I just had this random thought while lying on my roof, listening to “Young Dumb & Broke,” and being in that same state.

So, signals in your brain, good or bad, are there because they serve a purpose. While bad signals aren’t pleasant… that’s kind of the point. Often they’re a sign something is wrong, preparation for something threatening to your safety, or deterrent from things that aren’t in your best interest. We depend on them more than you think, and without “bad” signals, you’re actually pretty liable to mess up your emotional and physical health with ease.
Good signals are also important. Motivation and positive feedback are also just as critical–if this was absent, again you’re pretty much gonna lose your emotional and physical health quickly.
Balance is important. Being able to feel both sides is important. Your body is wired around this, so when one signal is coming through way too strong for way too long, this can be a sign something in the sensitivity is no longer working as intended, so your body compensates–whatever is supplementing the upturn will be eventually offset by your body essentially turning down your internal sensitivity. Now, if that supplement was removed, the lower sensitivity means a crash, but if it remains, it just means it becomes your new normal or baseline level (within reason/generally speaking).
