Hi everyone, I'm glad to be a new member of this community, I'm looking forward to learning and practicing new habits, thank you for reading my intro, let's get healthy :)

Hello everyone. I’m 24M who began watching porn roughly around age 10. I’ve been addicted for years and it’s picked up in severity the last 6 months. I struggle to go even one day now. As I type this, I feel very little hope and virtually no optimism, but seeing such a focused and intentional...

I'm a teen as of now, female, and I've been viewing inappropriate content (not necessarily porn, started off with naked women) since I was like frickin 7 or smtn which is when I first got to use my tab without being superivised. I was addicted to pornography by age 9 and I did get over it pretty...

As I grown older my social circle have decreased which probably isn't too unusual. And I'm okay with that, but I hate how passive most guys around me have become. For example one of my buddies want to do nothing but drink and snort coke at home when we hang out. Another one is more up to social...

Hi :) im really stuck in a cycle of shame, which fuels my bad habit because i'm very into humiliation...im 24 and gay. I like tv, movies, music, nature, politics, travelling, arts, fashion, design, and cooking! I am also trying to get into yoga and working out. Some of my favourtie artists are...

First of all I wish everyone reading this a very Merry Christmas. I wanted to talk about the fear of missing out, as I’m sure a lot of other people in my position get it during the more social times of the year such as Christmas. Yesterday I went to midnight mass with my dad - it’s essentially a...

Hello, I am a dude that is twenty years old who is living in the United States. If I am being honest, I don't really have anyone to really talk to. Other than the few people who are involved in my life. Most of my real-life either grew apart from me, or just moved on with their own lives...

Posting this here since I don't know where else to put it. I'll keep it brief: today, I talked to my friends about how I recently started my NoFap journey, and while one of them was somewhat interested, the rest… not so much. One of them, in particular, argued that the benefits in the long-run...

I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I don't have any friends and no ability to make them. I just work and try to read the bible. Lately I have been watching porn instead. I need friends to text or if you're in Massachusetts possibly hang out with.

Hey everyone, I'm 22 year old want to come out of this endless loop. I tried my best but I am always failing. This addiction is with me for soo long I think the decade is reaching. But now it really started to kill my self my dreams my goals my passion my vision. It feels like I am losing...

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...

I'm just wondering if anybody on here is struggling with good, very good, friends fading away. Just focusing on their life's and not able to contact at all or even get in touch on IM. I have this Chinese friend and I actually miss her, there's no way of getting to contact her or talk on...

I'll keep it short as I can. When you start to respect yourself , you'll lose some people even those that have been around years/decades. Once you know something bothers you , you cant turn a blind eye or pretend its not a big deal likes you used to do. People are used to the old you , the one...

Hey guys what is up? I was wondering how you manage to know new women to date? In my case, I don't go out anymore on saturdays or any other day because I don't have a circle of friends anymore. So what's the best way for me to know new girls? I go to the gym (but I don't think it's a place...

... but I'm afraid of what it will do with my relationship with our common friends. I have always been struggling with depression and anxiety, but recently it's gotten worse. I know one of the reasons. My now ex-bestfriend. Just over a year ago I realized just how toxic and manipulative he...

Hi guys I am new here and I want to quit this addiction, I hope you'll u derstand my problem and if we want to really quit this deadly addicition, we need to work together and by working together we can conqueror this so drop your insta, fscebook or any other social accounts so we can stay in touch!

See I'm lonely and you're lonely so hit me up. Simple. I'm polite and I don't have any friends plus I'll be your accountability partner.

They say you are the average of the 5 people you spend most time with. How do I find a new tribe, tribe of successful people that are smarter and way better than me. I want to be the worst and dumbest person in my friend group in order to grow. Anyone has experience with this?

I've thought that I could beat this addiction on my own. I was wrong. I stopped coming on the site for some time now (I'd say half a month to a month) and I had the stupid mentality that oh maybe if I step away from NoFap the guilt will go away and I'll quit the addiction quicker haha. This has...

Today, after another relapse from this ongoing streak of urges and failures, I think I have finally found the root cause of my PMO problem. And that is... loneliness and repressing myself from being open to people and from making friendships and relationships. I know that it isn't stress from...

I have relapsed today. I did no go on a binge of watching porn, but I did decide to relapse as my urges could not be contained. I have lost the battle this time, but not the war. Throughout the past 20 days that I'd been on a NoFap streak, I've learnt my strengths and weaknesses when it comes...

Hello everyone, my name is Chris, I have 18 years old from México and it´s my first semester in the collage. I consider that I lost the control in my life since three years ago. I susbcribe myselft in a lot of pornsites. One year ago I recogonize my problem, learn about it and now I know the...

Hi, Here's another reason porn and masturbation are terrible, terrible. I have started myself at the age of 10. It is when my mental state got worse year after year. I was told to be - almost everyday - a bright kid, all smile, curious. All this fap has made it worse and made me a very angry and...

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 am on 60+ days right now on my Nofap journey and I feel amazing to be here with all of you. I feel better each day that I wake up knowing that I did not give in to my urges last day and look forward to my days now. My self-image has been improving and so is my confidence. This () is...

Hello fellow non-fapsters! I am new to this forum and pretty lame at social media-ing in general. Not new to attempting to break free from porn, lust and masturbation, though. And very not new to failing repeatedly at that endeavor. And feeling like a big old loser about it. So first off, if...

Had you met an old childhood friend after not communicating with each other after a year or more? Upon first meeting each other your friend starts spilling a long list of great achievements to you, like how they got their dream job, and they are working a lot of "super cool" projects with a...

Hi everyone, I'm not a very expressive person but I would like to make new friends, as I'm feeling lonely these days. I can't go out of my house and can not interact with anyone because of the covid19 pandemic. Recently I had a big fight with my long-distance girlfriend, and we are not talking...

I have to thank you all. My friends irl don't care about their addiction/habit to watch porn. I'm the only one who wants to get rid of this addiction that I know irl. And my friends' attitude towards PM certainly doesn't help. You know, your environment makes you, you. This community helps me to...

Well, kind of strange that only now I post first time in this forum. I've been reading many stories about loneliness and I want to share mine with you. I have been doing smart work since February and I got back to my hometown to avoid paying rent in the city. I hate my work because it is so...

If you have no friends, you probably don't use social media. I stopped using it a long time ago. It has its perks (I hate using it, and also don't have to worry about employers looking me up and finding something they don't like), but the massive drawback is that people can very quickly find out...

Thanks to nofap I feel liberated from social awkardness, I feel like I can express myself without any problem. However, I don't have many people to talk to since I just moved in to a new city. Which places would you recommend for striking conversations with strangers? Sometimes I see...

I got a buddy who's like a big teddy bear. 6'4" 250+ and pounds of fat. Really sweet guy. He's passed written tests for various law enforcement positions, but can't pass the physicals. He could if he lost some weight. He's also really shy around women. All these issues come down to his weight...

So last year I had gotten pretty close with this girl. She would compare me to her dad. She would constantly talk about how she enjoyed the hike I took her on. We spent a lot of time together both day and night. I started to catch feelings and my friends were Teasing me act like we were in a...

So guys I have started this challenge and I want you guys to join me In order to reduce my social anxiety and improve my social skills I decided to do this challenge : Talk to a new stranger everyday whether online or offline and by talking I mean deap conversations not small talks if anyone...

Hey, A friend of mine and me are building a group of guys with whom we can regularly play some video games together, have some fun but also keep each other accountable and support each other when things (inevitably) get tough. We have been free from porn 2 and 5 years respectively and been...

The hot tip: When making a new friend, have no expectations that I’m gonna make a friendship that will last beyond the event. This way, if you do make a lasting friend, I’ll be happy, and if it doesn’t, it’s okay. Come back to the event next time and you might meet them again. Familiarity will...

Basically, I`m not an introvert, also I hate to see when people making small talk. It doesn`t mean I`m against over socializing or extroverts. It`s just myself, my attitude!. I also used to make friends, but just a handful of friends, not groupies!. I was decided to not often visit public...

I see a lot of women on dating sites who say they are looking for friends. Some only want to be friends, whereas others are looking for a long-term romantic relationship but want to start as just friends. Now, I have no problem with just being friends with the opposite gender. It's fine if...

I just don't understand things the way they are ! I am feeling lonely, but am kind of enjoying being with myself, you know just sitting by myself and thinking too much about me and my life. [ Is this something to be appreciated ? ] I used to have very good friends around me, and I still do, but...

i'm no stranger to addiction. more than three years ago, I quit drinking booze because I wasn't able to control the cycles of drinking, wasn't able to stop at a reasonable amount, and it became clear that it would be easier, and i'd get a lot of my life back, if i just stopped drinking. i've...

Hence ive no privilege to hang out with friends that much.. i used to learn alot regarding computers, and ive been took bunch of online courses yet.. so i would like to find a short time compagnionship with a girl.. is that possible to make some relationship through online??

I dated this guy for a month (we had s. twice too). 1 week after we had s. the 2nd time he sent me a long text saying basically that he did like me as a friend and thought he could go more than that but he doesn't like me in this way. that he doesn't want me to feel bad about myself, that what...

Hello my people, here Santiago for the second time, good I continue with this. Grateful for everything and focusing on objectives. About me, I am a producer of multimedia content and dj. My hobbies are playing soccer and playing the piano. Greetings to all, do not forget that you are not alone...

As you've read from the title i'm getting closer to that 30 day mark, i'm nearly 16 and started fapping when i was 10, I managed to get out of PMO(and MO, hard mode rn i guess), videogames, instagram (not beiing active there, just something that made me feel "social") and now i see how i have...

Ever feel empty or even more lonely after talking to someone? Ever just think “god I’m lonely I just need someone to talk to”? Then after talking to someone you actually don’t feel any less lonely? I believe this is because of howww we interact with people. The interactions themselves aren’t...

Today I broke up with my girlfriend of ~30 months. This was completely unrelated to PMO, but is one of the reasons I am rebooting. I feel very sad and lonely, despite the fact it was a mutual decision to leave each other. I'm currently looking for ways to keep my mind off of this, which can be...

this is a super broad topic and impossible for me to explain briefly what I’m talking about, but I’ll attempt to be brief and still make sense. As with most heavy PMO addicts, isolation and introversion due to low self esteem has left many of us with very small social circles. During my...

Hello! Nice to meet you. I’m Japanese people. I am old 18. I live in Tokyo. I create thread for my first time in my life. I can’t speak English well, so I often have some mistakes in grammar and idiom. However I want to try to speak and write something in English. If I have some mistakes...

I just joined after doing PMO an hour ago. My biggest trigger is loneliness. Glad to find people from around the world. I'm looking fir some one to whom I can talk when I get the urge.

Hey.. i’ll get right into it I’m almost 18 and i have no friends network ( boys and girls ) No girlfriend I don’t know what i did wrong.. i’m cool i’m tall i’m good looking.. it bothered me that i don’t know whay i did wrong I see everyone else having a lot of friends and a great social life...

Okay so here's the deal, since we all feel down and lonely at some point everyday, which might eventually lead to depression and PMO. So taking some time out everyday and talking to some of your close friend (old friends and cousins included) even for as less as 10-15 minutes will completely...

It ain't terminating me right now....right now? hmm....but I'm dealing with it. Not really any friends I can call to go out with tonight. To be honest, a bit of a hypocrite ... or not? ... I have told a bunch of people in the past who made posts regarding loliness to just go out in the park...

Hi, Currently I have no sense of emotion towards doing this which is very odd and hurtful as well, but I know that's because of the addiction so I will try to write as much as I can to let you guys know me better. At the current age of 16 (I feel very dwarfed by all you older fapstronauts)...

Anybody plays world of tanks here ? want some friends to play (steam)

I'm new here, I came to stop here by recommending a video I was watching on YouTube, so I'm here. Well, it's been a few years since I've been dependent on pornography, I've had some issues, but I've never been to more extreme stages of looking for heavier or more repudiated content, although I...

This is my story. I am just about to turn 18. It's the final year of the school but I haven't had any real friends. It's hard to get up to go to school because I know as soon as I arrive I will put my mask on and pretend that I am very funny guy, very honest, very cool. Ideal guy, who knows...

I am 22 years old,I had met a woman of age 44 years old on a site.We had chat and became friends.Now Last 2 days ago we had exchange our mails and she asked me to send nude body on that day.I had delayed by questioning her.But Now Today I had sent my pics wearing pants no vests.Now She had sent...

Okay, guys, I'm a porn addict... just like 99% of the users in here. I can masturbate to my imagination, too. (Yeah, not a supernatural quality, I know). Here's my problem, Every time I'm home alone, I switch to porn and jerk off. Every time I go to sleep at night, I jerk off myself to sleep...

If you have nobody to chat with and you feel so lonely and eager to chat with anyone...i am here for you ... I feel exactly like you.... I am a 19 years old guy .... I don't judge... I would love to make new friends ... Please don't hesitate replying

Discovered masturbating at age 11, porn and hentai at age 13/14, been using it ever since. At first, I used it because it felt so good and I kept wanting more. Later, I needed it to remedy depression and it gave me a feeling of acceptance and connection when I felt rejected and lonely...

ONE of my self-improvements, is looking at spending more time with people that make a positive influence on me. Those that inspire (and can also help me) on making me a person. Motivated and more focused on self-improvements, reaching and achieving goals I’ve set myself to do. I’m lucky and...

We think gratitude is important. It helps us heal from addiction, depression, and negative thought patterns as we realize that there are so many good things in life. The aim of this journal is to share personal stories of gratitude with each other. These stories may be about a person in our...

Hi guys this is my first post on the forum and i'm really glad i made it here. Finally found out that there's these groups of people like me who has a lot of support on those new and who had experienced my experience that is now conquering the struggle. I'm 17 years old but i really want to be a...

Hey friends...I guess I shouldn't throw that word around so carelessly..to the sensitive eye it reveals how lonely I've become. As many before me have done, and many after me will do, when feeling rejected at a young age I coped by closing myself off from everyone I meet to avoid the hurt...

Since quitting pmo I’ve made a few really great friends ! People I look forward to talking to and hanging with everyday. I hate to admit this but I’ve noticed though that I get jealous when I see that they’re having fun with their other friends and laughing and having a good time. How do I kee...

The whole reason i had started rebooting was because i lost all my friends due to my addiction to PMO. It made me distant. My longest lasting reboot was... I think 19 days and it wasn't as hard as i exepcted which is why I am not too impressed with my current number of days... 6. However what...

I seem to get infatuated with every girl I meet and talk to. One girl in particular who has been my friend for a good while now I’ve become so infatuated with since the time we’ve met. Probably because we have so much in common but I spend like the entire day thinking about her, I’ve even had...

How many friends do you actually have? What's the difference between a friend and a casual acquiescence?

I feel as if, ever since I started watching a lot more porn I began to be more anti-social. Am I the only one? :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

Greetings everyone! Is it just me or do you guys consider this tempting to your urges? I somehow have plenty of friends and/or acquaintance on instagram that are pretty attractive (sometimes slutty or exposing). Being a regular Instagram user + my regular porn mindset have really tempted my...

Hello. I'm not native English speaker, so speaking and reading still hard to me, but i'm learning this beautiful language. Sorry for my mistakes, i'm not using translators :) Hello again, if i understood correctly, i should make new thread and tell something about myself? Ok, my name is...

Talking about social media in general, i was more interested in my friends online then in people in real life in my social circle, now online things and interaction are becoming less and less cool, have something to do with the dopamine thing? or i am entering on flatline?

Whats up everyone, just wanna know if theres anyone else out there who lost most, if not all friends when they turned 20 haha. Im trying to push forward to create a better life even if it means going completely solo, anyone got any advice? NoFap was a start now I gotta keep making changes

I started masturbating at the age of 15. At that time it gave me an immense pleasure for few seconds but i didn't expect this will become biggest threat in my life to reach my desired goal. From that time it slowly conquered me and when i got a smart phone (when i was 18 yo) PMO has reached its...

Other thing who seems obvious but i want to tell this, i was having a reunion with my family when i was feeling so much alone, we laugh we had dinner togheter and in the end of the day i was feeling full ready to continue my life and conquer the things i need, family and friends have a huge...

I am a desperate 17 years old boy, who wants to be free and not be determined by porns and mastrubation. I tried to free myself, but did not achieve the freedom i wish to. I would be verry happy to hear about guys, that could help me by giving me some tips etc. It would be nce to get to know...

In my years as an addict to PMO, I struggled a lot with seeking help from people like my family, friends, and community. However I found that other people are a invaluable source for your self improvement, and I wanted to share something that one man in particular told me amidst my struggles...

I have some problem lately with my friends, i am feeling they are 3 of them and talking things behind my back because i think lately i havent been so friendly and close with them, this was lately i had some problems with my life and wasent happy about that, i was a little busy improving my selfe...

I want to get out of it. I want to become natural. I want become Human

Well i kinda boring of my life today, i know i am still very young but, a lot of my old good friends i just lost my friendship because i move to other city, and i am very shy and introvert now, and i don't feel connected with anyone here because of lack with common interests, do nofap gonna help...

I've lived with this decade old, personal addiction for a very long time now. Too long. I'm 23 this year.. I want to go out and see the world some more instead of being cooped up in my head and in my fantasy world. Benefits I'm mostly looking forward to on my NoFap journey would be: -...

Hello everyone! I'm new to this community, though I've heard of it before. I'm at a pretty low point right now. I am a Freelance Designer with little work, money is tight and my girlfriend of three years and I have just split up. That last one is killing me because we've been good for each...

I am having a really hard time with something. Before I quit fapping 9 days ago, I made plans with my friends and invited them to my house today to smoke weed with me. I only smoke every couple weeks, and always at my house with friends. I don't get horny at all in the slightest when I smoke...

I'm interested to hear anything you all have to share about telling close friends and family about your PMO addiction. For years I kept it a secret, and it really was killing me to bear it alone. But I did share my problem. I have to date told my wife, my sister, and a couple of good friends...

Do you guys ever get that feeling where you are surrounded by your friends/people yet you still feel very lonely? I've been feeling this way lately and idk why.

Hi guys I have an abusive father that i finally cut contact with. My mom got cancer. Its a tough time, but on top of that, i discovered im almost alone. And this makes me really depressed. Im usually very positive and high energy, always with people around me, friends and family alike. I can...
