What causes this phenomenon scientifically speaking?

How did you go from one state to the next? I don’t get it anon. Please explain.

Your brain isn’t being rewarded with sweet, sweet dopamine simply for pressing a button or viewing information on a screen. It’s having to do real, actual work but no dope is coming out of the faucet so it concludes that you’re trying to murder it slowly.

you need to le dopamine detox to actually start enjoying doing real work because your brain becomes so bored it just wants to do something, anything

>remove social media
>remove porn
>remove junk food
>remove snacks, sugary drinks etc

i get it you cant remove everything but if you keep trying to eliminate as much instant gratification from your life as possible you might discover you enjoy doing hard things

your personality is also a factor, some people enjoy staying in their comfort zone and specializing. others always likes challenges and enjoys being on the edge of the unknown. but if you dont naturally enjoy that, the only way is to lower your dopamine base level drastically

if you dont want or cant do that, just enjoy specializing in what you're already good at. you dont HAVE to do "stimulating intellectual tasks"

if all fails just accept your destiny and keep being a victim, gooning and doomscrolling

Give yourself positive rewards. Lets for example assume youre solving integrals or something for intellectual stimulation.
Make it a habit to jerk off after solving 5 of them.
After conditioning yourself enough solving integrals will make you horny and enjoy things.
