    It will help you.

    No more shame from binging on porn all day and fapping off.

    Conserving your semen raises your testosterone and energy levels.

    This will make you more driven which in turn will make you more confident about going out and socialising.

    Short answer: It can't, not alone.
    Longer answer: NoFap reboot period will help you to rebalance your brain chemistry, so you can start resolving your underlying social anxiety issues. Symptoms might get even worse when you go through withdrawal and PAWS before it gets better. You should implement regular aerobic exercise and weightlifting 2-3 times a week, 7-9h of regular sleep, enough sun, Omega3 fatty acids and healthy diet into your program, plus start with cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) if it's available to you. Slowly you will get less and less anxious with human interactions as you see progress you're making and you'll get fitter and better looking as a bonus. Take NoFap just as one of many important steps to improve your self-esteem and confidence.

    I wonder if I have social anxiety.......because I only feel self concious and akward in public places.. not feel like others say ( sweating , rapid heart beat) I can talk confidently when nobody's focus is on me... I am funny ... but when anyone focus on me ... I feel excessive self conciousness and become akward......is there anything to do with brain chenmitry.... because i used to masturbate... 5-6 time daily since 14 years of age... now 23 y o ..

    Social anxiety is caused by 1. low self esteem Or 2. not being sure of what to do in social situations and scared youre making a fool of yourself.

    If your cause of social anxiety is caused by 2. Then you can solve it by going out and talking to people and learning how to act on social ques. The more you do it the better you ll get.

    If its caused by 1. For examples you feel anxiety because people are looking at you and you feel they are judging you cause youre ugly, boring, insert negative thing you say about yourself, then you need to do some self reflection. Low self esteem is a mental thing. No one is perfect so its unreasonable to force those kinds of expectations on yourself. Its honestly charming to meet someone who has the humilty to accept their flaws and own it.

    Edit: i think why nofap helps people with social anxiety is that people who felt ashamed that they spent last night jacking off to some strange fetish dont have to feel that way anymore. They can look people in the eye without feeling like their hiding a dirty secret.
