Can the NoFap Flatline Cause Social Anxiety?

The NoFap Flatline happens 3-4 weeks after beginning NoFap, and is marked by having a low libido.

Given that suddenly losing your sex drive may cause fear and stress, it is possible that the flatline can lead to relapsing or feeling social anxiety. It is possible that the flatline can frustrate you and cause you to socially withdraw. For most guys, social withdrawal from the flatline is not going to last for a long time, so you shouldn’t worry about it. The flatline doesn’t usually last for more than 1-2 weeks.
