    Will we have normal dopamine etc signaling even so we can feel happy as normal people . I have been rebooting for 3 yrs but still not able to feel happy even though brain has recovered alot .
     
  2. Yes, it becomes easier to feel an ambient happiness, just with normal daily life.

    Because the dopamine isn't yanking the emotions around, when it receeds and causes anxiety.

    And when I look at women face to talk to them my Brian gets buzz like heavy head , I feel so low , can't talk to people , thought don't come . Is it due to pmo pathways activated whn I look at their faces . If I keep looking at them for longer while I talk to them it gets more bad .

    Are you saying you haven’t looked at porn or masturbated even one time in three years?

    and you are still feeling bad effects?

    Yes
     
  6. You have a confidence problem. That's ok, you can fix it. Confidence is built through work, effort and achievement.
     
  7. How long have you been in nofap year wise? Also how long and how much you were addicted??
     
  8. I did my first streak in 2018. I'd never heard of NoFap before then. I've done 4 full hard mode reboots since, including the one I'm on.

    I was 43 back then, I estimate that I was addicted for 28 years. Pretty much daily use of pmo.

    It's not about confidence. It's like dopamine rush mayb in Brian. I get mood swings still whn my Brian picture a women's body even for a second
     
  10. The question was for OP but I'll address your answer.

    You said 4 full hardmode. But how many days of hardmode for each??

    Do you feel closer to healing than farther??
     
  11. You probably need 1 or 2 years hardmode to completely heal I guess. However it will depend of how much or many years you were addicted. Also the type of contents you were consuming.

    Maybe my main issue is when I look at women face to talk to them I get rush in Brian, thn my Brian start to feel low .do u know why it happens
     
  13. I never encountered such issue while in nofap. However I used to have brain throbbing or tingling if I saw a woman dancing in a provocative way on TV.
