There is zero dopamine to be extracted from anything anyone can say or do
I think at age 32 (and early part of 33) I got what last bit could be extracted from whatever that world was
At age 35, I now have a completely anhedonic identification with anything looks-related (as in beyond just recognizing the functional value of it, e.g. getting what you want by virtue of your looks), the things I hear or am praised for now legitimately have 0 effect on me and when someone says something about my appearance (not just about my face, but clothes too), I immediately try to change the topic
