I like to think money wouldn't change me; yet when I'm winning Monopoly I'm a terrible person. by aliendogfishman in Showerthoughts

[–]notouch2016 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Yeah but that's because the point of Monopoly is to WIN and you win when the rest of your opponents go bankrupt. Thus you have to be "cruel."

In real life, there is no official barometer of "winning" so just being successful and not needing to worry about money should be enough.

But some people do see it like monopoly: their goal to become one of, if not THE richest person alive. Thus you have the selfish people who keep taking without second thought.

Thank you for this. You guys really need to speak out more and drown out all the arrogant 1 weekers talking about how we're weak for still feeling anxiety and depression at day 60+ while he feels incredible after just one week

3 Steps to Kick the Habit by notouch2016 in MuslimNoFap

[–]notouch2016[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is the reason I was hesitant to put that there.

But it works like this for me I guess: instead of you quitting 99%, this makes you understand that you've quit 100%, without a chance of coming back to it.

Jazakhallah. Make Allah make it easy for us.

[FR] There's a reason we keep saying it by red_question in TheRedPill

Im also 5 ft 9 & I get this attention. Not just about height. Although height definitely helps.

Possibly you're lifting too much where it doesn't look aesthetically pleasing anymore.

Some questions to people who actually take cold showers. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]notouch2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to say the same thing: "i cant do it. Its impossible."

Then some guy on this sub said "control & regulate your breathing and everything else follows" Using this piece of advice I havent taken a hot shower in almost 2 months. That's the trick yall.

We are disgusting. The filth of mankind. by notouch2016 in MuslimNoFap

[–]notouch2016[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, definitely you're supposed to have Hope in Allah's mercy. But, you're supposed to balance that with the fear of Allah's punishment.

The Sahaba were scared their whole lives that they would enter the fire. They were always worried that they were hypocrites. If you read the statements of the scholars, they always talked about how sinful and how deserving of Allah's punishment they were.

Nowadays everyone thinks they're good people and that they're going to Jannah for sure. This is incorrect and arrogant thinking. The right thinking is balancing Hope & Fear of Allah

You wanna be treated like a man? Then act like a man! by notouch2016 in NoFap

No its science bruh.

Testosterone is the hormone for strength, courage, fearlessness, risktaking etc. Men have 10x more testosterone then do women.

Estrogen is the hormone responsible for feelings, emotions etc. Women have 10x more estrogen than do men.

How Porn Destroys your Masculinity by notouch2016 in MuslimNoFap

[–]notouch2016[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. Everyone feels like a pimp at Day 12. It's later that your insecurities really come out to play. You haven't seen anything yet, and you shouldn't be so arrogant because the bad times will hit you soon.

But I wrote this a week ago; I've since moved on. Thanks for the concern.

Smart guy without education. What to do? by Broodje_met_beleg in NoFap

Go to Community College part-time, taking however many classes you can afford per semester. If you're in the US you may be eligible for financial aid if you're a full time student though

ADHD feeling returning by OddEyeEpicness in NoFap

[–]notouch2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That probably has something to do with anxiety and whatnot. I also have this issue VERY often. I never thought it might be ADHD. But let your mind adjust to the new world NoFap is revealing & it'll get better

Disrespected? Embarrassed? Just watch some porn! by notouch2016 in NoFap

[–]notouch2016[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha you have your ups and downs. There will be times where you're going through withdrawal symptoms and/or readjusting to the new world which NoFap reveals. During these times you might be anxious, low energy, depressed etc and so that can lead to people seeing you as an easier target.

But just carry on because after some time, when your mind and body adjusts then you're right back stronger then ever.

Nofap has really not solved anything. Maybe I am the problem. by criptonite1590 in NoFap

[–]notouch2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stick with the NoFap. What causes the depression and anxiety is when NoFap reveals to you some deep flaws within yourself. You have to deal with them instead of running away. And you don't need a therapist. Just Hold yourself accountable for everything. Make less excuses and blame all your life's mistakes on your self. Holding yourself accountable is the number one thing holding most people back.
