Have you ever noticed how when you find something you like or you have fun with, you eventually get used and it gets dull? Have you noticed around the day, that your life feels "mundane" or boring?
So well, this is a neurological phenomenon: Hedonic adaptation and tolerance.

Basically, our brain adapts do anything. A man 10000 years ago was not more bored than us, even he had no phone or not real entertainment. We can adapt to anything, even to sex. So basically, the total count of pleasure minus pain in our life is 0. There is no such thing as being happy neurologically.
You can try to quit videogames, porn, drugs... That might give you a little bit of pleasure though. Why? Because when you do something stimulating like, lets say videogames, you are physically releasing hormones in your brain that connect to other braincells receptors. As said, the brain adapts to anything, so videogames can get as dull as reading a book, with the difference that when your brain adapts to a stimuli, this means, the brain remove receptors to compensate the stimuli, causing you to feel less pleasure than before the adaptation. Less receptors in the brain of pleasure=less pleasure. So by stimulating your brain with drugs or videogames/music/whatever stimulates you, you are essentially removing pleasure receptors, causing you to be more depressed.
But even if you quit everything, dont think you will be happy. Yes a little more, but if you suffer stress in your slavejob, you will still have probably more pain than pleasure everyday. If you are aspie loner, even doing this wont be enough as you require social stimulus to keep your pleasure centers of your brain healthy. And even if you are a chad, you will die, probably with something very painful like a cancer, heart attack etc. So life is shit. Is more pain than pleasure.
