Self-improvement or suicide?

*splutters out tea

How much time do you think not masturbating and going on porn binges takes? Yes, it takes time and effort to fully recover. But if it's time you want, you can stop wasting time and energy on porn TODAY. Even if you relapse - and, chances are you will, many times, before you find success - every time you go to the gym or read a book or ring a friend or cook some food - whatever - instead of PMO you have improved yourself a tiny bit, instead of degrading yourself a little bit instead. It's the opposite of what you say, in fact. You want to make something of yourself, anything of yourself? You don't have time to waste on porn and masturbation, my friend.

I second the advice that a daily reading habit is great discipline and, once you start, is very pleasant and enjoyable too. Find a short period every day when you wont be disturbed - the time you would usually spend jacking off is ideal - pour yourself a nice drink and read a few pages, then a few more. I like to alternate fiction and non-fiction alternate days - there are advantages to reading both. If you want fiction suggestions, best to start with the "classics" - anything youve heard of but havent read, they are usuallt famous for a reason and you can pick up used copies very cheaply. Then decide what ypu like best, do some amazon searches and before you know it you have a book wishlist to last a year or more.

No quick fixes in self improvement (suicide dorsnt solve anything), but start TODAY and you will begin to see small improvements very soon. Focus on these and the big changes will come.

 

Hard to tell whether this is a serious post or a troll post, but for the sake of helping people let's assume it is a real post. What I recommend you is to conduct some introspection to see to what extent your thoughts are in line with what is really true. Just by reading your post I can clearly see that you are thinking very negatively of some of your actions. We all have our struggles and nobody's life is perfect. But let me break it to you, those who say NoFap will resolve most of your issues are BS'ing you. What you could do is face your thoughts, constructively tackle them and move into the direction you want to move in. You are saying it is too late to be successful? Why is it too late? Will your success not matter if it comes later than you expected. If you at one point in your life can look back and view yourself as successful you are already five steps ahead compared to a lot of people.

There is just so many things wrong with your approach to life. I mean, I am not trying to be an A hole but honestly, do you realize how ridiculous this all sounds? Let me break it down for you.

20 years old and have not had sex -
Why is this so important to you? You know some people even deliberately do not have sex until marriage and are happier than they ever could be. If this is so important to you, then fine. But know that even if you have sex one 23 or 24 for the first time, there is nothing wrong with that (unless you think there is and assume you are a failure for not having had sex)

currently not in college-
Well let me tell you this, some of the most successful people on this planet either quit college or did not go to college. Now I am not saying you shouldn't go to college, but it doesn't define who you are. You can be successful and become the strongest version of yourself regardless of which decision you make. If you do not want to go to college, you could dedicate your time to learning a new skill or something else. Not being in college does not make you a bad person, besides: you can always decide to still pick it up again and get a degree.

still live with parents-
Do you have any other choice at the moment? I am 24 at the moment and still live with my parents. Do I feel ashamed of this? Maybe a little. But my financial situation is just not healthy enough to get my own place and this can be largely attributed to the current economy and studying costs. Does this make me a bad person and a failure? HELL NO! I need to get a job and start earning money and soon I will be able to get my own place. Remember, there is no shame in doing what is best for your financial situation. Other people can tell you that you suck because you still live with your parents, but they sure as hell have their own struggles and challenges as well. And hey, usually the people telling you these things do not exactly have their life together that well either.

at your age it is impossible to learn new things-
boy, this is SO RIDICULOUSLY WRONG. There is sense in the fact that as babies we pick up skills really fast, but dude! You know I have managed to learn four foreign languages just in my late teen and early 20's? It is so foolish to think that it is too late to learn. Even when we are 60 we can still learn, although it will be a little slower. I really recommend you to take a look at your own thoughts and consider how true all of it is.
