One Full Year (12 months) Long Post

Thanks for the powerful sharing. All my sufferings are in your post. From anxiety, bad relationships, not being able to have a stable eye contact, etc. You are a big inspiration to me.
I quoted my favourite part and the one i feel most revolutionary. Maybe you already know, or maybe not.. what you said is considered one of the most powerful spiritual practice by many many people, called mindfullness meditation. Finding this in your post is like a strong quality sign, an enlightening quote. You made me shiver, man (is it right in english language?) and i think you have given a surprisingly transformative tool to the community. This post is a must-read for any fapstronaut and a beautiful gift!

 

Great post man...Very inspiring..
Iam on day 27 of nofap and facing Severe panic attacks and social anxiety as withdrawal..When can I see some improvements interms of anxiety?

 

You are such an inspiration to me and I hope in coming days I too reach one year mark...Iam aware that this journey will be not easy and I have to go through a roller coaster....I have many solid reasons why I should stop jerking off so Iam determined this time and need your help...

 

thank you for sharing this story and wisdom. Really good to read it.

 

that was fucking inspirational man!

 

Remind me the fights I had to put to get 100+ streak.

 

hope in a years time I can also be in your position! well done bro! keep it up

 

Well done man and thank you for the inspiration. 2018 was like a dry run with nofap for me, but I hadn't been able to shake it off completely. Your post inspired me to make 2019 the year that I shake it off with all the knowledge I have gained

 

Why is agressiveness a bad thing? I always want to be more aggressive in many aspects like dating and my career. I believe my heavy PMO use has brought me to the ‘nice shy guy’ category. I lost many opportunities just because I am shy and I am scared of failing at anything. So often I would just stay away from many things, such as competitive job hunting and approaching hot girls. I had an opportunity where a cute girl took the step and gave me her number but I was too scared to text her, thinking that she might be promiscuous or she was up to no good. This has also affected my financial situation, instead of aggressively thinking how can I earn more, I settle with salary as an office clerk for mundane stupid repetitive job and cut cost defensively. I am already 47 days into nofap but the flatline took away many apparent benefits that I had in the first two to three weeks. I don’t know if nofap will eventually give me superpowers but if there is one thing that I really want from nofap is to become more aggressive like a grown man and not a sissy nor a kid.

 

@Phantompoint
There is a difference between being assertive and aggressive.
Being assertive is like a natural confidence and authority in a situation. It allows you to speak your truth and challenge others if necessary. Being aggressive is more like attacking somebody to get what you want without respecting their dignity. It can be motivated by fear and insecurity.

Any virtue is a middle point between two extremes. It can be lost because of an excess or a lack of a quality. Being weak or fainthearted (sissy) is a lack of assertiveness. But being aggressive is an excess of assertiveness. It's great that you don't want to be sissy but don't go to the other extreme.

 

Did you experience depression,anxiety,panic attacks during first 3 months?I read all those sucesfull streaks and it makes me feel hopeless when there are guys at same days feeling all of nofap benefits.
