I know. I just associate ostentatious wealth/purchasing requiring such with the first world more. I’m not saying it’s correct, that’s just how my brain is wired 🤷🏻
you just needed your dopamine.
In my defense, my ADHD means that I’m starting at a significant deficit, so I need a bunch of hits to even arrive at the levels neurotypicals wake up at 🤷🏻
It’s equally weird to interpret the second part as an aggressive complaint that the other user wanted dopamine by writing the comment, no? I feel like that aggressiveness is unfounded.
I get what you mean. I usually try to assume good intent when I can, and there really wasn’t any reason for someone to be aggressive here. If it was the intent, it really came out of the blue.
My problem is that I literally can’t see a well-intended reading of it. “even if someone is in a 3rd world country they still need their dopamine” is not a reading of their comment that makes any sense to me even after it’s been pointed out as a possibility, and it certainly isn’t one I could come to myself.
Neither of us were to have known this at the time, but their other two (more recent) comments in this thread have also been, to put it mildly, quite curt. Which retrospectively makes me feel like my interpretation was more accurate.

They were using 3rd person you as in, “even if someone is in a 3rd world country they still need their dopamine”. I think you misunderstood.
Are you sure? That’s definitely not how I read it, and even rereading it I struggle to see how it could work like that.

Fair enough 😁
ADHD isn’t the problem.
What do you mean?
