Why do you hate yourself so much?

>>806649
self-loathing has gotten slowly but surely much smaller and manageable over the years.
but as for the pics, it just didnt feel right anymore, along with a transition to normie lyfe saying its a good idea. I felt like a whore for taking them as i thought about it off&on the past couple of weeks, along with willingly sharing them with some once close online buddies over the years, most of whom I almost never talk to anymore, and I want as few reminders of my 'internet culture' past as possible.
Heck, I'm planning to purge all the porn on my comp eventually to become less of a deviant. Feels good so far.

>>8066471
they're still in the recycling bin, why don't you fish them out?

>>8066518
Purging porn is one thing but those pics are part of your history and you're losing them and the chance to look back on yourself.

did it w/ a file shredder, that shit aint comin back. even if i could just use Recuva on the emptied recycle bin, i want them gone.

True, but Ive already done my analysis on my actions, and will likely remember for a very long time what I did and certain pics. I dont want to risk looking at them years later and be tempted to get back into it.
Besides, if I really get the urge to look back on myself, I can ask the 2 friends i still talk to that i sent pics to (they'll be around for a long time, They're good people and I'm keeping them around despite normieism) to send me the pics they have.

Also I'm gonna be honest, I've had this stupid thing called a religion most of my life, and while I'm generally moderate about it, I've been working to reconnect the past 6 months, and it's helped me grow and even become decently happier, so I don't plan on stopping, even if it means breaking near decade old porn habits.

Are you sure you should be controlling yourself like that anon?

>>8066471
>tfw have OPs noods on my PC

>>8066550
What religion are you?

>>8066551
On the contrary, I'm freeing myself and preventing my internal, childish urges from controlling me and making me do something I ultimately don't want. For me, Blind self-criticism/dwelling, excessive/deviant porn, and procrastination are prisons (while all 3 of these are normal, they're all far past the point of 'acceptable', especially procrastination) legitimately preventing me from doing as well as i could as a person. procrastination is the oldest figurative demon of these 3, so im going in order from least severity.

Deleting your pics won't stop any of those and you can stop them without deleting.

Christianity. Technically Methodist but going to a non-demoninational church. I hang with a college ministry.

Memes aside, proof? I've only shared with a single digit amount of people.

>>8066591
No single overnight action will, but this is absolutely a step in the right direction. Like i said, I plan to eventually delete all the porn i have, and eventually begin to phase out porn altogether (this won't phase completely, we need to fap to something eventually, but i can mitigate it immensely). and those 3 things have varying connections to each other.
True I can do it without deleting, but no reason to not do something that'll keep the ball rolling.

>>8066596
thats because i hold your nudes dear to me. I print them out and snuggle with it to sleep
