you need more socialization, and possibly a love interest, or a significant other or a casual girlfriend at the very least... and excersise too

Start here- you must turn off Playstation. Really. Discipline and will should be first. Maybe allow yourself an hour a day, same time every day, until you don't want it anymore. Because you will discover new things, and through these things, who you are, what you can create- that no one has EVER created before, what you can master, with much work, but the work will be wonderful, and you will feel a way you've never felt before. You, and only you will have begun something, worked hard, and realized your potentials for greatness. This working will bring you great joy-time will fly by happily, and you will come to see who you really are and how much there is inside you. You will be an artist. The words "I can't" should disappear from your vocabulary-well you need "I" but not attached to "can't." Some things will be very difficult; consider them challenging. WHen you work through a challenge you'll want to dance. Accomplishment is a great feeling.
Find something you love, you want to do or create more than anything else in the world.
Your mission. Is it writing? Something for the world to read, something that will change lives? Start by reading some great books and stories.
To start- reread if you've already read: The Catcher in the Rye, Fahrenheit 451, Tender is the Night, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, The Lottery, Ariel (poetry by Sylvia Plath,) Slaughterhouse Five, When will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops, Crime and Punishment, Gulag. You can get 'em all on Amazon, I'm sure. Then write- carry a journal- write every day-try out splended language, then simple-see what you got.
Visual Art? Will you pick up a pencil and draw the face of an angel, or the cutest dog any child's ever seen; maybe a swirl of rainbow colors that is music for the eyes? Or take pictures that astound? Look at Mark Tansey, Vermeer, Picasso, Frida Kahlo, Chagall, Van Gogh, Mark Rothko, Diane Arbus, Scavullo, Ansel Adams,Helmut Newton, Dorothea Lange.
Get a sketchbook&carry it everywhere. Sit in the mall at Starbucks and just draw everything you see. Also look at Drawing on the RightSide of the Brain-great book.
Speaking of music, pick up an instrument, or begin to sing, Listen to Mozart- Jupiter Symphony(#41) and Beethoven Moonlight Sonata), Bachanything- violin concertos are all wonderful, and Shostakovich-# 7 ahhhhh. PDQ Bach and Schumann,Ravel, Berlioz-
West Side Story, Every Beatle song ever written, Duke Ellington songs-Take the A train et al. there's too many pieces of music- listen to everything!
Listen to Def Leppard, Nirvava, Bangles, Cheap Trick, anything you hear when your turn on the radio- most things on MySapce, especially GRACER, Rorie Kelly (roriekelly.com), again-too much, listen to everything!
When you're done(and you won't be, but that's okay) learn to play. Go to Sam Ash, or whatever music store works, and get music, and play it- take lessons if you need to. Learn piano, or violin, or flute, or guitar, or bass (double bass for orchesta or Fender electric bass for rock) Get a Fender for rock- really, whatever instrument u want. Play every day, several hours a day. That way you'll get better faster, and you'll be less frustrated. You'll be happy. Trust me. I know.
Now, there are many many other arts, and other things that can be missions, can feel great to accomplish and you can do, from gardening-flowers, or wonderful organic vegetables to training to run a maraton, or bowling (an opportunity to meet other humans, too) tennis, doing the NY Times crossword puzzle every day until you are the best- See the movie WORD PLAY; cooking, design, you get the picture.
The top four-art&photography counting as 2, are all desperately important to me. You can probably find most of the books and much of the music I mentioned in a local library. Even with musical instruments, except a piano, you can start with a very inexpensive instrument- check out garage sales and pawn shops. Do not be swayed by salespeople or buddies who tell you how much better you'll sound with a better instrument. When you are starting, you will sound crappy on a crappy instrument, and crappy on a good instrument. The problem is you will want to immediately sound better on a good instrument but you won't, and instead of enjoying the switch from crappy to good instrument, which will sound nicer and seem easier to play, you'll regret the extra money you spent. Trust me.
Good luck- find something bigger than yourself in all this, look at the extraordinary legacies that ordinary people (some are...) have left as you search, and I think you might want to search these roads, and yourself. Sorry if I've gone on too long.

Yes.
i know things that i too should have done but didnt... and these are:
1. Try to know yourself. Your wants, likes, dislikes, feelings, ill-feelings towards anybody; has it subsided, gone. if there are unfinished business that needs your attention, you better attend to it. your ambitions or goals in life. are you satisfied with what you are doing right now? are you satisfied with your work? are you really sure that after playing PS2 for 15 hours that you dont want another game or another gizmo or another gadget that you want to acquire? ASK YOURSELF YOUR OWN QUESTIONS!
2. Try to know your FAMILY more. Meaning that you have to dig deeper than what you know now about your family background. Your close relatives from either your mother's or father's side, your grandparents, their family history and also the stories that come with it. your family's diseases, healths, etc., etc.
3. Try to know your neighborhood. The people who lived there, the families who are living either side of your house or those distant people you hardly meet everyday. those people who just nod or said their hi's and hello's whenever you meet. By knowing them it doesn't mean that you have to intrude their privacy and ask them so many questions. just those common things that most people know about them.
AND after knowing all these things, you might as well try to know your surroundings, the location where you are, try nature-tripping, jog in the early hours in the morning, try a hobby things you like working with your hands, your body, your mind. But before anything else, Discern first and ask for Guidance to a Qualified Individual.

According to your timing, you work about 4 hours per day. I would say you are missing a good paycheck.

You are missing everything. Life does not exist in your bedroom, or on-line or in the fantasy world of playstation. Life is about Jesus Christ, not the world. The world will perish someday, but your soul is forever---forever in heaen or forever in hell; its your choice. Jesus loves you and he died for you. Do not waste your life on junk.

Dude, this may "sound" a little too cheesy...
But try writing 50 dreams (not fantasies)...
Then try to devote some of your time to taking a little step towards achieving them 1 by 1.
Good luck! =)

Yes, a life. You are on auto-pilot! Get some friends, and go out. Have some fun, and don't waist your life.

Not much, just books, movies, music, friends, lovers, the beauty of nature, art, even TV, etc. I would say you have an addiction. Seek help.
