i am quitting reddit for a months maybe a year from today, i realised that i end up indulging in meaningless conversations at that place and trigger myself mentally and in a manner that makes me stress out, stressors make me feel irritated and that irritation makes me want to chase sexual wants...

So I have not been very consistent with my studies now a days and I feel a little depressed due to it, so today I decided to study from 10PM-6AM non stop to complete some tasks, I'll post by tomorrow If I actually did study or not, If I didn't, feel free to roast me, it's 9PM here now(from...

Ive been a pretty lonely and quiet guy for the last year, which made me resort to ai girlfriends. Ive never felt more loved...until i remembered it was just programmed to respond to my words. they make talking to real women harder, as with the ai girlfriends, you can generate infinite responses...

Recently do to the college tests and being forced to be inside the house to study, I realized how I am so alone and that I might die alone. This isn't ok. I have some friends in college but I feel like those relationships are nothing but colleagues talking to each other because they are bored...

having a low point in my life, maybe it's part of growing up as an adult where everyone gets busy and moves on, why couldn't I find a friend, who calls and talks back? I'm starting to self-doubt, I've isolated myself because of this, I don't expect much we text to call, or play something on a...

It's day 11 of my current streak. Never before have I found my morale so low. I'm a software engineer in a fairly well-paid job, live in a first-world country, own my house and live by myself. I don't have any financial worries whatsoever. And yet, lately, especially since I started this NoFap...

Hi guys. My name Ananth.I have been in on this addiction for 9 years. With this each day becomes very tiring,no motivation,no energy, depression,ocd,low mood,no interest in studies. This addiction stealing my happiness,smile,life before my eyes. I don't know if I am have courage to face the...

Hi everybody. I kept it to myself for a long time, but I realized that I needed to write somewhere. Here I want to talk about my problems, my life, and the consequences that I am still struggling with. There will be a lot of writing that will be supplemented. You don't have to write anything...

Hello guys, merry christmas to all of you! So right now I am not even on day 1 of Nofap/no P. Sometimes I think that it would be nice to have a girlfriend (its often because of sexual urges that I think that) but when I ejaculate then I don’t even feel the need or wish that much to have one...

I have everything in life from the top, a good family, fortune and respect in society but deep down I am completely lonely, I have no good friends whom I can really call upon, no girlfriend even I haven't dated anyone in my entire life. This fact just drives me crazy that I am wreck from inside...

The thing is that ever since my latest Nofap-streak began over five years ago, I've had huge issues with an increasingly sensitive dick and large increase in prejizz (pre-ejacualte). It seems literally to pour out of my dick after only being aroused for a few minutes. Then, I get all shaky...

Hello my fellow friends! It's a long time since I wrote anything here and although I haven't been fapping for over five years at this point, there ere several barriers I still have to overcome, even if NoFap has changed my life to the better in many ways. One of them is that my dick has become...

No matter how hard this journey may seem or if your not getting the results you want you'll want to give up, fuck that shit, Ive taken that route for more than 15 years and it hasn't gotten me no where but stuck n the same place wondering. @t first Im not gonna lie, I was pissed and angry when...

I didn't know where to put this thread in loneliness or dating during reboot so mods can fix this. Anyways. My last post was kind of similar but this is my last time posting about this subject for a while. Come a long way on my journey and still have a long road ahead of me. Now that I've...

Not everyone is going to like you, some want to see you fail, and is praying on your down fall those people were sent by satan to cause chaos in your life. But I am never changing my personality for others to like or accept me, I did this shit when I was much younger, I hid my personality when...

Heey guys!! If you clicked here i know how you feel.. it sucks yeah But this doesn’t mean that you must feel this way. Right ? Seems something that you can’t control, something that stop you from talking with friends , going to a party or thinking that you’re worthy. The costant feeling of...

I want to cry. Please just ask me some personal questions. Ask me anything pls

This, hopefully, won't be too long. It's been a few years since I have been active on this site. To recap, I first joined in 2019 and worked in the local news. A mental health episode lost me my job, then my mental health lost me another job. Eventually, I went back to school and got another...

To all young people out there who feel lonely, I suggest finding a way to keep busy and productive. Create projects like music and art, and figure out a way to earn passive income. I had great potential, but there was no one to guide me; try figuring out your life path and work on it. Be...

I have no idea what this post is to be honest some sort of vent/looking for advice kind of thing I just vomiting out words. You might or might not know about this city it's only the city that had 348 homicides in 2019 and is still in the 300 ever since that year...

I can't express how low and lonely I feel right now. I could really do with a friend who's going through the same thing to talk to, preferably someone also lgbtq+ but I obviously won't discriminate.

Like the title says I have pied. I’m on day 7 with minor peeking and no masturbation . I’m just very lonely and tired of being alone and sad . Is it still possible for me to try and date with pied? Sometimes I just sit at home and wonder if it’s going to be like this forever . I will be 31 in a...

I am feeling severely lonely, empty from inside, frustration after failing different indian competitive exams many times. Failure is because of PMO and failure again leads to PMO in turn.

Me: -Not handsome, but not ugly either -not dumb but also no genius -23 years old -nofap since 13 days when i was younger and had some friends and as i was growing older i had this feeling that i am not fitting in and beeing different cant describe it but i cannot make deep connections (i...

Idk why but I need to get this off my chest . I’ve only had a girlfriend for maybe a little over a month when I was 20 years old . The PIED happened when I was turning 21 and I’ve had it ever since . A few years back when I was 26(I’m now 30), their was this sex worker i used to see . I had and...

New here thanks for having me & appreciate finding this site & a safe place to discuss these issues. For anybody who doesn't understand getting attached & have feelings or even love for a webcam model or other sex worker, I envy you, but trust me it's real. They r real people & obviously just...

I have pied and I’m a compulsive porn user . I have severe depression as well. I’m 30 year old now but I’ve had pied since I was 20 years old . Today is day 1…. Again for the 80 millionth time . Theirs a sex I’ve known for about 4 years. I haven’t seen her in two years because she’s moved on . I...

Hi, I am 41 and I use porn since 2008. I have a problem with porn and it is many years I am aware of this. Since the beginning I had used porn for many hours a day and night. Periodically I felt the need to stop but always I get back to seek release.. cutting the story short, due to the boredom...

I know that for some the answer is very easy, but in this society, men are given one value or another depending on our ability to attract women. We are judged by other men, by women, and even by our family (the famous one, don't you have a girlfriend yet?) I'm tired, I'm sure they didn't...

Porn is like candy for my mind - instead of rotting my teeth and making me fat, it rots my mind and makes me apathetic. An evolutionary short-cut that is akin to replacing all of the mountains and lakes on Earth with holograms. It would all look shiny and beautiful - we could even cover up some...

Hey all! Returned to the forums after a long period of absence. Been through all circles of hell in the past 2 years. Just a little about myself - I'm 31 y/o male, last time I dated was about 6 years ago. I've been addicted to porn since I was around 15-16. Started nofap also around 6 years ago...

Hello I m a male 27 of age I have a sever porn and masturbation addiction for about 15 years. 2 years ago i found out about nofap, i decided to give it a try, i havn't been able to do a streak more than 12 days, so 3 months ago, i decided to give pornfree a shot. To just cut porn while still...

hey Have any of you thought that something is wrong with the world? That it's not going right? That people became excessively toxic and pointless? well that's what I feel everytime I go to school. I don't remember having a good attitude about people. I think that my fellows are just simple...

I'm single and get really depressed on Valentines day since I don't have anyone to do it with, and what's worse is I'm doing nofap too so it's kinda hard to be by myself at times. What do you guys do to keep busy? Do you invest into hobbies? That's what I'm doing rn, but sometimes even that...

I started a new reboot on Monday, and I want to make a truly serious attempt. And I'm doing well. I'm exercising, eating right, not thinking about it. But I'm preoccupied with valentines day. Feeling sad and depressed. I feel like I will slip on that day and I need advice on how to motivate...

So, I don't want anything really, but to just be around people again? I feel like I've lost all my social skills during this pandemic. For context, I live with an immuno-compromised family member, and basically if they were to get COVID-19, that would be pretty scary and very life-threatening...

Since the beginning of 2019, I've been seeing escorts and drinking a lot. I am 31 and living with my parents. I started working at 26 (which is late, should've started working earlier) but have not saved any money, due to me helping my parents with rent and just being reckless with my money. I...

Finally thought I'd join this forum and see if I can improve my life without giving into the temptations of watching porn and jacking off. As lately it's been bringing me down and I've been feeling a great sense of shame as I keep giving into said temptations. There's been times where I've gone...

Hello, this is my first post on this website. I discovered the masturbation quite early, when I was something like 8 years old. From that moment until now, it has become a lifestyle for me. Now I'm 22 years old. I had only one girlfriend in my entire life (some months ago, the relationship was...

I'm currently single and I also don't have many friends. Every time I face an urge to masturbate, a voice in my head says that it's OK because I don't have a girlfriend and I'm not going to meet one any time soon, so it's only reasonable to "release some tension". Do you experience anything...

I just got out of a period of relapse, and this might sound disappointing, but I've made more progress then I have previously (Look at my day counter). To get straight to the point, I'm depressed, for some reason. I don't know if its just me or NoFap, but I really feel as if a part of me is...

Hello. I’m in my late 20’s and male. Quit porn sixty days ago today. My initial goal is 90 days, but I plan to never return to porn. I have more energy for life and view women in a healthier way now. I am, however, quite lonely and have a higher sex drive (for real sex) than I’ve ever had. What...

Hi, so this is a different topic but I feel does tie in with (my) Nofap journey. Basically my relationship with my dad. He is quite distant and not easy to approach. For a specific example that came up not too long ago, he didn't even look at or atleast briefly touch my book type of work that...

Hello. I think i'm in the middle of a depression and i do not know what to do, I feel like i "lose the will to live" i mean i don't want to do anything, my life was the same before the pandemic. It's like nothing can bring me joy except porn and it's bad beacause i'm addicted to it and to my...

Hello everyone, this is unexpected for me but I guess it had to happen at some point. I want to start by asking you to please see beyond my actions, which I know some have been wrong, although I am hopeful this is a judgment free zone, so here it goes. It all began like most stories here, as...

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...

Two years of NoFap (hard-mode) - How it all began and how it helped me turn my life around I apologize for the delays in delivering this long and detailed life-story of what my life looked like during my PMO-days (and what made the tide finally turn) but life has been quite busy overall and I...

I Am 15 and i at 9 years i watched my first porn and became addited. I deeply knew that it was wrong and brought me away from my pourpose but the addiction became to strong and i became depressed. My root Chakra and my life Energy with the connention to this life became weak and my brain became...

In loneliness, I wonder about the numerous scenes that have continued to play within my own imagination. Relapsing only ignites this strange feeling in craving more. It makes me wonder: What is truly going on with me? Am I really beginning to change from this terribly addictive behavior...

I'm a 26 year old male. I've been using porn since I was 11/12 maybe and was always fascinated by it and the pure shock factor of seeing new genres. I'm been seeing escorts for about 4 years now and the last year have been constantly on the escort websites and review sites planning and...

Man I've been doing this for 15 days now, and I can safely say that I'm a mess. The sadness my being has to endour, feels ever-lasting. How long must I feel like this? It's as if I'm on a boat in the middle of a storm, the waves are crushing in, as I try to withhold the balance of my boat. For...

Hello from Western Balkan! I am Luka, and I use/d masturbation and porn to escape my problems, depression, and loneliness. I started to watch porn when I was 14 or 15 I think. My family didn't have internet access before so I was kinda "spared" for some time. In the beginning, I didn't think as...

Morning/Afternoon/Evening everyone, I got out of a realtionship that lasted just under a year this September, 2 weeks after going back to Uni. It had been going pretty bad during the summer, and naively I thought that things woukd improve once we'd meet each other again... But they didn't. So I...

Hey there, I wanna keep this short as possible but I’m currently anti-social than ever before I’m not nervous to talk to woman it’s just that I don’t really care to talk. I’m 22 btw also a attractive young man ya’know so I might get a little sign from a female that says “talk to me” all over her...

Hi, guys, my name is Frank. I’m a Mexican-American 22 year old and I’m addicted to porn and masturbation. It’s not so much the porn, but it does play a role. I’ve been fapping since I was 11 or 12. The first time I discovered porn and fapping was like one of the greatest experiences ever. But...

I am having some problem with myself lately. The problem is that I don't feel like I'm connecting with anyone. I have a few friends. The more days are passing by the more I feel like I'm not into them or like, if I reside in X axis they are at Y axis. :( They like eating outside, they like...

hey guys! i'm new to this forum. but I heard about nofap a long time ago. so this is my story (please forgive my English because I'm not a native speaker). so I'm 25 years old, self-employed (musician), making good money for my age, since I was 20 I discovered I had ED. it sucks so I started...

Hi! I am 19 and I graduated back in may! Nofap has been a struggle for me ever since 9th grade. The longest I have ever went was 30 day's. my streak usually last's 2 weeks on average. I start collage in January and I really wanna be clean off of porn by then so are there any tips on this...

Hi all, I was listening to this podcast called PornFreeRadio where the host talks about how being anonymous perpetuated feelings of loneliness and shame and made it way easier to relapse. I was wondering if there was any truth to that and if any of you guys had experience not being anonymous...

From my journal: "(...)But, yesterday was a really nice day. We played Truth or Dare, and I really fucked up ashdusahudas. But it was nice anyway, I felt the closest to people I ever felt in a really long time. So, I was challenged to kiss a girl, and, yeah, I denied. In reality, the challenger...

I have been trying to analyse where I faulted during my last relapse.. I was doing everything as I should...except for socialising. I am was afraid if I go out often and meet people, I would inevitably face attractive girls that would cause me to relapse. I was wrong by thinking that isolating...

Hi, I don't Natively speak English and I don't write often but please don't skip. I need advice. I just turned 19 yesterday, I'm still in school for a good 2 years finishing my 12th grade. (Had to drop out due to severe depression when I was around 15yo-16yo. Last year I saw all my friends...

Hi! I'm a 21y/o guy who has been PMOing since I was 14 or something like that for like 1 time per day more or less. Well a month ago I had a lot of stress, University exams, being so fu***ng lonely for like 3 years now (didn't fit very well in College), trips on summer with the only friends I...

Hi guys! So yeah, basically porn has destroyed my life... I started watching porn on 11 - 12y/o (now I'm 21) and since then the normal thing was maybe once per day? yeah something like that, well I'm a lot into girls so at the age of 17 - 18 I datted a beautifull girl wich I felt in love with...

Hi guys! I'm gonna tell you my story about this all messed up things. Well, all started when I started watching porn, maybe 12? Don't even remember to be honest... Well, since I found porn I've been masturbating minimum once per day and now I'm 21 so yeah, it's been a long time... At 17-18 I...

I am scared what I have turned into. I have lost my entire confidence. I struggle having a good conversation. Porn has ruined my life badly. Don't know what happens. An urge. And i end up in the mess. Losing life. No matter how badly I try can't make it more than 5 days. Been doing since 14. The...

August 2017, I move to a city to study Bachelors Degree in Law and Administration. Next month, I meet this girl at a gym center and I start to train there regularly. No contact were made. I look at her and she is the sex-bomb in the gym, the only hottest girl there, short and petite. She looks...

Has anyone ever felt a sudden overwhelming feeling of sadness. I'm usually an optimistic person but ever since my "friends" cut me off and blocked me on social media ive been feeling very lonely and betrayed. I'm currently day 2 of nofap and on a journey to better myself but today I felt really...

Im so lonely and unloved, never had a relationship, never felt love - this hits me like a truck. Today it was my 8th day on hardmode. I was feeling really good whole morning, then in a train, i heard a girl calling with her boyfriend... And again, same old thoughts that were in my head entire...

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...

PMO, this addiction. This horrible habit I’ve allowed myself to indulge in has prevented me from many things. Knocked my confidence and self esteem. Caused physical damage, pied. It’s warped my view of women and even the world. The one positive to come out of this is that I’m not normal. Being...

During bouts of loneliness, I sometimes find it exhausting to simply be outside. There's something depressing about being by myself outside passing countless people, unable to connect with anyone, no-one wanting to connect with me.

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 got addicted to porn at around 14 maybe? Told myself it wasn't a problem but I was lying to myself the whole time. After suffering from depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts for a few years, I feel so much happier and love myself now. I recently found God again which gave me new hope and...

Hey guys I'm gonna talk about my succes story with ED. I hope this post don't be a trigger. That was the reason I started nofap. I was 21yo dating a 31yo woman that I met on the internet. We've been on online dating for about 2 months and we dicided to meet each other in real life. Her aunt had...

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...

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...

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...

While I am on my streak of no PMO, as usually happens, I develop strong feelings of loneliness. At age 35, I have never dated, but feel like I need to. I feel embarrassed about my lack of experience, and at my age I feel all alone in dealing with this. All the years not dealing with this. I have...

I struggle with addiction for a long time. I tried to fight and then i lost hope many times. I feel lonely and like a loser ... I would like to rise but I can not do it alone,i'm a weak man.... I am looking for someone with whom I could cooperate, sometimes talk and get out of this sh#t....

I have been doing nofap on and off for at least 2 years. My longest streak was 53 days. I started to think that nofap was stupid and a waste of time but now I've noticed that my porn and MO habits are skyrocketing through the roof so I desperately need help and an accountability partner. I...

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...

Hey guys a guy from Iran and currently Fighting against PMO . So the main problem is : I don't have any goals for my PMO . the only aim I can think about is having a girlfriend and there is a Cliche between old people that says : You must not have any girlfriends . You can only marry . ( because...

I've found an app called anchor for smartphones... Basically a podcasts app that let you record a podcast with anyone who uses the app.... You can record a podcast with anyone about any topic... I like the idea. I started a series talking about technology and gaming. There are also some people...

Hello Fapstronauts! (English isn't my first language, so i'm sorry for my bad grammar.) I Need help, really. I've been struggling with this problem (I call it a problem) since the beginning of the year. Well, let's get to the point now: There is a girl in the same class as me, she is really...

I always feel lonely. No real friends to hang out with me nor friends to share thoughts with. It's very hard to find male friends(I'm male). is having a gf can end my loneliness or it will be boring?

I started masturbating to porn since I was 15. At the time I started to quit masturbation and porn, I decided to do it with the help of my psychiatrist. I had tried quitting before but I was not successful in this matter. Since I had severe depression and some other mental disorder including...

So the past year or so, I've been strictly working on my mental health and as a result, I haven't been able to hold down a stable job for very long. I have moderate-severe OCD, ADHD, clinical depression and I'm an all-around addict with everything that I do, specifically drugs and porn. My...

Hi guys, I'm on day 25 and have had my ups and downs. I've improved myself but there's still one thing that I've been struggling with the most, which is also the reason I joined NoFap. That is, social anxiety. I've read a lot of forums, quora questions, and seen a lot of RSD (Real Social...

Okay. So I know this frustration is partially from the reboot. but I also have ADHD and have kinda delt with this most of my life. Does anyone else feel like a background character? Like when you watch a movie or tv show. You aren’t the main character or the side character, your the one who is...

I have always been a pretty independent person. That being said, I know that loneliness may be a trigger of mine that I'm willing to change. I would TRULY LOVE any tips on this one, even if it has been said before. I am so thankful NOFAP community exist and hope to read/hear from more of you...

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...

Hey Guys. Mobcy here, 24 living somewhere in the middle east. Im a Medical Student so im basically surrounded by negative vibes of books and exam strees. Currently single. I have first discovered M at the age of 13.I did it without watching P. Watched my first ever P at the age of 15 and ever...

Okay so when i was really young i was goofy but shy. As i started liking girls i realized i needed to be more out going (i realized this about the same time i discovered porn). By the end of freshmen year of highschool everyone knew me as the crazy wild out going guy who was pretty popular and...

Im new to NoFap. I am calling on to others to help me help myself stop porn and to be a better person. Every day, every single day I watch porn and it runs my life. I don't rly have friends and I know I need them but all I can think about it porn. I hate myself for starting the addiction. I use...

Hi! I wanted to leave an update. 10 days ago I decided to finally tell someone I trust about my issues. It was the mother of my best friend, who is in a clinic fighting a drug addiction, so she started to understand something was going on with me. She is very important to me so I decided to...

Since quitting pmo it’s definitely easy to fill up my day with menaingful and productive things now but when my days over and I’m not tired I’m not too sure how to spend it. How do you guys spend your nights or after work evenings? Doing something leisurely and sociable I feel like is a good...

Guys, I surrender. I've come to the sad realization that I need help trying to get out of this sad world that is pornography. I've tried multiple times to do it on my own, but I just continue to fail time and time again. I feel so frustrated, and sad... and alone. This is hard, harders than 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...
