Priorities!!

[elpropiotorvic]

Lately ive been here a lot, i enjoy it, its a great board full of great members, lots of different personalities, but in the end, were all human beings, but lately ive been here for so long that its actually affecting my life (i sound like a retard but its true), i havent been that consistent in my studies, and in my job im kinda doggin it for the most part (specially after I learned that the firewall doesnt block this place) so I have taken the decision to take it easy,

And i know most of u dont even care cause lots of members here come and go, but the purpose of this thread is not to say, Im going to not be on as much as i use to, but to see how maybe some of your lives have been affected, not necessarily in a positive way by this board( im sure all of us have gotten something positive out of this but u guys know what im talking about)

Me Im just a young guy trying to get ahead in this new country that im in, I have done so far well, but i could have done better, and i will do better, I know it sounds very obvious but I rather do something for my life(like studying at my max) than to connect with the brothers in here or learn about juice, maybe its nobody elses position, but it happened to me, im just wondering, did it happened to you?

I hope you guys can share


best

I use to be here much more than I am now. I currently only get on when I am eating. So about 7 times a day for 3-5 min a sitting.

Exceptions are when I am home alone or after I put my kids to bed (right now).

I try to come here with a purpose, to learn something new everyday. Viewing the different discussions and everyone's opinions and why they support their opinions is what drives me to return.

There is information shared here everyday that is hard to find elsewhere, even in the online communities. I think that is what makes AR a unique family/guild of people, whether they are new or been around a while.

Hope you find yourself able to study more Elprop, come back and say hi. Real life is important.

I can relate completely. not that way anymore but for a while i was always on this damn board. started to affect my social life and i was so wrapped up in the boards i didnt even realize it..now i mostly just log on when im at work

I spend way to much time here as well, but I dont care. You guys are all the friends I need, or have for that matter. In real life I am a 36 year old fat ass computer dork that lives with my mom and eats pizza all day while playing xbox live....LOL

Ok all that other stuff is a lie, but it would be awesome to do that I think.

U dont need to drop the board, u need to time manage, i sit on here throughout the day at work, and talk sh*t, it keeps me sane.

1. Lately ive been here a lot, i enjoy it, its a great board full of great members, lots of different personalities, but in the end, were all human beings, but lately ive been here for so long that its actually affecting my life (i sound like a retard but its true)...

You do not sound like a retarded to me but you probably experienced a bit of internet addiction disorder (IAD).
The fact you recognized it by yourself is very important because you already put a brick to solve the problem, if a problem has developed.

I advise you to read more on that topic to figure out all the aspects and to take full control of your priorities.

If you need to talk about it, I am available.
Ciao

PS
Be very careful not to underestimate that addiction because it can literally ruin your life, the real one I mean.

I like being here, and even though I'm still very social, I'm just dogging it at work and not studying like I should which sucks

You guys are my only friends...

[lovbyts]

You guys are my only friends...

I have to say I also spend a LOT of time on this site but most of it is while Im at work so it's OK LOL
I try to keep it down to one hr or less on my non work days and after work.

I only have one friend who is also into working out full time but I really cant talk to him about anything either. He thinks he knows everything already. He thinks Testosterone has nothing to do with muscle growth and HGH will make you HUGE but he is against all of it 100%, even for HRT. He says the HRT is all BS and the docs are making up all the test levels. LOL

It's nice having people who are on the same level, who want to learn and share information. Thanks guys.
