Dopamine Robber

Anybody from the opposite sex that gets you smiling at first, over the thought of her/him, but is way too charming and endearing to the point where you risk getting addicted. Until one day, you wake up realizing your brain is suddenly incapable of producing natural endorphins because that amazing person of the opposite sex unknowingly robbed the dopamine receptors in your brain. (The somewhat psychological definition.)

Someone who is like a drug you get addicted to and so then you gotta dig yourself out of a hole. (The layman's term definition.)
-Riley: "Hey, I saw you a couple months ago and you were happy in an almost manic way. What happened?"

-Madison: "Yeah, I met this boy who was a total dopamine robber. I'm through playing with fire."

-Riley: "That sucks."

-Madison: "Trust me, you never wanna form a crush on a dopamine robber. It's dangerous. You might as well take up cocaine for a hobby."

Dopamine-cycling

Moving through a series of pleasurable but meaningless activities, usually in avoidance of a task or a difficult feeling.
“The whole day I was switching between TikTok, fast food, video games and masturbation. I spent every waking hour dopamine-cycling.”

Dopamine

The feel-good, rewarding chemical in our brains that release when we do something that gives us pleasure. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
“My best friend started smiling when I was walking up to him. I make him happy, so his brain released dopamine when he saw me because it learned that me as his best friend makes him feel good. :)”
