    Hello guys, i contemplated alot through how was my lofe going before me going deep into my addiction and after it, and i discovered two things. First, before me being so deep in porn addiction when i was 13 up to 17 years old, i was satisfied with my identity in general. That means i was satisfied with my social circle, my hobbies, my lifestyle, and the values i stand for and apply in my life. Second, after me realizing i was so deep in this addiction and i started to abstain from porn and masturbation i discovered how i lost my identity or forgot to recreate a proper one which fits my age and my values. Now i can say i’m not satisfied with my social life as i barely have friends and can’t form new meaningful friendships, as well as no best friends at all. Could you guys help me on how to recreate my identity in order to find similar minded friends i can connect with and solve this issue of mine?

    It takes time man. Friends come and go. Even best friends can drift or appear out of nowhere. What I've started to do is look myself in the mirror, not to be vain, and not for too long, but enough to practice a smile or a phrase! It helps with the social part of things slightly over time. Makes you think - PMO has bad effects, huh? That's my only advice, best of luck!

    Your post made me realize that we may not have to talk to a mirror our whole life! Maybe just for a boost to recover what we lost.
