What do people mean by an ‘endorphin rush’ after exercise, and what should you do to make it happen?

I don’t understand what the endorphin rush is. Everyone talks about it as if it’s a known thing but they never explain it. I’ve been going to the gym for around three months now and all I ever get is exhausted and weak, like my body is made of overcooked spaghetti, afterwards. What should I do to get this rush?

The rush isn’t what one may perceive it to be. It’s really like the feeling of relief when you run at max speed to catch a bus that you have to make it just in time and you make it just before the door closes. You are tired, but you feel accomplished, filled with achievement that you pushed through and made it.

To contrast this, It’s not like a “OMG, I’ve won the lottery!” type of endorphin rush.
