Help me with bad habits
16 M. Im making this post to help me live more morally correct. I feel kind of broken as a human mainly whilst at home. Ive been doing well in bettering myself in basically every aspect. But I want to be more pure and gain serotonin and dopamine from good things instead of bad. I’m very active and work very hard and I do things and think differently than basically anyone I know (in a good way). But I heavily struggle with masturbation problems and abusing things like that for dopamine. I know this time in my life is abundant with hormones. But everything in my life seems so broken, I could care less about having a girlfriend, I’m not a very big hobby guy but I get jealous when I see people who are talented in their hobbies. For me it’s either doing something hard or progressing in something or just doing something to pick up dopamine like masturbation. (used to also be weed but I haven’t done that in a while) I just want to be more innocent I guess and pure hearted because I wouldn’t particularly say I like myself or am happy. I want to learn how to gain dopamine from good things at home. I currently gain dopamine from doing things like my job and growing my business with sports, and then scrolling and masturbation. I want to get rid of that second part and replace it with things that are good for me, but my brain just can’t grasp enjoying anything, like piano, reading and things like that. I would prefer a guy who’s experienced something like this and what they did to fix it. Any tips about what I said will be appreciated thank you.
