When you put being online in front of other relevant things like real social contact with your friends and family, reading, having a gf (or whatever you want to call it) and so on. Things that are an important part in your mental development. Not saying you're dumb, but it may cause you some social troubles.

This just about the illness, I can't say if you suffer it or not, but it could be that, if you try to spend as many hours as possible online, you could be a patient. That's all about it.
Thats a fair point. I have this dumbass rule, the one thing i put to the back of the list when being busy is sleep. I have been known to do 48hrs working/partying/socializing (:refuck:) without actually sleeping. Not good I know, but I think its sometimes a total waste.

Well, but you don't work/party/socialize every day. Some sit at the computes 20 hours every day, that's to worry about :-/

Spending 20hrs a day partying/working/socializing or 20hrs a day sitting at a computer. The 2 are so opposite they're nearly as bad as each other... :S

Obsessed with being online , It reminds me of Sketch back in the day! Like when he first moved to Canada and he like didnt know anybody and stuff he spent 24/7 online , I would go to sleep at 10 and wake up at 6 in the morning for shcool and sketch is still on , He hadnt even gone to sleep yet :lol:

I was the same for a while though too...We have lifes now , We both have to wake up at like 5 in the morning and get home at like 5 (PM) and are to tired to do anything.
