Women are only empathetic because they understand one fundamental part of women that men struggle with.
Which is women just want to bitch and complain without ever hearing about solutions or fixing the problem. Men struggle with that idea of it, which is where the famous idea of men lacking the ability to listen or be empathetic comes from.
As should be obvious, its pretty fucked retarded of a metric but because women make the rules of society through force of vagina blackmail it became accepted.
The problem is that this behavior seems to be increasing in men as well. Any idea if how to solve that since you said you did study psychology, remembering you talking something about combining exercise with talks so a combo of a shrink and trainer.
Its cliche but one of the biggest problems is making people realize there is a problem.
Society has a struggle with conflating positive reward with returning to neutral. One common example is people who think "getting drunk" is a positive reward without every recognizing the inherent problem of they should never be in a place where unfeeling and removed inhibitions are a positive thing.
If you need to drink to talk to that girl, you don't deserve to talk to her. You need to address why you are so nervous to begin with instead of just going for it. Same with if you are so stressed that you need that escape to not break, and so on.
And that goes on with so many aspects of life. "I need my Starbucks/coffee" instead of asking why you need an addiction to caffeine. Using the dopamine rush of complaining about a problem as a greater high than the simple return to neutral of not having a problem at all. Letting yourself be lonely and changing standards, instead of working to enjoy yourself enough that neither relationship or single is much worse than the other. Etc, etc.
It becomes a problem with men as well because society in general has moved towards treating women as the default that men should strive to be, instead of the opposite or two pieces that need to compliment the other. Men would also rather hide in escapism and degeneracy, whining about the rich, the chads, the evils oppressing them, rather than go out and make themselves not able to be oppressed and needing hedonism to live in pleasure.
Interesting, As always knowing oneself is key.
Would you say if they have achieved such a dependency on the dopamine hit that it near complete dependency is better to have them naturally crash (which would be the eventual outcome ) rather than forcing a intervention?
Stimuli overload is a problem in basically all of modern society. We are bombarded from all angles by so much stimulus, and in turn dopamine from much of it, that even from youth we are gaining tolerance and addiction to it before we can even fathom the damage it is doing. There cannot be a real crash simply because existing in society will make sure we do not.
One must truly begin to grasp the threads of their own life to begin to pick away at them one string at a time to slowly free themselves of that. And it can only happen in small enough doses to grant the strength to make sure they don't creep back when you focus elsewhere.
