    Oh man!!! I am dying!!! I got severe social anxiety. I cant even say hi to a girl or even a guy on the streets. I barely went out from my home. All the day i spent in my home. I cant even make wye contact with people. This just make my life horrible ...

    Does nofap really help? I was a serious fapper back days. And i think fapping to porn really messed up my brain.

    Bro, it helped me A LOT. Five or so years ago I was scared of going outside because I felt like everyone was looking at me, jugding. I used to PMO at least twice a day. Since then Ive had several good streaks, and even when I'm back at the habit I don't do it daily anymore.

    This with other changes in life have made that social anxiety decrease a lot, and when I'm in a long streak completely disappears. You have nothing to lose to try NoFap and see if it helps you

    My longest streak ever was 200+ days, any reduction on the frequency will help you, but if you remove PMO completely you will see great results. Try to replace the habit with something else, you'll reach a point when you'll have a lot of energy, working out works wonders on NoFap.

    Those 'people' who work in the 'sexual advise' are all pawns of the elites, who want to have good little docile slaves, thus promoting pornography. The same kind of people been telling us for decades that smoking is harmless and actually good for health. All liars. There is no moderation for an addict, it's like smoking in moderation, if previously you used to smoke pack a day. You will be back at pack a day regardless of your intention, because addiction overrides logic, always.

    For OP, I strongly recommend proper hard mode nofap for the minimum of 90 days and see for yourself. You will feel like utter crap, but it will pass and you will see the glory that you actually possess in due time.
    It helped me progress from a whimp, who was afraid of going shopping because of so many strangers to current me who can strike up conversations with anyone, should I want to.

    If you are not addicted to porn, then it might be beneficial, I don't know. But for an addict chaser effect is more dangerous that anything, it can swiftly put you back on binge watching digital tits and asses. Plus what is the point of jerking off? Just to feel warm fuzzies for several seconds and make yourself weaker, more vulnerable to full blown relapse by doing that? To escape life difficult life situation by tranquilizing yourself with masturbation? Is not worth it, at least without a full blown hard mode reboot.

    There is no such thing as social anxiety. What you have is agoraphobia which has most likely been brought upon by staying at home too long. You just need to go outside more, not necessarily talk to people, just get comfortable with being in other places. You see it's not the interaction with women you fear, it's the environment where the interaction takes place. Now I dont know everything about you, nor claim to but you said you're addicted to staying at home. Well, that suggests agoraphobia.

    Hello Friend! I have had the same issue for over 10 years. I struggle every day with being self-centered when I go to the city, and it seems to me that people find me and evaluate me, because of this, I have terrible anxiety all the time. I'm tired of living like this. I've been a porn addict for over 15 years and I'm very poorly socialized. I go to a psychologist, but it doesn’t help me yet, because I think that the problem is in the brain itself, namely addiction to porn. Those who notice this, that it is always extreme, constantly watch themselves, it interferes ...

    Sorry for my English, I'm usually a translator...

    Dear! I have been uncomfortable in society for over ten years. I go out every day, I go to the stores, I visit my parents, I go shopping, but I feel constantly stuck, I lack ease, I am tense. For example, I walk down the street and am constantly correcting my gait, because it seems to be like a "robot", my body movements are unnatural (body intelligence is bad). When I walk, I always feel that people are looking at me, that I am something different, and really because of these thoughts, people see that I am tense and uptight. At the same time, my height 183 centimeters and weigh 80 kg, I look good and such a paradox all my life :))) Most of the time, people don't look, but the brain falsely thinks that you are the center of the world and all attention is focused on yourself, in fact it is not, because all people are busy with their own problems and they don't care about us. I don't know what happened, but at a certain point there was a glitch in my brain and it became my routine. I've been experiencing these problems every day for almost my entire conscious age. I'm 30 now. I'm pretty sure the problem stemmed from a severe addiction to porn and computer games. For too many years we sat around and jerked off without developing any real life. I believe dopamine is involved here as a way of dealing with this problem in the future. In parallel, you need to exercise regularly and get a little pain to harden your body and brain. Personally, psychologists can't help me, this thing doesn't go away for me. At the same time, they consider me a completely adequate personality without mental disorders. It's called an anxiety disorder, but the emotional problem has grown out of addiction and a broken pleasure center. Abstinence should alleviate these anxiety symptoms so that social interactions with people will be possible in the future.
