It is an extinction burst! You went beyond the social science in your astute analysis. It makes sense. And they are so pathetic.
An extinction burst is a temporary increase in the frequency, intensity, or duration of a behavior when reinforcement for that behavior is withdrawn. It's a common phenomenon observed when using extinction procedures, where a behavior that was previously rewarded is no longer reinforced. Essentially, the individual initially tries harder to get the desired outcome before the behavior eventually decreases and disappears.
Like when the “play” button doesn’t play, I hit it again and again, finishing which a burst of quick, even aggressive, pushes.

I didn't know the name of the phenomenon, but that makes sense. I am definitely guilty. ;)

Beautiful writing! Growth and discomfort resonated with me. I teach high school English, and we are fighting the fear of discomfort, change, growth.
