    ... on Nofap since One year... had decent streaks...131, 57 , 33 , 24... and numerous 15-20 days streak.... currently on 27th day...... since 5-7 days... I feel like my anxiety has increased.... I am not able to look people in eye.. and always focus on myself..like how I am standing, how i am reacting , etc....

    The only advice I can give you try meditation & one thing just think that if you like at people's eye they not going to kill for that don't know if I help but act like you never been on pmo before cheers mate

    Hey man, I've always been socially anxious, it's always lingered but for the past 4 years (24 now) it's got super intense, to the point where I get it around friends and family... With every streak I've done my anxiety has gradually gotten worse with every relapse, I think we could potentially put this down to the effect of 'kindling' which basically makes withdrawal symptoms more intense (anxiety being one) with every relapse.

    I find my social anxiety begins to decrease as my streak gets longer however with each relapse, the anxiety intensifies and takes longer to decrease. For example I am over two months into my current streak and my anxiety is super intense. Prior to my previous relapse where I was 5 months+ into a streak, my social anxiety levels were really good and definitely improving

    It does decrease with time, but im still not a fan of looking random people in the eyes...
    It's a process, it takes time
