1. Stop working.
2. Find a hobby or go to the clubs and limit your internet usages.
3. you can still go out with friends and have a good time without consuming alcohol i do it all the time :) go on dates meet people get a hobbie join a gym
4. socialize more, try to socialize.
5. do crossword puzzles
6. start drinking, stop working and throw your computer away
7. At Least you have Work.
8. Get into music. Learn to play an intrument and practive alot. You'll feel alot better. Maybe go to church.
9. So... you are asking the largest group of social inadequates the world has ever seen...? Good luck with that!
10. join a group with similar interests to yours
11. Go to a gym or swimming in the mornings or a late night swim when you finish work. Do some voluntary work one or two mornings a week.
12. You're fine mate - honest ;-) you sound like a cool bloke if I may say so myself. treat youreslf to a 4pack of lager once in a while - xmas is coming up, no harm in enjoying a bit of wife beater this xmas ^^
13. You can go to social events but not drink alcohol. What I did is started a hobby in raising cichlids.
14. go out for a walk...turn pc and tv off...just get out of house...enjoy your life and the beautiful evening outside...even iof you simply go to supermarket for a late night grocery shop. Cook and bake and do art and stuff at night too--listen to some late night jazz on radio while you accomplish somethings...also u can read a book. don't let the pc suck you in--it's unhealthy.
15. You just have to get out there and try new things, find some new hobbies and interests you enjoy. For example, why not join your local gym, go out with friends to the cinema or even join a art and craft club? There are so many things to do out there, life does not always revolve around work. There is much more to life than work. Enjoy life while you can as we're all going to die at some point too. Have a fabulous Christmas! :D
16. I'm in exactly the same situation. I work 9-5 and the rest of the time I'm online, namely here. It seems neverending. Sometimes I make myself go out shopping or to the cinema. but it's so frustrating! Good luck.
17. Smoke a shit load of the best weed u can buy then buy a motorbike and bleach your hair white, then take a big long look at your life take time out for reflection the answer you seek will jump out into your mind only then will you be contented with yourself.
