THE DUELS OF NOFAP: NO PMO TOURNAMENT | OPEN FOR ALL

you're up against @CoolBuddy7 , check updated list lol. @Topes is against @QuietKarma

 

agree completely.

 

social media has fucked up a lot in society inadvertently in my opinion. It kind of killed a lot of normal interaction as well like there's less need to talk in person or meet so less people do but I think a basic human want is to socialise and instead of normal face to face interaction everything is easy and online. Along with that the idealistic body as you say and I'd say even shit like on instagram for people, honestly the more you reveal of yourself the more likes you get. As well as that people can take 50 selfies and choose the best one so when they see themselves in a photo taken by another person or whatever it makes them think they're ugly. I prefer community based interaction like this one which is actually beneficial and everyone seems great in here.

 

you should be scared I'm very highly motivated to kill this habit.

 

adding to that I think as long as you work out for yourself and not to impress anybody. Stop caring about how you look for others, instead do it for yourself and be content that you look fine then that's a better way to view 'looks'. I hear so many people talking about gym nowadays ,which is good, but how they've been working hard on a particular part of their body just not for their own health but just to show it off. Kinda seems dead in my opinion I've just became content on making myself look good for myself and not to impress anybody and it feels good. Might've repeated myself there a bit but I've done that recently and I've found myself just thinking looks really don't matter, we're all gonna be wrinkly one day so fuck them, just look good for yourself till you're happy.

 

have a nice weekend too! take care and fight strong.

 

I think generally society lacks this nowadays. That's why I value this really highly like it's the best thing I've joined in my life and it's helped me from not being able to complete a day of no PMO to making a few seem easy which is big for me. The goal obviously is to make that counter last forever which I really feel I'll achieve but it's a battle so I have to stay alert.

 

I hope that your condition improves. I think the last sentence you said sums a lot of life and humans up. I really think as humans we're always looking for something to comfort us or to just spend our energy on, maybe subconsciously. We're obviously built with curiosity while we look for things that appeal to our basic human needs and wants. In turn I think elements of social media and many industries take notice to this so a lot is designed to make us find that which we want but it's smart so we can end up scrolling hours on it just looking at shit we're half interested in or other people's lives. Or we can end up looking for that in food, drugs, alcohol, clothes, goods or sex and it can go deeper in trying to find it in a relationship. Due to our curiosity, I don't think we'll find what makes us content, a real grand scale purpose in this world because it isn't there at our level. Our purpose has to be greater than something that is just a mere creation of someone so I think our purpose is to find our link to God, why we're here and realise to we've been given free-will and malleable intelligence (both separates us from animals) so to devote that to him. We've all been given free will and we're looking for something to spend that on so to devote that to God, one God, who is supreme, who has no weak attributes like being birthed or been given birth to, who is unlike anything we know or can even imagine, who is everlasting and exists outside the confines of time. Everything in life then is given a context, for me anyway. You're welcome to disagree but that's my view, I believe in God exalted above.

 

really true, I haven't thought of it that way in terms of with other human beings at all that's cool. Yeah like appreciate even just the chance of having this thread and being a part of it, even going on nofap and hearing about it, crazyyyy.

LIKE, ive run out aswell

 

Yeah I do physics at university and some of the stuff they say it's like they give excuses to not link it to god, the precise location of the earth so it's not too close or too far from the sun one for example. So many signs of God's existence.

 

Yeah this thread is great, thanks for listening aswell I think about this a lot to myself.
