I was always shy around girls in school, but over time I developed a small confidence and became more social, however I still wasn't where I wanted to be. I became more extroverted and better with girls. Even though I was doing much better and socialising, I still had that shyness within. Masturbating & watching porn everyday made the problem worse, increasing social anxiety and always having the urge to masturbate which made me lose interest in real life interactions. I became so isolated all I was doing was staying at home and watching porn. When I started nofap within the first few days I would feel more energetic and excited about life. Because I don't have porn I began to crave real life interactions to get that pleasure & dopamine feeling. Over time this lead to me to approach women with no anxiety and be totally confident. I was amazed at the results, how abstaining from viewing damaging explicit sexual videos & masturbation can increase your motivation to confidently approach women. I have struggled with this addiction and always ended up relapsing. But within the streak and time doing nofap I always gained confidence and a huge decrease in social anxiety. What I have learned is that horniness = higher motivation
Well done man! I haven’t had as much luck because my biggest streak has only ever been 9 days, so the first few days for me never really feels any different because I’m so used to being between day 1-5, but I hope when I get a good streak I’ll feel some similar benefits.
My longest streak was only 2 weeks, but as I was a very heavy user the benefits for me kicked in very quickly. I was the same as you couldn't even get past the 5th day. What I learned is to always surround yourself with people and never stay alone because when your by yourself the temptation is much stronger. Instead of fapping I would release my sexual energy by exercising. Just keep on going you will make it
Hay... Just love your story & read what has improved for you after pmo & made you a more confident, empowered man!! & a happier person at that... That's amazing... Very proud of you...
