I can't imagine people hate you hun. You seem like quite a wonderful person. I know it's hard when you feel like you don't have a lot of friends in your life, but sometimes you just have to get out there and get to know people. Try getting involved in different groups or sports to meet people.
There is such a thing as too much time spent online, so if you feel it's keeping you from other things, definitely try and cut back on how often you are on your computer. I know that sometimes I spend wayyy too much time online too, but I find if I give myself a limit before I even get on, it's easier to control my time spent on here.

Hey, i just biked to the library with a foot of snow... addicted just the same. my parent's don't get it.
Try, cuz you can, don't stop, cuz you can't.
Why ask why? Why not ask why not? You can't do anything if you don't attempt it. Perfection is the closest possible, which is no point. Nothing's impossible. I live for the future, while enjoying the present, and never forgetting the past. |

I'm having the same exact problem, I really like Chris's idea, how do you do that though?

I don't think I can offer the best advice, because I'm trying to gain a social life myself. I don't go to school anymore (I do cyber school) and I don't have many friends, or a job or anything. I just had to let you know that I'm here for you through this, and that I'm struggling through it too. We'll find the answer together, eh? If you ever need to talk, I'm here. And if I were to live near you, we'd totally be buddies and be not social together. ![]() Don't let this get you down, and just keep trying. You'll get through this!

I'm definitely right there with you. I have more friends online then in real life and then when I just want to talk to someone who can physically be there for me, I get even more upset because I realize there isn't really anyone...
I'm on the internet from the moment I walk in the door after school until way past when I should be sleeping. |

the internet is my drug in soemways, the internet is addictive, im addicted to the internet, i no i am, my parents banned me from the internet on sunday but without it i was really not coping and most sundays i was in tears from not coping without the internet. so they gave me the internet back. there was a quiz in a newspaper to do with internet addiction and in the newspaper article it said 'peoople who had experienced some sort of truama are more likely to turn to the internet for a world of online friends' and it also said ' when using the internet the people who are addicted to the internet feel increase euphoria' i cant be sure if that is exaclty what it said but it said something along those lines then went on to explain how the internet is used a coping mechanisim. it then went on to talk about bad internet addictions the person in the article had a really bad internet addiction and were using the internet 20 hours a day or more. they got sent to a farm where there was no internet and learnt ways to cope without using the internet and did activities and stuff.

I'm totally addicted to the internet, and I also have no social life. I'm really shy, and it's hard for me to make friends. I spend most of my free time on my computer, and it doesn't help that I now have my very own desktop in my room. I've made a lot of good friends online, but I spend way too much time logged it. I can go without it, and I've done so before, but only when I was forced to, like when there's power outages, and I wasn't happy about it. I love the internet, and without it I'd just spend my time reading or watching TV. I prefer the internet over television, but I do log off or set myself away or busy on my instant messaging programs to get some reading in. But, it hasn't gotten to the point where I'll put the internet above my school work. Sometimes it takes me longer to do my school work because it requires the internet and I get distracted, but I get it done and I usually get good grades on my work. However, I am quite addicted.
