This is something that’s been frustrating me to no end recently as I’ve had a ton of time over the holidays to do whatever I want. I have a dozen half beaten games and half watched tv shows that I really should just finish but idk why I just can’t stick to one thing until it’s done and then move on to the next like a normal person.

    It’s because:

    start of thing == dopamine

    finish of thing != dopamine

    We yearn for the brain juice and hop from hit to hit

    Neurotypical people do not have this issue, I’m told

      I think they’re all lying, just to mess with us. Not sure why we’re specifically left out of the joke, but it goes back generations.
