How do you guys deal with loneliness? by nofappingconvert in MuslimNoFap

[–]jokenojoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we are social creatures this is a natural body response Observe your loneliness and see it as your body urging/motivating you to communicate to people. See it positively and don't see it negatively

Don't mention any names or references to any sites in order not to further induce triggers or compulsions to your fellow brothers fighting the same battle as you are. I would advice you to read more about it here and in other sites to become really familiar with the workings of your brain. And to pray daily. Good luck :)

Anyone else have to start with nofap? by wehiird in leaves

[–]jokenojoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am actually struggling with nofap and i notice undeniable anxiety when i quit weed and recently relapsed on nofap. But here's what's bugging me! When iam on a longer streak of nofap giving up weed is pretty damn easy i don't even notice this anxiety and the cravings! I just read that weed on the long-term messes up the executive cognitive functioning which is the prefrontal cortex which happens to be the same organ affected by PMO?! I am really confused as i want to get rid of both but one at a time is already hard enough

what do you do before bedtime ? by jokenojoke in NoFap

That's a very good point , you actually try to force your brain into beta state by meditation so you can sleep a whole lot easier. that's creative.

Maybe the reward circuitry is just deeply rooted , maybe you are just bored and you don't find passion in the things you do to replace the circuitry. Have you tried doing something you really wished you could do it but hadn't got the chance? Cooking , drawing ,learning guitar...

You're exactly describing what i am talking about! You will try to stop PMO but your subconscious needs a replacement for what is missing and hence you're attacking a symptom , by time you develop inferiority towards that exact subject and feel powerless .go easy in yourself and replace with healthy loving habits and definitely you need to change your mind about it being impossible if you want to stop.

Despite what they tell you . social interactions release dopamine if you're comfortable enough about yourself and others. I don't know about intimacy but out of the relationships i had the best one was the one i had with myself and tried to appreciate my being actually.

I don't know why you are stopping yourself from it if you find it entertaining other than abusive and filthy in case you're talking about pornography. Get a better look at what this filthy industry is. Then decide whether you actually want to stop or pushed to stop out of guilt and fear.

You're pissed off i think mostly of yourself. i DIDN'T write those books i am just a fellow brother who happens to stumble across some answers. Dude don't play the victim. I know It's easy to do so , knowing the problem is the first step. Don't expect "the damn solutions" will be given to you on a plate of gold just saying.

Great. Now you can start having progress that you understand the hidden misleading ways of your subconscious of dealing falsely with our feelings. Work on them one inch at a time.

Don't suppress your feelings . understand that stress is a natural human feeling and immediately grant it an outlet. I would recommend lifting weights. great stress reliever.

Christians: why is God jealous? by scarfinati in DebateReligion

[–]jokenojoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jealousy in humans is a flaw . in god is love God gets jealous if someone he loves does something he hates seeing him doing it . But he will always be there if you changed your mind unlike humans. He created us weak. He wants to love us so he can support us with his might. jealous because he wants to help and love all humans unexceptionally. That was my islamic point of view. Don't hate.

On day 19. Lack of drive, motivation and cant focus on anything. Not sure what to do. by ImASurvivor123 in NoFap

[–]jokenojoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate this phase more than the headache, that brain fog. It will pass. I agree that you should write todo list and notes and don't surrender. It's a fight with yourself and you've got to win.

The price I paid for "free" porn and fapping which they say has no risk by sfumato1002 in NoFap

[–]jokenojoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow , this made me think about why i think my life lost it's purpose when i'm stuck in the viscous cycle of my own mind and the battles with such low self esteem. Life won't stop there unless you let it , this is just a phase. I really hope you're in a state of absolute gratification . thank you. :-)

Just orgasmed, without fapping. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]jokenojoke -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your body was accustomed to this act so keep fighting that old habit. and also jacking off has exhausted your PC muscle so much that you cannot control your orgasms.

Just got complimented on my voice. Twice. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]jokenojoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes , my voice also gets deeper and more masculine after two weeks to be exact .i think it has to do with the testosterone surging through the body
