    is this because of my porn addiction?
    i am anti social. i mean in the job that i have, i see my co workers laughing, having fun, hanging out, but i would stay away, because i know i dont have any story to share. i know i cant open my mouth, specially to hot girls. so most of the time i am left alone. hang out in the sleeping quarters.
    are these things happening because of my porn addiction?
    can i be able to have fun like them people with nofap?

  2. It's hard to say for sure, but definitely possible that your addiction is causing that. You'll just have to see for yourself. When I finally made it to 30 days hard mode, I noticed a huge difference in this area. I use to hate small talk, but when I got to 30 days, I actually started to enjoy "pointless" conversation. My confidence around women was also better. However, I ended up relapsing and now I'm insecure and I hate small talk again.

    Why dont form a habit of talking casually with a friend or family member its just that sometimes we form a bubble which we dont want to break but sooner or later we will have to so why not now start with small talks about common interest topic or anything else thats current affair or you happen to know about.

    You’re not anti-social, you have social anxiety. Nofap may help, since you value your computer time more than time spent with people or with yourself. Try to reduce computer and social media time and I believe you’ll bounce back :)

    It happens to me most of the time... one moment im happy and have confidence due to my streak then afterwards i would relapse and lose confidence and everything.

    Pornography is probably not the entire cause of your anti-social feelings but it will definitely help augment it and continue to make you feel bad.
    In my case, I went from having a slight social-phobia from my late teens up to my mid-20's but after that point, I became more comfortable, confident and skilled in most social situations. It takes a lot of practice to change these existing paradigms in your subconscious mind so the only way to overcome it is to face these situations head-first.
    Part of my social anxiety was probably due to pornography and having been bullied and neglected several times during my childhood and adolescent years. It took me over an entire decade to set things straight and the NoFap--hard mode has definitely helped increasing my confidence and social skills.
