what does the saying, you don't have a life mean to you?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

That the person it is said to is overly emotional about things that don't pertain to them personally or the speaker feels the persons activities are of little value. In general I'd say it is an insult but it could be a tease depending on the relationship of the speaker to the person. 

I can't imagine that would be positive.

If someone said that to me I would take it to mean that I spend too much time focusing on other people's lives instead of my own.

Insult would depend upon the deliverer of that comment.

It is an insult. But I would take it with a grain of salt, depending on the person who said it.

I am not into girls night out, or anything girls only. So if somebody said that to me , who was a lets go party girl, I would blow her off.

I would have laughed if someone that young had said that to me, but I'm 53, been married almost 30 years, raised 3 children and have 4 grandchildren. My life is what I want it to be. Let her live a bit longer and she'll see life changes constantly.

Rude-ola!  I can not believe that someone would have the nerve to pass this type of judgement on someone else's life!  Wow! I'm the type of person who stews over comments like this and approx 2.5 weeks later finally come up with a snappy response, waaaaaaay too late.  

Would it be possible that she is trying to validate her poor choices by dissing you?

I have been the recipient of that terminology. The person saying it is narrow minded, in a "their way is the right way, best way, the only way, etc..." theory. I don't take comments like that personally, because I don't care what other people think. To each, their own.

I live a quieter lifestyle. Not always on the go, go, go. Not that adventurous(once in a while is fine with me). I enjoy reading, scrapbooking, having a great conversation, shopping, listening to my favorite songs, puttering around the house, attending events that I like(arts&crafts, music, etc..), occasionally dining out, occasionally hanging out with friends(usually at a bar and grill type place). 
I love my life. I am very content. 

The person issuing the comment, is always on the go, go, go! Every weekend, after work, etc... Outdoor activities, going here, going there, doing this, doing that. A type of lifestyle, that I would not enjoy at all.
A once in awhile adventure, outside of my normal every day realm,is fine. All the time, no thank you!


Just because my lifestyle is different than someone else's, does not mean " I don't have a life". I have a wonderful life, that I enjoy very much.
Some people can't see past their own self, to understand, that "their way" is not for everyone. 

I can't imagine anybody would be saying it non-judgmentally. But what a boring - and crowded - world it would be if we all lived our lives exactly the same way.

I have some friends who are retired, like me. Somehow, we seem to be very busy and not just with things. As we talk about our schedules, we will joke with each other and say something like I have no life. Or even you have no life. But, if somebody else said it to me, I might be insulted. In our case, it's kind of a double meaning. One, because we are not working we have plenty of time to volunteer. But because we volunteer a lot, we don't have time for other things!

If someone said that to me, I'd be insulted. It implies that I do nothing, have no activities, etc. Now, if I said it about myself, I'd be joking because really, some weeks things are SO boring that it does seem like that we don't have a life But we do have a life. We all do. However, the amount of activities differs for everyone.

Sounds like someone needs to get their own priorities straight.  I would place little, if any, value on their opinion. 

What was her tone? If she said it laughing, I'd probably let it go, but if she said it any other way, I'd be annoyed. What did you respond to her? I can never think of things on the spot, but that would bother me, too.

Are you sure you didn't say something to offend her first? You sound really judgemental of her choices and this sounds like the type of thing someone would say when they are sick of hearing about how someone doesn't agree with their lifestyle.
