Twitter's a classic case of addiction for me.

It hooks you with a quick dopamine rush but also sneaks in some low-key anxiety.

The buzz comes fast and goes fast, while the anxiety creeps in slow but hangs around longer.

When I'm stressed, I go after those dopamine hits, but they just end up making my stress worse.

That's why I've stopped using it and feeling much better for it.

This is true for all social media not just X.
