    Hi,
    So I’m not necessarily new to Nofap. I’ve seen the Ted talks and read countless of stories on the forums. I have actually tried for the last past maybe 5 years to do the reboot myself and relapsed constantly at the fourth or fifth day. My longest streak was 10 days last summer. I learned the ins and outs of how this community works and understand it completely. However, it isn’t till now that I understand why I personally have succumbed to this vicious cycle. I started fapping and watching porn since I was either 11 or 12. I am now a 21 virgin (today’s my birthday actually). I realized that I used fapping as a form of escapism. I compulsively lied from the age of 12 to all my friends about my virginity status (other things as well for an ego boost) and to cope with the guilt I fapped. At a point in my life though it started to become excessive and in the way of my fullest potential and I know it. It may have started with the lies but then it slowly became a way for stress relieving. I have lost all my friends because of this and I have never confessed to anyone. I became completely socially isolated. I only have had 2 serious relationships but they failed because I lied about my virginity status. The other relationships also failed due to lying but for different things. Today I lost my best friend from 5th grade because of lying. However, I am three days in NO PMO. I just don’t know what to do anymore. The guilt is eating me away. I feel terribly lonely and depressed and this is usually the most vulnerable moment where I would boost myself by beating off. Please someone respond and help me. I’m a senior in college who has never made any real friends. I am planning to apply to graduate school out of state in order to help me find myself. I think this is what’ll help me achieve a new life and a restart. I just want all of this to end.I’d like to just lose my virginity for the hell of it at this point. So I can confess to my friends without being looked at as someone stupid and at least not a virgin.
    Suggestions ? Responses please... I do need help.

    Welcome to NoFap where you are amongst friends who are here to encourage you and sometimes challenge you but not judge you.

    The enemy is here to steal, kill and destroy. What are your current strategies for combating the enemy called PMO?
     
  3. Damn, dude, what a sad story. But you're among those that will help and support you. If you want, you can create a journal so others can track and support you. Know that if you want others to support you, go and support them. Give a little to recieve a little.

    You know what it is a sad story. That being said, LiquidShoes after posting this and letting some time fade by I realized those weren't really good friends anyway. Not one of them realized that today was my birthday, not one message was received by even my so-called "best friend". They all are doing drugs and drinking their livers out, so you know what, I learned that this may be the consequences of my actions. However, maybe solitude is what I need right now. I plan to move on and learn from this. I will work hard on achieving new and better friends and maintaining them. I'm going to leave this two-star town and achieve greater things in life. Thank you, though for reading my story.

    Sorry to hear. But, @Shaque118 you're on to something, I think. Good friends are great to have- sometimes hard to find and keep, though. Avoid the toxic!

    p.s. Your virginity is priceless. What a nutzo upside down world we live in that has a MAN who kept his *honor* and his integrity. What happened to staying pure before marriage? Any lady would be /highly/ privileged to meet and marry you. I mean, definitely clean up the other problems like you want to, but you being all for your wife would be absolutely ideal compared to so many that sleep around and act like it's no big deal.

    Anyhow, even if that's not your personal choice, just thought I'd stand up for what's right.

    I did. And before reading the other comments I wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY. :)

    Reminds me on a quote of Albert Einstein talking about the lone traveller he considered himself.

    I did - before reading the other comments. I really wish all the best for your new year of life. :)

    Maybe. Albert Einstein put it this way: Solitude is painful when one is young, but delightful when one is more mature.

    Einstein considered himself as a lone traveller and so do I. Sometimes it's hard not to have a companion, but most of the time I feel wonderful. Check out what feels good for you. Virginity in the age of 21 is great. Everything will come to you at the right moment. Be patient and trust.
