So, I saw something on the discovery channel about adrenaline junkies being addicted to dopamine and that people who need crazy stuff in their life generally have a lower amount of dopamine in their system at any given point.
Understood. Now I'm reading an article about how introverts are overly sensitive to dopamine and don't like the adrenaline rush.
When I look at my ski/snowboard world friends, there are more introverts compared to extroverts than there are in other groups of people that I know. In Mammoth I'd go as far to say that 1/3rd of the people I knew there could be considered introverts... in LA/OC I'd say 1/10 maybe.
I'm a total introvert, but I LOVE cliff jumping and skiing and roller coasters and haunted houses and all that sort of stuff.
Is this the same for anyone else? Do you know more introverts in the ski world than outside of the ski world?
