Imagine you are single, in a party with lots of pretty people. You are talking to a few, going around, trying to understand your chances and hoping something will go right.
All of a sudden you find yourself passionately making out with the person you were just scoping out earlier in the day. You are on a high. You can just chill with this person but then you see someone you were also checking out before, this person gives you good vibes.
You think to yourself, maybe they won’t see me, maybe I can get away with it. And you try. You nervously walk around trying to find the right angle to not be seen.
You post something to show the world how great your life is. You want everything and everyone. You dance with both of them at the same time and one is dancing topless. You tell them they have the same name, while in fact they have not. You fuck up.
You stay with the first one and you passionately make out. You want more and you push her away.
She goes home. Nothing was enough. When you are on a high, you want more, when you want more and admit to it, you won’t enjoy the actual moment, because you are already thinking about the next high.
Greed is a real thing - so it's important to regulate your natural dopamine.
