Being on a computer and thinking you have a social life is the same as doing a workout online instead of a gym/fitness center and calling yourself healthy and fit.

Work on your social skills... Way healthier

I really don't see what difference it makes, if you're doing something that makes you happy, that's all that matters. Not everyone likes hanging out with other people- I usually hate other people. I can count on one hand the people I actually like and that goes for online as well as "real life." If you're sitting around the house sad and depressed and you could have gone out and had a good time, yeah, that's sad. But if you're sitting at home playing video games, or watching movies, or posting on a forum, or talking in a chat room, and it makes you happy, go for it! No one can decide what's good or bad for you, only you can do that!

Internet addiction? Yes, I probably have it. Thats not to say I'd turn down an invitation to go out and do something..depending on what that was.

Well said!!
