    So I'm on day 3 nofap hardmode. It's my third try of nofap first was 7 days another one was 17. I've seen that viedo on YT where dude said that day 3 is bad (it was Scandinavian Bob), but never felt it before.
    So today I woke up early, and had no energy. Just wanted to play video games all the time, but I forced myself to make my daily routine consisting of few pushups, cold shower and meditation. It was hard, but I managed to do it. So I thought "oh, i did something I can play now", but instead of that I went out to the gym, and made 1h of cardio. When I was at the gym I was feeling extreme social anxiety, tried to be not as anxious as always, even forced myself to say "hi" to some guys, and not looking down. I think there are two options either I started noticing my behaviour which was considered "normal" until now and my brain is trying to retreat, or something else is going on. I think that I should do something to socialize but something is blocking me ;/ So I've spent most of my day playing games (after what i described above), with an exception of a bit of learning for my driving license theory test.

    So my question is, is it normal? On the one side, I'm doing much more than before, on the second, I feel like I'm doing too little. And I have no idea what do do. Should I be kind to myself and focus on nofap to gain more energy and then go for socializing, or should I force myself to do something even though I don't wanna?

    Btw. since english is not my first language, I hope it's understandable.

    Hello , it is my first day of my second official NoFap journey , on my Fisrt try on fourth day , i felt incredible fatige and tiredness , as if i hadnt slept for two days , which was very weird ,i also relapsed on that day , keep tight , It's all normal and will pass ,your brain is just playing games and trying to deceive you to relapse . i also had video game addiction , Although your life decisions are none of my business ,i Strongly Advise you to not play video games , i dont know much about you , but Games and PMO addictions always went hand to hand together for me .If your Video Game thing is obsessive , it is also making your prefrontal cortex weak and unresistant to dopamine , i have masturbated to porn for 9 years from puberty till nowadays , and have played video games since i was 3 Y old(im 22 now) obsessively . Every fucking time i played video Games more than one hour , shortly afterwards i gave into PMO .
    if you want to go on clean with your life , you should clean all aspects of it , if Even the idea of wholly giving up videos games come across to you as ridiculous , irritating , maddening or frustrating. you re probably also have stuck in Video game addiction too and you should also take that into consideration. Giving up all your addictions simultaneously may come across as radical and counter intuitive but believe me it is the only way to prevent relapses , This approach will be possible only if you Set up some Real life long goals and have some vivid visions of how you want to shape your future . i dont know about breaking your comfort boundary though, i would push it but not much to make feel frustrated and make you relapse again , i would try to regain my energy and go after my own goals without engaging more unnecessary people in my life ,but again that depends if your introvert or Extrovert , i would focus mainly on rebooting tough , the Energy and people would come to you naturally as you recover as i heard and Read.i wish you best of Luck with your journey.

  3. Wether or not it is ‘normal’ is maybe the wrong question. Certainly its common. You sound very much like my son, who is 16. I think filling your life with more positive things will help you not masturbate, and not fapping can help you have more energy. Great job hitting the gym. Keep it up. Running makes my life so much better. I struggle i. The winter when it is cold and dark, so I know some of what you are feeling. It is always worth it though. A very few people really are happy with very little socializing and few friends, but that is rare. Finding friends, especially if you can find friends who also support the idea of nofap, can help you in so many ways. As a father, I am inclined to agree with the guy above: video games could be a problem behavior. There is some interesting research about their effects. But you can maybe turn it to a strength. Gaming with other people can be a great way to make friends. My family are pretty needy, and we like RPGs. We’ve made an effort to play less electronically and more with actual people. We’ve gotten heavily involved with pen and paper RPGs and trading card games—not as addictive as their video game versions, but so much more rewarding socially and emotionally. Meetup.com and gamestores have been a great resource for us. My oldest never had the confidence to just meet girls and talk to them. But when he’s gaming, he doesn’t feel shy and he’s been getting to get to know several girls, and is slowly developing a good friendship with one in particular. As a parent, I love seeing how happy it makes him. Wishing you all the best in finding happiness for yourself too. Hang in there.
