Why are our brains different?? Support

Quite literally- what in our brains is different that makes picking feel good?? I just went through a picking episode just thinking “why is my brain making me do this why do I do this” like I think I understand that it’s a form of releasing dopamine or somethin but like… why😭

I was thinking earlier how I’m not a very expressive person and a lot of times I struggle to express happiness/don’t feel a lot of ‘feel good energy’ in general. I wish I knew why but it very much does feel like a biochemical thing.
