Loneliness - How and Where to Meet New People?

This is a positive development. Keep it going with your streak. As for meeting people, just get out there more and interact with people without any expectations or agendas. Don't try to "get a girlfriend" or whatever, just generally socialize and keep things open for possible developments. Some possibilities are: take a class at the local community college, join a book club, volunteer somewhere, start doing some outdoor sports, go to a museum. I would advise against going to bars/clubs for this kind of thing - they're loud and people are drunk and stupid there.

When you're talking with people, don't try to impress them with your life or whatever, just take a genuine interest in them and what they're doing. Maybe you'll find a shared interest and you can talk about that, see where it leads. Maybe you'll make a new friend, or even a girlfriend, or maybe not. Don't put too much stock in any single interaction with anyone. Just spend more time getting comfortable talking to other people and when you hit dead-end conversations (happens to everyone) just move on with a smile and keep building experience socializing.

 

I noticed the same thing too when I stopped watching porn. Lmao, I never cared about having friends or a girlfriend for that matter until I started NoFap. It's biologically healthy for anyone to want to be around someone, anyways. I have the same loneliness issue too. Keep going, man. Keep up the good fight!

 

Porn makes us oblivious to our problems in life. That desire and that fire you have inside you is healthy, bro. That's masculinity. You're never settling for less and you want an intimate relationship with a beautiful woman. Don't give up. Your life is a gift.

 

At least people didn't laugh at you for being a virgin. That's what happened at the community college I went to. You know how to make a good circle of friends. I think as long you continue to do NoFap and surround yourself with positive people, you're going to do great.

 

this seems real... i was hiking in the mountain the other day and i started chatting with a random dude, who was not harassing me, he was just liked talking, and so do i. it's easier with people that are by themselves though... i find it harder to socialize with people that are already in a group.
