Dopamine attachment | Dopamine is an attachment chemical. Dopamine helps the brain "attach" to things likely to lead to survival, and avoid things likely to lead to destruction.

Notes
Dopamine is an attachment chemical. Dopamine helps the brain "attach" to things likely to lead to survival, and avoid things likely to lead to destruction. As Psychologist David J. Ley says, dopamine release is “like a little red flag to your brain, saying ‘hey, pay attention, this is about to feel good, and you want to remember this, so you can do it again.’” [3]
Dopamine attachment is implicated in the development of "addictions," or what we call Toxic Attachments. Dopamine attachment in response to Toxic Socialization is the root cause of "addiction" (i.e. Toxic Attachment (Sosteric & Ratkovic, 2019).
Dopamine attachments may be inactive, active, or broken.
