    hi everyone, I'm a 20 year old dude with social anxiety problems and I'm addicted to PMO.I've been addicted since I was 12 and have been trying to quit since 2015, never have I made it past 40 days. I've been struggling with life since I started trying to quit, after reading other people's situations here I've come to realize that I'm not severely addicted like others and I thank myself for discovering nofap as early as I did cause PMO is really bad.So the reason for this post is to
    1. help myself in terms of simply writing down my thoughts
    2. look for people like me from my country and hopefully be accountability partners.
    So while writing this I've relapsed a couple hours ago because I was depressed with how my life is, I don't blame it all on PMO though and I use porn as an emotional escape most of the time which I need to fix. I noticed that I can't MO without watching porn first and porn for me is really hard to stop watching these past couple of months.
    I have a problem with girls, I've never had a GF or had sex its embarrassing sometimes and I feel jealous when I see people loving each other, having fun and I'm just there all alone till jealous turns into guilt shame and depression to the point where I simply want to die not only because of how messed up I am but how I just can't achieve anything really. Recently I was at this house party and I got really drunk just to see/know how it feels like and I didn't understand it because I kept thinking about me, I kept thinking about how ugly people say I am and ended up being alone there and I didn't enjoy anything there. Everyone around me was winning while I was losing, I didn't finish high school, I don't have a job but I do have dreams but obviously they need money to happen along with a couple of business ideas I got only if I can get a bit of capital to start. I wanna improve my life as much as I can, I'm willing to do anything I can to be a better me.
    For anybody who is interested to meet in person/talk online or something I live in Zimbabwe, Harare and you can send me a message here on this site
    *sorry this post is all over the place, I'm just typing things off my brain really. If you wanna give me advice or anything I would really appreciate it thank you guys

    You are in the right place!

    Here, you will find thousands of guys just like you.

    That is why I keep coming back to NoFap.

    After PMO binges, I've felt like the worst person in the world.

    Then, I find on NoFap that I'm not the only one, and I'm not alone.


    I see in your post that you are very self-aware.

    You already understand the nature of your problem.

    At root, we use porn as a substitute for real sexual encounters.

    That seems needed because we either can't get a partner, or lack needed confidence.

    You understand that you also use porn to escape, and it is a fantasy world far from the difficult realities of life.


    Don't feel inadequate because you haven't had a GF.

    You are very young, and you haven't had many years yet when that could have happened.

    In my opinion, there has been too much pressure in recent generations, including my own, to start sexual activity early.

    I say that as an older person who is far removed from all that, but remember I too was once young and frustrated.


    (I laugh a little when I read about how you got drunk.)

    (That was just your youthful curiosity.)

    (Now, you should know that alcohol isn't that great.)

    (I think it's awful!)


    You know what you need to do.

    PMO is not a moral problem.

    I reject most ideas about morality, whether religious or otherwise.

    Morality is just a system of absolute rules to keep people from making the gods mad or from offending other people's opinions.

    PMO is a problem because it depletes and debilitates us.

    We are quitting this because we want to conserve our energies and maximize our vitality as human beings.

    Once you have a few days without PMO, you will notice the change beginning to happen within yourself.

    Then, you will have the energy and vision to accomplish everything else you say you want.

    i also had similar problems..i couldn't even smile at a person i randomly met and become nervous on seeing the relatives that i could not behave properly and my conversations get awkward and some of them shows sympathy while the others cruelly ignore me..later after completing the 1yr nofap journey i understood some facts regarding this which is really changing my life in a positive way
    TIP 1 : social anxiety becomes a 'real' problem when u take it as a serious issue..if u become overconscious about this problem, it will destroy u..in almost 90% cases, the social anxiety is a temporary condition and it can be eliminated as simple as pricking a flower

    TIP 2 : if u want to change, it's easy..just go out for a walk or a bike ride every day.."but the purpose of going out should not be minding the people outside, u 'should not' mind anyone nor talk talk with any one, just focus on the ride.."try chewing bubble gum while going out, it will increase ur confidence"..i guarantee

    TIP 3 : Understand the fact that every single human in this planet has some sort of social anxiety and fears..if u see the 'casual' interviews of celebrities or great leaders, they reveal it..u can see many of them have the problems that u and i face and they don't care or bother about their mistakes

    TIP 4 :[ MOST IMPORTANT ] THIS TIP MAGICALLY CHANGED MY DAY TO DAY LIFE AND BOOSTED THE CONFIDENCE 10x ... "LAUGHTER EXERCISE" ..CREATE AN ARTIFICIAL LAUGHTER WHENEVER U ARE FREE AND PRACTICE IT FREQUENTLY..TRUST ME IT WILL SOLVE ALL THE DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY ISSUES AND REJUVENATE UR BRAIN..HERE U ARE ACTUALLY FOOLING UR BRAIN AND MAKING IT FEEL THAT YOU ARE HAPPY AND IT WILL MANIFEST IN YOUR REAL LIFE SITUATIONS..U WILL BEGIN TO TAKE EVERYTHING IN A POSITIVE FUNNY WAY AND BOOST UR SELF TO AN ALPHA LEVEL
