I am tired of always feeling nervous & feeling like I’m walking on eggshells, I’m tired of always feeling nervous when socializing with people. I don’t like to make excuses but it honestly is starting to affect my life. I feel like I can never relax and enjoy myself when I’m at work, I’m out in public doing errands, hanging out with friends. I feel like it sucks the life out of me
Hey Much Sauce, I hear you. PMO'ing does contribute to you being anxious around other people. If you spend some time away from it, you start to get your life back, as well as your confidence. Another thing that helps with social anxiety is being around people, and more importantly, being yourself. Almost forcing yourself to let go a bit and say that thing you want to say when you're with friends. At least that's worked for me. Cheers, friend.
Celebrities are people just like us. Everyone is a person. Put no one on a pedestal. 'Focus on the ride' when you take a walk. I love it.
Yeah it’s just hard because it seems nofap makes my anxiety worse before it gets better. Don’t get me wrong there is days and periods of time where I does go away but that is every now and then. Tbh I have never went past 90 days or have a clean streak I always end up peeking or edging sooner or later
