Its clear to me I've been using this thing as a coping mechanism and crutch for failing in life / gives me a false sense of security.

has anyone ever chucked their computer out the window and not looked back for an extended period of time? Did your life change?

The problem isn't the computer. The problem is not having anything to do for 16 hours everyday.

im hoping ditching the computer forces me to confront that reality and fill it with actual shit that moves the needle

It probably would help. Personally I don't see myself ever giving up my computer, maybe I'm in too deep. I'd probably just rent an apartment and put zero technology in there and see if I survive.

So now you are left with the question of staying online, trying to go out hoping you will find non boring people out there, or figuring out how to bring your online friends into the IRL
