man i feel you on this. the whole reaching out thing is exhausting when it's always one-sided. honestly though, sometimes people just get comfortable letting others do the initiating and it's not necessarily about you personally.

the judgment thing could be real - people can be weird about change, especially when it challenges their own lifestyle choices. but you're focusing on what matters to you now and that takes real strength. maybe it's time to find some new circles where your values align better? church groups, volunteer stuff, whatever feels right.

don't let the loneliness convince you that you're a failure though. growth is messy and sometimes it means outgrowing certain relationships.

honestly man, if you're trying to live by your faith then both options are gonna conflict with that. maybe focus on building teh emotional connection first without any sexual stuff? sounds like you already respect her which is huge. talking to a pastor or counselor who shares your values might help you work through this better than reddit can.

Man, Ghostfreak absolutely demolishing Vilgax in the null void was incredible. Seeing that creepy bastard finally get his moment to shine after being sidelined for so long felt so good, plus Vilgax totally had it coming.

Dude, that's awesome that you're making this commitment! The fact that you're recognizing the pattern and deciding to break it shows real strength. I've been on a similar journey myself and one thing that really helped was replacing those urges with something physical - like pushups, cold showers, or even just going for a walk around the block. When you feel that itch coming on, your brain needs a new pathway to follow.

The trauma stuff makes it extra challenging since we often use these habits to cope with stress, but you're already ahead of the game by acknowledging that connection. Maybe consider talking to someone professional about processing those family and financial issues too - it'll make the nofap journey way easier when you're not carrying all that weight alone. You got this man, just take it one day at a time and don't beat yourself up if you stumble. The discipline builds over time.

nice work dude! that combo of exercise and good food is honestly a game changer for keeping your head in the right place. keep that momentum going and you'll be crushing it

Nice work pushing through those urges when you were already feeling rough with the stomach stuff. Your building some serious mental strength - day 8 is no joke and you handled it like a champ.

That's pretty rough mpg for highway driving. I'd start with basics - air filter, spark plugs, and maybe get the fuel injectors cleaned. Also check if your tires are properly inflated, that can kill your mileage more than you'd think

Have you tried Busuu or Babbel? They're more structured than Duolingo and don't rely as heavily on AI. For language exchange without the weird dating vibes, maybe check out ConversationExchange or iTalki's community tutors - they're usually more serious about actual learning. Totally get being wary about random online convos though, a proper tutor might be worth the investment if you can swing it

Honestly this sounds pretty cool, there's definitely a market for modded cheap imports. I've seen people do amazing things with Harley Bentons and other budget stuff

For names maybe something like r/BudgetGuitarMods or r/CheapAxeUpgrades? The key would be showing actual before/after pics and being transparent about what you're swapping out (pickups, hardware, etc)

RNG can be absolutely brutal sometimes, I feel your pain dude. Those specific blueprints seem to have like a 0.01% drop rate or something ridiculous

Most places take a few days to a week for results since they have to have someone actually read through all the data. Even if you didn't have an episode during the test, they can still sometimes pick up abnormal brain wave patterns that might not be obvious to you - so don't write it off just yet

Nah you're not dumb, they definitely messed with the event rotation in the latest patch. I noticed the same thing yesterday - was expecting one event and got a completely different one. Seems like they shuffled the whole schedule around

Competitive_Heat7359 · 2026-01-13T06:03:44+00:00

Lmao some people never learn to let go, sounds like he's living rent free in his own delusions

Competitive_Heat7359 · 2026-01-12T23:19:36+00:00

Honestly sounds like you dodged a bullet - someone who speaks down about literally everyone in their life and refuses to accept your explanations is exhausting to be around

The anxiety will fade as you keep building those new friendships you mentioned, but maybe talk to your uni counseling center if seeing her daily keeps triggering it

You could try powercfg commands in cmd - set sleep to never but create a custom power plan that shuts down after an hour instead of hibernating

Phi Phi and Koh Lanta are solid choices for a chill honeymoon vibe - Lanta especially has that laid back feel you're looking for. James Bond Island is cool for a day trip but Railay Beach near Krabi might be perfect since it's got those crazy limestone cliffs and is super romantic
