Addicted to negativity?
Can you be addicted to negative thoughts and failure?
Just like some people are addicted to drugs, for example, they are simply addicted to negativity.
Is some substance being produced in the body, like happiness hormones, but just the opposite?
Hmm.. I don’t know anything specifically about a particular substance or hormone, but our brain is simply programmed by nature to react more strongly to negatives to identify possible dangers.
I would say that one can get used to having negative thoughts again, or even vice versa more positively (word: neuroplasticity).
Otherwise, it seems to me that people often feel connected to other people in situations where they are excited about something together. Of course there is also the opposite and you can also feel connected to someone if you are looking forward to something together.
I have somehow the feeling that it is more recognized in our society or is considered to be cooler when one considers life mainly from a critical perspective than from a positive one.
Sorry, but a person who longs for negativity is mentally disturbed. It is triggered by the stress hormone Cortisol, which narrows the blood vessels and allows the blood pressure to rise rapidly.
One could, for example, begin to think negatively through a trauma, and at some point one might be addicted to it.
Then a psychotherapy should take place urgently.
I can only fully agree with that. That’s all right!
With so many Miesepeter, I actually have the impression that the bad mood needs and best everything goes wrong so that no good mood comes up 😵 💫
As far as I know – no.
For what reasonable reasons do you want that?
It is said that Cortisol has a negative effect, which is to be addicted to.
Actually, it’s a stress hormone. I can’t imagine anyone wanting to be under Sress all the time.

Read here once and ask yourself if it could be the desired (sounding) reasons for you.
Not for me!
