Are you addicted to dopamine?

And is it even possible to be allergic to it lol

Nobody is addicted to dopamine. We just use dopamine/endorphins (or equivalents coke/fent) to cope with traumas. And yes, being poisoned by fent is a form of emotional trauma, failing to process it is what causes an addiction, not the chemical imbalance. That's why chemical solutions only lead to endless cash flow.

99% of libido in the world is a means to run away from our anxieties Do you think, until we admit "i was a junkie" and face horrors, everyone has anxiety disorders but only severely traumatized people can get diagnosed?

Over 90% of drivers admit to swearing at least silently on the road which means, in psychology, they have "unintegrated shadow" and in mysticism, they haven't found Jesus. To them, swearing bursts off dopamine to mask their anxiety/demons/torment and keep brewing them in the dark.

If you feel like you are allergic to dopamine (and endorphins by extension) then you are getting close to enlightenment. Yet, lots of people die their whole lives away being this close and never reaching it. You should know that that vices serve to cope away traumas underneath, which makes traumas worse. The devil that tempts is of your own making.

Getting pleasure as a distraction from pain is like rewarding yourself for being a coward. No wonder that the more people seek dopamine the more depressed they get. I think that anxiety + dopamine = depression.

People use drugs to cope with traumas, it's the same thing.
