social awkwardness

so the point is that i relapsed on nofap today morning. i use dating apps on nofap instead of watching porn and i know that is wrong and detrimental to my mental health, but I used to think it will help me cope with the loneliness and emptiness that i have inside of me. i feel like i am wrong...

I was mostly using Discord in hopes of finding people I can relate to and share interests with, but at the same time, in real-time I can't help but it is hindering my actual social skills and is serving as a distraction from the things I genuinely enjoy and the responsibilities and the goals...

Hi there guys! So I've been on and off NoFap for a few years with little success until very recently. I have been perusing the benifits and it seems like if you actually do nofap then it is supposedly supposed to help out with focus in social sitsuations, as well as work sitsuations. I'd like to...

Hey there guys! So, I've had this problem of social anxiety since I've been a teenager, and right along with that, I've also been pmoing to some pretty weird stuff. I have been trying to quit for about 3 ish years and have seen many benifit youtube videos and some of them include the...

*DISCLAIMER: I am not a sexist man, I don't hate women, I am an advocate of sex fairness, that both sexual genders are unique and have qualities, that men must treat women right, care about them and vice versa, I just want to understand this kind of situations and improve in social environments...

Buckle up it's a long one. Discovered porn at 11, viewed in some capacity it at least once or twice every week with rare gaps of a week, two weeks even sometimes 3 or so of no porn of any kind here and there. I'm 26 now and while there have been many girls and women over the years that I have...

I'm 19 years old, single, virgin, never had a girlfriend, I will admit that I am pretty confident in my hobbies, work, spiritual life and religious life, I am also pretty confident talking to men as well, but if I'm being honest I can't stop being shy around women (particularly bigger women.)...

Hi! Hope you all are doing great! I realized I have a minor problem. I've been dealing with my insecurities for years, and I truly feel like I made a progress. I feel better with myself most of the times, and I've become a very open person, I don't feel insecure talking to other people and...

Hey guys, I just wanted to ask for some advice. There might be some small triggers in the post. So, as the title suggests, I need help because every time sex is brought up in conversations i feel REALLY uncomfortable and i dont know what to do. The reason is because i've never been in a...

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...

Are there other things I can do to overcome Social Anxiety besides of NoFap and Meditation?

Ok guys I really need you all to come talk to me please. I've been on nofap for about 30 days now but every now and then I would come across some porn pictures and then look at them but leave right after I seen them. FOR THE MOST PART, I have been following PMO pretty well and I DONT SEE ANY...

It started when I was 11. It's been 12 years now, and I am going deeper and deeper into this pitfall called PMO. It is ruining my true potential, my social life and everything big things I could do. I have now decided to finally get a solution and quit this devilish thing once and for all. I...

Hello everyone! In the last two jobs I have had it's like everyone eventually figures it out and I don't really know how. I guess it is because I never talk about anything related to sex and if someone I am talking to brings up that topic I try to end the conversation. I need to become more...

Hi all, I am a university student who will graduate within the next two years. One year ago, I stopped going on some "sites", and got a relationship fairly quickly after (with someone I've known since high school). Nowadays, it's excessive M that I'm battling, as well as intrusive P thoughts...

I'm 20 years old, never had a girlfriend out of lack of confidence to try (can't get rejected if you never try mentality) and started NoFap out of curiosity about a month ago (worth noting that before starting it was about once every 3 to 4 days). Before starting, I wasn't particularly anxious...

Hey guys, I've found this advise very useful for approaching anxiety. I spent almost all of the past year watching 2 girls (one that works at my gym and one that works at my college's library) that I really really really wanted to talk to. This year, I've talked to both of them, I introduced...

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...

hello! I am a student that is about to go into college and I am in need of help. I have been a PMO addict for 5 years and I want it to stop. I have tried every way of stopping this addiction but it is so hard. I am socially awkward and I feel depressed all the time about this. My goal is to...

Hi guys, I have been trying to abstain from pm and edging. My situation these last several years is that for the most part I have been socially isolated. My family dynamics aren’t the best, and friends from high school who I don’t get along with anymore I have left behind (I realized they...

So I got a call from an agency about work and because it's the end of the cruise season they've invited me to go out for drinks after. It's a bit weird since I've yet to work for them yet, but they've still invited me. I'm a teetotaller but I guess I could go if there's non-alcoholic drinks...

My name is David and I have been watching porn for about 7 or 8 years now. I never really thought I had a problem until now. I started when I was 14 just out of curiosity because I was young and going through puberty. It wasn’t often. Maybe once a month if that. It never really got out of hand...

I finally decided to join NoFap. I have been trying to abstain from porn and masterbation from starting of 2017 and succeeded for quite good amount of time though relapsing to sexual imagery or youtube contents intermittently. The TV series and online games took the position of sexual stuff and...
