Question Things that I could do

Hey,

I'm getting really bored of sitting in everyday. Only so much internet browsing and computer gaming you can do. I also feel my self going mad at times, it's like being in jail.

Has anyone got any idea's of things I could go out and do? My mind is just blank atm, I have no one to do anything with. Please sugest something ;(

I don't know, distance running might help? I'm going to try that sometime this week myself. :)

only thing that distracts me is exercise take me away, it`s hard to get into at first though, and if you stay of for a bit. Ya gotta find something ya like though, swimming suits me, although i`d like to do something more interesting like kayaking or something, but it`s organising it, which is hard when you wanna do nothing. My life seems so boring at times yet i can`t motivate myself to do things i would enjoy.

You could go out for a walk, or randomly browse around a store. Go to a nice park and see nature, or if you have a dog take him/her for a walk.
If you don't feel like going out you could watch a movie, or read.

I'm pretty much the same way though, I sit at my computer ALL day, browsing, doing my online classes, going to tvtropes youtube and watching random pirated movies. I need to get out more lol XD Having pets helps alot too, just being around alot of living creatures makes it less lonely. I've got three noisy..even being loud right now, Budgies and a talking parrot. Even though the noise can be a bit annoying, it fills the air with life and makes it less lonely.
LOL but if you're not a crazy animal person like me then usually going out randomly helps, or getting a random job.

You never know, maybe as you walk around being a loner other people will notice you and before you know it you're a loner no more !

How about taking a class at the local college or whatever, would get you out the house and work your brain too

Take a sketchbook or camera or something to read. It's funny how an accessory can make you look unlonerish, plus if you do like drawing you know how people approach out of curiousity too-nice way to meet people. (That's actually how I meet one of my current friends, she came up when she saw a doodle I was doing. Turned out to be one of the most patient and accepting people I've ever meet. )

Hey TakemeAway
thats the problem, why do u say "like a loner"
i think u think too much of what impression u make and cant enjoy thing on urself even if makes u feel even worse! thats the thing- u put other things on a pedestal and how u feel comse second.
i love to go for long walks alone, i dont care what ppl think
i understand thats its difficult to start doin things like that but its worth it
so many of my friends are depressed and yet nothing is worse for them than to go somewhere alone. i think they put how they feel on a second place and cant expect to feel good becoz if they themselves dont think its important enough than why the hell should it come (feeling good)
i often go on trips alone and walks and cinema and it makes me feel good and i like to do things but often im too tired to organise other ppl, and actually want to be myself
when i discovered peace and serenity that i have when i am by myself i started to appreciate it a lot and i always think twice before i choose to go with someone.....
its hard sometimes, sometimes i wanna be normal and be like everyone who goes with friends and family but i try to look beneath these standards and to GIVE MYSELF what i really need. It takes guts but its worth it....

i believe that WE CAN GIVE OURSELVES WHAT WE NEED ANYTIME. If we allow excuses rule over us then we can not expect to feel good coz these excuses matter to us much more...
