TIL the concept of an “opposite” to a #dopamine hit is complex, as neurotransmitters don’t have direct opposites.
However, a state that contrasts with the pleasurable effects of dopamine is #anhedonia, which is characterized by the inability to experience #pleasure.

Hello Fediverse!
We are a (very slow) movement of idle idealists, who want to save humanity from overperformance.
Please always write our name in correct camel case.
Pressure to perform is the enemy of happiness and the good life for everybody.
Sloth is a virtue.
In this society however, being lazy is also a privilege.
We demand a universal right to be lazy.
Nobody's laziness should create more work for others though. Including machines and "AI".
The aim is to consume less and live more.
very simply put:
#procrastination is when you put off tasks because your todo list overwhelms you.
#avolition is when you can't even do basic everyday tasks like brushing your teeth or getting out of bed.
#anhedonia is when you can't do any basic tasks and can't even distract yourself with time killers, because absolutely nothing can bring you any pleasure.
#lazyness is what giant assholes call any of the above.

The State of the Culture, 2024 by #TedGioia is a great read. #NeilPostman #AmusingOurselvesToDeath vibes.
@neurovagrant thank you, today I learned that there's a word for my condition. I always thought it's just my #depression but I just learned that #anhedonia can exist independently.
I'm feeling pretty low today. I'm sick of living in a state where there's no one around I connect with. I just feel sad and empty. I don't belong. I'm also sick of everyone telling me to do therapy when I can't afford it. I wish I could, but I can't. I have little support.
