    When i am on nofap and i still am.I go trough various phases. From a anxious phase of a couple weeks to a confidence phase then i start to question my self esteem out of nowhere. I have been on 100+ days streaks couple of times in a timespan of three years.

    Not fapping makes you hold lot of sexual energy inside. No porn and fapping means there is no release going on, so you either redirect that energy into something useful or try to get laid and thats where the mind games start.

    Tryin to get laid makes me face numerous things like approach and reject of women. You keep approaching and failing and really start questioning everything.
    Why am i getting rejected?
    Am i doing something wrong?
    Am i ugly ?

    Confusing

    Women are confusing me to the point i am doubting my own self esteem.After that comes the part you comparing urself with others and that really obliterates some of the self esteem i had.

    But i did not fall,i had blows here and there but i noticed that after ''i want to get laid to release sexual tension phase'' i got into a secure state of redirecting my energy into more important matters like study,work and sports.
    Anyone else feeling like this please comment below

    Thanks for reading
     
  2. I can relate to the pent up sexual energy, and that's coming from a married guy. We don't always get the sexual release when we want it, which is why it's so important to overcome the addiction.

    I too relate to the frustration of feeling unattractive at times. Why don't women like to talk to me? Why don't they even look at me in public? Again, I'm married so my situation is different from yours, but I definitely ask some of those same questions about why very few women are willing to even engage in conversations with me. I've since talked to a few women about this and their answer somewhat surprised me (although it really shouldn't have).

    The stuff you see in the movies (women going up to men and hitting on them) is for the most part bull crap. Most women get hit on dozens of times a day (yes... dozens) and are so sick and tired of it that they refuse to ever make eye contact or initiate conversations with men out of fear that they'll be hit on again. So don't feel too bad man, as men we can't understand how irritating it must be to have every guy that crosses you on the street or in the hall stop you to tell you (without any sincerity) how great you look, while having a creepy, horny look in their eyes (news flash to most men: you suck at hiding your horniness...and if she's 15+ years younger than you, that makes you an old pervert - there are many of those where I work).
