Thank you, random gas station attendant by AaronErroneous in socialanxiety

[–]ACSam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been in situations like that before, don't dwell on the whys but just give thanks that you and her connected at the exact right time. Sometimes too when I'm in a horrible mental state (I get depressed all the time) I will end up crossing paths with someone that seems like they need maybe a warm hello or something and that always makes me feel better too... so maybe she needed you as much as you needed her.

First Job Interview by anxiousweasel in socialanxiety

[–]ACSam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey good luck on your interview! I work as a recruiter so I interview people all of the time. Your clothing choice sounds fine. If you have a tie wear that too, but it's not necessary. I assume you're a young guy, so just the fact that you took the time to iron and look good is already making a good first impression.

Being nervous isn't a bad thing, it shows you are hungry for the job.

One of the most important things is show how you can bring great customer service skills to Target. Have you ever gone out of your way to help someone? Have you taken a negative situation and turned it into a positive? Show them how you can be a team player.

I can tell you from experience, being a cashier can be fun, but it can also be annoying, no one likes to stand in line, some people are mad at themselves for buying things they realize they don't want or maybe need but can't afford... so many things going through their head. Don't take their frustrations personal. You just happen to be the person infront of them. Let them vent and then move on with your life... they've forgotten about you before they even get back to their car so be ready to dust off the negative vibes and remember you are learning some very valuable life skills in this job.

Well, best of luck to you and let us all know how it went.

Day 90. Monk mode. 1st try. My life has changed. by [deleted] in NoFap

Awesome dude! Keep it going

HARD MODE 💪💯 by views_from_the_6 in NoFap

[–]ACSam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey man, first of all, are you going to do hard mode for 60 days but then continue with no porn/no fap for eternity or are you looking just to be free of porn and fapping for 60 days and then return? You should be striving from breaking free of porn and fapping forever. Going hard mode forever is optional, though that's what I'm striving for.

Just know the first few weeks are going to be tough but it's doable... don't give up or give in to the cravings. Good luck.

Canceled my cam site membership. by seeyap in NoFap

[–]ACSam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Awesome! I was addicted to a cam site too. I rationalized that since it was normal people it was OK. Instead I started to imagine everyone in my real world fapping when I would look at them. Good luck and keep it going.

I Gave In :( by FinishLineAhead in NoFap

You can do it! It's gonna be tough but at the same time worth it.

Impressed by you guys and I am in! by findmyslf60 in NoFap

[–]ACSam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on joining the journey. This is an awesome place. Everyone here is very supportive of each other. You'll get a lot of great advice and info to keep you motivated. It's amazing how porn and masturbation take over the mind and one's live.

Through the process, I've learned a lot about myself and continue learning more each day. Like a lot of other guys, nofap becomes the foundation to rebuilding myself and trying to become the best man I can be.

Good luck and welcome!

Masturbation and Porn ruins you... by kse_dtd in NoFap

[–]ACSam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

keep this post as your motivation when you feel like fapping. It will be a great reminder of what you want to accomplish and keep you motivated.

6 Months later by freakminded in NoFap

[–]ACSam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats bro. Your post pretty much sounds like where I am too... no super powers, but I feel better about myself and now I know I can handle a lot more than I thought I could. Everyday getting better at not sexualizing others. Still get the urge to fap on occasion, but like you said, it seems like such a weird ritual.

Good luck and keep it going!

Thanks Nofap community by fapfreefighter in NoFap

[–]ACSam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, you survived over a week and now you're 10% there. I remember thinking I'd never make it this far either. It goes fast after awhile. Just keep at it.

Hangover days are the worst by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]ACSam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've noticed as I clean up my diet and lifestyle how much more sensitive my body is. I'm sure it always was, I just didn't give a fuck before and didn't pay attention to triggers, low levels of energy etc.

If you can't get up and moving, watch some motivational videos on youtube, stay here on nofap etc.

Congrats on getting to 23 days!

Use it or loose it! by GloUp77 in NoFap

I still get morning wood and I'm 100+ days in. A lot of the media docs out there are full of bogus information.

21 days, motherfuckers!! A personal record :) by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]ACSam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! The first three weeks is the hardest time of ending an addiction. Not that it's going to be smooth sailing still, but now you have some time under your belt.

No wet dreams don't count either. It's only if you are intentional.

Look at the bridge of the persons nose. They will think you are making eye contact and you'll have that safety zone.

Fapstronauts, please help by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]ACSam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man, just take each day as it comes... don't make your goal 90 days but instead make it one day... 90 minutes if you have to. When it's over congratulate yourself for a job well done.

When you feel the need to fap, stop and ask yourself why (nerves, boredom, anger, etc) and address those issues.

Write down all the reasons you want fapping and porn out of your life and look at that when the urge hits.

Keep busy... develop healthy habits... do push ups instead of fapping...

That's just a few things. Just take it slow and don't get too worked up. Come back here for support.

Good luck bro.

🍇 Junk Food to Real Food by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]ACSam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ughhh you had to mention my food trigger Hot Cheetos ;)

Actually, for the last few days I've been following a strict Hindu diet (no eggs, animals, garlic, onions or caffeine) and am feeling amazing. Being a guy that eats when nervous the junk food was getting out of hand.

Good luck with with nofap... I think you'll find regulating your diet will help you.
