alone

Hi all, I don't know if I am posting this correctly or in the right forum, as I've never posted on this site before, but today I am looking for some advice. I'm reaching out to ask what people do to deal with being alone. For context, I left my home city to go to University, and I am currently...

I've felt terribly alone for the past 10+ years. I'm 45 years old now. I would have thought social media would have brought the 9 billion people on this planet closer together. However, there seems to be an epidemic of loneliness. There seems to be a lack of genuine interaction these days...

I'll start off by saying I've made improvements. I don't watch P anymore, and I'm not sending photos like I used to in chats. I had a good streak going and I've been dealing with loneliness better, but at night I feel awfully lonely and depressed. I hug and kiss my pillow at night, it's really...

This is now day 0. Today i relapsed and now want to blog daily about how it will go. I was able keeping a good distance of porn, but now just keep on relapsing. I was in such a dark time, and do not want to go back down this rabbithole of Lust and disturbing myself.

That sense of helplessness, this piercing feeling that sinks deep into the body once you find yourself in this situation. I know this feeling by heart, i've always been like this. If we haven't met before, i'm a person with less than a few friends. Ever since i was a child, i had problems with...

Its really difficult to stop something that you knowingly did for 15 years , i have never been in such a weird situation. Well got up today did my chores and slowly arose freaking urges which led me to use that chat app which i used to talk to girls around for sxting and met few of them and...

DOING NoFap SOLO IS CONSIDERED IMPOSSIBLE.I LIVE ALONE .FRIENDS LIVES FAR AWAY.I DONT GO OUT OF MY HOME.I AM NOT SAYING THAT I DONT GET URGES .I DO .BU I JUST THINK ABOUT THE PAIN THE PAIN OF DEFEAT THE PAIN OF JUST RUINING THE STREAK JUST FOR 30 SECONDS OF PLEASURE STAY STRONG .DONT BREAK...

I have been a social butterfly for as long as I could remember. However, there are two major problems with my relationships (both platonic and non-platonic). 1. None of my friendships are extended to after school settings. -> Over the past few years, I have moved nomadically from friend group...

Hi everyone. I am 26 years old and addicted to this since past 10 years. I was very addictive when i was in my teens and early 20's but i somehow managed to control it. Like, i used to do it twice or thrice everyday during my teens but now it's once or maybe twice a week. The goal now is to drop...

I have nobody in this personal war between porn and myself to back me up. It’s always just been me and me alone. Y’know one the reasons I joined this forum in the first place was to get an accountability parter but I never find anyone who’s in my age group (14-15). I walk my journey alone...

I am abstaining from PM. I have been doing well since joining NoFap 21 days ago, having stayed away from PM with relative ease since. However, I have been studying on my own today and the urges have been strong. I found myself searching for pictures of women on the internet, then, a few ours...

Hey there, I just relapsed this morning when I woke up horny, again. Maybe some of you guys can relate to it... That impulsive doing gave me no time to even think twice. I feel like I have no control over my mind, over my body. I really don't know what drives me to do it. I did not use porn to...

First of all, it's my personal opinion that society perpetuates the false idea that we need a romantic partner in order to be whole. The real question is, what's so dangerous about an independent, attractive (yes you reading this and me are attractive!), successful, confident, and intelligent...

Okay so the title says it all. After I got almost 2 months streak of no pmo, something was happening. It seems during this time a new addiction or source of dopamine will gradually kicks in. Yes that's true. I always find myself spending most of the day watching youtube. I feel ashamed about...

Since this whole lockdown started around March 15th I've been for the most part, single.. For the most part most nights i was keeping myself warm.. Now as the year is wrapping up im reflecting.. finding positives and negatives about spending this year alone.. A positive is i know more about who...

I don't know if this will help any guys out, but I want to share some experience. When I was divorced in 2017, I went through a lot of bitter loneliness. Trying to get a date was impossible. But what I started to realize was that I might be on my own for some time. If that was the case, I...

I am better alone and I don't need nobody to feel good. "But when you get to the "top" who'll be there to take a photo" Imma take a f*ing selfie. No, wait... I'm not going to even mention that I'm this high, that I feel this good. "Why?" Believe me... People can ruin everything you're...

‘If you are lonely when you are alone, you are in bad company’ by Jean-Paul Sartre. I’m holding on to this quote. There were times in my journey that I feel so lonely and those led me to a relapse. Usually I feel a certain kind of loneliness when I immediately wake up in the morning (like today...

I'm 30+ days gone, i need some support but no one seems to be around or bothered. I cant even flirt with women without being turned on, i havee fetishes of being used or dominated and i might tell a woman how im lucky to speak to her and she will agree and i feel like a little bitch and its a...

Guys, I'm on Day 24, and I guess many people did not experience a flatline! I'm very disturbed emotionally, I just hate everyone, everything. I can't explain my situation in words. I still stay strong and wanna motivate you guys that, still having zero urges towards porn and masturbation but the...

Hello, I discovered this site since december from last year. I'm addict to masturbation and now porn too, I just can't go to sleep without masturbate and end in orgasm. This is like 90% of all days. For months or almost a year I thouht I beat porn because I was able to not watch it, but...

It feels weird/shameful to me, admitting such a thing. Background: Grew up in the South, only child. Two parents and as I got older, a lot more time to myself...which led me to porn. Started at around 16, the usual stuff and it remained that way for a long time. I'm in my early 40's and now I...

I have been looking at porn and masterbating for over 19 years and doing it at least 8 hours a week it has consumed me and I recently started doing it more often. I’m going cold turkey I’m 39 years old and have to do this. Growing up whenever I was at home alone for days I would do it non stop...

The rate of suicide is highest in middle age white men. Men are 3 times more likely to commit suicide then women. The reason being that they have less social circles to reach out for support... ....and for having someone to listen and care. That's why it is important to surround yourself...

Since I was a child I have been facing sexual content. First I was forced to it through a neighbour of mine. Later I just seek it everywhere to reflect on all my emotions. In kindergarten two of my teachers abused me mentally after I had sexual exploration with a girlfriend of mine. The shame in...

There are actually only few things in life that leave a lasting mark on you. That you remember long after they happened. But they still feel like they just happened yesterday. And there is a quote I once read that perfectly encapsulates one of these moments for me. And it still moves me every...

I'm 21 still can't find someone who understands my feelings. I have a few friends but not any best friend. Why I get the feeling that no one understands me? Sometimes I feel like I want someone just to cuddle and talk my heart. I get compliments like that I try to make up with everyone and wanna...

I am new to admitting I have a problem with PM to my girlfriend. It has caused PIED for me since college days. I’m now 37, and the build up of shame about my porn habit has eaten me up inside. My girlfriend doesn’t want to have sex with me because she finds porn to be “disgusting...degrading to...

I observed something that really needs your advice. Over the past few months I fought this addiction and I'm pretty satisfied with the results. I went from a guy who PMOed at least once a day to one that can go weeks without it. But today i relapsed, and it made me think why. If I think about...

This is my first ever forum that I've joined. Porn has had a pretty nasty effect on my life and I absolutely cannot stop myself from using it. So I'm here and I need support. Since high school I've used porn and I've ventured into the deep depths of content just to get my fix. It's a sad...

Hello all, I present to you myself, my name is amine and I am from morrocco. I've benn watching porn since 14years and i've benn adicted to it. The reason I am here is because I wanna stop. Why ? Because of the huge physical fatigue that comes with it (I already have a chronicle fatigue and some...

I try to be strong and not be over dramatic. I try to put things off and try to avoid painful situations. I don't like to talk about how bad things are. I like to fantasise so I forget my troubles. The fantasies aren't always sexual sometimes they're romantic. There are things that are going on...

Experienced people probably know this, but I realised the following recently - in last 1 to 2 years of my 15+ year old struggle against PMO: Cause 1: Majority of my relapses started with "anxiousness/frustration in other areas of work/life", rather than temptations. Basically using PMO as...

For me, I wouldn't like to have sex before marriage. I think that it's nice to share that with the same person, not allowing yourself to slip up and get pregnant without someone there to support you. So I find the no porn thing even harder. I also get turned on more when I have to pee so idk...

Hi guys i dont know where to post this shit, but i need to write it off. So today is my 100th day. I planned to go to success stories with some good positive shit and so. But my day is not positive at all... I just feel sad and i think about relapse. Just let it all go, break things, break...

Hi! I have successfully abstained from PMO for 7 days now. But I am feeling lusty. Sometimes I want to masturbate so badly. I live alone in hostel. Actually it is vacation. So very few students live here. That's why these urges are becoming so strong. Many times thoughts of porn scenes come to...

Goodnight. I am from Latinoamerica. I am a man who started my addiction to pornography at 11 years old. I started to masturbate only on weekends, but over time I turned addiction into habit. Every night before going to sleep, I masturbated to calm down. Every day, one masturbation a day 365 days...

Hello guys, i am a chronic PM addict and daily fapper. Sometimes even twice a day. Im gonna be 30 y.o in a month plus a few days. Except a few experiences in the past, women do not notice me at all. Ive heard stories from people here about getting glances or even being approached. Well, the...

Hi, I'm from Barranquilla - Colombia. I currently have a girlfriend whom I'd like to marry, but I can't unless I leave masturbation. This is a big problem for me, because I've been practicing it since I was 12 years old, but my main problem is that I leave it for a while and then I fall into...

Otra vez, sí, otra vez lo hice. Y es que es muy raro. Una parte de mí quería ver pero en realidad no sentía ganas de hacerlo. Me forcé a mí misma aparentemente sin razón alguna. Luego mi cuerpo actuó solo y ahora me siento más jodida. Más de lo normal. Es una mierda que haya recaído. Pensé que...

Loneliness is the best for introvert. But for me its suck. Sometimes it bring me to pmo. But naturally loneliness make me feel life. So how to get through from loneliness? How to fight it? How to change? How to life together? How to change from introvert?

Hi, I will be straight to the point! I am 24 & s virgin. I have never even got a chance to hold hands with a girl romantically. Never even kissed anyone. I am currently in college & everybody around me is somewhat in a relationship. Those who are not go to a prostitute. I personally hate the...

What more can I do??? I'm 28 years old and have only had one sexual partner (1.5 year relationship a few years ago). I tend to fall for a woman, let her break my heart early, get in great physical shape, then try again (PMO always present, and a serious problem in that one relationship). I...

I tried to write a post earlier but was kicked off line...So I'm going to make this as short as possible. I masturbate alot, of course, less than when I was younger but more than most people I think. Like many here I think it's fair to say I'm addicted to porn. Even when I have girlfriends I...

DISCLAIMER: This is by no means a social study on loneliness and I am by no means a psychiatrist. This is simply what I've seen in my own experience and what I have concluded from those experiences. Recently I've noticed a trend with many people who are single and struggle with PMO. Loneliness...

I've asked so many times but nobody gives me an answer. Please link me to the answer. I need to know if it is possible to overcome this nasty fetish.

I'm 36 and my porn addiction started when I was in my teens it started with porn and sexting, I've kicked the sexting and now struggle with porn. It is ruining my marriage and my life. I'm at a point where I feel lost, empty and alone. I would masterbate all day everyday untill it was sore...

Ok. I DID IT!!! I STAYED 3 MONTHS WITHOUT PMO! It was great, but my hopes were bigger than that, I was thinking that after 90 days without committing I will get a girlfriend, but it wasn't like that, maybe because I worked less on inside . After some time I was so excited that I committed again...

I recently developed something called Ejaculatory Anhedonia. Basically, that means I can't feel any orgasm when I ejaculate, a flat out 0/10 every time. I've never had much of a sex life; I've had two partners in the past. When I look around, I'm seeing all of my friends hooking up with people...

7 years I have let porn take away time from my life. Now stopping is hard. I feel like it is impossible at times, but I continuously fight alone. In truth, the images do not even appeal to me much anymore; it is just a deeply ingrained habit that leaves me empty and humiliated. Today I relapsed...

Hello, my name is Buddy and I am addicted to using a webcam and letting strangers watch me. It all kind of started accidentally while using online amateur porn and I clicked on a pop-up, which I never do, and it lead to a site that allowed you to watch random people on webcam. watching them did...
