How can I live life more fully?

I have a life long history of reading books, playing with computers and video games, and basically staying inside, being anti-social basically all my 50 years of life.

I am alone, unemployed, but want to rebuild my life, I want to have experiences that make my life fuller.

I live in Minnesota, and hope to find way's to live life, meet more people, and make my life more worth while.

Thank you to everyone who answers.

Update:

In this economy, at age 50, it is nearly impossible to find a job, which is why I am trying to go back to college.

    Perhaps you could take up some voluntary work to begin with one or two days a week to start with and see how you get on. It you find it interesting enough then maybe a job may come out of it part-time. You could also join a men's group in your local area, take up a hobby eg- a musical instrument, art, bowling, tennis etc Since you like reading could you help a group of foreigners learn english or even read to little children at the local library. You might even consider getting a pet like a dog which will mean getting out each day for a walk. Start with small steps and when your comfortable do more. Perhaps you could also spend your time getting to know God. Attend your local Church. In your own time and when your ready. Take it day by day. Maybe you could keep a diary or make a list of things you would like to try and stick it up on your wall as an incentive.

    If you find a job, then it can open doors to making friends

    and new opportunities.

    Sitting at home, feeling sorry for ourselves brings no reward.

    Why not get out more and try to socialize with other people?

    If you find yourself alone, it would be best to socalize with people of similar interest like meetin.org.

    Another thing you can try is get a pet to adopt.

    In the long run, you would have to make friends and plans to travel and experienc different culture and people.
