The usual account says the good times are the reward, and you keep going back for them. That’s positive reinforcement, the mechanism behind chasing something pleasant. But relief isn’t a pleasant thing arriving. It’s an unpleasant thing stopping, which is a different process with a different name and different properties. Behavioral science calls it negative reinforcement, and it’s what trains avoidance rather than pursuit.

Why Were They So Good at First?
https://t.co/tYP48sK9sL
The person you’re waiting for isn’t late. They’re gone. The one who’s still in the house is the one who’s left, and no amount of being quieter or easier or better is going to trade one for the other.
Every year you spend at that window is a year nobody gives back to you.
