What’s my favorite high?!
non-drug
Aight imma head out
Wait but… what do I do with all my notes?
Fresh clear water when you’re alarmingly thirsty.
Its like wine on your wedding dayyyyy
Being of use to someone else - something as simple as opening a door or something as hard as helping someone change a tire on the road. That karma is like a hit of the stuff I don’t do anymore.
Having a really good piss
I once heard this one from an Italian and didn’t understand it until I experienced it … a big heavy pasta meal in the evening, then strong espresso coffee in the morning, then have the most massive #2 happen all at once as quickly as possible. This only happens if you keep up a healthy diet, plenty of exercise and everything is working just right. It’s disgusting to talk about and describe but absolutely refreshing and even invigorating to pass that much material from your body.
I wonder how many people were actually “activated” that way ha
The goosebumps you get from that part of a song
Can’t believe no one has said “flow state” yet.
I wait tables, and I’m damn good at it. When everything goes just right on a really busy shift, it’s common for experienced waitresses to hit flow state and it’s one of many addictive patterns that keeps people, especially people with ADHD, in this job.
For those unfamiliar, flow state is a qualitative shift in consciousness that increases awareness of task-related stimuli and decreased awareness of irrelevant stimuli while speeding up reaction time, draining away uncertainty, and making every small success feel like it’s propelling you forward. It’s got some of the energy of an adrenaline rush without the comedown — flow state gracefully fades out without a crash. It’s like you just became more efficient, everything you need is right to hand, and triaging and prioritizing the subtasks in front of you becomes effortless.
It is the second-best part of my job, even better than the feeling of genuinely helping people.
Excuse me for my English. Approximately one and one half meters. Smaller highs are very ordinary but higher highs scare me
Feeling loved and appriciated.
Being locked-in nerding out doing technical stuff
Also, hot bath in cold weather
Generosity. The warm fuzzy tingly cozy sensation I get when I help a friend out, or even the occasional stranger, with getting a ride, or a meal, or taking the edge off an emergency expense, it never gets old.
Unfortunately not in a position to do that right now. I’m accumulating an emergency fund for making some bigger moves later…
Like, have you ever gone on a sugar fast for a couple days then drank some fruit juice? That shit hits HARD.
Hyperfixation, where you watch a really good movie or read a really good book and it starts to color everything around you
When someone I’ve gifted food to sends me a message later in the day telling me the food, bread, whatever was sensational. It tells me that I’ve nailed their food preferences and tastes. I’ve done a good job.
Food is my love language and it’s how I like to say thank you and show appreciation.
Tasty cold beverage after long physical activity (day hiking or biking)
