confidence

Hey guys, does someone encounter the same ? I'm at the moment feeling really weird, when walking past couples or just normal, regular people. Also it has become quite hard to just have a normal talk, e.g. with a female cashier. I have this problem since idk maybe 2-3 months. You have to know...

I had a vivid dream last night that I ejaculated in my sleep and felt so distraught about it. After I realized that it was just a dream, I think I can safely say that I'm obsessed about my current NoFap streak (15 days). I'm going to continue my streak of course because I like the benefits it...

Hi. I don’t really post on here much, haven’t for years but I feel like posting now I believe the time is right. I’m 27M. I have tried to quit internet porn on and off since around 2018 or slightly before. I’ve had a streak of around 110 days and relapsed before. Countless streaks of afew...

Just finished reading the SPAM REMOVED (spam code #001) - REPORT TO MODERATION Method on fighting PMO addiction. The parts about the little monster vs. the big monster really resonated with me. The little monster is your body wanting momentary relief and a temporary dopamine hit however using PMO is a false way to treat that need as...

Hey, so while i am not new to nofap itself, i am new to this website and i would like to write my mind out since i never did that before. I would like to share my story, problems that keep me addicted and how i want to break free. It all started in the year 2020 during covid. I was 12 then...

Loving oneself is crucial for overall well-being and happiness. It involves accepting oneself, being kind to oneself, and recognizing one's worth and value. Self-love also includes taking care of your physical and mental health, setting boundaries, and prioritizing self-care. Remember...

I don’t know why it’s happening but whenever I see a real naked woman(my gf) in front of me, I don’t get that hard and it doesn’t give me that excitement which I used to get before. I have been consuming porn from like 10 years now and stopped it 6-7 months ago. I have PIED and I’m fighting with...

Hello fellas, so the years is turning towards the end. My issue is that I always tend to fall back into masturbating to femdom porn (and other submissive porn: strapon, cuckoldty, bbc etc) and do sexchats about self-humiliating things with other women. It’s always the same procedure and...

I’ve been struggling with this honestly for maybe 4 years and it really took a toll on my confidence to talk to people and have conversations. I have been recovering these past few months but sometimes I’ll have these debates in my head to watch or not watch. I just read up on some things to do...

Our so called Science says , it does affect body in any terms. How is it even possible?? Because The one who masturbate frequently know how much it affects the energy in body and confidence on their body. My experience says it decreases body gains and weight And energy as well. What does your...

First and foremost, I'd like to stress that, although the push-up is a great exercise, this isn't really meant to be a fitness thread/challenge. I'm going to do 100 sets of 10 push-up reps minimum in public, and I'm challenging you to do the same, for your own good. "Why would you do this?"...

I've been on nofap for quite a while now, and I am a bit more confident, I would say. Basic things like going to the supermarket or a making a phone call in public don't stress me as much as previously. But I still kind of struggle with stress, I would say. For you guys who are confident, how...

Ok, now I am in no way implying that NoFap is going to make you look like Brad Pitt after 90 days or whatever, but I, along with many other people believe that NoFap generally makes you more attractive. Whenever I relapse, my face looks more puffy and feels more oily/greasy, and about a day or...

Hello Fapstronaut, this is Destroyer of PMO. Before you continue, I must warn you that I will be explicit since it is necessary not just for you but for me because I need to get this poison out of my life. I want to help anyone to overcome this addiction. It took me around 2 weeks, so it is...

Whenever I am with a few friends in the car, or I happened to be left alone with a mate on a discord call or even just outside with nothing to do, hell, even when with random people or people I'm mutual friends, I always feel as though I have nothing to say. I feel like I am a boring person to...

yesterday on a dating app(a raunchy one tbh) I came across a woman who is really charming and pretty,she is really sweet and cute. funnily how it all started is a great story.i saw her profile and texted her a hello to which she responded with a 'hi' and then almost instantly she sent me a...

For some reason whenever I’m on vacation or just at a hotel. I have streaks that last up to 10-12 days. After a while I am more alone so I fall back into my steps of resetting and relapsing. Yesterday I was upset and angry at something and I used it as an excuse to use cam and just watch. I’m...

Have you ever felt very confident while on a good streak of abstinence from PMO, but yet held yourself back because you know if you go home and relapse in the evening you will be the total opposite of what you were yesterday i.e. not confident at all and people (who obviously don't know anything...

Hello fellow Fapstronauts, The reason I am posting to Success stories, is the fact that I had never felt this confident in last 9 years. Today I am on day 84th of my streak. Prior to this I have had few long streaks as well. Today when I say the following to myself, I really mean it. I am...

Hey all, Something happened recently that has really affected my life, brought me into a downward spiral. In short, I've had a porn addiction since I was about 12-13 years old (19 now). Of course, after this prolonged exposure to porn, it naturally escalated to more taboo and intense...

I was thought how pathetic is to be 23 years old and have had sexual expriences only with your hand watching fake girls on your screen fucked by someone else. It's really a pussy thing. I feel like a damn pussy not a man. If my friends would discover this I'd be mocking for the rest of My...

Tired of being alone all the time. In the comfort of my own room because I’m too afraid to step out of the house fearing that someone will actually speak to me or me having to speak to them. I can do small things like ordering food at the drive through for example. There are rare times where...

I've noticed recently, becoming stronger and stronger, the distaste for myself that I had starting to rise up from where I thought I'd buried it within myself. This self-hatred that I lied to myself about having gotten rid of, I've noticed, is what keeps bringing back my insecurities. For...

I won’t say I have conquered this habit , but I won’t even say that I am defeated . In the past 2.5 years , I have tried to defeat this habit bit by bit . It has not been defeated completely, it’s still a long way to go . However I’ve been successful in limiting it once in every 10 days ...

Porn vs. our Goals: as Cognitions It is far easier to conceptualize the things we have experienced than those we have not. Porn surrounds us and is rooted firmly within us - we have all seen it and do not require much effort to form a clear picture of it. We can choose from a number of scenes...

Hello all. I am making this post in order to share my thoughts. Today I relapsed hard again. I find myself feeling weakened by my continual self sabotage. This is due to me having no self control over what I end up watching. Just today I watched a YouTube video containing a cute woman and then I...

Ah man! Day 50. Feeling so proud of myself. I knew that I would complete this milestone. Want to know what are the benefits I have got in these 50 days? •Number 1 and the most important benefit is that i have changed the view in which I have been seeing myself. I used to view myself that I was...

Hey everyone, most of us are alone. We have lost our friends. Well I'm creating this thread so that people who lost their friends can build some confidence. I request everyone who is reading this "Can we be friends?" We can connect ourselves. We can get back that lost confidence. Although we...

Hey guys. I want to talk about something that I've been conflicted about for a long time struggling with porn. When it comes to PMOing, I always blamed it for any insecurities/ and flaws I had. However, as I continue grow as a person naturally, I see that it's not always to blame. The reason I...

It's been so far 13 days since my last relapse, most gyms in my province aren't open, so I applied for a permit, I sparred with three partners. A 168lbs man, 5 rounds of 5 minutes A 112lbs woman, 3 rounds 5 minutes. A 140 lbs (My size) man, 6 rounds 6 min. I wasn't winded, at least not as much...

This is my first post - so please forgive me if I have committed a breach of etiquette I have always lived with a certain fear, the fear of being negatively perceived, the fear of being judged by others. This has going on for as long as I remember, and has been ingrained long before I could...

I’m a collegiate men’s volleyball player who made it to where I am because I have a great work ethic. I can grind. I can go for hours doing drills and working out. I am passionate. However, something I have always lacked is self confidence which destroys me in the court. Something that always...

Note – I removed cuss words thinking it blocked my post on reddit nofap, still didn't work, so I posted here instead. Post is a bit long but is very emotional, 1500 words, bear with me. It is all over the place and I talk about seduction as my personal goal here btw, so if you hate that maybe...

Things are changing for the better. Feeling strong and confident. Since I don't have any friends or relatives with which I am close, decided to share my emotions from today here. The most important thing I realized is that nofap alone is nothing but a boost of energy if its not coupled with...

Hey all, I just recently turned 18 less than a week ago. Since I was around eleven or twelve, porn and masturbation have been a pretty big part of my life. I’ve tried several times in the past to stop masturbating without much success. I can typically go for about a week before I slowly...

My longest streak previously is 90 days and then this one of 80 days. This time I fall victim to my brain's trick. I had no urge since last 3-4 days. And this hits me hard and I just got into th trap. Benefits I got after 80 days of nofap are: 1)Increased confidence as I could easily state my...

Truly nice to meet you all! For me, it all starts with temptations...Even in a non sexual way, I've been giving in to temptation too easily (e.g. sitting & playing games instead of doing school work, waiting till the last second sitting in bed causing me to rush to make the bus, etc.) I want to...

Hey everyone . im a currency (forex) trader , 32 years old . ive been trading for seven years . i dont know if any other trader is out here or not , In this thread i like to talk about trading and nofap and the realition between the two , since trading is a psychological game and you need a lot...

Hey, I was wondering if there are some apps or websites you use to develop some skills, become better as an individual, boosts your productivity or health. Like, for me, I love Keep Notes by google for setting reminder, making to-do lists and anything I feel I may forget later. For fitness 7...

I just want to thank everyone who created the site and all the people posting bringing this life destroying problem to everyone's attention. It has quite literally changed every aspect of my life for the better. A little history I was a well read happy positive child with a big imagination and...

Goodmorning dear Reader, This is a thread I've been thinking about writing for some time now. And it revolves around an observation and statement which has helped my dating life. The statement is this: "One should find love for oneself, before searching for love from others." Over the past few...

“She might have even liked me… but I will never know now…” I was a guy who PMO’d 2x/day every day (early morning AND late night) from ages 18-26. I failed out of grad school a few years back, which made my PMO addiction take an even worse turn. I moved back in with my parents. I worked a...

Part 1/4: Hello all fapstronauts! This long post (or novel rather) is dedicated to all of you out there who are: currently struggling with PMO-addiction, those of you who are getting control over it and to those of you who have more or less mastered it. I make absolutely no judgment based on...

What’s goin’ on guys, My name is Shestakov (sort of) and I have been trying to quit P seriously for about a year now. I am a non-denominational Christian and have been walking with God since last July (2018.) The longest streak I was able to hold was about three weeks, although it wasn’t the...

Long story short, nofap makes me feel GREAT! Even a couple streaks back to back makes me feel fantastic as I am not depleting my energy. One thing I’ve noticed as my confidence grows is that I become a bigger dick. I’ve always been that one super kind, quieter kid, but lately I’ve been a loud...

All the single fellas here, this is for you. For the next 7 days, I want each and every one of you to go up and talk to a cute girl. I don't care if that terrifies you, I don't care if you're gonna piss your panties when you do it. Just do it. Don't ask her out, don't ask for her digits, just...

Hey, I'm currently about 10 weeks into my reboot process where I've removed myself from porn and masturbation. However, I don't feel a difference. I still have the same thoughts about women such as they're fit and I'd like to fuck them but this thought process I have is making me remain very...

So I have noticed it on a people. I see some of my friends who masturbate everyday and they don't seem that they masturbate at all. You see that girls are getting attracted and you see that they are a lot confident. They are humorous, you see girls hugging them and basically they don't have...

Hello Fellow NoFappians.... This is my first & last time I plan to be a victim to PMO. I have tried to go Hard mode multiple times in the past but can't seem to get past the two-week mark before either life, stress or boredom (and the feeling to reward myself) takes over and I'm back to Day...

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...

sorry my bad english, not a native speaker so its been only 45 days which not a very huge number but for me it is a huge accomplishment. i couldn't stop masturbating for more than 9-10 days but now its been 45 days... yey i m so full of energy. i m working out 4-5 times a week. i had a fat...

I've started to look at things at little differently when it comes to PMO. I used to get really frustrated whenever I would break my streak, which I still do on occasion, but now I view things a little differently. Before joining this community, I probably watched P 5-7 times a week, let's just...

I don't even know where to begin with this, I've MO'd since I was 11, PMO'd since I was 12 and have been ever since. Porn never was an issue for me, however, when I turned 15/16 I started going down the rabbit hole of sissy and gay hypnos, and that's where a lot changed. When I turned 16, I lost...

Hello everyone, I'm a 20 year old male and I've never had a girlfriend before. I've had a masturbation and porn addiction for about 8 years. This addiction has seriously affected my confidence. When I meet girls for the first time, I get really nervous when talking to them. Also, when I'm with...

Hey everyone, So, I recently reset after the longest streak of my life without PM. I feel that I truly did feel the benefit of increased attraction from girls. I don't think that this was a direct result of NoFap, but rather a result of using my sexual energy for self improvement. During my...

Hi everyone, it's been a while since I've been on the forums but my NoFap battle has still been going. My personal record, ever since starting NoFap, was 10 days which I believe is a good start as that number is a double digit but I believe I can do better. Usually, people who give advice on the...

Hi everyone I like to share something Today i watched some porn images in twitter didn't fap so I got blue ball magaged it by cold shower planned to fap in night. after that I gone to a shopping store with my friend where I realized that the girls working, shopping there are attracted to me by...

I`ve been taking English class for more than 3 months, Yesterday, i got qualified with 78% of result. So I would like to get suggestions and your opinion regarding grammar skills that I`ve been learning so far. Ok come to the point, there are 3 time periods Present, Future and Past each time...

I wonder of how does it make you feel when you sincerely want to help out needy people. Im not talking about very dramatic kind of help. Did you ever help someone in their education or self-development?. like giving some life-changing ideas and advise. also let me know what are the other...

First off, I need to address this: Just by abstaining PMO for 5 days and taking cold showers in the morning has skyrocketed my confidence like I've never experienced before. I can make eye contact and approach people a lot better and my anxiety is non existent when i'm around people. Im glad I...

I am excited because. Previously I used to go incognito to search for you know what. But now I am using incognito for logging into my account. What a change. Had urges for 2-3 times today but was able to survive them just by reading my own posts and replies to my posts. Oh my god this is great...

I am now about a week away from 90 days on Nofap and I really wanted to here what you think. The post might be a little long, but even if you can´t help, I think it will be very motivational for you. Short version: I´ve had weird sexual (innate) fetishes for a lot of years which I have...

It's only been day One and Going through day 2. But, there's already been quite a handful of times that I was tempted to go back to watch Porn, somehow then, I just remembered my goal, and I thought to myself that "This is who I am ! And I am going to change for Good !" ; and hence I got the...

We all know that generic saying "New Year New Me". Usually this quote is exchanged with a sarcastic scoff or a roll of the eye from the 3rd party; however, I've tooken in more appreciation of this term. Since my breakup last year around March (I know it's been almost a year get over it right?)...

Oh my god, you guys!! I made it to 30 days yesterday!! No PMO of any kind!! I feel amazing! My energy is through the roof. My focus is great. My memory has greatly improved. My body fat percentage is down to 17%. My attraction to and from women (friends, strangers, co-workers, etc) is off...

Successfully completed NNN with a lot of encouragement. Of course my friends thought I was just in on a meme but it obviously meant a lot more than that. I had been Nofap for a week before and had been feeling amazing, signed up for school, job interviews and talking to women casual and...

Hey everyone! I am making this thread because I am currently struggling with Woman confidence and relationship building at this point in time. I feel like I have been living under a rug for some time never really gaining any success. All my friends and family have relationships and honestly I...

Every once in a while I'll find a quote that resonates with me, motivates me, and reminds me of why I'm here and why overcoming my struggles is worth the effort. Reading over these can help me find the strength to push past the temptations and desires and find victory. I figured I would share...

Yesterday I convinced myself that I had to watch a sextape for research a sex tape. So I fucking did. Luckily, I resisted the urge to M and O because my friends walked into my house just as I was about to pull down my pants. This fucking scared me. I have almost become like an alcoholic. After...

Now I think I've reached a perspective where I believe that chasing after girls and obsessing over them, trying to get a girlfriend is not what I should be focusing on. I feel very immature whenever I have this goal. I would much rather focus on myself and my life and my hobbies which I see as...

Hey there, I am Dan (20) and I know for sure this is the way to go to become my best self. I have done multiple streaks since 2016 and I noticed how my confidence got much better and my mind was free, the thing is I never had the ability of going all the way with women I liked. So after so many...

The question is pretty simple but I'll explain in deeper. There is a lot of science with many different interpretations going around out there. Like the 7 days testosterone spike or the androgen receptors reduction in rats and way more other stuff. But it basically leads to nothing and gives no...

Hi, My name is John and I have been stuck in the same porn cycle since 8th grade. It is my senoir year and I want to go onto my life without porn and have the same motivation I had before I started porn. Please help me reach the golden standard of 90 days so I can rebuild my social confidance...

Hey guys. As the title says, I'm extremely nervous about going back to school. I'm returning in 6 days and I'll be in 11th grade. I've always been extremely nervous about going back to school after any break, even the weekends. This is because I have an extreme social phobia. I want to go to a...

Earlier this year I went without masturbation for 178 days. Now I am implementing it back I to my life (without porn of course). The problem is, I feel extremely guilty about it now, and this has resulted in anxiety and depression. Before Nofap, I used to feel no guilt, but that has changed. I...

I struggled a lot being a skinny guy all my life, feeling quite miserable at school and stuff. No chance to talk to girls and stuff because I felt weak(and I was weak indeed.). Not wanting to go out much, lack of appetite too.. Always the weak guy, everywhere.. The type of guy nobody took...

I want to improve my social skills and get more comfortable in any social situation. I think a good way to do is, is by talking to strangers. This way I will go out of my comfort zone and I have an opportunity to practice small talk. Therefore, I decided to create this challenge of talking to 3...

There's nothing better to give you satisfaction in life than the power of appreciation. If you don't appreciate what you have in your life, you won't be able to enjoy it. Don't be outcome dependent. This is a great example: there's a girl you like, and you practically shit your pants because of...

You're afraid of not achieving, of failing, of being humiliated. You're confused, you see your goals as unrealistic, you fantasize all day about what you want to be doing or how you think your perfect world can be. You are so afraid of failure that you even find yourself comfortable in not...

Hello everyone! I want to share my thoughts on discipline and purpose with you. In order to be healthy, strong men, we need discipline. Each of us has a different purpose. Regardless of what it is, it drives us to be disciplined. This is because we will do what is necessary to fulfill it. But...

Im on my 20s and im growing a beard,anyone here grow a beard?maybe wamt to share tips or problem growing a beard ,please let me know your thoughts

Hi All, Just joined NoFap, i'm a porn addict and I started watching porn when I was 13. I look at it obsessively and PMO every day usually 1-2 times a day maybe up to 6 times a day. I haven't had a relationship in 2 years and my last one suffered as a result of my addiction. My last few sexual...

This is a question that always pops around in this forums and one that you shouldn't be afraid of asking. I've seen a lot of guys who are brave enough to ask this kind of question but then people start attacking them telling them that they're shallow and superficial. And no, I mean sex is...

What's up guys, I'm Jacob. I'm 23. I started my journey of quitting pornography and masturbation exactly 3 weeks ago, alongside completely quitting drinking alcohol, and I've been feeling on top of the world, of course. Every aspect of my life is improving and I feel alive and in control again...

Good day everyone, I saw a video on Youtube, an interview with a guy who hadn't masturbated for 400+ days apparently. I thought of it as a joke at first, but what if it was actually true? So I decided to take this journey myself. To see how far I can go. I consider that I masturbate too often...

Hey all, A while back I made my NoFap account using my full name. Recently I discovered whenever anybody searches my full name they will find my lovely profile pic of an orc in front of a computer and an instant click to my NoFap account. This terrified me... but why should it? Why should we...

I read something very interesting about confidence and i wanted to share it here maybe it's going to help some of you . Basically low confidence is linked to self image which is also linked to self discipline To make things easier when we say to ourselves this is the last time that I watch P or...

I have always been the quiet kid, But not with my closest friends. I am very talkative with my closest friends. and i want to be as talkative with others as i am with my friends. i specially get nervous around girls. i only interact with 3 women on a somewhat regular basis one is my grandma...

Now, this is serious. I should begin with a disclaimer: I'm NOT in puberty, that's not mere coincidence. So, hi everyone! My first post in this forum. I signed up two days ago but waited till today, my 31st day so I'm legitimate to post here. I want to share with you my story, amazing as it is...

So doing pretty good at the NoFap challenge and I'm want to ask an interesting question that has been around me for a while now. It's about the "Fake confidence" skill. It is really helpful ? For me specifically , I always struggle with pick-up since I didn't have a girlfriend from before. so...

Not sure if this is the right forum to ask these kind of things, but... I'm 17 years old guy currently studying in high school. I would like to ask a girl out, but i don't know how should I do it, and what should i plan to do on the date. We had great time together at a school prom, and we...

So excited at the results I'm seeing. After starting hard mode back in January, though I've had a few setbacks, I'm already seeing changes! Though I'm 22, I never used to be able to grow facial hair (which really put me down), and now it's coming in strong (just peach fuzz atm, but you gotta...

Ive found that the root cause of a lot of problems I have are caused by just a lack of self confidence. Now I take cold showers and try to run for at least 30 minutes everyday and those give me some confidence but I’m looking for other ways I could become more confident in myself. I stay home...
