langurmonkey: Why wouldn't someone be addicted the internet?
mondo84: Sometimes the world seems too beautiful to step outside.
Then I step outside and realize it's not so great out there either.
Exactly. When we go without something for a long time, it starts looking beautiful. It starts looking special. You think you are missing that special beautiful thing in your life and that is why you are not happy. But unless, you are extremely good looking with a nice body, nice clothes, lots of friends and lots of money, the outside world sucks compared to the internet, PC and console gaming, computers, movies, TV shows etc.
