Yes, I'm at my computer most of the time, the rest of the time I sleep or go off to eat at a restaurant or read magazines at the library.
All the interesting things are/can be done at the computer. It's a shame since it must be very bad for my health, but I can't do otherwise, I'd just sleep all the time because I would be so bored.

I wish I could go back to my other hobbies but the computer and I have been tight for seven years now.

I have an addictive personality. Probably because of the aspergers.

I have been addicted to:
biting my nails
reptiles
aquariums
computers
drugs
repetitive tasks

I'm a major PC addict. I spend like 12 hours a day infront of the computer. It's pretty sad. The time I used to spend infront of the TV is now spent infront of the computer because I have cut off my cable TV service. I just stream everything now.

I wish I had other things to do with my time but infront of the computer is where I feel most SAFE for some reason because it is so familiar and I am so comfortable in that environment so I stick with it.

I am training for a job in the field so I can feel safe at work.

Yes, I spend way too much time on the computer, and not enough time doing chores, or even sleeping.

I spend almost all of my spare time on Wrong Planet. On Saturdays, I try to delay my logging on for a little bit, and do some puzzles in the paper. But once I log on, it's hard to get off.

I do. I found Facebook to be my worst problem. I was trying to use it to reach out to people socially, or network whatever, and almost daily I would run across posts, etc., that kept me coming back for more. I deactivated my FB some days ago now, maybe a week? Can't remember, because I honestly don't miss it that much.

I am doing a lot more, although to an extent have replaced Facebook with WP, it's not as easy for me to get sucked in here unless I actively choose it. I think places like Facebook are now built specifically to keep us there as long as possible. I don't have the same sort of compulsion here that I did there, and am not left 'searching around to see what my friends are up to' because they don't show up in news feed, or worrying about how many 'likes' I have and whether or not I am 'liking' too much or too little, etc.
