To vastly oversimplify, opioid addiction and withdrawal symptoms are influenced strongly by dopamine receptor downregulation. I wonder if those who are resistant to it (not me!) is related to that. And then I wonder if those who are resistant to social media "addiction" are similar...
...but I'm resistant to social media addiction, and yet was a heroin addict for 6 years as a teen/young adult. So perhaps there's no correlation at all. I wonder if there are any academic papers exploring this?
