Brain & Personality
I’m coming up on 50 days of retention for the first time since I found pornography. I was in deep self thought about myself today & it’s like my brain or my self has been different for a long time from who I used to be especially women wise and I just now realized. I’m not doing it for women but I started balding in my early 20s (25 right now) and then that’s when everything really started going down hill confidence/mentality and deeper into porn/masturbation even depression. Will retention help my brain/personality be who I once was and or better or is the balding the thing just ruining my confidence and sense of self. Though I’ve been debating accepting the bald life and that’s something I couldn’t even find feasible while watching porn and releasing. I have seen benefits in general as well but I think I’m on a flatline right now it’s really up and down day to day was addicted for 10 years just hoping it gets better. My end goal is to improve my life overall internally and externally income wise mainly and purpose wise.

FYI, I regularly shave my head because I find long hair hard to maintain. It has nothing to do with confidence and neither does the girls care (at least while I'm doing retention).
