Why do I feel less confident and seem unable to get things done

I've noticed this as well, if I don't fap for like a week I become really confident in myself and like I'm feel above everyone else.

If I fap I get really held back, I avoid social situations and I have a hard time holding eye contact with people for some reason.

However I have sleep problems and busting a nut before bed really helps me to fall asleep at night. I try to plan in advance, if I have a important meeting or something I'll avoid fapping for a few days. If I have just another week locked up in a office I'll go loose and fap away.

Self fulfilling unless you got really low stamina

It's because the reason we do everything is ultimately sex. And fapping is a sex simulator/emulator. So your mind is tricked to think you just had sex. Once you had sex there's literally no other goal in life.

I'm the complete opposite. I gotta fap to feel confident. If I fap I have sleeping problems.
When I don't fap I'm nervous in social situations.

same except fapping doesn't really affect my sleep at all as far as I can tell.

I think there's a "feel good" aspect from abstaining from fapping. At least in my case, I know that I feel guilty when I fap, because I'm giving into my desires and not holding off. Setting a mini goal like 1 week without fapping and barely being able to last 3 days is disappointing. So the pleasure I'm supposed to feel from jizzing is masked by the shame I feel from not sticking to my goal.

There's also a bit of science behind it. To create sperm, your body pulls vitamins and minerals from what you eat (Vitamin C, etc.) Everytime you fap, it requires your body to pull more of those vitamins and minerals to create more sperm. So in effect by fapping, you're depleting your body's essentials vitamins it needs to be healthy. There's links to vitamin deficiency with it causing a lack of concentration,difficulty focusing, feelings of sadness, etc.

I think it's perfectly healthy to fap. But like anything, you need to do it in moderation. I'm trying to set myself up on a routine of only fapping once or twice per week with as many days in between as possible.

Last time I attempted to do a 1 month no fap. The first 3 days I felt no real change in behavior. The urges weren't so bad. The 4th day I had a really bad urge but was able to hold off. The 5th day I don't want happened, but I felt good. Like genuinely good. Words couldn't describe it. Maybe it was a combination of sticking to goal or maybe it had something to do with the science aspect behind it, who knows. All I know is that I felt great.

what's the truth
I don't even have too low of a libido since I just got off SSRIs, I'm just not used to fapping often and I don't think it's optimal.

it does makes it easier to fall asleep for me and it makes me relaxed sometimes... but sometimes depressed instead

If you feel like shit afterwards then stop fapping?
