Discussion in 'New to NoFap' started by Deleted Account, Dec 11, 2018.

  1. Ok guys I really need you all to come talk to me please. I've been on nofap for about 30 days now but every now and then I would come across some porn pictures and then look at them but leave right after I seen them. FOR THE MOST PART, I have been following PMO pretty well and I DONT SEE ANY CHANGES IN MY SOCIAL ANXIETY! wtf!! I am so confused! How long does it take because I see people saying their social anxiety was cured from nofap but now that im doing nofap mine is still the same infact maybe even worse!! I've looked into it and I see all these official websites from professionals and psychologists saying masturbation is completely healthy and natural, wont make social anxiety, and might even have benefits. But over here on nofap, everyone is talking about how not masturbating cured their social anxiety yet I havent seen ANY changes in that part of it which was the main reason I was gonna stop masturbating! But even now I'm STILL INSANELY SOCIAL AND AWKWARD AND SOCIALLY NERVOUS AND EVEN SHAKE IN PUBLIC SOMETIMES AND DONT SEE ANY CHANGES! someone please tell the real truth about all this PLEASE! HELP ME FR.
     
  2. Don't expect any changes. There are a lot of exaggerations to be found on this forum.

    Social anxiety is a very serious issue and will obviously not be healed overnight or in a month. Your anxiety may not have anything to do with masturbation and porn. Maybe you use porn too much because of anxiety, but the porn did not cause the anxiety.

    Masturbation is healthy if it is not excessive.

    Porn and alcohol are similar in a sense - both are socially accepted, and both drugs have people who get addicted to them. Both drugs also have users who can consume them without problems. You will find advocates of alcohol and you will find staunch opponents. The same with porn. You seem to have a problem, so you have to work on it regardless what other people say.

    Nofap can help you stay away from porn, so keep with it for a bit longer.

    I see that you are 18. PMO probably didn't cause your social anxiety but it won't help it if you keep doing it. I wish I had a supportive place like this when I was 18. We will be here to help you when you need help. But you must be willing to do your part. Be patient and stay strong my friend!
