14 Years is Too Long

Discussion in 'New to NoFap' started by Deleted Account, Aug 16, 2018.

  1. I am a 28 year old male. I started watching pornography when I was 14 and have been addicted to it ever since.
    I was always shy growing up but always had friends and a healthy social life until I started watching porn. My shyness evolved into extreme social anxiety and I started avoiding every and all social situations until I had no more friends and no more social life. My social anxiety became so bad at one point that I was too scared to even go outside.
    I am tired of watching pornography, i am tired of this social anxiety, I am tired of living with my parents at this age. I want to change, I need to change. My change starts here with quitting porn and masturbation.

  5. That was me ~1.5 years ago. Afraid and anxious to even go out buy some bread. 500+ days later, im a different person. I go to shops, I hang out, I go to weddings etc. I got more friends. Its incredible how damaging this addiction is.
    Good luck my man! Things are going to get so much better if you quit it!
