ITT. Looking for a support group

>>17581794
addicted to what

>>17581801

Should have elaborated. Not addicted to anything serious like weed or drugs etc.

Just pleasurable things in general, distractions, food, etc.

Masturbation been causing problems in me for the last 4 years, and has caused me to pursue stronger and weirder fetishes, and reduced my self steem (due to the fantasies I partake into) to almost non existent.

In the process of being also addicted to my own fantasies / delusions of grandeur, I've also become some sort of recluse and, in the occasions I have to go to college, nothing more but the socially awkward guy nobody talks to.

what happened when you googled "addiction support group (name of your city or nearest large city)"?

>>17581819

No need for that, I know most of them, but they are really not what I am looking into.

Besides I would really prefer to keep it online.

>>17581840
>wants a support group
>wants it to be online
there's a logical next step here OP, but I'm not going to spoonfeed you. I am pretty sure you can figure it out if you really want to.

>>17581794
Fapping
>delete asuka folder immediately
>actually, just delete all of your porn
>stop fapping completely, immediately
>if you MUST fap, do it only once a week, and only to thoughts of a girl you've met in person recently

Food
>limit yourself to the standard 3 meals per day
>get on /fit/ and learn how to count calories
>find some sort of workout to do, be it cardio or lifting or both

laziness
>make a schedule and STICK to it
>if you have an evening where you're at home playing vidya or browsing 4chan, try to fill that time with social events or going out with friends or something productive

>>17581890

I mean sure anon, theres a lot of online support groups, it's my fault really, I just wanted online friends.

>>17581925
how old are you?

>>17581909

I want to thank you for your post, I will do all of this but hate to sound like a bitch when I say I've done them a couple of times already, its like a loop I am back where I started again.

What would hurt me the most would be to delete my porn, Ive saved a good amount of THICC anime girls in it and I love it so much tho.

>>17581963
>>17581963

22, how old are you anon?

I-ve been thinking all day on how to answer your whats up question Leon. But I am an autist and its pretty much impossible for me to say something that continues the conversation.

This just, this just, made me laugh, amazing conversation.
I have the same problem with the "what's up" Question, is just too much confusing to me.
Whatever, i'd like to be your friend too.

>>17583402

Dunno if i am, give up too easy, don't even know, who i am, however, update your thread OP, anything new?

>>17583696

No, Phi, please tell me about yourself first, why are you in adv, what brought you here?

>>17581794
>looking for a support group
>on 4chan
>this entire thread
we are each other's support group

>>17583717

But theres no way to keep track anon, we need to take it to a whole new level

>>17583710
I saw the "get it off your chest" thread in the "home page" did it, liked the board, always try to contribute, and, well, i like sheeps.

Now you(?
Also, have you tried irc chats?

>>17583735

Well ircs are terrible for the most part, at least the ones that Ive tried.

I usually come here to cringe, to be completely honest desu.

Rarely post, I think I've made like 4 post here this year, usually about this or another topic.

I like to study history and talk about it with people. But the only guy I talk to is a steam friend from Norway that's really into videogames and, whenever hes on, hes playing, so why bother the cuck faggot with my bullshit. Other than that, he outright refused when I offered him to join me in a crusade to become something more than useless idiots. ''I don't think I can commit to that'' he said.

Other than that, I go to college, failing at it, etc. I dont know what else to say Phi...

>>17583753
I had hope, that maybe you would say something like: Sure, you should visit this irc.

Cuz yes, most of them suck.
We do need this>>17583720
And i have no idea how :/.
I would like to add you on Steam...
But i don't have a Steam account.
i've looking for real active groups a lot, and no luck, now other anons must try.
cya, i'll sleep, i have to be an active neet tomorrow.
>Misato is better than azuka

>>17583764

See you later then.

And yes, Misato is better than Asuka.

Pretty much the only reason why I watched the show... until I found out she fucked that fucker Kaji, which made me feel like a cuck and is the reason why I shitpost on eva threads saying its shit.

The shortest interaction of someone trying to make a human connection over an anonymous message board.

Who doesn't understand 'what's up'? That's like the first thing you learn to say to be social.

>>17584188

Dude nice!

Where are you from, OP?

>>17581925

Support groups aren't supposed to be your friends.

>>17584188
Belive it o not, it's very hard for some people being "social" cuz yes, they are kinda "autistic"

>>17584703

Mexico, what about you anon? where are you from?

>>17584773
Finland. Would like to talk to you through something if you want to.

>>17584788

Sure why not, do you use steam? Thats the thing I use the most

>>17584797
Yeah, I do.

1. Define a few weeks.
These things don't happen over night. minimal/no results after one or two weeks isn't anything to be worried by; even the better part of a month or so depending on the severity of the syndromes.

2. incremental progress.
Chose one thing to better every two-three days. Add that thing to your routine, stick with it for a few days, and then add another thing.
Monday: Floss before bed.
Thursday: Don't drink any soda.
Monday: Make up my bed in the morning.
Thursday: Do the dishes after dinner.
etc.

2.2. No double-ups.
Skipping flossing isn't a big deal, nor is drinking one soda, but if you find your self repeating the habit again the next day/same day, stop. Basically never let yourself fall back twice in a row.

Slowly, one small change will become a clockwork of self-improvement.
It's how I broke chronic masturbation, drinking soda, not flossing, and a dozen other bad habits.

3. Your'e probably over-dramatizing all of it.
Odds are that your own perspective on your problems is far, far more severe than anyone else's.
The phrase, "You're your own worst critic," applies to more than writing and artistry.
Instead of reveling in your own self-pitty, the next time you find yourself regretting something you're doing/have done go down the trail of logic. Ask yourself why you're doing it, and then why you feel like you do about whatever the reason is, and so on, until you get to a root problem. Odds are the roots are much more common issues and hangups that many other people share with you, everyone just deals with their issues differently. Sometimes they're even non-problems that you just feel guilty about.

>>17584737
Nine times out of ten it's just a lack of experience, resulting in a lack of confidence.
The worst thing most people are going to do is ignore you or end the dialog swiftly and excuse themselves. Nothing lost.
If someone does harass you then you know they're a bad pick and don't have to feel bad about not becoming their friend.

Thanks for your response anon.

I will try to reassure myself everyday this principle of incremental progress, at least that way I will get rid of the feeling of not going anywhere due to minimum or almost no results.

About over dramatizing, of course you are right, although I try mos to the times to, like you say, split my problems in such a way that I can identify them in others, leading to things we have in common.

That was pretty much the goal of the thread, as in finding people who shared these types of problems to support each other.

Holy shit! Who is this goddess?

>>17585953

Alexandra Gayer, some russian cosplayer

>>17581794
that's such a sad photo. You can tell she wants to drink Dr.Pepper and eat Oreos and yet she's eating a single tortilla chip and drinking a Fanta.

>>17586070

Well shes fat as fuck so I would prefer she wouldn't eat either one of those.
