New to the community! Not thrilled for the experience but I feel the need for this!

Hello people,
I am a regular University student in a new country. I am 26 years old male and was introduced to porn in my 13 or 14 years of age. I was so shocked to watch it for the first time. It was so intense that everywhere I went I would think about it and how intense the feeling was and didn't know what to do about it. And then one of my friend explained what I should do about it and told me what jerking off was. I felt a relief at that moment. And soon I found that I would go to porn anytime I would find some time. Later on I started making time for that. This is how my addiction started.

Now a days, I find myself going to masturbation and porn every time I am stressed (minute or major), frustrated, alone, I have the urge to do it multiple times a day, sometimes when I am not feeling well, sometimes I do it just for the sake of doing it.

1. Being a student, Masters students it has been quite stressful for me to adapt to the new teaching techniques, deadlines and project deadline pressure. All this makes me feel low sometimes and frustrated and I feel like one way to get it all out is by masturbating. which gives me pleasure for a while but then I feel worse for masturbation.
2. People like my company but I try to push them away to jerk off on endless occasions.
3. I still don't know if it is addiction but I know it is something not very useful.
4. I run low on confidence when it comes to self expression and am ashamed when it comes to stand up for myself and I feel like I deserve it sometimes. And I think I feel that because of my faping.

I tried to quit this a multiple times and i go back to it all the time.
I would be really be pleased if anyone could tell if they ever faced this sometime.

Any suggestions of where and how to begin to stop this will be really helpful.

Thank you for your time fells.
