Why not just hang outside? Meet some new people. Go for some Starbucks. If you're single, try online dating. Especially asian dating sites. Some very friendly people there.

Staying home all the time can make you depressing. That's what I found out about myself. So at least once a week, I try to go out somewhere. Be it coffee or a restaurant. And I look for ways to chat to people. I hope this helps you. I've been in a similar situation.

Deus Ex (2000) - a game that pushes the boundaries of what the video game medium is capable of to a degree unmatched to this very day.

Usually I'll kick back and watch some youtube (a fan of documentaries in particular, they seem to have a chill, calming affect for me a lot of times), listen to some music I like, sit outside with a cigar (though I've been trying to cut back on that lately), drink (see previous lol), go for a walk or jog, workout, play a mindless/relaxing video game, read, listen to an audiobook

Play video games, debate with people (I know it's odd), read books and sex/masturbate.

For me, debating with people on here can make me depressed.

No he lived like he never lived before, mountain biking (MTB) is an amazing sport, it's hard to explain the joy you get out of it, you just have to do it

Hmm. I guess it's depends on why you debate and what your goal is with debating with people. I can understand that reaction to it though.

I debate people because I'm emotionally invested in the issues at hand.

That makes a lot of sense then with why you get depressed. Do you get any entertainment from it or sense of fullfilment from it? I debate because it's entertaining and mentally stimulating for me regardless if I care about the topic alot or if I'm just in a debate because I think that I'm right on something.
