This will be my first time ever openly sharing about my addiction; from the root cause to the effects and struggles that having a porn addiction has impacted my life to this day
So I just recently turned 21 and I'm beginning to look around and realize that for as long as I've acknowledged that I have a problem and need to quit, I keep feeding the addiction KNOWING that it's ruining my life. I'm going to split this post into 3 sections explaining the following stages: The root causes/early development, Progression of my addiction to current day, and Main struggles from my PA and how I go about everyday life to heal. Not exactly sure why I'm posting this but I just feel like it's something I need to let out. Hope someone can relate or give me their take on it.
The root causes/early development: So I believe that my PA manifested due to a few different reasons: Playing "doctor" with my sister as a child, early age porn exposure, and then using porn as a coping mechanism to deal with any negative emotions. So starting w/ "playing doctor", it first happened at a very young age, somewhere between elementary school to 6th grade. I think most people know what that is but to keep it short basically my sister who is a year older than me introduced my to basically role playing as doctor and patient. I wasn't sure if SHE even knew it was wrong but the point is, it happened. I genuinely don't think she was doing in an abusive way but I'll never know. I don't remember the small details of exactly how it happened but what leads me to think this was a factor that contributed to my porn addiction is that I know now as an adult that it's wrong, however as we "played doctor" I only grew to enjoy it and occasionally we took things outside of "playing doctor" - which is why I don't know what to make of it... Long story short it went from "doctor" to us making up our own games like "spy" where we pretended to fight each other as spy's, getting "knocked out" unconscious while she'd touch... and I specifically remember wanting to play these games in hopes that it led to that. But even outside of playing games I grew to wanting to touch her and act on perverted thoughts as a child that were NOT normal for my age or in general. And sometimes I would sneakily act on them - which as I'm reflecting on right now makes me think that me KNOWINGLY trying to be sneaky and act on perverted thoughts at that young of an age had to have carried on with me as I got older (contributing to my porn addiction).. And then the last thing that I vividly remember was when I was probably 10-12 years old is when again we were actually kind of aggressively play fighting, somehow ended up with each other's hands DOWN THERE mutually and we kept going on with each other until she made me.... yeah. And that was the last memory I had of what started out as us "playing doctor". Fast forward to current date since that last memory and we've never spoken about those experiences (more on that later). Going onto the actual exposure of pornography and WATCHING porn, I was exposed to it somewhere in between the same timeframe as when I'd play doctor and the last memory of us playing (somewhere between the ages of 8-12). I can vividly remember the scene that played late at night on the tv that my parents had left on (I shared a room with them). And then moving forward from there, somewhere in between I would find videos on YouTube of this "prank" channel where he'd go up to paid actors, bet that if he beat them in rock paper scissors that they'd have to make out with him. And as a young kid at the time seeing a girl in a bikini making out with a guy as he grabbed on her ass just made me horny and I learned to masturbate from there. And I cant think of a stronger dopamine hit for a 8-12 year old little me at the time than seeing those videos and pleasuring myself. After this, I'd hit middle school where I was bullied a lot, all while lacking social skills necessary to make any genuine friends or deal with the emotional turmoil of being bullied. Fast forward a few months and I think I just progressively began to normalize using porn as a coping mechanism - All the way from whenever I just got mad while dying repetitively on the videogame, to avoiding the fact that I hated my life everyday that I went to school. I'd use porn to receive that "good feeling" whenever I could. And I think my sexual addiction got worse when I began touching myself in the shower almost everyday in middle school to the imagination of the pretty girls that were at my school, even though I had neverarely talked to some of them. It was just a thing for me where every night I took a shower, I closed my eyes and fantasized about doing stuff with them. And then the cycles of me normalizing these things continued and eventually I found out about REAL porn sites.
Progression of my addiction to current day: So shortly after finding the real porn sites I entirely opted to use those as much as possible as the cycle continued. So by my freshman year of high school I was already using porn sites regularly. I remember during summer and winter breaks, sometimes I'd sleep at my grandmas and stay up all night switching from ejaculating to porn, to watching my favorite youtuber and streamers, to going back to jerking off. It was a multiple times a day/night occurrence OFTEN. Sometimes even during the middle of the day I'd pretend to use the bathroom but really I had a porn video pulled up and I watched until I was done. And as time progressed one video didn't exactly cut it for me. I don't think its that I couldn't get off to the first video, but more so that I just had the urge to see more and didn't want to nut yet. I didn't even know if I was purposely edging or not. I did not even understand that edging was a concept yet. Its just something that occurred naturally for me. And during all of this, I am still somewhere in the age range of 13-15. Consistently ejaculating to pornography, further exploring the more basic categories of porn like anal and lesbian. I think a notable memory was one of the first times I watched porn in the middle of work during summer break (extended family owns a construction company so I worked over breaks). It's crazy because in construction all we have are porta-potties that are always hot and nasty and the urge just came over me one day to pretend like I was using the bathroom and get one off before I went back... I don't think I even realized at the time that I had an addiction because this was still early high school. It was just something I looked at as a good feeling and whenever the urges came to me I took any chance I got to fulfill them. Even if I was sharing a room with a family member, I'd be as slow and quit as I could, touch myself under the covers, finish in my underwear and then showechange the next morning like it was normal. Moving forward, this type of behavior continues all the way throughout high school and the feeling of ejaculating just is not as intense as it use to be, so I look up ways to spice it up and I tried shit all the way from sitting on my own hand til it goes sort or numb so it "feels like someone else is touching you", to doing it in more risky places like my backyard outside when I was home alone and had my pants pulled down all the way, to whatever else I could try. Reflecting back, I just look at all these actions as the progressions of a sexual/porn addiction that is still developing. And this is how I rationalize the way I developed a porn addiction. Now it wasn't AWFUL in high school but it was getting bad. I realized that I had actually had a bad addiction that needed to be addressed a few months after graduating high school. From that point forward It was something that I had acknowledged was an issue but nonetheless, continued to do out of habit and as a continued coping mechanism. Whether it was from the lack of relationships, to my current life situation/direction I was headed in, or just any negative emotion - I used porn to release. Sometimes I'd even just do it out of boredom, not even because I had a dying urge to get one off. And then after that point of realization, I sat in "depression" for a few months still going about my everyday life until one day my dad mentioned that I should try therapy. He knew nothing about the addiction but I did let him know I feel depressed and the many struggles that I faced - which I believe is due to my porn addiction. So long story short, I go to therapy for about 3 sessions and end up dropping it because it just wasn't something I felt was helping or enjoyed (more on that later). From there to current day, I've gone at MOST one week periods attempting to quit porn and every time I relapse. From the age of 1 to-current day 21 years old, the progression of the categories of porn that I watch has grown and a few different fetishes like face sitting, femdom, and role play has increased. I don't NEED to watch these specific categories to get off, however these are ones I've found myself most recently watching and edging to, sometimes for 1-3 hours at a time, usually at night on weekends or before I fall asleep. And to take it a step further, I had started pouring money into camgirl sites, phone sex sites, only fans, etc.. I live with my parents still so it's not to the point that I'm broke and have no money, but still what the fuck am I doing putting my hard earned money into a porn addiction... (I'm a functioning adult on a pathway to financial freedom, more on this later).
Main struggles from my PA and how I go about everyday life to heal: So I believe that the main struggles with my porn addiction consist of: the inability/struggle to create and maintain healthy relationships, low self esteem, poor social skills, lack of motivation, and the cognitive dissonance of continuing my addiction to porn even though morally I believe it is wrong to lust over. I believe all of these struggles that come with porn are connected to each other - minus the cognitive dissonance. But everything else kind of stacks on top of each other. So my thought process is that I already dealt w/ low self esteem and confidence from a very young age, and porn just completely enhanced those problems and made it even harder to fix/work on. If you're anything like me and have watched videos on the sciences of porn on your brain, and possible struggles that we deal with, I'm assuming you know how it goes for the most part. I'd say I show symptoms of all effects of being a porn addict, however I've learned to "act normal" to an extent. Like YES I struggle to make friends and hold conversations with people in general but I can make it happen. Sure it'll be a little awkward depending on who I'm speaking to, but I feel like I act normal enough to not be a total outcast and all out weirdo around people. But I just feel like every relationship I have with anyone is extremely surface level or unfulfilling. I feel like as a person I lack so much substance and personality due to the fact that I never really put myself out there and learned social skills when I was coming up. My mindset was molded into something like "keep your head down and stay out the way" in order to avoid conflict. So I never really put myself out there to develop any type of super crazy/interesting personality. I work, play videogames, go to the gym, watch anime. I feel like there's not much else - which might also be a side affect of my porn addiction. Lack of emotion. And I refuse to call it depression. Kind of got red pilled by Andrew Tate Philosophy and it entirely HAS helped me. Maybe it's real, maybe it's not - because when I was fresh out of high school and hyper focused on the bad parts of my life, I felt depressed as shit. Legit like I couldn't do anything to fix it. And the more I identified as "depressed" the more I allowed myself to look for things in my life to confirm that belief. So eventually I went on a self improvement journey and just stopped allowing "depression" to hold power over me. Now I don't believe in it so it's not something that can hold me down in that crippling way. HOWEVER, I DO believe in just being in a shitty situation - which is what I feel like having a porn addiction along with it's effects and symptoms is. It's a shitty situation and I can either allow it to keep ruining my life OR I can get up everyday and attempt to fix it. And I refuse to play the victim card. Sure, I may have been exposed to some fucked up shit at a young age and used porn as a coping mechanism. There is no denying that it happened and that it may have been unfair and out of my control. YES, that's my problem. I may be a victim of pornography but I do not have to ALLOW it to continue to ruin my life. Easier said than done but it's definitely possible and I will not blame my lack of discipline or call it "depression" because I'm unable to quit. The way I see it is, there is a lot of shit that happened to me in the past that I have to come to terms with, and then I must come up with a plan to improve and learn how to be better. For example, struggling to hold eye contact with people, hold basic conversation with people (specifically women), find confidence within myself, become more social, etc... These are all skills that we can practice and learn. Simply by going outside and putting ourselves in uncomfortable situations that allow us to put the reps in. I believe that if I quit porn and start walking up to 10 strangers a day and try having simple conversations with them, in time I can only get better at being social and connecting with people. It's gonna suck and feel like shit at first, but I truly believe that it's a way to improve and get better. As I stand in my current situation I would say I have a lot of work to do but I'm still a functioning addict. I have friendships and relationships with family but they are very lack luster and I long for something deeper and more intimate. I know I'm not ugly and have the ability to pull a good looking girl, shit I've turned down this really pretty girl who always asks to hangout simply due to the fact that I feel like I'm gonna fuck it up and have bad social skills. And its getting to a point where friends and family are wondering why I haven't had a girlfriend in years. Overall its a lack of self esteem, which hinders me from being able to confidently put myself out there as a person who's deserving of love/companionship, which then makes me sort of self isolate and stray away from any type of connection or opportunity to be vulnerable. Which just leads me to feeling like a loser or someone that is undeserving of love because I'm just in a shitty situation. And yeah. Its kind of a self sabotaging cycle because I feel like I understand what's going on but I don't have the discipline and don't put the work in to get better. But that's just my two cents. This post was extremely long and I probably rifted off topic a few times and had my thoughts all over the place, and I still have a lot more I could give input about but this is the jist of everything
If anyone has a support group or needs someone to talk to, 1. I'd like to join the group, or 2. Feel free to message me for any support or conversation.

I run a small YouTube channel (barely profitable) and edit my videos with DaVinci Resolve. I'm also a university student, so I need a laptop. I cannot stand Windows 11, find Linux too difficult, and want something easy to use so I got an M2 MacBook Air for $850 from Best Buy (discounted as the M3 is now available)
The 8 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD seemed pathetic and almost discouraged me from buying the computer, but I realized it is perfectly usable! The memory pressure stays green during normal web browsing and only turns yellow when doing video editing. If I were doing 4K video I would want something better, but for 1080p I can do all my editing effortlessly. The storage is limiting, but I archive my raw video and old files externally so it is not a big deal.
I am impressed by MacOS, it is so easy to use and reliable, and the iPhone integration is a plus. The hardware is nice too, MagSafe is convenient and leaves two USB-C ports free for other stuff (like my iPhone for copying photos or my external drive for backups). The tight integration between hardware and software means the battery lasts all day, I no longer have to carry a charger with me. I also appreciate the sturdy aluminum construction, high-resolution Retina display, and precise trackpad.
I never thought I would be an Apple person, but here I am. I am not interested in technology at all, I want it to work reliably so I can focus on what is important to me, getting stuff done! So if you are doubting if the 8 GB Macs are good enough, I would say they are when on sale.

I'm reading posts about Nexon struggling with their finances and the game having less players than their expectations, so my aim in this post is to all of us have some good feedbacks and discussions to how to make the game better.
I reached in Discord feedback channels but most of the times my feedbacks got buried by other's balance feedbacks. Here I want to discuss more potential game changing feedbacks that might help the developers get better vision and ideas for their game. I love the game and how much developers and their marketing team respect us with their good pricing and free skin giveaways so I want to give back to them.
I invite others to upvote good feedbacks and discuss new mechanics and possible solutions to game's low population (in publisher's eyes). I don't think balance issues should be discussed here cause we already discussed them a lot.
As others mentioned I don't think the game has monetization problems cause I've seen my friends and me all paying for skins without feeling ripped off and love to pay for their great skins and the game has the most reasonable price to quality for cosmetics in the whole PvP shooters I've seen.
Here is some of my feedback discussions:

Photo Mode and Replays:

One huge feature that I think would change is photo mode. But to have photo mode in middle of the game you can't have it without replays cause of the nature of the game being online.
One simple suggestion I have is to add a prototype photo mode in loudouts. I love to change the pose of my character based on game animations or already in game expressions. It would be great to have a timeline of the animation so we can pause the animation in a specific time and take a photo with nice filters, effects or even different lightning if it's possible. I mention lightning cause Finals lightning is the most astonishing lighting I've seen specially on shiny guns. It should have camera movement, zoom, focus and the usuals of photo modes.
Doing this can result in better advertisement of the game from players using photos for their profiles or even wallpapers or YouTube thumbnails and it will help us advertise the game ourselves or just simply enjoy the details of the game graphics.

Non-Objective Game Modes:

Another discussed topic is to make the game have Team Deathmatch or just Deathmatch for newer players to experience the game without the stress of objectives and necessarily committing to a goal and just get experienced with weapons and gadgets or any other game mode that just gives players cash (game points) for just killing and not completing objectives (like depositing). A gun game mode could be fun, just guns switch after killing and at the end we have dagger only weapon. Doing this requires smaller maps that I will discuss in the next part.

Smaller Maps or Limited Play Area:

Most of The Finals maps are pretty big with repeated buildings and shapes, it is understandable as design point cause it will make use of reusing same premade objects that helps the game with performance and lower disc space along with less development times. My suggestions is to either make smaller maps that I understand takes a lot of time, map design is not an easy task, for this reason other solution is to limit the play area to smaller sections (it can be easily added by the lore that CNS corrupted the map data and things like that). Doing so would cause another problem that is the destruction of the buildings and map can make the map look flat after destroying the objects. A solution I have to this is to add some interactable objects that would reconstruct the buildings or some part of the map with added cooldown. Doing this my cause some physics problems but another solution to this is repel (knockout) the players out of that area and reconstruct the building so it would prevent players getting stuck somewhere on the reconstructed part.
It would be great if mods could help me with this post and reach out to developers for better visibility. I highly suggest others discuss about these or their own game changing feedbacks to help the game become better. We are a community and a group that I'm sure most of us love the game and want to see it succeed. As always be civil and don't argue with others feedback without good reasoning.
Edit: added gun game mode suggestion.

I don't think I speak for the majority of this subreddit but I have been encountering a lot more "agency owners" who fell into the YouTube guru trap and instead of actually getting free certifications from platforms, they give away all their money to those gurus.
This post is my attempt to stear those people into the right direction before spending all of their money.
Whenever a new "agency owner" (or someone looking to start an agency) asks me about where to start for learning ads (doesn't matter which platform, Google, Facebook, etc), they seem dumbfounded when I tell them that Google and Meta have FREE ad courses where they teach you how to run ads on their own platform AND you get a certification from Google and Meta.
Why does everyone immediately jump to YouTube and start giving these gurus their money without even taking the free courses and getting certified?
I think one of the biggest issues I have with wannabe agency owners is they want to own and operate an agency and are willing to "learn" what it takes to own a successful agency, but when I tell them what it takes is actually learning how to perform the service you sell, it falls on deaf ears.
I'll tell you this right now, if you're not actually willing to learn and become an expert in the service you're selling, you're not going to make it. You're going to be another one of the thousands of people who gave a YouTube guru money with the hopes of one day being a millionaire only to eventually turn to crypto day trading scams.
And just to show that I'm not only just ranting... here...
Here are actual FREE courses FROM Google and Meta on how to run any type of ads on their platform AND get certified by them:Google:

• E-Commerce & Digital Marketing Certification
• All Google Ads Certifications
• Google Analytics Certification
• Google Tag Manager Fundamentals Course

**I put all of these Google courses on here because regardless of which platform you use to run ads or market, knowing and understanding analytics and conversion tracking within Google Analytics (especially using Tag Manager) is extremely important for any agency looking to actually prove value/ROI to their clients.Facebook/Instagram:

• Meta Blueprint Certification

**This has literally everything you need to know about Facebook & Instagram marketing. Organic, paid, video, AI, etc.TikTok:

• TikTok Academy

**I included this one just to show that you really can just Google "[platform] ad certification/course/academy" and find a free set of courses FROM the actual platform for FREE.Hubspot:

• Hubspot Academy

**Finally, Hubspot Academy isn't platform-specific. But there are a TON of courses and certifications here ranging from inbound marketing to content marketing, and even email marketing and SEO.
ALL FREE.
Lastly, I'll say that there is a time and place for paid courses from other agency owners and experienced coaches. But AFTER you do the research yourself and take some basic-level free certifications from actual platforms.
Creator courses are fine if you're looking to get deeper information but there isn't a need to start there.
One thing paid creator courses can teach you is how to run an agency from a business perspective. But 9x out of 10, executing the actual ads can be found in free courses.

So I was thinking about the old days when I looked up Sonamy stories on YouTube and thought it was “PEAK CINEMA” especially when it involved Sally being murdered (I’ve changed now. Sally’s… alright. She doesn’t deserve the hate)
And it lead me to want to talk about the crazy stories people have read in regards to Sonamy fanfiction.
Here’s one that I vaguely remember. A Sonamy fanfiction in which Amy was going through a Training arc. It started off fairly basic when Sally comes in and it’s steryotypical evil Sally stuff. Then Sonic becomes a LITERAL DEMON! A HUGE ASS DEMON! Just to scare off Sally. And I think Amy could do that too she said at one point… like I said… I saw that on YouTube… and thought this was ULTIMATE FICTION! And then they had sex and made a baby.
That now lives in my head rent free. And I need to know what other cringy Sonamy stories you’ve came across.

Okay, I just watched her latest YouTube installment where she's hawking a meal delivery kit. Said kit came with ready to bake cookie dough and both Jesse and Bin said (at different times) that the cookies had no sugar in them.
Were they sugar free? Of course not, they were made with maple syrup! In what universe is maple syrup not sugar?
That's when I stopped watching so I have no idea what happened in the rest of the video. Made me inexplicably ragey.

Hey all! This is a bit weird for me being almost 40 and looking for friends. But here I am anyways lol. Mainly looking for someone to message throughout the day and get to know. Maybe game with if we have that in common. I do work from home so there’s no one to really talk to during the day.
I’m married and have 2 kids, a 6 month old son and a 9 year old daughter. I’m into basic nerdy things. Gaming, star wars, super heroes, DnD, etc. Also trading card games like Disney Lorcana and Star Wars Unlimited.
I watch a ton of Critical Role stuff especially Campaign 3! Currently on episode 74, so if you watch too, let me know! Also like to watch Battle of the Brands on YouTube.
I’m also into movies and tv, some sports, pro wrestling. Collecting action figures and retro games is one of hobbies as well. Anything 80s/90s nostalgia i absolutely love so if you want to talk childhood and growing up back then, i’m down! I miss the good old days where we went to arcades and italian sunday dinners at the grandparents and where the world just wasn’t as nutso as it is today lol.
My kids are everything to me and I do love talking about them. Love being silly with them and spending time with them (when they aren’t driving me crazy 🤪 lol)..I would prefer you be around my age and have kids as well just so we have that stuff in common off the bat! I’m socially awkward most times but very easy to get along with. I’m definitely considered an introvert. But once you get to know me I break out of that awkward shell. I do like to use sarcasm, and mostly like to try and make people laugh because a world without laughter would just be horrible.
Alright i’ll shut up now but I’d like to think i’m an awesome person to get to know and hopefully there’s more you’d like to know so feel free to DM me! (I looove using GIFs so if you message me, open up with a funny one! Especially since then i’ll know you actually read this 😂)

Moved to Toronto, Canada a few years ago & looking to get know a lovely woman & see where it leads us in the future. Someone who I can eventually call my better half, partner-in-crime, yin to my yang, soulmate or whatever else you can think off.

Sorry if the flair isn't appropriate, the mods are free to message me if it isn't and I'll see what I can do.
So I like the Signal Pack. But something I noticed about it is that some of the blocks seem a little too similar to certain mods on the Workshop.
If you're watched any sort of SE related content on YouTube or modded the game at all, you've probably come across mods made by Sektan, who's very prominent on the workshop. One of his favorite mods of mine is the Interior Walls, which in my opinion, bears a suspicious resemblance to the new inset walls.
And then you have the console modules, which look kinda like the Spacebar Command Consoles and Kolt's Console Pack. Come to think of it, the armored thrusters introduced in Warfare 2 look a lot like the Modular Thrusters made by Sektan, too.
I don't want to point fingers at Keen or accuse anyone of anything, but I'm starting to get the impression that they're taking mods off the Workshop and essentially rebranding them as vanilla content. I really hope this isn't the case and Keen was just inspired by these mods, or maybe these modders are working for Keen now. I'm not exactly in the loop with the SE scene online anymore so I don't know if that's possible or not.
Maybe I'm just seeing connections where there are none, I'm glad to be corrected if I am. And for the record, I've put roughly a thousand hours into this game across two Steam accounts and Xbox, so you could say I'm quite a fan of this game. I'd just like to see the people making content for it out of passion getting the credit they deserve.

Hare Kṛṣṇa to all devotees,
Daṅḍavat Praṇām.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
I'm really working hard to make short videos for YouTube, which consist of the pure holy name japa of Śrīla Prabhupāda and excerpts from his books. Even one excerpt from his book is capable of changing the heart of a jīva. This I've constantly heard from my senior devotees. Hence, I would request you to please subscribe to my channel and click on the bell icon so that you can watch all my latest videos. At least 500 people are going to see this post. I request you not to ignore this, as your one minute will help me reach hundreds of people—that's how the YouTube algorithm works.

Also if anyone is interested to give some suggestions feel free...
Your Servant
