When poker interferes with your social life, it's time for you to rest your mind a little, as the two will only work out if they are in the Right Dose!(y):)

Play more live poker and you'll develop another social life. Or show them how much fun you're having and force them to envy you.
My frustrations linger w/my internet connection. Other than that, I don't think I have any. Maybe the drive back in the middle of the night after a losing session but that's just a residual aspect. I love this game so I'm going to keep playing until there's a flat line, I guess.

My social life consists of sitting at my desk seven days a week and occasionally talking to people on-line so there is no rea effect at all.

It is a hard thing to balance if you are serious about poker, not enough time in the day

I think it all comes down to balance.

Try to do your best to not let one interfere with the other.

Its easier if your friends know when you play.

Frustration is from me myself, not from poker... I keep playing fighting the donkey.

For me personally, poker is more important than my social life. My social life is reduced to shopping trips, and sometimes, 1-2 times a month to meetings with friends. I play poker at least 4-5 days a week, so poker is more important to me than any social interaction.

That's exactly what's almost happening my friend, I'm taking the concerns of pro poker life and the results of poker to life!

For me, I don't close myself off and play poker all day.
I make time for poker and time for my work.
Then social life.

In important tournaments it is better to leave social life aside

When poker starts to interfere with your social life, it's essential to find a healthy balance between the game and your life away from the tables.
Set time and money limits: Set clear limits for the time you will spend on poker and the money you are willing to spend on the game. It is essential to adhere to and respect these boundaries to prevent poker from dominating your social and financial life.
Plan your game schedule: Organize your game time in a conscious and planned way. Allocate specific periods to play poker and make sure it does not interfere with your social, family or work commitments.

My social life got in the way of poker lol
I got married and became a father, and I had to stop playing online poker. Now with my life more organized I'm going back online. Even without playing online for several years, I continued to follow everything I could about poker without compromising my social life. I've been taking a few hours out of my day to play without it interfering with my work, wife, children and the rest of my social life. But it's difficult to reconcile everything, I'm still trying to get used to it.

It doesn't affect my social life, normally in the afternoon I'm free even though it's a good session, plus I give myself days off so I don't get saturated with poker and clear my mind, maybe Sundays are the ones when I sometimes have problems due to events relatives

It's important to remember that both are valuable aspects of your life. Poker can be a fun and strategic game, but it's essential to ensure it doesn't take up all your time

Minha vida social atrapalhou o poker haha
Casei-me, tornei-me pai e tive que parar de jogar pôquer online. Agora com minha vida mais organizada vou voltar a ficar online. Mesmo sem jogar online há vários anos, continuei a seguir tudo o que podia sobre poker sem comprometer a minha vida social. Tenho tirado algumas horas do meu dia para brincar sem que isso interfira no meu trabalho, esposa, filhos e no resto da minha vida social. Mas é difícil conciliar tudo, ainda estou tentando me acostumar.
Good luck in that return brother! 👊

You have to learn to separate things, and the same thing as separating work and home, if you mix things up it will be bad for both your game and your social life
