Starting to feel some positive effects

Two weeks ago, I was getting a little frustrated because I felt like nothing was changing, even though I had gone 18 days without PMO, so I relapsed (no P, just MO). But after yesterday, when I carpooled with a very beautiful girl to go to a training class for this volunteer work I'm doing this semester at college, I realized that I am definitely starting to have more self confidence. I used to not be able to talk to girls, or guys, at all, and yesterday we talked for a whole hour between driving there and back. I got home and couldn't believe that I had actually done that, especially with such a nice, pretty girl that I think I may have feelings for.

Also, though this may seem like nothing to others, I have been sending a lot more snapchats to my friends lately. I had downloaded it a while ago because one of my friends asked me to, but I never really sent anything, only looked at the ones people sent me. The reason for that was because I was so self-conscious that I didn't feel comfortable sending pictures of myself to even my closest friends. Lately, though, I haven't been embarrassed at all and have been sending pictures and videos like they're nothing. Again, this may seem like nothing, but I am very proud of myself for it.

So basically, if you are just starting nofap, or even are a few weeks in, don't get discouraged if you don't see life-changing results. They will come, albeit they may be small victories at first. But if you think about it, those small victories really start adding up, and a snowball effect happens. I am excited that I'll be carpooling with that girl nearly every Saturday for a month or two, and in that time I might even ask her out. I would have never imagined that I could talk to a girl, one one one, for an hour, but I did. So please just believe in yourself and the nofap cause and you will see results.
