Social anxiety

@Flossy Carter I am not expert but I have read a lot of reports in the success section of the forum from the people saying that their social anxiety is gone.
However, I wouldn't put so high expectations on NoFap, because it is with you for a very long time.

One thing is certain, NoFap increase your confidence and with the increased confidence you are better when interacting with people. So, with a that confidence boost you can definitely improve a lot in social situations and maybe even get rid of that anxiety.

Also, 30 days is not enough time for most of us to recover. Take a look at this https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/30-days-reality-check.73580/
I am on 33 days and I far from the recovery, but there is hope and I am sure that things will improve in the future

 

Go do things where you are most likely see the same people on a consistent basis. After a while everyone gets comfortable with each other. I am the same way. But after two or three visits the anxiety will dissipate.

 

Yes, that is called exposure therapy. But I doubt that social anxiety will go on it's own just because he has stopped PMO.
NoFap gives up boost but we have to put some effort.

 

@Flossy Carter Here you go, fresh success story https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/41-days.73852/
check it out and maybe ask @Dave m a question or two

 

Carter, masturbation to orgasm is known to cause social anxiety in some people...so stopping the behavior will help in all cases.

Also, some authors link mood swings as a cause of chemical imbalance in the brain after orgasms....

 

Actually orgasms are amazing. Just not the solo kind. There is the need of the power of touch thrown into the mix. In other words you need another person involved. Or two. Haha. There is a powerful invigorating affect with touch. We all need it but never spoken about.

PMO has an instant gratifying but imploding affect I have come to learn. Gives you that calm temporary fix but it is destructive in a subtle sense. You get lazy and you disconnect. Also you don't need and want to go out and explore/discover and to connect with others.

If you guys are in your teens and 20s get rid of this NOW and resolve this ASAP. Don't let your hormones and natural tendencies to weaken and disrupt you.
