    I'm kinda new to noFap and I've been really rather hostile towards the community in the past. But because I'm suffering from things like anxiety, depression and low self-esteem, which noFap claims to be able to tackle, I am still curious about it.

    However, one big problem I have with abstaining from porn and masturbation, aside from it being my only mental high, is that they're a good low-energy boredom activity.
    You may know what I mean. You're bored but you're also too tired and sluggish to do anything productive that would require thinking. So you watch porn and fap.

    Any tips as to how to overcome the urge to just kill time with masturbation when you can't be bothered to do anything else?

    Boredom is my problem as well, and I'm in the same position as you where I know I should be doing better things (like learning a language )but I can't bring myself to put in the effort.

    I am not aware that NoFap has made any such claim! Evidently, you suffer from anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. It is likely the case that these mental health issues are unrelated to your addiction or, at least, not caused by it. Taking up the NoFap challenge will ultimately reset your brain's reward circuitry. That does not make it a cure-all.
