Ok, so my ex girlfriend broke up with me because she said she wanted me to be single in collage. Then later she said that it was because that I didn't have what she wanted. Which later turned out that she said that i didn't have a life.

Now, I'm a person who has a neutral view on almost everything and I don't act or speak on a subject until I know all of the details. I also think deeply about the meaning of things and if we should be able ,as humans, to determine what it is things actually mean.

I also have a problem. I know what it is that I want to say to her when she says I have no life, but I can't seem to put it to words. Her view of life is having a girlfriend, a car, a job, and going out for sports. I view this as her opinion on what a life actually is/means.

I had all of those things, until she broke up with me. But that's a different story.

I just want to know what to say when she says that I have no life, without sounding like a snob, for this would go against my neutral side.

Your help is greatly appreciated!

Thank You for you time.

You do have a life. Just becuz u do not exploite ur life doesnt mean its lessened. You are what you are, nothing more, nothing less.

We are sentient beings, beings which search for a "why" when there is quite possibly only an explanation for a "how". We decide what life is because as a society we like a philosophical reasoning for almost all things.

The question of the thread and its contents throw me off..so basically you're feeling sorry for yourself because your girl dumped your ass because you got *****g and have no life... well that's her call because as separate individuals we have variants on the definition of what "life" is in a social sense.

Its human nature why your definition most like differs from a lot of people's definition of life.

Maybe saying you don't have the life she/other people want, then I bet she gonna say something very hard (like "yeah, because your a jerk !" or that kind).
The simple way is : don't speak wiyh her anymore, sorry for you, but this girl don't sound interesting for me
