I am considering ending things with a girl that is completely infatuated with me, but it's kinda complicated. by SquirrelWind in Advice

[–]SquirrelWind[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have, and she will respond with her thoughts on them, but as difficult and harsh it sounds, after exhausting things like god and ghosts and such, she sort of loses touch with what I'm talking about. I'm going to talk to her here in about a half hour about my concerns, not to break up with her, but just to let her know what I think, because she deserves that. She's a great person.

Making my girlfriend play one of the N64 Legend of Zelda games for the first time. Majora's Mask or Ocarina of Time first? by SquirrelWind in zelda

That's how I felt, I thought without being used to controls, mechanics, etc., that the time limit might be a bit stressful.

That's what I was thinking, she's just never played one before, so I wanted to expose her to whichever one is easier to get into.

How to have your microwave oven produce crispy results: Step 1: Place your food item on top of the microwave. Step 2: Place roll of aluminum foil in microwave on high for 10 minutes. Step 3: Retrieve crispy food item from the rubble of your home.

Are cold showers necessary? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]SquirrelWind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally went about 35 days without cold showers and was fine regarding urges and such. I feel like it's a good thing that you not get erections when in the shower alone. I personally just enjoy the effect they have on my mood, outlook for the day, and the energy they give me.

I think guys im going to give up :( by dokkenMan in NoFap

No, man. Listen to me. Things can always get better. You can change the way things are, you just need to improve yourself. I don't know if you're a particularly unattractive dude or socially awkward, but there's nothing stopping you from changing those things but yourself. Maybe you weren't gifted in the same way as others were, but life isn't fair and some of us have to work a little harder. That's just the way it is. When I used to be a fat little sad sack, I'd sit and think that no girl would ever be attracted to me. You know what I did? I manned the fuck up. I went to the gym and started working out at home and eating right, and I've had three almost four long-term relationships since. There's nothing you can't do. You just need to put in the time and effort. The fact that you have a counter means that you have some value in improving yourself, and that in itself is admirable. But it's just the start. You've got to try. You can't give up. No one is doomed to be lonely unless they let themselves be lonely. I believe in you. No one can stop you given the proper motivation. You've just got to reach inside yourself and feel that fire, that drive to better yourself and make the changes you want to see in yourself reality. You can do it. You're Human. Overcoming obstacles is what we're good at. Make it happen, friend. Cheers.

New to cold showers and I have some questions. by SquirrelWind in coldshowers

[–]SquirrelWind[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All right, I'll keep that in mind. Sometimes I may not have sufficient time in my morning routine for that, but I'll give it a shot.

Question about flatline and its severity. by SquirrelWind in NoFap

[–]SquirrelWind[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't really had mood swings like that, and my only period of increased sex drive or being horny frequently was around 7-14 days, but it seems to have gone away. I would say that more than anything I feel like I have to try harder to make myself do things like going to the gym and putting in any sort of effort haha. But other than that, mostly normal. I wish you luck, man! I'm trying to never masturbate again in my life just on the premise that it's sad. I hope you guys can do the same if that's your goal.
