Why would it be?
Dopamine detox + nofap should be an easy motivationmaxx but it didnt work for me

I dopamine detox for two days and I would feel like a kid.

Dopamine detox is retarded fyi.

Going for a walk in the park produces dopamine.

You think it would, but for me it doesn’t lmao
gymcelling , walking meditating , even socializing and talking to women all this shit just makes me feel still the same after
hard metal music & bonesmashing for some reason is my only cope.

You are better off looking at how to be more disciplined than motivated.

A lot of people do things every day that they don’t want to do because they have to (gym).

Not saying it’s the key to happiness but habit formation and discipline is generally a big part of a fulfilling life.

I formed habits. I was consistently doing them for 3 months, making progress with myself, towards hardmax/softmax goals etc. but i still felt empty

i hope you can understand, not a motivation thing

The issue is you guys do things with the expectation of an immediate result after.

If you do “good” things over time (gym, meditate, read, study, good diet, socialize), no shit it won’t always feel good immediately afterwards.

Do it for a year and compare yourself to your older version.

Compounding effects work.

i can do work, but i dont feel joy, i feel depleted of dopamine even after stimulating things. maybe my receptors have been overabused and i need to detox. i dont think a week is enough to cure a habit formed over years

You are still 16 man. It’s normal to feel like this.

Being “empty” and figuring that out is too far big a subject for me to go into tbh my ass lazy rn.

Maybe I’ll come back to it

If you play video games / jerk off constantly nothing will come close.

I suggest toning those down and working towards other things.

I’m not saying quit cold turkey or do nofap or a dopamine detox because those are marketed strategies and don’t actually assess the root cause of the issue.

Stop/tone that down that asap and find other things to do in your day.

Likely means you are bored/have nothing to do which imo being “bored” as a young man is a terrible thing.

I want to believe you did this but if this includes junk food and fapping then you are lying 100%, not a hater, dont know you, but lying for sure

Results just kick in. I feel more alive. My mom cooks my food since I was born (med kings stay winning) so I’ve never had the experience of being addicted to junk food personally.

Fapping is a hard one for me personally. I have a wet dream like every 4 days and I can’t really make my dick not make itself cum unless I have the mental fortitude of a monk.

Dopamine detox takes more than 1 week my dude
