one gives you much more dopamine than the other, simple as that. Adderall or meth would make ANYTHING interesting like driving, homework, even shitposting lol

Literally autism / asperger, also possibly depression, ADHD and general retardation.

This is caused by weak reward system. Over.

true, with this place there is a good flow of dopamine every few minutes, but with assignments you don't get any dopamine until you're actually done, and while the dopamine reward may be larger than getting a few individual reactions it requires much more commitment and effort that doesn't entirely outweigh the mental effort required to get it

I hate anything that requires long strenuous mental effort, I can morph faces and talk about lookisim and phenos and attracting foids etc for hours though

i feel that. using my brain for school is insanely hard but i can sit down and tryhard a videogame, or even debate people on this forum, for a long time.

the problem is i just don't enjoy the school work i'm doing, if it gave me pleasure i would sit down and get it done and do it well.
