  Personally I think you are just presenting your ideal of what "having a
life" is, and when someone does not have it. And it's precisely what I was
talking about: Why is your definition of "having a life" more correct rather
than someone else's? Isn't someone "having a life" when he is happy with
what he is doing?

  Just because someone doesn't act like the majority of people doesn't mean
he doesn't "have a life". Just because someone isn't so social as most of
other people, and just because he doesn't have "healthy" hobbies besides
work doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't "have a life".

  Personally I don't enjoy "socializing" by going to night clubs and bars
and the like. They are noisy, crowded, chaotic and often full of tobacco
smoke. I don't drink nor smoke, I don't enjoy talking with drunken people,
and there's nothing in night clubs and bars that I would enjoy. Yet someone
could say that I "don't have a life" because of that.
