Did PMO start because of lack of friends?

You're not alone. Porn will make you become antisocial.

 

There's a strong correlation between PMO addiction and isolation. That's why social engagement is such an important part of recovering from it.

 

No, I also feel the same.

 

See you're not alone, we all feel the same.

 

I definitely became more isolated as a result of using porn (and drugs) I still had friends and worked and went to work parties and all that stuff, but I was never the one to instigate an outing, for me most of the time it seemed like a burden to you know 'go out and do stuff with other humans' because of where I ended up with my porn use I now have even less friends, well i have 2 friends basically that I trust. So now I'm working on re-building my social network after it all came crumbling down. It's tough but I think it's important to be social, go out with people, experience things, share experiences together, bond with each other.

 

Yes I'm in the same boat.

 

It did for me. I started showing up to fewer things, late, or not at all. When you stop showing, you stop getting invited.

Sometimes I used saving money or being tired as an excuse, but I know it was for porn, it hurts admitting it, but I have to.
