Hello, I have been looking at this subreddit a while since I realized that I was addicted, or at least at a place that was causing me grief. I was wondering if that looking at this type of porn was a symptom of low self-esteem. I believe it definitely preys on feelings of insecurity and low self-worth, so I guess it is an easy answer. I was wondering how many people on here have very low self-esteem, and if anybody has taken the approach of working on that more than working on porn addiction.

I know people who come out of this experience can go any way, like transgender, straight, bi, or gay. And honestly, I just want to be happy, but it is so damn confusing. I feel that if I could fix my low self-esteem and self loathing I would have a much easier time figuring out what the rest of my life will be. What do y'all think?
