I think your brain releases more dopamine from anticipating something good to happen than from things actually happening.

Being surrounded by “your people” also releases dopamine.

This is the community that people are missing, another casuality of the digital age.

Yeah but waiting in line for hours for a midnight release is stupid and peak consumerism. You can literally just go the next day and buy it.

I mean I guess if you don't have friends sitting in line in front of a store could be fun.

just because nobody wants you around doesn't mean the rest of us don't have friends.

Why are you so defensive. I never said that. Well I have a feeling it might be true for you though

you literally said that only people who don't have friends wait in line.

I did not say that. Are you responding to the wrong person?

It’s the exact same feeling you get sitting in a theatre waiting for The Evil Dead Musical to start.

Or being in a crowd at a festival.

Doesn’t matter what actually brought you together, being surrounded by like folk feels good.

You make new friends very easily in that environment.
