Hey there, today is my 14th day of NoFap and well... I’m pretty much not doing too good. I have not felt any positive effects of NoFap at all. Quite the opposite if I’m being honest. I do not feel extra motivated. I do not feel like my social anxiety has dropped. I do in fact have more problems talking to people in general and feel like shit most of the time. Now you might be thinking, it is only the 14th day you are not supposed to really feel anything yet but I’ve experienced this before at day 25. This demotivation lead to a relapse and I don’t want to let that happen again. Any advise/help you guys can give me? -Your Friendly homie
In my opinion, it's ok if you don't feel any benefits yet. As I recently experienced, my social anxiety started to disappear after one month of NoFap. I remember the days when I felt anxious af at university and classes! Constantly thinking of what other people think of me, hiding my face, walking fast, no eye contact. But now I don't even care about them! There are some practices to reduce social anxiety and improve your social communication skills, but they will never work unless you stay on NoFap and practice semen retention! Don't count days. Be busy! And more importantly, be patient!
