How do I stop?

[2414763h]

I hate my addictions man I feel like they are taking control of my life.

I just gooned today and broke my streak and I feel so down.

NoFap is cope, as long as you're under 18 or so and it isn't actively harming your life in any way it's fine. It's just hormones and your brain adapting to suddenly becoming a sexually capable creature, once you grow up not only will these desires become much rarer but you won't even have time to fap.

If you want any advice, just get busy, but it really doesn't matter, it's just a phase bro

I hate jerking off because I want to quit but I can’t and I feel my self esteem decreasing when I can’t meet my own promises

Yeah, that's the thing with the NoFap movement. Jerking off is kind of nasty, but NoFap dudes completely blow that out of proportion and tie it to your self-esteem, confidence, and even fucking suggest it causes any physical issues, of course you're gonna feel bad about jerking off if you hear all of these horrible things about it.

Your brain already internalized it as bad, so even if it really isn't, you're going to have some kind of psychological effect. I guess you can keep trying, but it's no easy task to trump your neurology/biology, as I said, once you're done with puberty, your hormones become stable and life happens, you will completely forget about masturbation.. hopefully

Recognizing that your internal beliefs shape your emotional reaction to the behavior more than the behavior itself is the thing you probably should do.

Maybe that is true.
Perhaps my beliefs and what I consume online may have changed how it shapes my emotional reaction to the behaviour of jerking off.
The behaviour just feels defeating because I would prefer to have sex instead of jerking off and I cry a bit after I jerk off because I know that I can’t get a woman and I’m just scared that even if I do put all the work I can it won’t be enough.
