    Hello all!

    I'd like to talk about my goal to be more gentle towards myself. For years and years since I was very young, I got used to beating myself up with hate. Whenever I go to a party/social setting, I'm constantly seeking approval from other people in my mind. If others reacted differently to what I expect them to, I would think too much. Lately, I've been realizing that I'm capable of loving myself and a great self-esteem. I'm slowly realizing that the more I gain my senses back because of Nofap, the more I am able to feel. Before, I was really depressed but now I feel that I NEED to do the things that will make me smart, do good in University, and just be present. I found a reason to my sufferring.


    As Viktor Frankl would say "If someone says 'I don't expect anything from life anymore', what will one say to that?".

    I had to bring my own why and that suffering is always worth it. We need to take it head on and the more we do, the more we train our willpower. Whenever your mind tells you to go back to your own ways, think of the beautiful future ahead of you. I learned that I do deserve a good life, I do deserve to work hard for riches, wealth, love, and a place in the world to responsible.

    When I talk to men and women, I am more confident in my approaches. But however, I need to change this habit. I ALWAYS compare myself to other people. I'm 5ft3 and I'm short, I go to the gym but I am always self conscious to the fact that there are people who laugh at my height. Wondering why I go to the gym, I'm a "manlet" acocrding to them. However, I'm trying to build my confidence because the reason why I'm going to the gym is because of me. There will never be the same genetic make up as me or anyone else. But the reason why it's hard to remove this habit is because all my life, I compared myself to others. But someday, I will be able to breathe and let these thoughts just pass by.

    Thank you for all of your support! And I am slowly loving myself more.
