Leaving the Internet

[Kriven]

For complicated reasons I'll be taking a temporary-to-permanent leave from the internet. I don't know if I'll return or not, but the answer is: I'm going to try not to. It seems to me that I've become actively addicted to the internet to the point where I just don't do anything anymore, and I really just can't do that.

So I guess you can all start throwing confetti now.

Good luck, the internet is a pretty addictive thing

I wish you well in your real life adventures, keep on keepin' on

I'll give it a week.

Good luck.

Nice to know you figured it out by yourself ("It seems to me"), rather than someone nagging you the whole time. Good luck with real life and all that.

It's all good, Kriven. You have to do what you have to do.
Take care of your life, I'll miss you!

Good luck. There's nothing wrong with just limiting yourself.

Yup I'm sure once everything is straightened out, he'll return.

dude this is me

i'm just not addicted, i just have literally no social life IRL because there's no one in my neighborhood to socialize with. if i did hell i'd just be playing videogames at their house.
i actively try to hang out with people; the only downside is that most of my friends are girls who frequently misconstrue it as me asking them out on a date

simple guide to breaking your "addiction":

-make a schedule of the things you're gonna do that day
-do them
-in free time, use the internet
-moderate your time with an egg timer


yeah .

my parents (oh wow) insist that i'm addicted but once they realize that's the field i'm going into and then i fix their computers in mere minutes for free
they shut up and just kind of accept it

and quite honestly: my online friends always want to play videogames and then i get sucked into like 5 games of league of legends, and there goes my entire night
