    A lot of "excuses" are valid reasons due to social circumstances. Not everyone is comfortable with telling their friends that they are doing nofap, and if you deleted your social media out of the blue, they'd probably question you. Sure, you could lie, but a lot of people are doing nofap out of already wanting better morals, so you'd basically just trade one evil for another in that circumstance.

    Not all things are cut and dry, a lot of people really do just need social media for their work, friends, and family, whether that's a good thing or not. Due to the nature of what NoFap even is, it isn't something people need to share, or really should feel comfortable sharing since it should be a personal passage.

    I'm just taking that as more excuses m8.

    Sorry to be stubborn about this but I down right disagree that social media is necessary for anything.

    "If you deleted your social media out of the blue, they'd probably question you"

    Ok - so answer: "I'm growing up, becoming more mature, and leaving that shit behind, so miss me with it."

    That's like the guy the other day who was whining about being suicidal and feeling super low about his life and then he's like "im a vegan" and I was like "bro eat meat" and he's like "lol no" and i'm like... ok but you're crying about how shitty you feel and you want to die? This is another example of people just making excuses to fail because they don't want to actually make changes.

    Take it from me man I've been crying on the internet about my shitty life for like almost 8 years now nothing changes until you change it yourself,

    Saying "Instagram is the way I communicate with people I know" well MAYBE learn how to communicate with people in a more effective way IDK...... porn addiction doesn't exist in a vacuum like people seem to act it is a syndrome of a whole host of other maladaptive behaviors and coping strategies and one of the most effective is DENIAL.

    If you need to carefully censor your main means of communication to block out softcore porn triggers so you don't f*** masturbate... then your primary means of communication is DYSFUNCTIONAL.
