Whenever I feel bored or lonely, I end up playing different games on the internet. I cant say I am good at them and usually end up losing, but it is a very good passtime. I can sit for quite some time, first trying to figure out how the game is played and then trying my hand at it. Actually ive seen the kids adapt to games so fast, possible because their IQ is better than ours to grasp the game and their reflexes are faster. Do you prefer to surf or play games.

hi kethy! 
i don't play games in the internet when i'm lonely. i play games in the internet when i feel bored. i play games when my mind is not productive and i don't feel like reading or watching tv. i play games too when i am being lazy. ^__^;; its easier to play games because you don't have to think too hard. although, i like puzzle games and word games which require a lot of thinking. but you don't think too much because it doesn't matter if you win or lose as long as you are having fun and you are not pressured.
when i'm lonely, i surf the net and find sites where i can pour out my feelings. like here in myLot or in my blog. sometimes i watch a lot of comedy shows and movies to forget the loneliness.

Games on the net are quite addicting and one is always playing them when lonely or bored. Some games are really mind boggling and you have to really use your brains, but otherwise as you say, one does not have to think too hard. Writing on mylot or a blog is another great way to while away time. Thanks.

The only game that i recently used to play on the internet was online sudoku. But then,once i got hooked on to mylot, no time or inclination for online games.

Hi ketybhagat, after doing the same thing for quite something I always like to play games for a little while to get myself refreshed, but very often I couldn’t refrain myself from indulging it. I always tell myself this is the last game and I no longer play it anymore but always in vain at the end. I consider playing games to be rather time consuming and I always try to restrict myself not to play the game often. So that I could have much more time to spend on other activities like mylotting, surfing net and reading.
posting and take care.

Ikbooi, I too feel these games are addicting, though mind refreshing and relaxing. I can totally relate with you on the last game stuff. But yes, there are better ways to while away time like mylotting or earning on the net, besides surfing and reading. thanks and cheers.

I work seven days a week and my husband does also. I work online and he works outside of the home. When I am lonely, when he is gone, I always work. We both work nights. We have to have the money to make it in life so I don't have time to play games online while working. I have to stay focussed on working to get the money that we need to have.
