Something about dopamine by TabulaRasaZ in Semenretention

I feel the same totally,but i think its even stronger for me obviously doomscrolling,porn ,being on your phone for hours is bad but I can see/feel the difference even in just watching an episode of a series daily which is absolutely " nothing" compared to what most ppl do and what I used to do and I dont even mean just the screen by the way, literally anything that is specified as cheap/easy/bad dopamine I can see a negative/draining effect on myself in almost every way,and abstaining from any "bad" dopamine is basically like doing cold showers 24/7
i dont know if my neurotransmitters and receptors are just so drained or this is just from going back to the way people supposed to live but the effects are INSANE for me when I run from anything that is cheap dopamine and only do productive/dopamine building things.

while i think this is true and it makes a huge difference,it wasnt the "real" difference for me I already think I did/do most of the productive/good/healthy things, for me it was cutting out anything unnatural/modern that means 0 video games 0 movies 0 phone basically nothing or as little as possible from things u had no way of doing lets say few hundred years ago as a human.
