meant to inspire outrage thrown into your feed or dash or whatever. And so many people really are addicted to scrolling and looking at videos and posts that inspire outrage in them and getting more dopamine from expressing their outrage in the comments.

Being addicted to outrage on the internet is only going to make you miserable. If you find yourself scrolling and looking for things to express your outrage at and getting a little high from feeling and expressing that outrage, maybe it's time to take a step back. I promise you will feel happier if you stop spending all your time outraged at silly posts on the internet.
