My life consists of, laptop, xbox, television, school I dont go out unless it is to a football match or to see my dad. People criticise me and say I have no life, but it is my decision what I do but when you look at their life and it seems great. I think my life is fine and I dont enjoy sport because Im not good at it. Im good on xbox and computers and gadgets so I am perceived as having no life.. Is this right?

Hi, i can understand how you feel when other people criticise on your personal life style. Actually you should have the right to choose how you want to live your life, it is all your choice. What you want in your life and how you enjoy it, it is all up to you too. As long as you do not do anything wrong, affecting others or something really abnormal, that's really fine and you may just continue to go on with your life. People critise on your lifestyle, perhaps we can say that they're just concern about you, and want you to be more out going (You may try to think from this perspective), that's a good intention afterall. However, you can just try to carry out their suggestions such as to have some sports, and be more socialised. If you still find it not suitable for you or you're not comfortable doing all these, then just back to your style then.

you have a right to do whatever you want to do with your life. I stay at home most of the time and get on the computer. I do get out to hunt for a job when I need to about twice a week, and every once in a while I might meet someone at a bar if I go but its like every 3 or 4 months. Its your life. Some people may say that you have no life but it may just be because they are jealous of yours. I don't have a lot to do with my dad's side of the family and its cut out a lot of drama on both ends some of my family says that because I don't talk to them i don't have a life anymore. Well tough noodles. I don't talk to them and I've actually been able to live my life the way I wanna live it.

Life is measured by how much you enjoy it. Don't concern yourself if others tell you otherwise. If playing with Xbox and computers make you happy, then do what you do. If they don't, find what does make you happy.

I guess the big question here is are you happy? If you are happy, then what is their problem? I myself am a content hermit. I see and talk to my family. I talk with friends on the phone, but I don't feel this undying need to be in every social event out there. Honestly, I don't care who did what to whom or who is mad at this person now. I'm content with my home, my own electronics and family. There isn't anything wrong with that. Not a thing. If you are happy and content with your own life, then really, who's business is it what you do or don't do. Right?

Hi Applepod, I think you are enjoying life more than many people, at least you know what you want, and so many people do not know what they want. Some people prefer quiet enjoyment of life, and there is nothing wrong with that. If anyone dares to say you have no life again, just tell me, "can't you see I am alive? What do you mean "no life"? How can I have "no life" and yet alive at the moment?", ask them to go for brain scan! I like quiet enjoyment of life too. Even when I go out for a hike, I am perfectly all right for solo hike or with a group of friends. Those are the ones mature enough not to make stupid comments about ways other people live.

Hello,I think you shouldn't have bothered asking if it's right.I mean it's your choice and you're happy doing those things right?So,if some random people didn't understand your choice on how to live your life then it's their problem anyway and not yours.It is only but natural that you do things that you are good at and that we are free to experiment and find those things so that we can fully understand ourselves too.Each of us is born different from each other and that our interest in things and life differ and that is just normal.So just cheer up there's nothing strange about you.=)

a lot of my mates are like but if that is what you enjoy then why change for other people. You could maybe invite people over to play games with you if they are feeling like you have no life. Show them what you like doing and maybe they might start to like it to. Don't change who you are for other people , just live your life how you want.

Hey you remind me of me I used to think my way of living life was wrong. I was a loong time thinking in what should I do to change it. That meant meet more people, go out more, hang out with people more frequently. But I finally came to realize that I didn't enjoy doing that and decided to do what I really wanted and not to care about what other people could think about it. And I really enjoy my way of living relaxed.

Hi applepod In my opinion, do everything that you enjoy. But there are two kinds of critical. First it the critical that can make you become a better person, and the other is criticism from those who envy and want to destroy yourself. There are many people that are not good in the field of sports,but when they enjoy watching sports rivalry.You are still young,try to do some new things.You'll be surprised how many new things out there that might you like. If you have tried and you do not enjoy, it's oke.

Life is more based on our own decision and technically speaking others have no rights to "criticize" on our lives. All they can do is to give suggestions. Whether to take in their suggestions is of course up to us. If you really find playing computer games all day is good for you, then just stay the way you are . But it is important that you don't regret not having taken in other's suggestions seriously when you have the chance.

Erm, everybody has different kind of lifestyle. Yours so happen to be more indoors than outdoors. You find it 'lively' to be in front of your xbox, laptop and tv and live your life that way. So who are others to comment that your have no life? They should rephrase it to, "You have no social life". Just kidding. Many people are like you. My cousin brothers are like you. I dont label them as 'no life'. THOSE ARE their life! So take stride in what you are doing because you are good in those. Who knows, one day something good will come your way through those channels. Good luck!

one of the best way to live life is enjoying life in every moment,on my opinion i would like to say that life is too short enjoy every moment of life,but when u suffering from your bad days so many people trying to disturb you,but in your life try to let go the whole things that hearts you,so you can leave like a freely mind,so do not inspire from the people whose wants to disturb you but try to get some truly friends who always stand with you in case of difficulties . when somebody criticise you while you do not want them so please try to avoid them.when somebody trying to interpted in your life then teach them some hard lessons so they do not come ever in your life.

No. you are live now, so you are having life,, but you must think about people and friends around you too. It's good to do thing that you're good at. but there's no wrong to go out for something else beside football match or see your dad. maybe take a look for new shops or new people, take some photos and share it,,aware of the situation around you, make new friends or try to do something that you never try before,, maybe it will be better if you can give same portion to your computers life and your 'true' life (I mean life when you and others people can see each other). We, human, is a social ceature after all.. But it just my opinion and suggestion. Do whatever you like as lon as you enjoy it and not distrub other people.. but try to enjoy something new^^,, Sorry if there's some words that you don't like..
