    I haven’t been in a relationship in a very long time, and the few times I have been, I don’t think it was real. None of them lasted very long and they all ended up leaving me. Since the 3rd one, which was the last, I have accepted the loneliness of not having anyone to talk to at any hour, and I have told myself that I’m fine being alone. Sometimes I have these feelings and emotions that I push deep inside because I have nobody to talk to about them or to let them out.. I feel like this loneliness is what has driven me deeper into my porn addiction and masturbation addiction. I’m not accepting this feeling of loneliness anymore, but I’m so used to it that I don’t know how I can break the cycle..
     
  2. I am here and we all are here for you buddy :)
    Loneliness.. i am going through this too.. just never let it beat you down and always try to find a new strategy for everything.. to be more socializing and to improve anything you want inside yourself!

    I can consider all these as they shall have a root that as a circumstance, we feel loneliness.
    Such as Nofap, our interests, society style, family's mood and situation.
    So as time moves, we feel we have to fix things which requires harder effort than before!

    Don't feel lonely bro, above everything, be your own friend, and then be more socializing to improve your lifestyle, and lastly choose your friends!

    How do you not feel lonely when you are lonely?

    What works for me:
    If you have friends try to hang out with them as much as possible so that your vibe of loneliness reduces. If you don't have any friends, seek friendships with people the bast way you can before seeking a relationship.

    Do the nofap ofc.

    Ask a girl out, or at least try to grow balls to.
    If she rejects you it might actually be more useful then not.
    Why: To give a punch to your ego because this is how we think when we are in a situations like yours: "You can't get rejected if you don't ask her out". (you know the meme).

    Once you are rejected for whatever reason you realize that you are still where you were
    even thou your crown just fell off. And that's where the magic happens :D

    Hope it helps.

    I am in the same situation. I felt very lonely, especially when I had started my Journey of NoFap. But now I feel ok. My self esteem is going up and I am feeling more energetic. Now sometime I go out in the market and just talk with random people or girl to socialize with the people. I am reading different articles and books to improve my social skills. Now a days I am reading two new books.
    1. how to win friends and influence people.
    2. The flinch.
    If you have time read these, It will help you in some way.
    Good luck.

    I feel you man. I learned to embrace loneliness as a way of life should PMO prevent me from having a relationship with a woman. I've never even been on a date or had a girlfriend before because I want to be rid of this addiction so I don't hurt any girl that I like because of my problem. However, I have realized over the years that seeking help and building relationships are an important part of breaking free from this addiction. We don't have to fight these battles alone, and that's what this website is about right? Don't beat yourself down and learn to use your time alone to find peace of mind; then go out and build relationships. The more you occupy your time, the less you'll want to fall into PMO. We are all behind you bro!
