You have no life!

[Scarim Coral]

I can't help to feel that this image is relevent to this thread-

Ok granted the above images is anime related but replace that with games and you would get the same result.

As for the topic I just don't give a danm what other people say about having no life. As long I'm happy the way I leading why should other people opinion should matter (well within reasons).

 

[Waaghpowa]

I take the comment 'you have no life' as a compliment because the kind of person who tells me I have no life wrongly defines the concept of having a life, and is making a desperate jab at me with an uncreative insult.

Basically this. When someone says "You have no life" I tell them "I do what I enjoy, therefore I am living my life". Just because it's not your ideal life, doesn't mean it's not one.

Nah,it's you who doesn't have a life,why else would you be lying on the ground with a bullet through your hea-OH! you meant a social life,yeah sadly I can't get one of those due to the terrible or wonderful Having-No-Neighbors-Syndrome.

I figure this community has more of a meaningful social life then any douchebag drunk slutty barhoppers that live day to day with no goals/ambitions/talents just to get as plastered as possible every night just so they can muster up a boner to bang whatever bag of filth they've picked up.

sorry, I know it's a rant but seriously...caring about getting hammered is more pathetic than caring about getting all the flags in Assassins Creed.

But on the other hand, I will say hiking and mountain climbing are much more satisfying than beating a level. So, take a break to go on a hike...at the very least you'll feel like you deserve to play a game for the next 4 hours straight.

Time spent having fun, isn't wasted time

I have a job in which playing games equates to working. That turns a phrase rather sharply.

 

[Hippobatman]

Eh, I've been told that I have "no life" only twice.

Once by my own mother, and once by an attractive young woman.

I was hosting a gaming tournament at some event with a couple of friends, and at the party afterwards a couple of girls approached me as I was conversing with my mates. She asked if I was that "Nintendo guy", which I told her I was. Her reply was, directly translated; "Don't you have a life?"

I simply ignored her and introduced myself to her friend instead. The first one didn't like that, saying, and I quote; "I didn't mean it like that, I just think that you're handsome!"

What an icebreaker, right?

 

[LarenzoAOG]

I don't think anyone has said that to me, but I'd just do the Freud approach and say their projecting and walk away whilst their confused.

"Suck it!" is also appropriate in this situation.

Snip

It doesn't work; I've tried it a few times and it pisses my mom off that she ends up talking about what I should be doing with my life for around ten minutes.

Example: I'm 25 and I graduated from college last December. I haven't been able to find a job because I'm either over experienced for the small easy jobs or other times I am fully qualified but the stupid employers are only looking for people that have had 3 to 5 years or more of experience working at the type of job they are hiring for, no exceptions.

So I have been in this rut where there is no work because all the employers within 25 miles of where I live have the hiring sense of an 8 year old. I can't move to look for work because my mom is sick a majority of the year(I still believe she fakes half of it).

Now, since I don't have a job, anytime she wants to go out and do something, I either have to go along with her, drive her, or go out by myself to get the stuff I know she can get herself.

A couple months ago, she wanted to get tickets to some show that was going to be at the theater in a couple weeks from then, and she told me that I had to come along with her, though I didn't have to get out of the car when she went in to get the tickets. So, when she went in, I got out my DS, since she was going to be awhile and there of course was nothing else I could do. I was still playing my game when she got back to the car, and after she got in and started the car, she looked over at me and my DS and then told me that I needed to get a life. You might think telling her that obviously there is nothing else for me to do while sitting in the car would be a reasonable argument, but no that doesn't count.

Then she went on and on about how I'm not taking enough time out of my day to look for a job. Jokes on her, that I was actually going to do some online searching when she dragged me off on her little fetch outing. Though she doesn't think looking online counts as looking for a job, even though 90% of the jobs in the area that I have went outside to look for, all told me to go online to fill out the application. So I go out every once in a while, but in this day and age, physically going out an looking produces nothing.

But yeah, saying the other person doesn't have a life when they tell you you don't, doesn't work.

 

[Hamhandderhard]

I've never been told I don't have a life.

Huh.

But if someone told me I had no life, then I'd say "You think I'm not aware of it?" You can't let people who say such things hurt your feelings cause that's what they want to do. Instead just don't take anything seriously and take it easy. I guess.
