    Hey umm this is my second post since I started which was 3 weeks ago to be honest I feel so depressed like i feel everything in my life has no meaning, I feel anxious around girls but I could talk to other guys normally I suppose it's overall better Then how I was when I was masturbating but I just feel like everyone around me are just nothing I have no friends, I've always been homeschooled my entire high school life I currently go to a night school class and there are girls there that are extremely attractive but I never end up talking to them and when I get home I feel all alone and stupid for not talking to them and I wait for the next day to talk to them but it never happenes and I feel stupid all over again. It makes me so frustrated to the point where jerking off feels right. Tell me what you guys think, thanks.
     
  2. Just need to get your priorities straight, bro. First of all, you don't need a girl to be happy. Secondly, girls poop and fart just like we do. They are just humans. No need to put them on a pedestal. If you like one, talk to her. No big deal if she shows no interest. You move on and keep going. There is someone out there for everyone. It is nothing to stress over. In time, you'll find someone you love, and she'll love you back too. For now, just focus on NoFap. Let sex and women be secondary. We've been conditioned by society as men to put women and sex as a priority. It's all bull shit, man.

    ''Jerk off feels right'' because it is something you escape from reality. What happens afterwards? Reality comes back stronger and slaps you harder. You feel more down and depressive. You need to face this shit bro! Keep going with your NoFap streak, you will be more aware of whats going on. It's all about losing connection to our own natures. You will find that connection through your journey, when you do, you will no longer need to plan or think how to approach girls because it will all become naturally. Dont let your guard down, dont focus on things you cant do right now. Stay Strong and Keep Going.

    I know how you feel. I've felt for a long time. As I have gone through days or months without Porn or masturbation. I noticed I talk to girls more easily. bomoti is right. it becomes naturally. Trust me look for these signs when you go for 3-5 weeks long of no jerking off. 1. girls will look at you differently. 2. people will touch you when they talk to you. Its like you start to attract people and not repel them. 3. you start taking care of yourself and your surroundings. 4. you begin to not care what people think. 5. your voice has more bass and authority. (which women take notice of)

    There are more benefits. Yo bro keep it up. I m proud of you, you're going to night school to better yourself

    I want to give you the best advice I can. When you masturbate or view porn. You repel people. when you don't you attract them. I don't know how that works but I find it to be true. Look up sexual transmutation. this will help you redirect your sexual energy into something else. by doing this you will be focus on getting something done. and your confident will be boosted.

    ever since I discovered that I started working out and on establishing a business. I hope this help bro. "Keep your hands off Willie, and you will get Jenny"

    Try to find things in your life that you enjoy and focus on that. If you have a hobby, now's the time to really dive into it. The personal growth and accomplishment you will gain will help propel you forward further. Focus on you right now. Take care of number one. Don't get bogged down in social pressures when you have all of this change in your life going on. When you feel comfortable with moving forward to the next step, take it gradually and ease into it. Your confidence is likely low right now but over time that will change. You just have to stay the course and gain some momentum.

    @Ahmed1998 Nothing worth achieving has ever been easy to achieve.

    Here is what helps me. When I feel sad, I think about nothing.

    Literally nothing. Which means, you don't think at all, you just observe unbiasedly.

    What you're experiencing is normal. It is your brain trying to reformat itself, it's chemistry has been out of whack for years and it is trying to reboot.

    Who says you have to talk to them ? Just do your thing man, not everyone's there to find a date. Either get the courage to ask or just do your studying, don't get stuck in the limbo.
