I spend way too much time on the internet. I want to get out

I spend way too much time on the internet. I want to get out more and expand my social circle, and try new things, but I inevitably give up doing it. I tried going to the gym to start exercising, I tried getting together with other people to try new things, I try to take up a new hobby but almost all of the time I say "fuck it" and stay at home and browse the internet for hours at a time. I know it's not healthy, but I keep going back to the same habits.

My problems pale in comparison to what everyone else is going through on here, but I don't want to be addicted to the computer anymore. How do I wean myself off of the internet and how do I commit to a thing?

You have the right impulse and the right ideas about how to go about things. What you lack is discipline and stick-to-it-ness.

So force yourself. When you have schoolwork to study and don't want to, you just make yourself do it. The same is true of changing your lifestyle. When you try something new and it isn't immediately fun, keep doing it anyway just because you've decided you're going to.

Dude, im 27 yrs old. I felt at my absolute worst from my 15th till 19th. I coudnt stand working so went to uni. First 3 yrs Journalism, then 1yr economics, then 2 yrs maths, and now I study law (I didnt finish anything}. Mental wise and just being able to think for myself and be very strong verbally, it rly patched me up again. I did have some hobby's from a young age on: guitar, poker and quake duels and also got good at em.

Now I'm 27 and I dont feel as bad as in my teens by a long but it isnt going well and moderate drug addicted and I dont believe and too angry that I will ever keep interested in a degree to finish it.

I spended a lot of time wasting on the pc as well and was always around the same kind of negative/life giving uppper/retards on the web and played an act in rl to fit in and not be a loner.

Ive unistalled steam atleast 250 times saying: no more but ofc you can install it again within 5 mins. What I did a month ago was deleting all my steamfriends and giving the acc info away http://steamcommunity.com/id/fps_daniel?l=dutch I also broke all contact with people from the past that were not in any way beneficial and went to the doc, whos rly nice, to have a talk and later with a few psychologists who all were idiots with useless advice.

The first 2 weeks after deleting steam and stop browsing certain sites (incl this one, im here now thats true, but rly very rarely, you have to take my word} I looked at every IRC channel, discord, forums, communities to be part of and looking for new hobby's but with no avail. And I rly cant return to steam and banned on most places I used to waste time, so I rly made sure there was no turning back this time.

After those 2 weeks of losing my mind I grabbed the tinder app as absolute last thing I could think to meet someone new and do new things when I was fucked out of my mind on drugs. I made a profile where I just rly told the truth about who I am and what I want but in synical lightly entertaining way.

I didnt think I would get many matches with that attitude and my average looks but suprisingly I got like 20 matches in 2 weeks and have met 5 of em, even had chanches to get laid, but my dick is broken cause of the dex-amfatamine but Im working on that and ive told my last date who I rly like and vice versa about this so ... I hope in 2 weeks and maybe with a viagra the first few times (its been 4 yrs since I last had sex} I can get my one eyed snake up again. So yea thats how i met new people and even a hopefully soon to be gf and also talked with a lot of other new people I normally never would have {though most dudes suck dick so no friends but fck em and not gonna play an act like I used to}. Im still in uni for now, ill see how it ends, and I made up a new project Im working on which I think will do me good.
So yea thats how I made the change happen, if you rly want it, do the same as I did with ur steam and sites or w/e and by this force yourself to do other and new things. Its only been a month and Im still not good ofc but Im proud I did it and that ive been out with actual nice girls and talked with other people/dudes than my retarded internet friends. I also picked up my guitar again, heres a song i played, let it cheer ya up and do it, you have nothing to lose in this hellhole and you know it, GO! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcXlVFArMHE

You just have to let yourself think this but continue what you're doing. If you follow through with something you'll be much happier. Take small steps, rather than eat healthy, sleep better, and spend less time on the internet, just work on spending less time on the internet.

When you get through one of these goals, then focus on the other goal while maintaining the first. If you fail that's ok, but it's important that you return to the habit you wanna make the next day with that sense of disappointment pushing you along.
