Endless scrolling, instant likes, and quick dopamine hits—let’s explore how social media affects our brains.
Every like, comment, or notification triggers dopamine, the "feel-good" hormone, making social media addictive.
Constant scrolling conditions our brains to crave fast content, making it harder to focus on longer tasks.
Social media reinforces a cycle of seeking quick approval, affecting self-esteem and decision-making.
The expectation of instant results in digital life can make real-world waiting and effort feel frustrating.
– Set screen time limits – Take regular social media detoxes – Engage in activities that build long-term focus, like reading or meditation
