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?

I think it only happens with cardio, and you only really get it if you feel like you’re dying. I’ve only experienced it twice, once when I beat my personal best and the second when I ran 12 miles. I generally just don’t push myself hard enough, any discomfort, and I’m just over it.
