    I am 27 years old and I have never had a gf. Coz of nofap I am awkward around girls. I do talk with them but after few minutes I struggle to keep up the conversation and maintain eye contact and I behave awkwardly not knowing where to look while talking. I only have 2 3 close friends only.
    Since I started nofap I have been feeling more lonely as pmo was my go to thing when I was alone. Whenever I see couples hanging around anywhere I just hate to see them and feels so jealous. Becoz I also want someone to talk to and share my feelings with. The addiction of pmo makes me judge myself and it brings horrible thoughts like m gonna die alone and Neven gonna find anyone. It is just so hard that expressing feelings become difficult.

    I dont think that one still goes for 2018. The main influence is happening on social media and tv.

  6. I'm glad you are working on yourself. It's easy to think that some people are just naturally charming and socially able to succeed in relationships with others but I think it's a skill set. Keep working at it. Every interaction is a learning experience even if it doesn't turn out like you had hoped. Keep at it! You're on a journey and you can do this!

    I saw something on quora about a guy doing classical dancing lessons with his wife. Because of the big female to male ratio he had to dance with lots of women, they were all flirting with him and his wife got jealous.

    I don't know if you're ballsy enough to start dancing lessons (I'm not lol) but starting a mixed gender sport or other activity you're interested in where you can mix naturally with girls would help a lot I reckon.

    Mad respect for your day count by the way.
     
  8. Same here man; 28, virgin, never had a GF, went to a date or even had a kiss. You're not alone in this, some even have it worse. But I think as long as we keep working on ourselves and brake down blocks in our mind (which is really only reason why we are in this situation) and don't give up, it's just a question of time. Try to stay positive.
    2 or 3? That's a lot! Some people only have 1. And others, like me, they have none. So be grateful for having so many close friends!

    Hey brother, thanks for posting i am also in a similar situation. I am 32 and never had a gf. When you take away the porn you are left to feel the lonliness and need for conection. Im working on being able to have those those feelings and not go into depersonalization. Good luck on your journey
     
  10. I am about to turn 27 and I am in the same boat as you, it sort of fills me with a sadness when friends and family always ask where the woman is in my life. I also have about 2-3 close friends, 2 which are far away from me. I can understand as well as most other members of the community when you say expressing feelings become difficult. Someones I am worried that if I express my feelings too much or to the max I will permanently damage myself in the process,unable to fully recover. On my best days I realize that I can fully share my experiences and try not to take every detail to heart, a sort of calm release emotions. I hope this makes sense when you read this.
