Why nofap makes your emotions so strong? When im happy im very very happy and when im sad i will be very very sad. I always have mix emotions on day. I can be very happy and then sad. I'm lonely ,i have friends and family but still lonely...in meaning i don't have girlfriend but it did not bother me before nofap... emotions hit me crazy. Nofap is powerfull, is it all about dopamine? I did not sleep all day, go and worked 12 hours job and then go out with friends all night and still cant get tired. Before nofap i would go to sleep after job. Why nofap is so powerfull? Its just boost dopamine and thats just it?
Man this is my last post on this forum. I have more chances to get b******s from Ivanka Trump and Tiffany than get people to post here. Dead forum or people became too much selfish.
I mean, in general no one is obliged to reply to your post. I think this forum has gotten more popular and more threads are being created so people are less likely to respond especially in this category - loneliness, which is even less popular. most people post in rebooting/success stories etc.. I think the first thread in this category was made by me, or one of the first ones at least. Anyway, you shouldn't take it personally if no one replies to your post. In reply to your questions - yes nofap might give you a slight boost of energy and play with your emotions. Everyone gets hit different really. One big deal is that when you take away the addiction - Fapping for example your undealt emotions will come on the surface. This is normal since literally every addiction is a coping mechanism and used to avoid pain. Physical pain... Emotional pain... Mental pain... What my advice would be is just to observe yourself and why you are feeling the said emotions when they hit you. After and if you make sense of them make a conclusion and if you feel the same way again jump back to the conclusion again. For example if you've made a fool of your self in the past and that makes you feel bad in the moment - try to remember what got you there in the first place. If you know what you know now and go talk back to your past self what advice would you give him? Move on from the pst event and give this advice to yourself from now on and avoid the same situation As for NoFap and dopamine - it's more like taking away the high "dopamine" porn and fapping gives you it resets your neural circuits and you should be able to enjoy normal things better after the reset. That's my humble opinion.
What is the point of this community if we don't help each other and talk about this? I can see how much views topics get so people just ignore its not that they don't see because new things get up and i open topics in other sections too. Its same story. Nobody is obliged to post, sure, why are you here then if not for help and support? (Not talking to you but general) I saw posts and help others...but i'm not obliged right? Maybe i should delete most posts. Alcoholic guy wont get ignored in meetings, those guys all help each other. I feel awful and for others too trying to get help on this useless forum.
I agree, this should be a forum with a helpful community. And it is... for the most part. Always exceptions ofc. Even I don't reply to each thread I read/view, simply don't have the time and capacity to do so. Bet most people do the same. Reagrdless of whether they reply or not you shouldn't take it personal - just as you shouldn't take it personal when you apply for a job and they don't call back or when you text and woman and she doesn't respond. Yes, it would be amazing to have some feedback from the job rejection or the woman not texting back but that's just how the world works. You can't seriously expect everyone to reply to a thread in an anonymous internet forum about porn addiction. So don't overthink it. I'd suggest starting a journal or even getting an accountability buddy for a more personal approach perhaps? Again, that might not work for you and fair enough. Then the forum really would be "useless" since you didn't get use from it personally and that's why you can refrain from using it. I think the forum is OK can find interesting and useful stuff here and there. To be honest it's best if you don't constantly sit in this forum and do IRL stuff that are good for you. Go to therapy if needed, find new hobbies, get your diet and sleep straight, mend your relationships and form new ones. The most you can get out of this forum is general guidelines from people and cool/sad/fun stories. The only person who can help you is YOU. So good luck my man.
