    Have the same struggle with this one missing girl in ma life and this is why porn is shit (it does u think u have a harem), it make most of us shy. I do not look bad, I look good but because I was shy and now still a bit shy I had no chance by good looking girls, because they want alphas also most of them

    This is like saying because I lack a muscular body I'm addicted to junk food and binge watching television.

    You lack a girlfriend because you're not dealing with the problem. You're not putting yourself out there, making mistakes, learning, meeting new people, contributing in communities, trying new things, exploring interests, failing, developing skills, getting rejected, etc. You're not willing to face the awkward, messy, unideal, uncomfortable, and uncertain reality. You're not willing to deal with short term pain to attain long term achievements. You value protecting your fragile emotions over developing some real in your life.

    Porn is all about easy, guaranteed, and certain instant gratification. It's mediocre, passive, comfortable, and lazy. It doesn't require any risks. There's no immediate possibility of pain, problems, and negative experiences (until your life is ruined in the long run).

    So... no. It's not the lack of a girlfriend. It's your choice to escape your problems to make yourself feel good in the moment while sacrificing the development of your reality. It's your own fault. People who can't admit that and take responsibility won't get very far in life. Instead they will blame this, that, and everything other than themselves for why their life turned to shit.
     
  8. Honestly i used to feel the same way, but than i realized i pmo because i am unhappy with life, and when i started bettering myself i stopped needing those things, even my strong desire for a gf went away, if you love life and you are honest with yourself, you wont need to make excuses i think.

    As true as it feels to you this is not always the case. I was in a long term relationship with a man who was addicted to P and M before we met. He did stop for awhile but the M never slowed down. He maintained 3-5 times a day M. Soon this led to relapsing on P and hiding it from me for years. He ended up damaging our relationship by all the distance, lies, and deception he used to hide it.

    I have felt so unattractive emotionally distant that I also started to use P and M. Mostly from lack of real experience, lack of self image, and too much loyalty to cheat on him. As the partner of someone who used this exact mentality I will tell you...my presence did not help his addiction. On top of that what his addiction did to my self worth was horrifying.

    Put simply, you need to work on you before you can truly work together with a partner. If you don't you could continue perpetuating your problem and seriously hurt the other person.

    First, thumb up for the cold shower and living vegan, Just realize that you do mother nature a great favor, so give AND receive gratitude.

    Yes, I feel ya as I have sort of the same problem, but our views are different.

    The thing different between you and someone who has what you want to have is that

    1. His thoughts & mindset are optimized for what he wants in his life, (Like being maskulin, attractive to woman, speaking to strangers)
    Affirmationen are great to change your beliefs and also thinking about the reason you have them.

    2. He takes action

    3. He is aware that he already has it.
    It's just another thought, like your picture about yourself.

    What I can recommend is that you try to see life playful, seeing it as some kind of game, other people are your felllw players and your skills get experience ever time you make use of them.
    Most are obvious to the fact that only THEY themself are the player of their life.
    They feel like the victim, not the cause which is fundamentally wrong.

    Like if you speak to a stranger your social skill increases. Because life is just like that, it's a big game and we can change our character the way we want.

    Also, be just you and do not, in any ways, mask yourself with something you are not. While the quote "Fake it till you make it" is in some scenarios true, its definitly not while making friends or having conversation with other people.
    Talk about what you like and sooner or later people with the same thoughts will keep you company.

    Love for yourself is a key skill, a great practice is looking in the mirror and to say "I love you/myself". At the beginning it may feel akward but it will increase your skill, if you do it consistently.

    I also recommend the Spiritual teachers and philosophs Alan Watts & Eckhart Tolle, the teaching of them both has helped me a lot.
    Especially Eckharts Book "The Power of Now" helped thousend to millions of people.

    Satisfaction is a huge topic too, do you have goals? A purpose? Steps defined to reach your Goals?
    In being present can also be found huge satisfaction, as you don't think all the time about useless and harming thoughts.

    Hope that I could provide useful information, truly helping you can only yourself do.

    First : Great that you decided to go vegan for 6 months.
    Second : The most important thing is to inform yourself and than stop worry because there is no reason to if you eat whole plant based. Vitamin D is smth that everyone has problems with, if they do not live in sunny countrys like Jamaika.
    Third: I recommend to take Vitamin B12 to everyone, animals before slaugthered too get vitamin supplements so that the Industry can say that its rich of vitamins.
    Forth: Dairy has a lot of estrogen which fucks with your body, soy protects your body to too much estrogen. Also, fking oat"milk" is so delicious in comparison to dairy. Or even coconut, almond or hazelnut "milk"
    Fifth: you're right it is disgusting how they treat the animals but where is the difference between a cow and chicken/fish? Right. There is none.

    Everyone : Living vegan is truly no problem and great for health both mental and physical but please do the work and research like 1 hour on how to do it right. It does not need longer than one hour learning. Or just download Dr. michael gregers Daily dozen app and eat what he recommends. Just eat it and feel for yourself. If you have some problems, than please use the internet, there are tons of videos to tons of questions/ problems.
     
  15. I see that as nothing else, but more reasons for you to quit porn ....

    I can't give you as many tips as many guys did here, all i do know is if you pity yourself, you'll get nowhere. Get serious, you have reasons to quit, its all up to you.

    PMO because of being single may be true but not always true. I remember thinking like that. After being in a relationship the problem still continued. And I fear the problem can persist even after marriage

    Here’s the thing - fuck everything, fuck what others think about me, I’m skinny fat or belly fat, fuck every opinion which makes me feel bad, we are all going to die anyway, with athletic bodys or fat bodys, tough guy personalities or shy kid personalities, just work for what you want to change, is it your body or mentally, doesn’t matter, just work hard, suffer and chase your dream, don’t be lazy comfort guy who allways crys coz of his life. If you want something just do it anyway. Quit porn, masturbation and even thinking about girls. masturbation drains your motivation, energy, confidence and even physical functions, it kills everything which makes us live a life. Change your life step by step, start learning martial arts or just a fitness gym or whatever you want to do, just leave your comfort zone, remember, a calm sea doesn’t make a skilled sailor, you should realize that, you should willing to die for your dream and do not masturbate anymore, when you’re about to quit and relapse remember why you started

    Hi bro, that is just your starting point. There is an upside to being shy and lightweight. You can change slowly. When you kick PMO and start to feel more confident, the good habits you make will last a lifetime. Keep all the sensitivity and softness (inside) and build up the willpower to be a stand up guy. I can be done. You are on the way. Get an accountability partner!

    Brilliant!.""....is like taking pain killers while you have an arrow in your leg...lol...I luv that.
    And also equating porn&fapping with drugs...fantastic! Thanks man.
     
  20. Well, it does pretty much the same thing to your brain as taking heroin, alcohol, cigarettes, or any other recreational drug. The biological details, of course, differ. The good news is that porn & masturbation doesn't damage your other organs as do drugs, so it's easier to stop and quicker to recover.

    The only things that make it hard are the initial dopamine recovery in the first few months while your brain is restoring its neurons, and the false belief that porn & masturbation make things better. That's also true of recreational drugs, but drugs come with extra physical problems.
