Internet obsession

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone else here are always on their computers for hours? I had this obsession for years now and I spend almost 4 hours every day just looking at the same videos over and over again, check out fanart, play games, looking up articles, or other mindless things. I really would like to do something else but I don't really feel like it because all I want to do is be online. How can I stop this obsession or reduce it?

4 hours? Pfff, casual.

Well, the way I sometimes do it is find out what I can do instead of computer, and then shutdown computer and do that activity. It's pretty simple actually. But it's difficult to find stuff to do that's actually fun.
Maybe you could get a book that you're interested in and commit to reading it with some tea.

My computer needs my love all day long.

Only 4 hours a day?

A mere 4 hours a day hardly constitutes an addiction. If I lived on my own, I envisage that I would be mindlessly online for 8-10 hours each day. Ironically, I derive little satisfaction from being in front of a screen all the time, but when one has no friends, no job and no real passion in anything, there isn't much else to do.

I keep reading that those on the spectrum have unique talents and interests, yet I curiously do not. I cannot draw. I cannot write. Although reading was once enjoyable for me, my comprehension is atrocious and I have quite literally no imagination at all, thus it seems like a pointless activity. Video games haven't interested me since adolescence. My television is seldom used because I don't honestly care about events that are unfolding in today's world, and I find most of the popular TV shows to be either pretentious or excessively CGI'd. The enchanting thought of being strapped up in a straitjacket in the confines of a padded room grows more appealing with each passing day.
