and report back with how it changes your Coli experience and how you feel. I'll let you keep the quotes and mentions but for now lets see what kicks if we don't flip that dopamine switch:

"Notifications heighten our self-worth, are how we know someone is listening to us and caring about what we have to say"

"How bad does it feel to put up a selfie and get no likes? To post a funny video and get no LOLs? To write a status and get no response? To realize that your contribution to the social media conversation wasn't worthy of an answer? Notifications tell us that it was important, that we are important."

"We truly crave that validation. Ford's 2014 consumer survey reports that 62 percent of adults felt better about themselves after getting positive reactions to what they shared on social media. That's a huge percentage."

"Every notification is a possible interaction opportunity, so every time we cater to that little (1), we get a hit of dopamine, which recharges our "addictive compulsion" to social media."

Generation Notification: Why Our Brains Literally Love Notifications

You ready to break free or are you still a slave that craves the hit of a notification? Is your self esteem tied up with the thoughts of strangers expressed via 1 and 0s on a screen? You ready to break free or are you just another fiend?

Ive been negged twice by posters I have never interacted with one of which didn’t even realize I was agreeing with him.

Instead of leaving a comment with the neg they both posted in the thread” negged for quoting me”. Almost like it would boost their”status” by letting others think that this poster is below him.

From that point I knew some of these dudes live for/through this shyt.

I post here to past time and sometimes even forget I quoted people, only to see the notifications a few days later.

There is a way to turn that stuff off? I'm fairly new here. I'd be glad to be pointed in the right direction.

I don't care about that shyt. I'm my own God, b.
