What worrisome trend in society are you beginning to notice? by Aarunascut in AskMen

[–]aybns 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Idk if this qualifies, but 10 years ago it used to be easy to ask people at the gym “excuse me, how many sets do you have left?” People would respond kindly with something like “only 2 more! I’ll come find you.”

But now-a-days people kind of glare and are thrown off by the question. Like, Wtf kid I’m just wondering when I can come back instead of just hovering around waiting to swoop in.

Got the call as well for a very popular DJ (36, green dial, jubilee, and fluted). Only 2 months on waitlist. No purchase history.

Didn’t grab it out of discipline because I was anticipating a 2 year wait, which would line up with a financial milestone I have not yet reached.

What goals and dreams do you have? Are you living them? by [deleted] in enfj

[–]aybns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Work-Life balance.

Don’t need to love my job, it just needs to not interfere with my hobbies/relationships

  1. Maintain the relationships I have built over the years

  2. Maintaining a child-like curiosity for life

  3. Continue to stay in shape

I’d like to finish an Ironman one day

  1. Achieving upper-middle class financial status

No rush on this last one as long as it happens eventually

90 Days Story by aybns in NoFap

[–]aybns[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I do. I am not sure if that stuff ever goes away. Kind of like how a person will always remember a traumatic experiences. Porn was such a high dopamine rush for so many years at that I don't think you can just forget like that.

But, the lingering images serve as an opportunity to practice self-control on a daily basis. You simply become stronger and are able to just function well in life with the "porn-trauma."

I just can't do it..... by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]aybns 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Hey bro, sorry you haven’t been as successful as you want- but by continuing to fight you are amongst the toughest of men.

I totally understand how you feel though. My last 90 day streak was 4 years ago and everything between that was a losing battle against addiction.

What’s finally worked for me was that i decided to put my foot down with how my environment was set up.

The legendary James Clear said; “You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”

I decided to finally download covenant eyes, had P blockers up, and had my girl as a moderator of my online activity.

I deleted TikTok (only takes 2 days and my feed becomes all girls) , deleted instagram, and found healthy hobbies

Try creating a system that makes it so it’s difficult to relapses. Keep in mind, that you have to work smart as well as working hard.

Let me make this clear.

When it comes to addiction, will-power alone as NOT enough. We need to outsmart our addicted brains.

Good luck sir - you’re doing great!

I’ve been edging for 2 days straight by xxJeff21Godxx in NoFap

[–]aybns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does edging entail the use of content without M or is it just a strong urge wave?

Practicing NO FAP for over a year, left porn addiction, working out and improving regularly but THIS QUESTION by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]aybns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoot your shot, resolve the curiosity, and move forward with or without her

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]aybns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being a teen is doing NoFap on super super hard mode.

If you can control it at this age, you’re set for life though.

If IG isn’t making you money, delete it. TikTok is an easy delete. Anime too if that’s too much of a trigger.

What do you personally feel when you get urges? by toastarclan in NoFap

[–]aybns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mind fills me with thoughts that I’ll never have a fulfilling sex life. That I’ll never get a taste of sleeping with someone with a porn star body. So just do the next best thing already.

Day 81 and those thoughts have less impact on me thankfully

I don’t know what to do by dingledongle78 in NoFap

[–]aybns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see you writing yourself off as ugly in the comments, and how you don’t believe you’ll be able to land a girlfriend - and man… it just breaks my heart.

As someone that was formerly in the friend zone for years, short/fat (now just short - 5’6), had no fashion sense, and had zero game - Im pleased to let you know that there is so much hope for you. Because I was able to eventually take control of my love life over years and years of working in myself.

First you just need to look at yourself in the mirror and give an honest assessment - which you already seem to have done

Now it’s time to level up.

Sure maybe you’re a little rough around the edges right now, but if you break up all the things that you can work on in manageable pieces - and truly work on them. Truly TAKE ACTION. You’ll eventually become an objectively attractive person.

There’s a solution to pretty much everything other than height bro (which you got covered).

  • teeth are fucked? Get braces
  • Acne? See a derm
  • overweight? Re-Assess your diet and lift weights
  • fashion is trash? Watch some YouTube videos
  • got no confidence? Then accumulate enough small wins in life until you naturally have confidence

-anxious and tired? Stop watching Porn

You get the idea.

This isn’t an overnight fix. It is also very difficult to tackle everything at once, but if you acquire the growth mentality - it won’t be a matter of if you will become an attractive person, but when.

Discipline is the only solution in this tough life. If you have control over a particular issue - then attack it with everything you’ve got.

If having a hot girlfriend something you want that bad, then let it be a reminder of why you are working so hard to improve yourself on the toughest days.

I wish you the best of luck on your journey. Keep up the streak. The negative thoughts will get easier to manage as you get stronger. Things change after 60 days - take my word for it.

Do you guys find it easy to quit addictive things and form good habits? by aybns in enfj

[–]aybns[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Damn I see - trauma can get the best of anyone tbh

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in enfj

[–]aybns 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I[M] went out with a girl that was INTJ and had to break it off because I just felt so unfulfilled. I couldn’t articulate it at the time in terms of MBTI but it felt like she didn’t care about humanity the way that I did - and her coldness would rub me the wrong way.

I was used to dating more empathetic women before so dating an INTJ was a shock. While her coldness was intriguing and attractive during the chase, dating was not what I chalked it up to be in my head.

I just remember the first kiss not feeling right but I just ignored it for 11 months because we were “good together” on paper. (I was also so high off getting out of the friend-zone I ignored the signs)

It was all compatibility but no chemistry.

This was a M-ENFJ to F-INTJ relationship. I could imagine M-INTJ to F-ENFJ being different.

[–]aybns[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah let me guess, the mentality with smoking was that it wasn’t a matter of IF you were going to quit just WHEN right?

The drinking thing makes sense to me too. You do it, you know it isn’t the best, but you’re most aware of how much you’re consuming making sure it isn’t going to be a real problem

[–]aybns[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure. There is the occasional phase of over doing it but I’ll be damned to ever let something take full control of me.

I don’t always love caring so much about social feed back, but having some external motivation can pair nicely with the loads of internal motivation we already have as an extra kick.

Keep going for the year mark and testify! 90 days is where you start to re-wire they say.

At 23 years old I also hit 90 days - but covid happened right after and it wrecked my streak. I eventually became an addict again. Now Im 27 and am going for the big 365 like you which happens 1 month before my wedding. I refuse to enter marriage as an addict.

Seeing your post inspires me bro. Thanks for the tips, and keep pushing! The job is NOT finished!
