I'm a person who worries a lot in general. I wonder about what the other person thinks of me about 24x60x60 times per day. I'm improving a bit now but I've still got a long way to go. Today I was feeling down and opened NoFap when an acquaintance of mine suddenly came and looked over my shoulder. I was fast enough and managed to switch off the screen display but it was quite a shock. How many of you mind/ don't mind opening this wonderful site outside? I'd sure love to.
Great post.... Looking at a porn site in a public place could cause much embarrassment, and yet looking at an anti-porn site like NoFap might cause problems too. It seems the world cannot make up it's mind about porn. I haven't been in the situation yet but if someone says: What's that you're looking at? I'll boldy say... 'It's called NoFap, it's an anti-porn site... one of the few places that is doing something about the porn epidemic.' That's the plan anyway : )
Thanks! I agree, this world seems to have it's opinions on porn written in stone. People don't analyse whether their judgement on things is right or wrong, it's just based on the next person's. The guy who came up behind me might be a porn addict for all I know, but still I had to be the one to cower and give in. That's real cool bro! Hope I find the courage to say that someday.
Haha! I did that today, but it was a slightly altered version. I reduced the brightness completely and put my face super close to the screen and opened this site! Pretty sure I'd have got some weird looks from people! I've become addicted to NoFap, can't help it ; )
We got to get real about this.... whatever that guy was, addict or not.... you are dealing with your problem.. NoFap is the exact opposite of a porn site. There is not one damn reason we should cower in anyway about NoFap. Also I have found in public places where I live people do not give a shit what is on others screens, they just don't!
True. Thanks bro. The thing is, my nerves add a lot to any situation. I was on full alert today since I was opening NoFap outside and I don't think the people around me are open-minded. So it ended up like that. I'll make a slow start and someday when I'm more confident, I'd like to open NoFap without caring about others' judgements.
It was my 2nd week that I told my big brother casually about I was on NoFap's challenges. That was the first time I ever told anyone about it. He was proud of me actually. Around 3rd week I told my close friend, again just casually. He made a joke about me probably being insanely horny and we laughed about it, that's it. I sent a screen shot of my desktop with NoFap bookmark, to a girl. It's not possible to miss, it's named "NoFap". She didn't say anything about it, she didn't get weird after it either. We're talking with her on whatsapp right now actually. %90 percent of regular internet users are on PMO. Addicted or not. Me being not on PMO makes me cool. I feel cool that I'm a Fapstronaut. That's the truth.
Just the other day someone was using my tablet and I noticed nofap came up on the keyboard memory. Thought to myself - here's another thing I gotta figure out how to hide - and it's not even bad.
I can totally relate to that feeling bro. But I'm warming up to the idea that I'm doing nothing wrong by opening it in public, in the presence of others, so maybe I'll try out someday in the distant future!
Oh man! I can imagine how that'd have felt. I open it in private browsing and close them when someone arrives but I realized that's not enough when the list of open apps contained a miniature pic of this site. The worst part(or the best part? No idea) is that one of my family members might have seen it.
