thing about adulthood is that grownups are very good at segregating eachother, dumb people will always hang around other dumb people, and smart people will always find each other,
I feel you nibba, that's a huge part of young people culutre. Jelly is right, getting out there and getting involved with various interests will increase your likelehood of meeting more likeable people.
I have a pretty personal question, and you don't need to answer it if is too invasive. Do you watch porn? @Anti-rednibba
I'm hoping this type of segregation you're talking about will be noticeable in college, because I start that soon
@Lorenzo Yeah I do
its okay if the people you comeacross in everyday life might not be particularily admirable people, you just need to rethink where you hang out
College will open a lot of doors, especially with clubs
I masturbate 1-2 times a day
Porn is a source of depression because it messes up with your dopamine levels. This isn't psychological, it's neurological. So I think you should cut porn out of your life.
That's way too much.
I see, like a hard drug
yeah definitely stop jerking so much
Exactly.
I have some studies on this.
If you're interested.
Should I cut out masturbating altogether?
but it's pretty depression to read
I don't think so.
And yes please
I'm actually interested in the studies too, not to hijack the convo or anythig
once a week is what I do and it's kept me pretty sane
Did any of you do it and see improvement?
I'm currently breaking out of it.
Absolutley can confirm
It's really, *really* hard to break out of porn addiction, believe me.
I'll give it my hardest shot
Another thing
heh hardest
Here's a place to start.
oh you\
To learn, I mean.
Thanks
Otherwise, use google scholar to find some more scientific studies. Also, type in "porn addiction" on youtube and you'll find a plethora of speakers.
And don't mention it.
The greatest advice I've received on porn addiction is this : You need to treat porn as sorcerer's spell. Imagine that there is an evil warlock that is trying to curse you with a hex spell that weakens you every time you get the urge to watch porn. Doing this will make the battle feel less like a battle against yourself, and more like a battle against something evil. It's been working so far with me.
I know the golden one is a bit of a meme for most people, but this video has helped me a lot, personally.
i had a friend who had that angel as his fb profile kek
And fixing your dopamine levels will be required if you ever want to fix your depression.
