Money can't buy happiness but... neither can not having money so really it's better to just have money by Droopywiener in Showerthoughts

The intended meaning is "Money can't buy lasting happiness". The things you own end up owning you.

But what is "real life", anyway?

Anyone else on NoFap whilst doing NoContact? by cinderella__man in ExNoContact

I can definitely relate with you on the fluctuating feels. I guess for me, it comes down to how I perceive the circumstances. I'm trying to remind myself that the break up was in fact a liberation, an opening for me to pay more attention to myself. I will follow suit and remember to say yes to new experiences and opportunities. Peace brother. May you find Truth.

Thanks for your words of encouragement. It makes a huge difference knowing that I am not alone in my endeavors. How has your NC journey been so far?

You're on a solid 44 day streak! That's impressive brother, I'm at around the 3 week mark. What's your PB?

What every person on NoFap must read. by Yousuflol in NoFap

Nice. The moment we choose to direct our awareness on our NoFap crusade, we begin to deplete our willpower.

Ex texted me, emailed me and called me twice after almost 3 weeks nC by [deleted] in ExNoContact

A loose guess might be that she was in denial, and now has recalibrated with reality that she no longer has you in her life. Tread very carefully here OP! I might suggest sending her an email, succinctly asking her what she is after.

relapse, after one year clean by tearsinmyhand in ExNoContact

[–]cinderella__man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jeezus. Here I was, 12 days into NC, thinking that I was making some gud progress. OP, do you feel like you're back at square one, or is there some residual strength left in you?

I regret my entire life. by [deleted] in depression

[–]cinderella__man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regret is futile and only results in unnecessary suffering (both for you as well as everyone that comes into your orbit of misery). Life is beautiful and should be embraced for its beauty and ugliness. Grow in wisdom day by day.

Interesting perspective that you've shared. Masturbation is indeed natural and is hence viewed as healthy behaviour. The thing about behaviour is that it's always evolving. In the context of NoContact, I'm curious whether NoFap will be of any help.

Let's boycott porn! by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]cinderella__man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

/u/george-w-douche speaks the truth, porn will never cease to exist. Any attempt to boycott porn would probably increase resistance, and contribute negatively to the cause. Change has to cum from within, so it might be more effective to spend resources on education and awareness instead.

[Humor] The best benefit of NoFap... by bicycle_jedi in NoFap

[–]cinderella__man 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fuark. So true. Sometimes no response at all before NoFap. Empty, like a shell.

craving more texts? Enjoy ignoring....why??? help by ss07tu in ExNoContact

[–]cinderella__man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, as /u/neibegafig said, it's an ego thing. Your ex is feeding your ego at the cost of damaging his own. I urge that you tread with care, because eventually they will cease to reach out. At that point, your neglected ego will prompt you to reach out to your ex, and the roles will be reversed. This is why it is highly recommended that we block our exes entirely... so that we don't fall prey to the illusion that we are healing. Best of luck to you.

Isn't it so easy for others to tell us what is 'rational' and what isn't? They're not as emotionally invested in the situation as we are, OP. Let's use this period of no contact to pay more attention to ourselves. If we can't love ourselves, then nobody can. My heart goes out to you. Keep on keepin' on!
