"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

NOFAP MONTH OF JULY.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

From my experience, @stringpuller, relapses will happen. The important measure of progress is that the distance between relapse and maintaining NoFap is that the distance gets further and further with a discipline to where you can control your impulses and channel that energy into better productive activities.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Good luck, @Infern0. There's no shame with seeing a therapist.

Mine helped me earlier this year overcome deep seated rejection issues in the spring of this year.

I'm not 100% "restored", yet I'm finally getting to the state of zero fvcks given if a plate jumps branches or channels low interest my way. Fvck it.

Finding contentment in my own life, hobbies, social spheres, gym routine, work, and career transition.

day32 :)

Day 25 (almost 26)

Feeling a lot of changes, mental clarity is becoming very pronounced.

I have decided, to pursue nothing with women until 90 days, which will also be around 10 therapy sessions for me.

I have realised my motives in the persuit of women are not healthy, and i am not authentic.

This is going to change.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I'm trying to give up hardcore porn once and for all. Have relapsed twice this month. It's gotten to the point where I can't get aroused by porn unless I'm watching abuse/simulated rape clips. It is disgusting. This **** will rot your brain and give you the most demented thoughts. Hopefully, shaming myself on here will finally encourage me to get my act together.

Can you elaborate on this authentic comment? Im interested in hearing about that.
A lot of my old childhood trauma is still there, im trying to get girls to fill a void or to make myself "look better" and as a result the women im drawing in are a similar internal quality to myself.

Im having therapy now to get rid of the trauma stuff which i have only had 2 sessions so far but already has been groundbreaking.

I want to actually have decent relationships with decent women in the future, im tired of ons or flings with daddy issues girls.

I never went down the rape route but extreme stuff and abuse stuff was where i ended up. It's unbelivable the damage that stuff does to you so do your best to get free of it

Allowed my self to relapse yesterday. I'm going to go NoFap again in August. Congrats, @narcissist for making it as for as you did. 60 days ain't easy man.
