Answer 13

I hear you i had a life that consisted mostly of video games and internet. Unfortunately not only did this take a toll on my social life but also my relationship. What i found helped me was working more hours. I would work longer days and by the time i got home i was either so happy to have finally made it through the day that i just wanted to see my g/f and relax or i was too tired to look at a computer monitor. The other plus was it also helped me for paying bills and saving up some cash. I know work doesnt sound like the most entertaining thing but you'll find your social life rebuilds with your co-workers. Who knows maybe you'll start to hang out with them. Theres always time to make new friends and rebuild your relationships with your old ones.

Good luck
