The Positivity Xperience

Why We Crave What We Can’t Have (and Why It Never Feels Like Enough)


Listen Later

Why do we obsess over what we don’t have — whether it’s a relationship, luxury item, social status, or someone else’s approval — only to feel empty once we finally get it? In this eye-opening episode of The Positivity Xperience, we break down the real psychology behind your cravings and the emotional traps that leave you chasing more but feeling less fulfilled.

You’ll learn how scarcity, social proof, and the dopamine chase drive your desires — and how to stop confusing temporary satisfaction for true fulfillment.

✨ In this episode, we’ll cover: ✅ The Scarcity Principle: why rare things seem more valuable ✅ How celebrity culture and social media fuel emotional lack ✅ Why the chase feels better than the reward ✅ The Hedonic Treadmill: why happiness fades after you get what you want ✅ How emotional wounds drive external seeking (and what to do about it)

💥 This episode is for you if: — You keep craving relationships with emotionally unavailable people. — You buy things hoping they’ll make you feel worthy. — You feel stuck in a cycle of wanting, getting, and feeling empty again. — You’re tired of your peace depending on what you have (or don’t).

🎧 Tune in now to shift from craving to clarity.
