I’ve been thinking a lot about how my phone use has been messing with my brain, especially when it comes to focus, dopamine, and social interactions. So, I’m going to start reducing my screen time and see what happens—both mentally and in my ability to talk to women.

We all know phones fry our dopamine receptors. Constant stimulation makes real-world interactions feel dull, and I realized just how bad it’s gotten. The other day, I was talking to a worker, and I actually got bored mid-conversation. Without even thinking, I pulled out my phone and started scrolling. That’s when it hit me—I’m so used to instant entertainment that normal, real-life moments don’t hold my attention anymore.

I’m not quitting cold turkey, but I’m going to slowly cut down my screen time and see if it rewires my brain. My goal is to: • See if my focus improves • Find out if I feel less anxious and more present • Test if my ability to hold conversations (especially with women) gets better

Anyone else tried this? How long did it take before you felt different?
