I am a social person, and I am naturally leaning more towards the social and psychological
stuff vs the scientific stuff. Marco, my uncle told me this:
People tend to feel at ease with me. Find something to take advantage of it!
-
Making myself feel good will not substitute for action.
I have a tendency to avoid stuff once it gets difficult
due to some amount of childhood trauma leading me to think I cannot control this stuff that is out there.
If I want to learn to deal with my problems the first step is to take action even if it is micro-action.

Screen time was substituting for real life.
As I understand it most humans have an innate desire to control their life,
to socialize, to master something and to do stuff. Gaming and screen time are very
good at making you feel like you have done those things which you have in this virtual world.
But meanwhile your real life did not move a bit.
So now if you want to achieve something in the physical
life you’ll need to use willpower because the dopamine is all used up on the screen.
So the absence of YouTube netflix or certain games can help make you more motivated,
make more room for other things.
