Dopamine, SM and Addiction

#Thread

Please check where you fit and act accordingly.

‘Like’ it or not, using social media can cause anxiety, depression, and other health challenges.

A study performed by California State University found that individuals that visited any social media site at least 58 times per week were 3 times more likely to feel socially isolated and depressed compared to those who used social media fewer than 9 times per week.
How does SM affect our brain?

According to a new study by Harvard University, self-disclosure on social networking sites lights up the same part of the brain that also ignites when taking an addictive substance.
The reward area in the brain and its chemical messenger pathways affect decisions & sensations. 

When someone experiences something rewarding or uses an addictive substance, neurons in the principal dopamine-producing areas in the brain are activated & dopamine levels rise.
Therefore, the brain receives a “reward” and associates the drug or activity with positive reinforcement.

This is observable in SM usage; when an individual gets a notification, such as a like or mention, the brain receives a rush of dopamine & sends it along reward pathways,
causing the individual to feel pleasure. SM provides an endless amount of immediate rewards in the form of attention from others for relatively minimal effort. The brain rewires itself through this positive reinforcement, making people desire likes, retweets, & emoticon reactions
SM use becomes problematic when someone views networking sites as an imp coping mechanism to relieve stress, loneliness, or depression. SM use provides these individuals with continuous rewards that they’re not receiving in real life, so they end up engaging in the activity more.
This continuous use eventually leads to multiple interpersonal problems, such as ignoring real life relationships, work or school responsibilities, & physical health.

And to get rid of bad interpersonal relationships, work responsibilities one uses more SM.
It's a vicious circle.

Please ask yourself the following questions to understand whether you are addicted or not?

1. Do u spend a lot of time thinking about SM or planning to use SM?

2. Do u feel urges to use SM more & more?

3. Do u use SM to forget about personal problems?
4. Do u often try to reduce use of SM without success?

5. Do u become restless or troubled if unable to use SM?

6. Do u use SM so much that it has had a negative impact on ur job or studies?

7. Do u have the urge to be continuous contact with SM people to maintain consistency?
Please find out more about yourself and save yourself from addiction.

I know this thread might annoy several but it's in the favor of your health/well-being.

There are people in real life who love you. Don't neglect them.

Since I got an outstanding response, I have decided to go ahead.

So here it is :


"Gandhi met Kallenbach in 1904 while working as a young lawyer in Johannesburg, and the two men are said to have become fast friends," GlobalPost Senior Correspondent for South Africa Erin Conway-Smith said.


"Today you can visit and even sleep in the house that Kallenbach designed for Gandhi in 1907, and where the men lived together for about two years."

Gandhi lived with Hermann Kallenbach, a German-Jewish bodybuilder and architect, in the years before he travelled back to India.

In 2011, the government considered criminalizing any insult to the Independence leader after Gujarat banned Lelyveld's book for daring to suggest Gandhi might have had a homosexual affair.

By buying and displaying the controversial letters, India would be demonstrating a new willingness to embrace Gandhi in all his complexity, rather than reducing him to a two-dimensional
The bizzare version created to again divide and rule.

This #Thread is not to give these jokers undeserved attention but to expose the fraud of this racist pseudo-history.


1. If Durga Puja story is a myth, so would be the Mahishasur martyrdom story.

2. If Durga Puja story is based on the Brahminical fraud, will Mahishasur martyrdom story break this fraud?

3. History must be rewritten. To appease Bahuj@ns?


4. SC/STs and other D@lit - B@hujans were systematically oppressed by the Brahmins.

Then how did the Ahoms, Bhils, Marathas, Garos, Khasis, Jats, Gujjar, etc rise?

How did the above create history?


5. The bizzarest of bizzare

Who created this Mahishasura Martyrdom day?

This story was first published in an insignificant Hindi magazine called Yadava Shakti. In 2011, it was published in Forward Press & was used by the AIBSF(All India Backward Student Federation) unit of JNU


The orginal article was made chatpata by adding phrases like 'must be', 'may have been' etc

Forward press is run by a OBC - Xti@n.

So who are the real people spreading these pseudo-historical stories? Xtian missionaries and the infamous JNU activists.
Today on the Birth Anniversary of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, I wish to narrate how our hero was treated by the Government then.

One of the several reasons, Sam Manekshaw was treated badly, is mentioned in the tweet below 👇🏽

#sammanekshaw


When Dr.Abdul Kalam was the President, he visited Coonoor. On reaching, he came to know that Field Marshall Sam Manekshaw was in the Military Hospital there. Dr.Kalam wanted to visit Sam, which was unscheduled. Arrangements were made.

#sammanekshaw

At the bedside, Kalam spent abt 15 minutes talking to Sam & enquiring abt his health.

Just before leaving Kalam asked Sam "Are you comfortable? Is there anything I could do? Do you have any Grievance ? or any requirement that would make you more comfortable?"

#sammanekshaw

Sam said "Yes Your Excellency, I have one grievance". Shocked with concern & anguish , APJ asked him what it was .

Sam replied "Sir, my grievance is that I am not able to get up & salute the most respected President of my beloved country".

#sammanekshaw

Dr. Kalam held Sam's hand as both were in tears.

But the remaining part of the tale with regards to this meeting is the most essential part.
