I'm taking a year out

[Jerry Maguire]

I'm taking a year out to work and getting rid of the internet in an attempt to regain a social life (I have basically no friends now). I've been feeling depressed so I'm going to use this time to find myself, find what I want from life and learn to respect myself.
I've been thinking about improving my physique, getting some NLP, learning how to dance and maybe speak a bit more clearly.
I'm going to try and experiment with some girls (find out what I want from them) and try and make some new friends.

Whether it's to wish me well or give me a tip or two/some insight, please respond to this thread.

well good luck man, its a ballsy thing to do when you are an internet addict, i would go one step further and stick your computer in your closet as well unless its required to do your job.

Good luck and i hope you attain your goals! My tip is, don't log on sosuave from work, even if work is boring.

Wouldn't having internet while having a social life be a greater and better challenge?

I completely support you setting out to improve yourself as this is what will get you where you want to be and it's a damn enjoyable and fulfilling process too. Nothing beats the feeling after a productive day of working out, reading and learning something new.

I also think you are focusing on some really useful areas too where you can use women as a form of motivation.

Go for it and good luck!!!

One thing at a time, you need to get rid of the internet first, then learn to work it back into your daily routine. I got rid of my mobile phone for a complete week (just to see what it's like) and it felt really good, now I learn not to rely on it so much, and the fact that you don't need to carry it with you all the time.

Nice

Good for you, bro. You will be a completely different person after this time off.

Best of luck finding your "calling," your work in life that gives the best of you to the world.
Best of luck finding friends who support you.
Best of luck dating around, and eventually finding a girl who brings out your inner joy.

Most importantly, good luck finding yourself.
