    I think There are many people incloding me who scared to experience life. I mean we allways try to escape from life refuse to deal our problems this might be escaping to tv, junk food, and of course porn. I stop watching tv for 4 months now. Its hard getting from passive mode such as masterbute to porn and watch tv so you get the dophamine without any effort to active mode getting things done and get out of your comfort zone, espcialy if your circumstances are not the best, but you have to do this you must go through your difficuties and your pain beacuse life is not just about satifaing your self there is also pain and hard times in life sometimes you up and sometimes you are down that full experienced life. So for me porn and tv are part of my escaping paths from the pain in my life that's a big reason why i want to quit porn.

    This has definitely been me in the past... I have always been planning for the future and have a list of things that I want to do or experience but it has always been a case of "oh, ill wait until I have XYZ until I do that" or "i cant do that until I have a girlfriend coz I cant do it on my own".

    Examples are things like travelling to places or holidays or just taking the first step to try a new hobby. If im honest, part of me putting things off comes from being afraid to live life or being afraid to fail.

    Ive been working on improving myself in this area for the last 6 months and 2015 is definitely going to be more focused on doing things that make ME happy. I have started to look at booking weekends away and holidays on my own, I have just today joined a new gym as I outgrew my last one and been meaning to do for a while which feels great to have finally done it... who knows, I might meet someone special or make some new friends during these activities but if not then at least I have the experiences to make me a more rounded person.

    Hopefully that is what you were getting at?! For me, its a slow but steady process as I don't want to bite off more than I can chew but im definitely making progress. I genuinely believe that not fapping and edging or watching porn is helping me grow in confidence and energy to try these new things.
