It is so hard to continue with NoFap when I am constantly going through bouts of feeling lonely.
I am also finding it hard to cope with my friendships with my bros in terms of feeling a gushing sense of egotistical anxiety and jealousy when I see them getting into relationships with beautiful women whilst they brag about their sexual pursuits. Hence, I constantly choose to ignore their calls or to ignore any form of social media that would make me engage with them and feel crappy about myself.
This behaviour is nonsensical, I know, but I am not able to get out of this trance-like state, no matter how much I try otherwise.
And this does affect other areas of my life-such as studies and gym. I try to stay focused though, I must say. I get up everyday and work hard on my goals, but sometimes my train of thought takes me to a state of dread. I have also been doing meditation to be the observer of my thoughts-to not let the thoughts affect my inner state of well-being.
I know it is just a phase. I think I might be too harsh on myself in this instance, as all of my bros (as mentioned above) have a thriving social life. They go out every weekend and have a social circle that they engage with on a daily basis. Hence, the opportunities are there for them to attract and date gorgeous women.
As far as I am concerned, I have been pretty much locked up in my room since March as I have been working on some difficult academic goals, and I know that the opportunities aren't there for me to go out and do what I think is necessary. I know I don't have a problem attracting girls if I put myself in a social setting.
My problem, and therefore, my question is- how do I cope with this innate feeling of anxiety, restlessness, and jealousy whilst on NoFap during this phase of isolation?
