    Only someone with anxiety can describe that feeling of heart racing, knots in stomach and no matter what you try to tell your mind that feeling just paralyzes you. Although I was well liked, did different jobs in public service, volunteered and constantly exposed myself I still would often have symptoms such as blushing around women, new people and authority figures such as supervisors. With great help from a Life Coach (she lives in Serbia, we meet by Skype, a lot cheaper than U.S.A prices, please message me if you are interested) we discovered that I often felt inferior around just about everybody. Even the homeless man asking me for money on the subway would cause anxiety. Could it be possible I felt inferior to a homeless man? What we finally discovered is I felt inferior due to being short. I had no idea this was the cause for all my anxiety. Being short made me feel like a small person, it made me feel not masculine. Around women I would want their approval to prove I was masculine but when it came time to make a move I could never do it because I did not believe I was masculine enough to do so. Once my life coach told me "there is no logical reason to feel inferior to being short" everything changed. Those anxiety feelings just stopped, I no longer lust after and women or value their validation because I know I am enough. I don't need women's approval to see myself as masculine and it is a great feeling.

    I discovered NoFap 5 years ago. During the streak I hit an high of 180 days but have had many weekly and monthly streaks throughout. Nofap is great because there is no brain fog and you have so much energy. I entered hobbies such as working out, karate, meditation, public speaking and much more. In 5 years I switched jobs 3 times and finally have my dream and job. I can credit nofap for a lot of that. When I do fap now the brain fog will cause me to lose motivation for at least a full day. But nofap isn't an end-all, if you have anxiety, NoFap isn't going to completely cure it. Find a life coach (again message me for recommendation) or therapist. My life coach said usually it is just one thing that causes so many problems and once you fix that one thing you will be free. But it really does take time and effort to find it.

    Would you say that the porn somewhat caused your social anxiety and that your 180 day streak helped?

    I Quit Porn years ago, If I do MO it is through imagination. But MO does create a brain fog that creates anxiety, you do not have any mojo or energy
