Brain: Not until you do something worthy of it. Get off your ass and do something!
Me: okay, I'm doing stuff and trying to be productive, where's my dopamine?
Brain: what's dopamine?
You've got it the wrong way around. Dopamine is the motivation chemical. Serotonin is the satisfaction chemical. You need dopamine before you can do things, and doing things is how you get serotonin.
We see dopamines in rat brains when we give them treats, cause they're gaining motivation to solve more mazes and get more treats.
Me: alright let's get doing then! :)
Brain: lmao nah fuck you
This is a careful reminder to treat yourself well, or your subconscious will hate you... this includes how you think of yourself and the world over a longer period of time. Some patterns are hard to unlearn.
That's important advice.
Your subconscious treats you as you treat yourself, and as you treat others.
You know what it wants. Stop pretending!

Sincerely, the brain.
Try asking your somatic memory instead, it keeps a more accurate long-term record of emotions.
This is one of the reasons the "youre are your brain and you pilot your body like a meat mech" isnt really true. You have limited control over your brain. i have ADHD, i struggle constantly with my brain and usually refer to it like its a seperate human lol
You're your prefrontal cortex and you pilot the rest of your brain like a meat mech.
Its just meat mechs all the way down
"Capitalism and absent parents, lol"

Why not use the other, more fitting character in the comic?
Mental illness can affect anyone, including people you think have it all together.
True, true. Insightful. Thanks.
Yeah, the white straight hunk man with perfect beard has a lot to deal with. I wonder how he copes.
dude, we all have brains, even the most handsome of people have them you know
mental health issues don't discriminate. It's not to say other people don't struggle but it's not bloody pain olympics
But.. but.. ..they want to ride the hate train, and you're interfering with reason.
I literally said he has a lot to deal with. Learn to read.
