Get a life?

Just as long as you are happy it doesn't matter if someone thinks you have a "life" or not. That's very rude. They are probably a miserable person and trying to take it out on you.0

Someone felt you need more diversity in your life. Don't take up being rude and thoughtless like that person. I've been told that too. However, I like the place i'm at in my life. That person should take up sky diving and take a flying leap.0

The only time I hear this or even say it, is when people are so wrapped up in my life that it consumes them. If someone has time to tell me how I should live, how I should do things all the time, how I need to raise my kids, and other things, they obviously have no life of their own. Another example is when people find the time to sit there and talk crap on me, seriously get a life! lol. Other then that, I don't know how else this could be taken.0

Usually what they mean is that you are living your life in a way that is different than how they are living theirs and that makes them uncomfortable.
For example, people with kids might tell people without to "get a life" because they think you can't possibly have a complete life without kids (or because they miss the freedom they had before they had them). On the other hand, people with NO kids will tell people with them to "get a life" because they think that all they do is think about their kids.
Or, for a less serious example, people who like to watch football will tell people who like to play Dungeons and Dragons to "get a life" or people who like geeky things will tell people who like sports the same things.
Basically, when people are unhappy with themselves, feeling defensive about their life's choices or the situation in which they've found themselves, they will tell others to "get a life" in order to make themselves feel better.
Just do what makes you happy and don't worry about people who send empty trite comments your way.0 -
Get a life typically means you're too involved in someone elses or you simply don't have one of your own. Get hobbies, interests, friends0

The thing is, I actually have a lot of friends, I socialize on the weekends, as far as hobbies i have a cpl, and I go to the gym everyday so that is kinda like a hobby.. And no I dont try to butt in his life at all, but I guess he just thinks I am boring,, idk0 -
'Get a life' is what people say if you spend your time doing things they think are pointless or unfulfilling. It's either said as an insult or a joke. People have said it to me in the past, because I have interests that others find odd. I pay no attention because my interests make me happy and fulfilled. It's not supposed to be taken literally.0
