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.
