doomscrolling

When you keep scrolling through all of your social media feeds, looking for the most recent upsetting news about the latest catastrophe. The amount of time spent doing this is directly proportional to how much worse you're going to feel after you're done.

Dude! Stop doomscrolling, It's only going to make you feel worse!

I can't! The dopamine loop is too strong!

Doomscrolling

Doom is the attitude of the person scrolling. It could be cat videos, but the person is scrolling because they are incapable of doing otherwise, and the only happiness they are capable of is in refreshing their newsfeed.

All the news is great, what's wrong with Tommy?

Oh, he can't enjoy it. He's caught in a loop and is doomscrolling to hell.
