The brutal truth about why nothing excites us anymore 🌟
Five minutes ago, I closed Netflix after scrolling for 30 minutes. Before that, I checked Instagram. Before that, TikTok. Now I’m here, writing about being bored while literally having access to more entertainment than any human in history.
The irony isn’t lost on me.
Plot Twist: We’re Not Actually Bored — We’re Overwhelmed
Remember when we were kids and could play with a cardboard box for hours? What happened to us?
Let me drop some truth bombs about why life feels increasingly “meh” despite having everything at our fingertips:
1. We’re Living in the Era of Micro-Pleasures
- Double-tap on Instagram? Dopamine hit
- New message notification? Dopamine hit
- Food delivery at your door? Dopamine hit
- Random TikTok scroll? Dopamine hit
We’re basically dopamine junkies chasing increasingly smaller highs. No wonder skydiving doesn’t cut it anymore.
