You might have ADHD. People with ADHD have brains that absorb dopamine too quickly, causing them to constantly seek excitement and making it harder to concentrate on something they don’t find exciting. Stimulants can help by slowing your brain’s dopamine absorption and allowing you to relax.
In wider terms, nobody’s brains are exactly the same. The more we learn, the more it becomes apparent that neurodivergences are everywhere. As a result, two different people might have vastly different reactions to the same substance.
