A lot of young men feel lost after going MGTOW. They make it worse by engaging in mindless internet surfing instead of taking action to improve their life. Some of them will choose to pursue a romantic relationship to distract themselves from loneliness and boredom.

When you go from near-constant very high levels of dopamine for a long period of time to cutting that out, you are going to feel bored. It’s inevitable in this case, and it’s also good! It’s a clear sign that your brain is struggling without its constant fixes of dopamine from technology and social media and internet vices. The good news is that the brain is a wonderful thing, and it’ll definitely readjust if you can power through the dreaded boredom for some time.

By doing a dopamine detox and readjusting your brain, you will eventually need less and less stimulation to feel a dopamine hit. What pleasure you could once only get from an hour of highly-stimulating video games, you’ll get from reading a book. You will be so bored that eventually, “boring” things will become fun.
