Lonliness, Friendships, and NoFap

I totally agree with this, speaking to what you have said and commenting without listening to the talk. We were created by God to have relationship with Him and our fellow human beings. Whenever this becomes disordered our whole state gets messed up. It is both a natural and spiritual consequence. There are countless scientific studies to support this... beginning from the need to interact with other humans from Day 1. If a baby does not receive touch it can die. You have volunteers who do this in hospitals for premature children... their chance of survival greatly increases. If a mother does not talk to her child ... the child can develop brain damage. Human touch has been shown to to mitigate stress and anxiety ... certain neurochemical pathways are activated that promote wellbeing. We all know what feeling when we receive a genuine hug... pat on the back or other forms of affection from others (not the fake hugs or touch from people you distrust which would cause tension of course). This makes sense since in the not so ordered past ... someone separated from their tribe faced almost certain death. I.E. separation promotes anxiety. I could ramble on but you get the point..

 

I listened to the video. It was excellent.
