Need to get life outside of computer.

Post Reply New Topic

Things that WON'T work:

Trying to make friends with people my age (Why would i want close-minded people for friends?)
Trying out Playstation games (I'm bored of my PS2,period)
Exercising (Too much work for NO benefit)

Now recommend ways for me to get a life off the computer.

Anyone?

lol join the club

WTF you talking about?

Ummm, I think wiggerbeater is in the same boat as you are.

As to your original question, why bother?

Take a course in something? Or do one with part correspondance and the odd local lecture group so its not too "outside"?

Im sure many of us on here are in the same boat , I know I am!

Music.

Try any instrument. Bands like Flogging Molly prove any instrument can be awesome

Because my mom and older brother are forcing me to...

I see. Bummer. Do you have anything you're really interested in outside of computers?

Historical RTS Games,but i have a POS computer and IDK if i'll ever get new one.

Do something outrageous like joining a radical political group, so your family start begging and pleading you to sit in front of your computer again.

If you need to get a good computer, you could get a job and buy one in a few months. If you're too young to get a real job, you could do errands and mow lawns or a paper route, at least until you save up enough money for a good computer.

Which do you like better, history or strategy games? If history, go to the library and look over the books that you like. If strategy games, you could try your hand at chess or stratego. You could even make money by inventing your own game.

1. Read books as a hobby.
2. Take up some sort of model building hobby.
3. Play more video games, get a Playstation 3.

You could...
learn a foreign language,
learn to play an instrument,

Go to some sort of night class in:
astronomy
politics
some sort of sport
get some more qualifications

Find an author you really like and read all his works

find anything that interests you and take it further

Not all people are closed-minded. If you're interested in having friends, but just don't want the closed-minded kind, then just go out and find some good people. They're there. When you think you've found those kinds of people, try to avoid them.

Another way you could find people that might work for you is by joining a club like someone else already mentioned. If you can find somebody with mutual interests, you'll have a much better chance of having a meaningful encountered, and who knows, maybe the best friend you've ever had.


lol, then somebody proposes that you get a PS3. A PS3 is more like a PC than even a PS2!


Exercise is a lot of work, but it's not for no benefit. Just a little exercise done consistently will make a big difference in your life. I know for me, I like to be able to see the effects of my exercise, so I lift weights. It's sort of like what you see those teenagers doing with their cars, "pimping" them out. It's the same idea, really. You do work on it, and it changes according to what you do. Kind of fun. It's really just another thing to do with the added benefit that it's healthy and girls dig buff bodies.



Learn an instrument. Listen to music, go to concerts.

But actually, you know what I would recommend? Figure out what you're really good at. Maybe you're good at programming, music, writing, picking your nose, picking up chicks, etc. Figure out what thing you're really good at and then do it, and then figure out how to make money with it. Figure out how to leverage it to your own advantage to make money, or maybe even a career. I think if you successfully make that work, you'll be happier than most other people on this planet.

PS3? LMFAO! there are zero games on ANY console that can amuse me,PC 4 Life,its that simple my friend.

I suck at mowing lawns,paper routes won't work because i have to do them at night,and IDK of anyone who would let me to any errands for them.

And i'm not into astromony and music or stuff like that.
