Terrible. Thanks for asking.
Actually it's gotten better in the last few years, after I left middle school (i'm a junior now). I still don't talk to people very often (especially girls) and spend more time playing RPG's and talking to my like 3 or 4 friends over Xbox live... maybe a couple in class but now atleast not as many people hate me. And I actually talk to girls now, which is certainly an improvement.

I have more friends than ever now (which are awesome), but I'm still a bit sad from my girlfriend breaking up with me so meh. But I recently had a LAN party with 10 people for my birthday so now I'm all hapsy.
My social life is the best its been. While my age is small it doesnt matter. I have a girlfriend, and we like eachother alot. I have a best friend whom i have spent 9-10 weekends in a row with and counting, and we hang out all the time when its not weekends.
I've got plenty of friends, some people that im just friendly with, and only a small amount of enemies.
And after all this im one of the smartest kids in my whole grade, and i dont look like a nerd. I've got alot of muscle, broad shoulders, great at soccer and football (american football if it wasnt clear enough).
My life is pretty sweet. However i do feel this sence of utter lonelyness at random occasions. Probably because i spend alot of my time by my self. like if a friend isnt over or im not at school, im alone.

With the exception of the weekly D&D campaign I've been playing in for 1.5-ish years now my "social" life is rather "unsocial".
Wake up, transport to work, work, transport home, sleep; lather, rinse, repeat.
Thank the gods I get to pretend-kill monsters on a regular basis or I'd be bored to death all the time.
That said, I do have a wife and 2 kids but that's not a social-gathering, that's family.

Wow, I'm surprised at how many people fit the gamer stereotype. Oh well, it's a cliche for a reason, I s'pose.
Anyway, I'm reasonably happy with my social life. I have quite a few friends at school and I go out on the weekends if I'm not busy with other things.

what is thissocial life you speak of?
oh, that's not because i'm a gamer, it's because i'm a carbon copy of Doctor House. Go figure.

I could count how many really good friends I have, but I feel that would seem a little pathetic. So I estimate it is somewhere around 10. Heaps and heaps of acquaintances though. More than I know what to do with
Damn, theres some depressing answers here
OT: It's actually pretty active, I'm friends or at least well liked by about three quarters of my school, and for the most part the rest are indifferent. Sports helps a ton, never a shortage of friends when you're on a team.

I have quite a few friends. A lot of of the boys in my class, actually. As for girls... no. I hate parties, and would not go to them even if I were invited.
It does depend on what you count 'social life' to be. some people (and no offense here btw) seem to think it is time spent with either people you dont know personally, or those you do know but are online. This is PERFECT for some. For others it is getting pissed at a nightclub, and then the possibility of either 'getting laid' (Male) or getting raped (female). again, no offense, this is what i have picked up on from OTHER PEOPLE. For me, its inbetween. I like mixing with people whom i dont know [literally], therefore i can act how i want according to the suituation. But then again, i do like the odd 'piss up'. These are best saved for your local, and actual, 'true' friends. This is when no one judges you for the way you act, because they already know what you are like, and accept you for what you are like, sometimes even praising what you are doing.... heh, sawing that shed in half was a ball!!!

Ahem, in short, and so not to sound like the pompus ass (as i did in the first paragraph) its about having an even mix, or personal prefference (eg, you prefer staying slightly anoyonmus, go for it).

Is it that bad for so many people here? I considered myself unpopular in high school but still had at least 15-20 friends I would hang out with. In college I kicked ass and took names, was well known on my small (2,000 people) campus for my leadership positions and on campus jobs, and never felt lonely. I've graduated last year though and moved to a new city, so making friends is a hard to do, but I've at least found the nearest anime club and go out to the bar with co-workers.
Just join a club if you're having trouble making friends kids, the geek community is stronger then ever these days.

I watch movies every weekend with friends and will go out for the occasional drink. I have more friends in my hometown than I do at college so I have a bit more of a bustling social life when I'm home then when I'm here (it also helps to have the free time to be able to go out every night while home on break). While I'm not the partying college stereotype, I do pretty okay for myself.
This thread makes me sad...
OT: Pretty good, I have a lot of good friends and can make friends easily.

Another thing... I dont wanna make anyone sad... .... but it is all about the close friends. keep them close, and fuck the rest unless they can prove themselves... you will truely know your friends then.

I rarely talk to my friends at least once in a month and the only contact with humans I really have is with my parents...my social life is great

Anti-social, friendless, internet addicted behaviour isn't stemmed from gaming - I know a lot of MMO addicts who fit that criteria... but I also know a lot of non-gamers who fit it as well.
I spend a good deal of time with my games (probably too much time) but I still go out on the weekends, to non-gaming related events, usually with the same group of friends and their random tag-alongs, occasionally with a date. I think it makes for a healthy social life, even if I'm not necessarily a "social person" by choice. I'd probably fit that description pretty well if they'd let me.
