Does personality affect the uptake of ATP?

• throw149102 7y ago
  Potentially, I've never seen a study relating personality to ATP. The usage of "energy" here is a metaphor for how the dopamine system is invoked in the brain. Introverts have less dopamine released in a social interaction than extroverts do, and that gives the impression of "tiredness" or "having less energy".

    Yeah I think I would generally agree with this. I did not necessarily mean energy in a literal sense. If you've ever been hanging out with friends and suddenly you just don't want to talk or do anything except for go home then you'll know the feeling I'm referring to. It's a feeling of depletion, but perhaps it's due to dopamine or another neurotransmitter
