Whenever I undertake a journey of self improvement whether in terms of academics or fitness or nofap or anything, after doing any session, during my free time I start thinking and imagining. I imagine what would happen if I reached my goal. What would happen when I try to approach a 9/10 or an 8/10 and my mind says "Not possible". I imagine what would be the reaction of others when I will achieve my goal.
You see, I keep doing mental masturbation and divert all my energy to my brain and waste it into making these scenarios as real as possible. Due to this, I become tired and de-motivated to do the self-improvement and slip into an incel like mindset and self destructive tendencies like porn and fapping. I can't go without it for more than 2 days.
I know many people here advocate fapping without porn but my mind says "It's just once in 2 days, so might as well do it with porn."
I remember about 3 years ago when I was about 14, I had a test within 3 days and I completed 14 chapters of the syllabus in those 3 days simply because the teacher and a classmate had insulted me. I wanted to prove that teacher wrong while for the classmate, I wanted to increase the gap between his overall percentage and mine. I ended up getting 96/100.
During those 3 days, my mind couldn't think of anything else other than studying! Also, I never got tired of studying. I was always looking forward to the next chapter, the next exercise, the next question.
THERE WAS NO ENERGY WASTING WITH MENTAL MASTURBATION. The thought of what would happen if I achieved it never came across my mind.
How do I get into this state back again instead of going again and again in an incel like cycle?
Obligatory: I am 17, turning 18 soon and within 1 week my high school will be over and my college will start within a few weeks(or 2 months). During this phase, I want to slaaaaaaay, slay af. I don't want money although I don't mind it. I know pussy shouldn't be the goal but I don't have anything other than that. Before TRP, I wanted to prevent the decline but after TRP, I am trying to enjoy it and pussy is the only way I know of enjoying it. I have over 300+ Reddit posts saved and about 110 YouTube videos downloaded offline on becoming physically attractive, NoFap and getting a more handsome face. But I am nervous about what would happen if I achieve it. I still think I would show beta tendencies in front of an 8/10 because I will always consider her above myself as she will always have a higher value male than me ready to be with her so she has so many options.
It's almost like, I am afraid of my true potential or my best version and that's why my brain uses mental masturbation as a mechanism to prevent myself from becoming my best version.
