The impact porn has on me
I feel like porn had a bigger impact on my life than it did. I feel more sensitive, angry, irritable, less sexually healthy, less mentally healthy, motivation went down, happiness went down. I only viewed women as objects and could never fully be friends with a girl. All from porn. Now that I am off porn I feel like I have been so much happier lately, more excited to see friends and make conversation. More excited to do new things and I’m more confident when making confrontations. I’ve been more resilient when dealing with setbacks while at the same time I feel so much more sensitive to the things my girlfriend says to me. More angry when things don’t go my way. I really hope I’m not blaming porn on my personal issues but after every fight I have with my girlfriend, every time I reflect on an issue I have been dealing with and receiving advice. It traces back to my addiction. Is it true? That porn can have this much of an impact on one’s identity and way of thinking?
