The dopamine clique

Jump to newest
 

By (user no longer on site) OP   
over a year ago

I was chatting with a friend about the Fab forum the other day and she expressed the usual gripe that it feels cliquey. Then we talked about how I found it quite addictive with all the little dopamine hits and she said that's what the clique is... it's a small group of people who are addicted to the dopamine hits of posting something and having someone reply to it. And I finally realised she was right. That's exactly what's going on with a core group of people on here who just chat away endlessly about everything and anything like Graham Norton's character on Father Ted.

So this thread is some advice for the dopamine junkies out there. I was there. This is what I did. Firstly I went cold turkey and took a whole week off. Then I started viewing the forum via the desktop site without logging on. If you're on a phone you'll see the link to it at the bottom of the front screen. After you click through you can select "forum" from the banner at the top and you're in.

This enabled me to enjoy reading the forum again but in a read only format. Something I may continue to do after I leave. But this little bit of distance from it also puts in an extra hurdle. A thread really needs to be exceptional to bother logging in and contributing to. But, over time, you'll realise that none of them really are all that exceptional. And the need for that dopamine hit reduces and you finally feel less antsy and agitated and in need of "something".

As with my other post, I'm envisaging this'll get some people's backs up. But the intention is noble. There are some good people on this site and if they're locked in a negative dopamine addiction I truly hope they can break away from it and settle back inside themselves in a more grounded way. Fabs forums provided me with real relief from some of the crap I went through this last year. But it left me with an addiction I needed to deal with. This thread is for others who suspect they may have gotten wound into an unhealthy relationship with this or other social media. I hope you find a way through it. All the best everyone xx

I don't know what a dopamine clique is, but the forums work for some and not others. I've actually found some useful information through the forums, but on the whole, had lots of laughs and made a couple of nice friends who we private message each other

I used to contribute to loads of threads , and felt it was all worthwhile . I’d get upset when I had a timeout . I would be miffed if no one quoted me , and even more upset if no one agreed with me .

Those day are long gone .

A few months ago someone suggested in a thread that I may be part of the clique ! The fact that forumites themselves said that the person who suggested this must be mad as I’ve never been anything like that in all the years on here spoke volumes .

I don’t get a dopamine like fix any longer from coming on here , far from it . But it passes time when there’s nothing else to do I guess .

Your friend has good incite OP the little dopamine hits as you describe it I would agree with. I always think its a bit of a substitute for real life interaction and find it fills the gap for lonely people. I tend to use it more when in my flat down here away from most family and friends.

You’re possibly right, I see here and my Twitter (which is mostly football based) and my football clubs forum (my three main Social Media platforms) more as a distraction from day to day life to be honest.

But they’d be dull if nobody ever responded - the interaction is what makes them fun. Who doesn’t like social interaction? It’s why you go with your mates to the pub. Or out playing sport. Or any other social activity : to interact with other people and have fun.

I think you’re possibly over-thinking this, but you’re definitely right that I prefer people to respond to me than ignore me!

Sean Parker, the founding president of Facebook, admitted that the social network was founded not to unite us, but to distract us. “The thought process was: ‘How do we consume as much of your time and conscious attention as possible?’” .Facebook exploited a vulnerability in human psychology . Whenever someone likes or comments on a post or photograph, he said, “we… give you a little dopamine hit”.

It's an established fact that people addicted to likes and fabs and views and winks on social media are getting a dopamine hit out of it, and it's easy to see when there is a real neediness to their use of the site.

But dopamine is also released in any kind of physically or psychologically rewarding or pleasurable activity - healthy social interaction for instance, exercise, dancing, nicotine, or surprise, surprise, even SEX!

So I would suggest that there is a full spectrum of need/pleasure-reward going on here. It's certainly a great place for psyche watching.

I prefer the straightforward, light-hearted question threads to back and forward interactive ones. I've always loved filling out questionnaires though, so I must get my fix from answering superficial questions like 'Whats your favourite...? or 'Name a song...?' etc where there's not much need for a response. I don't think I use Fab for anything on a very deep level.

Oh I disagree, we've had some great discussions over the years, only thing keeps me on the forums!

It’s just replaced Facebook for me really! And met a couple of lovely people along the way. "

Totally different usage for me - I use Facebook to keep up with all the 'real world' events I go to, and to keep in touch with one or two long distance friends, but never have any kind of in depth discussion on there, and it's not 24/7 active like fab is lol!

Is it bad that I use the Fab forums to keep abreast of the news ?

You should definately not go on after 10pm."

"You’re possibly right, I see here and my Twitter (which is mostly football based) and my football clubs forum (my three main Social Media platforms) more as a distraction from day to day life to be honest.

But they’d be dull if nobody ever responded - the interaction is what makes them fun. Who doesn’t like social interaction? It’s why you go with your mates to the pub. Or out playing sport. Or any other social activity : to interact with other people and have fun.

I think you’re possibly over-thinking this, but you’re definitely right that I prefer people to respond to me than ignore me! "

touche!

I'm no role model. I'm terribly addicted to forums.

"Well being here certainly cured my Twitter addiction. I'm barely there anymore Much more fun having someone look up your skirt I guess.Twitter don't offer that.Nice view by the way.

Depends if its naughty or nice Twitter

Wait, there's a naughty twitter?

There is, and it is appalling

So are you going to share where this filth can be found?

I only found the tip of the iceberg really, I may need to dig up my log in details from some long lost recess. "

Will there be stripy tights and no knickers though?
