The context of the following conversation is Alex loved to watch tv so he spent most of his time up in his room with it on.:
Alex says I've been told I spend too much time sitting in my room watching TV..
The friend responds Well, you do sit on your behind for upwards of 8 hours a day. That's not good for you..
Alex responds I know, but I'm depressed a lot. It's hard to get motivation to get up and face the world, so I  just love to watch TV instead. Don't have to deal with the world..
The friend responds But if you keep doing that, you miss out on a lot too..
Alex responds I know, you're right. I shouldn't watch so much TV, but I do love it. I do need to change..
The friend responds Well, if you need my help and motivation, Alex, I'm always here for you..
