Hans de Vries Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 What's different in the brains of people who are high on sensation seeking vs average or low sensation seekers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuantumT Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 We are wired to fight to survive. To be aware of predators, conflicts and hidden dangers. That death lures around the corner. If you take all that away, and give a person a secure, comfortable life, the brain is missing something. The danger. So it seeks it. It's basic psychology.

Some people just enjoy it. Some people with a high response don’t enjoy it...and everything in between. But it’s the dopamine (and even adrenaline and cortisol) that drives essentially all of this.

iNow Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 There isn’t one simple answer in the way the OP suggests. My reply was overly snarky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
