    I really like a quote from Jean Paul Sartre:
    “If you're lonely when you're alone, you're in bad company.”
    We need to learn not to make our happiness based on someone else.

    For sure. Its like if when you are with someone for a very long time you create a comfort zone I would say its nature evolution related. Like you dont need to evolve to reach an objective anymore, some girl or happier emotional status so we settle in mediocrity.

    There are so many options in this planet, that its even irrational for us humans to think it wont be someone else, but we always do :/

    Sorry I dont usually write a complex things in English

    Have you heard about chaser and Coolidge effects? The energy that your body gives you after sexual long time waited sexual activity and the desire to find new partners, so I have read they might be related to higher self development men can achieve after a breakup and being alone and abstaining

    Try to follow the YouTube channel 'Mensutra' by Swatab Genguar. You will definitely find videos on your topic and u will surely get motivated and find the energy to move on from problem

  5. Yes, getting energy from the chaser effect is a bad idea, because

    then you have just used P, M or O to get it.

    The Coolidge effect is probably what brings that sex drive you speak of.

    Harnessing that desire for variety sure got me cranked up when I first started.

    firstly i am proud of where u got, u fought many hardships and i hope u continue to be strong! You are right, i need to focus on my goals, i am waiting for my exam results (i think they will be good) then i can continue with my next steps and hopefully after the quarantine i will meet a lovely girl, i am a patient person so i am not in a hurry, i have waiting more than 6 years already hah ;) i am beginning to feel more and more confident with the days passing now, and started again nofap, day 3 now.

    her physical contacts with me were so different than our contact through texts so this is what made me linger for longer than i should. But i would be a liar to say that if she spoke to me now, that i wouldnt give her another chance, even if that sounds stupid :(

    but i know it will never happen because for so many years i havent seen her in person and i removed all social media so there is no way she can contact me unless she somehow gets my new number which is very unlikely

    life goes on, when quarantine over i will surely meet a lovely girl at university but i shall not let this make me unfocused on my work

    ok thank you i will check it out
     
  10. I would suggest doing a full 90 day non PMO reboot before you start looking for a girl.

    It's kind of hard for younger guys to understand. I probably wouldn't have understood.

    But, if I could go back in time, I would have used my late teens/early adult years to

    reboot and set up my life, and take a few years doing it.

    If you don't know your life's mission yet, now is the time.

    If you do, then maybe it's time to make some progress.

    Because if you get with a girl now, and things don't work out,

    you could end up back on the PMO,

    which messes up the trajectory of a good future.

    Think about it.

    Hi. Since you got so much time trying to overcome your rupture, maybe you should find some psychotherapeutic help. I read a lot about it because I'm kind in the same way with my ex gf.
    And as a latino, I also recomend you to read this article: https://exploringyourmind.com/get-away-ex-according-walter-riso/

    It's about a book from an argentinian psychologist, Walter Riso, who especializes in breakups, emotional dependencies, etc.
    The name of this book is Now That I’ve Said Goodbye, How Do I Forget You?

    I'm thankful that I could have this resource in my worst moments after my breakup. Last day I was thinking that it is sad that there isn't a lot of this kind of forums in spanish (like NoFap); and with a scientific background like this one there is none, so I'm thankful that I can read and speak in english.
    So I'd be kind of happy if this book, written by a latinamerican psychologist, can help you. He's a very inteligent man, and also approach this theme not just from the scientific perspective, but also by a philosofical perspective and in a way that's very profound but also very easy to understand.
