    I just wanted to say how NoFap has helped me with my loneliness.

    I got to the end of a messy relationship where my girlfriend was very demanding of my time and energies. When we broke up, I was almost friendless, and my social life was non-existent. I was actually very lonely.

    About one week after not PMO-ing I found that I just didn't have that feeling of loneliness anymore. It is hard to describe, but when I woke in the morning, instead of feeling lonely, I felt as if there was someone with me almost all the time. I realised that I had to make more friends and have a social life, but I didnt have the lonely ache that comes from feeling lonely.

    My only speculation on this is that every PMO session might have reminded me of the fact that I didn't have a partner. Also, it was almost like the porn on the screen was like a black whole that sucked out all the energy from me. And, of course, PMO is almost always a solitary activity.

    Yeah, I've also found that NoFap makes it easier to cope with being alone, easier to realise that it isnt all bad and that being positive (or at the very least motivated and disciplined) is a much better way of making progress than relentless negativity. NoFap allows us to get in touch with our emotions but its up to us to keep them under control.
