It doesn’t help matters that hits of social grooming via our phones release dopamine in our brains , activating our pleasure/reward system. 
“When I spoke with psycologist Elizabeth Waterman, who specializes in these addictions, she told me, 
“We are simply hard-wired to share for our own survival”. And the more we share, the better we feel-in the short term at least: 
“The reward system in the brain light up when we know that information of ours has been shared with a few”. The primate’s chest pumps up as it grooms an entire crowd. Who on Twitter hasn’t felt that jolt of dopamine when an expertly “offhand” remark get multiple retweets?

Tellingly, our digital desires are focused almost exclusively on the social. Waterman told me that it’s mostly social media apps that leave people at risk for addiction.

• I spoke with pyschologist= Psychologist  was spoke with me
