social anxiety

Maybe it isn't for ya, truly, idk. Even if I didn't feel a cut and dry psychological and physiological effect, which, for what it's worth, I do believe that beyond the placebo effect I do feel objectively more lively when abstaining from p., but regardless of that I also feel, well, just less guilty and shameful, which makes me more able to go out and participate fully in the world, doing the other things that make me feel objectively better.

I don't really have a strong ethical thing about morality, altho growing up in the Catholic church did some work on my subconscious... That being said, my honest opinion is that it's just... sad.. when that energy could be used to spend with other lonely peoples out there- Lord knows this century is chalk full of them at this point.

If ya don't mind me asking, and just shooting from the hip, what's one concrete step you could take toward a better life? Like, what's one sufficiently small step forward that would be toward a pretty sure good thing?

 

as someone over 2 years in, trust me it will get better. just trust the process, don’t relapse, the benefits will come in time. look into what a flatline is, be patient and have faith

no matter what, don’t relapse and keep working on yourself regardless of if things stay similar over the next few months. relapsing can only make you feel worse.

 

the benefits are real you just get used to them after and once you relapse you realize what you lost.

You need to do nofap as a bare minimum requirement. it should be the basis. it won’t fix all of your issues but without it your life will be a mess.

nofap is the foundation of the building, you still need to do lots of inner work alone on top of it. So do nofap and therapy!

 

Go nofap i have not found one person after 180 days who got social anxiety,

Its due neurotransmitters not due You.

 

I agree but 80% is neurological.
20 is exercise eating right and let your body heal.

The increase in confidence is not because you're exercising its because the neurotransmitters getting balanced. When i relapse it comes back. When i go far into the reboot its gone.
