Insane flatline...or have I rebooted?

    Been going through a really extreme flatline for 3-4 weeks now and i'm not sure how I feel about it.

    I am no longer attracted to women; not sexually, not romantically, not socially. No attraction whatsover. I don't feel depressed at the moment or anything like that but do have a lack of energy past week or so. Also really aggressive and short tempered. Before nofap I was always known as the laid back, chill guy but now I'm almost bipolar with crazy moodswings.

    I can go on instagram and look at 10/10 models half naked and not feeling anything. I went on tinder (just a one-off occasion) and saw some girls' profiles on there, who in the past i'd be wanting to bust a nut over, and now I feel zero attraction. Swipe left. Every single profile. Delete app.
    I go out in public, used to always be on the lookout for females (in a really non-perverted way) and now the thought of women doesn't even enter my mind.
    I am also confident I could go and watch some porn and not be aroused at all. In fact, pornstars who I used to dig now seem really meh.

    Is this what rebooting is like? Where you no longer feel attraction or arousal based on appearances alone? Will it take 'getting to know' someone before I actually feel something? Or is this just an extreme flatline?

    I started nofap to try and get a girlfriend but now I am no longer interested in females looool I hope this is not a permanent thing because I miss those urges tbh

    Sounds like withdrawal/flatline to me.

    Especially this part:
    Having a very short fuse, being irritable is very common during withdrawal. Also the part of feeling no attraction in combination with having no energy fits perfectly. Don't give in to porn whatever happens.

    Your brain may make you think things like "It's not worth it anyway" or "It doenst work, so I could watch porn anyway."

    It's a trap. Do anything. Go out with friends and have a beer, go to the gym, watch TV, play a game, sleep. But don't watch porn and in best case dont masturbate.

    Youll be surprised how ur *interest* in females isn't what u think it is. Often times addicts in PMO can only conceptualize a girlfriend that serves there addiction in some way, therefore that is not interest but another form of addiction.

    This flat line will do u good in teaching u what real healthy attraction and interest really is.

    It is empowering and will change ur outlook if u so manage to make it there.

    Best
