Hello

HumanFurniture · Aug 27, 2019

I am 36 years oId. I'm doing Nofap because I would like to make friends and have a woman in my life. I have been alone all my life. It gets lonely coming home to an empty house, the phone hardly ever ringing, and mostly just having the walls to talk to. I hope that Nofap will help boost my sense of self worth and that this will help me make more friends and get a significant other. I have also heard of the magnetism that can happen with nofap. Being that I have severe social anxiety, it is hard for me to approach and deal with rejection so the idea that there might be passive way to attract women sounds appealing. I also hope that Nofap will help give me the courage to deal with some health procedures coming up.

I've done Nofap in the past. My first time was in 2016. This was also my longest streak. I gave up about 31 days in as I stopped feeling the surge of energy and hope that I did in the beginning days. It just petered out. I'm trying again though. I've tried many other self-help concepts but this one has done the most for me the quickest. Maybe I just need to ride out the lows a little longer. I'm trying harder to avoid things that can trigger me and make me feel like giving up. It is hard trying not to look at women even out in public and to keep the television off.

My current attempt began at 10 am on August 14 of this year which makes me 13 days in. I'm doing no p.m.o.. I will see how long I go. I'd like to try for 90 days and then maybe masturbate weekly just to get a release. I will see how it goes.

I look forward to talking with you all.

Try some mindful meditation my friend, if you have time get into volunteering and social work. Godspeed to you my friend but use the bad and turn yourself. Seek and you shall find your savior.

All the best

I have tried mindfulness meditation, and it doesn't work. If I have an urge, I can't bring myself to focus on my breathing or to just "watch" the urge. And I get caught in the loops when I try to clear my mind. Such as with thought labeling("I labeled a thought now I have to label the thought labeling the thought, labeling the thought . . .") There is also this zombie effect or even flashes of anger afterwards

Heyyy welcome to the NoFap forum : ) It's nice to see you here fighting the good fight alongside us!

Here is just some advice:

First and foremost please take a look at each section in the forum, there might be something(s) you may find of big help to you. Feel free to post there :+)

Then secondly I just strongly advise you to be active on your profile(as there quite a few active people in the profile section). Please start by choosing an avatar and then make daily status posts to show you're active and needing support/encouragement. They've also got a neat little feature that shows freshly posted statuses for all users to see. People will find your profile and give you encouragement/support.

People (are beginning to) love communicating in the profile section..(it should be and is )mostly spportive talk but it doesn't hurt to deviate from supportive talk. It would be great to have you join in and support others in the threads, profiles, and journal, we could always use your help and in return you shall receive some as well!

Thirdly, You should also highly consider creating a public journal and write about your days in more depth for us members to follow along your journey and offer support to you by way of posting in your journal.

Last but not least: Good luck on your journey here, make sure to really give it a try with all your heart!
