I'm feeling really stuck with this porn addiction and it's taking a big toll on my time and energy. Lately, whenever I'm alone in my room at night, I can't help but watch porn until I fall asleep, and I end up masturbating. I've tried to control it myself, but it's just not working and it's affecting my productivity. Could you please offer some advice on how to overcome this?

I'm really struggling with shyness whenever I'm around girls. Even a simple touch makes me feel like there's an electric current running through me, and it's been like this since I was in Class 4, not just starting from 9th grade. I went to a coed school from LKG, so it's not like I haven't been around girls. It's complicated because Ive always been quite poor with academics, but I'm super active in sports. Do you think this shyness could be some sort of psychic issue?
