    How does one live it?

    What's required for a person to have a life nowadays?

    I have two options

    Spend the rest of my life in a chatroom while working and gaming or start living life like a normal healthy person?

    Because social lives usually involve drink --and i don't really care for most alcohol except Leffe. And they don't serve Leffe everywhere.

    What should i do?

    Get a social life?

    Because i really don't know how i should live life.

    There's really no manual for it.

    Maybe it's best to just consume knowledge.


    So how does one live life?

    The only requirement that I'm aware of is to not be dead.
    :shrug:

    You will have to define "a life".

    They find out what makes them happy, content and brings them peace of mind.

    One breathes air, eats food and pays taxes.

    Much else is voluntary.

    Perhaps read some self-help books on assertiveness, and learn to become comfortable being yourself (with your specific likes and dislikes) regardless of the situation you are in.

    If you can afford your own living by chatting and gaming, by all means, do it. Do whatever you want, or nothing at all.

    Most people think that life is a job. So much time is spent at work that very little time is left for actually living.

    Get some friends that share like interest and spend time hanging with them whenever time permits, and if you happen to find someone who has a life you like try and emulate it. If it doesn't work out, you will have learned a great deal for the next life project. As for hanging out on a forum, I say be thankful you have that option. An online social life is better than none at all.

    You have many more. You are presently only considering two.

    Chatrooms are generally considered pretty 'normal' these days.

    What do you think of as a normal healthy person ?

    There are plenty of people who socialize without fortified beverages.

    What do you want?

    I'm replying to you, as are others. What are we? Chopped liver?

    Welcome to the same dilemma facing everyone.

    That's one of the reasons that I check in on this forum, to see what others are thinking/chatting about. Learn some interesting, and even useful, things.


    Depends on what you WANT.

    First one defines a goal or a few. Then one determines how best to achieve them.

    Works for me.

    Then again, I set goals that are reasonable and then go to work. I don't buy lottery tickets and defer my objectives until I win the big one.

    Very succinct, yet excellent advice Varda.

    Please give us a little more to work with. Otherwise an answer to that question would fill fifty screens.

    How old are you? Are you in school, grad school, working, looking for work? Are you married, engaged, dating, living with parents? Do you live in a city, small town, rural area? Do you have any pets, good friends, relatives who really care? Hobbies, sports, music, other interests? What are your goals--what would you like people to say you accomplished after you're gone?

    I've worked in marketing for a company for three years now but the last year i have done my work from home. I'm single. I'm in my mid twenties. I play videogames and build computers as my main hobbies. I use forums and a live video chatroom to talk about my interests.

    I live a very comfortable life right now. I'm too comfortable so to speak.

    Heck, I'm even doing my shopping from home now.

    I have left myself go because of it. I have put on 40 pounds in weight due to my lifestyle.

    So i think maybe i should start doing more stuff outdoors as it is summer now. Perhaps get a ''life'' as some people say, or whatever a life is.

    Well you are a little young to be a single hermit. So lose a few pounds and find a women and watch your life change one way or the other.

    I do know people that have done that and are reasonably happy. It doesn't matter how you get a woman in your life. It's just if you do things will change for you a great deal. But always keep in mind that no relationship is much better than a bad relationship.

    lol... "I do know people..." internet dating is now the norm. People have taken the weekend night bar scene to okcupid.

    Heh, you're fucking lucky.

    Sounds like all you need is some exercise so you won't feel like shit about yourself. Get a bike or start running outside. Or even get a club membership somewhere since you can afford it. You'll feel great.

    My life pretty much revolves around my family. I don't what I will do when my kids leave the nest. When I was younger, work was the hub of my life.

    define normal
    define healthy
    define life
    :shrug:

    you get out of life what you put into it, no more, no less..

    see above.
    test all things, hold on to what is good.

    um..there is a guide book..you still gotta make your own decisions though..

    desire alone is not enough.

    with floppy feet and a round red nose..

    consider;
    think,feel,know,believe.
    what you think about it,
    what you feel about it,
    what you know about it,
    and what you believe about it.
    ('it' being 'whatever')


    ----
    i remember a discussion on when is one actually dead?..

    Just enjoy what you are doing and don't worry too much. If you don't feel comfortable, do something else. That's it. It's totally awesome when you think of it.
