How'd you get into it?
I should be able to learn to code (already know some basics) but there's so much stuff possible I don't know what to target to get hired.
i tried the 100 days of code thing and by day 4 i was getting my ass kicked. i dropped it should i try again? i wasnt completely dumbfounded, i use a pc and know somewhat more than the average random who would come into it with zero computer knowledge. my problem was that my answers would be wrong whether slightly or completely. the concepts they were introducing didnt confuse me but i got stuff wrong to the point i would have to watch part of the explanation video to see if i could just get a hint then figure it out on my own. sometimes it worked sometimes i couldnt figure it and so just looked at the answer. i also turned off the ai generated help thing on replit because it would basically just show me the answers.
>turning 30 in 2 weeks >live in tiny apartment with mom and sister in tri state area >no real job skills >have had jobs before the 2 notable ones were in restaurants as basically dishwasher, inventory/supply/general back of house homie >those were the only 2 jobs that payed well and even then, not that well >hate it >quit last month >now NEET again with zero prospects for the future >i have at best 5 years to get my shit together before my mom retires and i have to find my own place >did i mention im also a virgin
i like photoshop/video editing but i struggle to take it seriously/apply myself even though there's potentially big money in it. i built a pc i could edit anything i want but all i do all day is surf the chan get high fap and play vidya. i hate that i dont harness my potential. some homies are truly talentless or lost causes, i could do something with these skills but im just lazy as frick and a slave to my basest desires
>have you tried not being a small man?
do you mean height or in general? either way ive tried a little but ive been this way for like 16 years its hard not to avoid stressful shit, so much so that i dont get anything done and i dont exactly have deep relationships with anyone

Dude, how do you move a big stone across a long field? You have to just start applying effort and keep at it. Everyday, you move the stone a little bit more. You can’t let yourself stand still just because you’ve been still for 16 years. You have to identify where you want to go, and it’s as simple as putting in effort consistently after that.

If you struggle to apply yourself to something you want to do, I would question how much you really want to do it. There’s really only two options. Either you really do want to do it and applying yourself really is your only problem, in which case what you need to do is obvious, or you don’t actually know what you want to do and applying yourself is the only problem, in which case what you need to do is also obvious. So either unfrick yourself by learning to apply yourself or unfrick yourself by figuring out what you want to do.
At the end of the day, you’re just going to have to pick some sort of profession, man. You have to pick something you are going to do. If it’s a something that you really want to have some legacy in, all the better, but it doesn’t need to be. It just needs to pay the bills. Either way, you have to just pick something, knock out all of the requirements to do it, and then do it. It really is that simple.
30 is young enough to make it man. You just can’t wait around anymore or it will quickly become too late. You’re old enough to know that the days are long but the years are short, and if you don’t take action now you’re going to regret it.
Having no money, no pussy, and no self esteem is so much better rabbi.
Losers like you are an embarassment to the anti israelite movement. You just were looking for an excuse to be a loser, not truth.
I have a job and I still have none of those things. Don't fall for the wagie nonsense. You'll still be broke, you'll still be a virgin, and you sure as frick won't suddenly gain some self-esteem.

You should try bouncing between a couple different hobbies or taking a break from videogames till one that sticks out to you again comes by instead of trying to force yourself.
You unfortunately do. That's just what the chimp brain is like. You may not die when going a second without attention like the normans, but there's some baseline level you need to meet I'd say.
I did that for about two months even after selling my electronics, except my phone, so that I have little reason to stay home, but I felt worse. Going out reminds me that I’m not like everyone else. So I’d rather pretend the world doesn’t exist and enjoy my easy life it while it lasts

But you won't because you're an animegay whos content stagnating and doing nothing with your life and dying a loser because you have your "mental illness" to rely on as a crutch.

telling a depressed person go to the gym is similar to telling a amputee to run they simply dont have the capacity
Yeah basically this, make up some bullshit and live like a Black person and then die in your 40's sad and alone without accomplishing anything in your life and dying forgotten
The good old "live with your parents under the pretense that you're studying in uni".
I know a guy who did this for 8 years, then lied about his graduation during the 'rona quarantine and managed to get even more years of pure NEETing
how does the neet system work in america, you apply for some free money or something
in the UK we have to sign up and have bi-weekly interviews about getting back into work and if you dont show up then you dont get anymore money, it is hell
It varies by state in the US. Some states provide more benefits or have less strict requirements, but generally it's really difficult to get any kind of government assistance in the US unless you are literally dirt poor or have a debilitating medical condition.
For unemployment, you have to have previously worked a job and had to have been "laid off", meaning they ended your employment because there was no work for you or they downsized voluntarily. If you quit voluntarily or got fired for being lazy/awful, then you can't get unemployment. Many companies lie about layoffs because they pay higher taxes if they lay people off. So you could get screwed out of unemployment because your employer is evil, which many are. You can submit an appeal to still get it, but it's a slow process and the burden of proof is on you to show you were actually laid off. The benefit also only lasts 24 weeks max in most cases. After that, you're back to being on your own.
There are two other options: Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Income (SSDI)
SSDI is for people that used to work, and then became disabled. It is very convoluted to figure out whether you qualify, so when people submit applications, less than half are approved nationally and it usually takes over a year to get a hearing (a special judge looks at your case).
SSI is the easier one to get. It's also what parents get for disabled kids. It's for people that may or may not have ever worked and are disabled. However, you have to have documented proof (like a doctor's diagnosis) of a qualifying disability and have EXTREMELY little to your name. For instance, having more than $2000 in a bank account disqualifies you from the benefit. So while you can indeed live off the money cheaply, you can't ever save up money this way.
Generally, NEETs in the US are living off their parents. Some people have SSI, but it certainly isn't luxurious for them.
>how does one neet
you dont choose to become a neet, the neet lifestyle chooses you, i dont even want to be a neet, i have applied to 100s of jobs for years, i have a degree no one will hire me, i refuse to do any shitty job thats beneath my degree i am fine with what i have, people put too much emphasis on jobs like it defines them as people they dont take into account that life in unfair to the majority of people there is soo many that dont get to live their dreams, their reality is a shit show so they say frick it i wont participate in this bullshit
There's a lot of other hobbies you could try
Cooking and baking always comes first to my mind, you eat every day so why not learn that
Programming if you're more inclined towards math
Drawing, writing or music if you're a more creative type
Wood carving or pottery if you like handiwork
Try out new things, you'll like something.
I was a NEET for 3 years up until 6 months ago, getting a job has done wonders for my productivity and enjoyment of my hobbies. So I suggest getting a job.
It’s not that you don’t like video games anymore.
It’s just that you’re unhappy with your life and your self is no longer letting you put it off.
Begin to fix your life.
This WILL involve waging if you don’t have the means to live independent otherwise. But it will force you to think about what you ultimately want to do. So you will be on the right trajectory if you don’t be a moron.
Then you can enjoy video games again
Simple as
t. Former NEET
>It’s just that you’re unhappy with your life and your self is no longer letting you put it off.
this is a very good way of putting it. I'm feeling this myself now. I just gotta stop being a coward about finding a job
I sort of agree with you but the issue as I see it is more something to the effect of working (your suggestion) being something that would make my life worse, and it's also the kind of thing you can't escape from without extra effort once you've started.
Given how long I've been a NEET and how little energy I have even as a NEET taking your suggestion would just be throwing myself into worse conditions to do nothing of value and trapping myself there in a place where I can do even less about my life than I can now.
What's the benefit if I get enough money as it is now to live?
Maybe you'd need some exercise and better food to become "normal", but I think most of your perceived blocks are psychological. That's the benefit; seeing that illusion slowly shatter. IDEALLY, joining society is not about getting chained down, but about opening doors.
Either acknowledge you’re on a dead end path, break out of your current lifestyle, and change almost everything about yourself (hard) or accept you are a loser and drink yourself to death (easy)
These are literally your only two options
I just got a job like 2 weeks ago and already want to kill myself, I started to understand why people do drugs or hookers to the point of being dangerous
Focus on getting your life together for now. Pretend you're a character who has to accomplish goals and level up. Games are more fun when they're a pastike and not your main activity.
not even worth trying to be a functional member of society (as a species known for their societal nature)
not even worth trying to fix myself
only worth killing myself to stop being a burden to the rest of society
Cool, do it and stop whining online and seeking attention about it. But you wont because youre a fricking pussy whos too scared to comit to anything let alone something as big as suicide. You just want attention because you didnt get enough from your parents as a kid
>be neet for 20 years >get bored of vidya >get married with kids and a job >just want to play vidya
It's all about balance, to much of anything and you get bored.
ultimately your parents did you dirty by bringing you into this disgusting santanic world to be brainwashed from an early age at "school" just to spend a life at work and then die
it's not your fault but video games are cringe and dumb and should be stopped, find better hobbies as i am trying also
I sometimes think about getting a job too but I don't know if it's just a grass is greener thing. I have worked before, I was still miserable. I think part of the problem though was I was living at home still and it was stressful as fug having work stress then having parental stress when I got back so there was no real time to myself. Also at this point I feel so disconnected from people I don't know how or if I could just slot back into regular life again as if I haven't been socially isolated for nearly a decade. I have pretty extreme anxiety I don't care if you don't think it's real. I know I should have been aborted but I wasn't so I'm stuck here. t. 7 year NEET
>I don't know if it's just a grass is greener thing.
It's complex issue, but I'd wager it puts you on the right track towards life not feeling like a prison. >I have worked before, I was still miserable.
Where you AS miserable? Could it have been less depending on the work? >I think part of the problem though was I was living at home still and it was stressful as fug having work stress then having parental stress when I got back so there was no real time to myself.
An income could help with this >Also at this point I feel so disconnected from people I don't know how or if I could just slot back into regular life again as if I haven't been socially isolated for nearly a decade.
It's pretty rough, but I think ultimately faking it til you make it gets you anywhere you need to go. >I have pretty extreme anxiety
Then you have an excuse to go slow and steady and forgive your mistakes >I should have been aborted
Don't say that to little baby you. He did nothing wrong.
Thanks I appreciate your advice, need to think about it some more. >Where you AS miserable?
I think a lot of it was connected to the home thing. The situation was weird cause I had the money to move out by myself, I just chose not to because I lived with my mother and I had a guilty sense that I needed to stay with her to help financially with her mortgage and shit like that. So I dug my own grave that way. It's what I wanted to do but the way I got repaid was her bringing her boyfriends home, drinking all the time, nagging at me constantly when I'd just got home from work. I love her but it was a crazy situation now I think about it. That's the kind of thing I do, put other people before myself and frick myself over. By the time I notice it's too late. And it's not like any of them even seem to care about what I did for them, at least they never say so. So yeah if I got a job again that's the first mistake I know not to repeat.
I feel you man. I've been a neet for a long time as well, and while I still have my fair share of good days, I also have a lot of "how and why the frick am I living like this?!" moments, usually when I'm completely bored and nothing brings me happiness. Sometimes there's a part of me that wants to get out and get a job so as to stop feeling bad and being a complete leech on my parents, and so I can have my own source of income as well so I can buy stuff. Problem is that I just feel so lazy and unmotivated most of the time, even when trying to do things I enjoy, like playing vidya or watching anime. And due to being a neet for a long time (and also maybe my autism to some extent), I feel like my ability to socialize has been stunted, like there's some invisible force not wanting me to go out and socialize, I don't really know how to describe it. Everyday I feel nonstop guilt about my predicament. I just wanna fix my life and be happy.

Well done. How did you get that, luck? Something like that sounds alright but most offices are very pro-social I think. It's hard to imagine blending in with normies again after something like >neet 2009-2021
I mean you're just not on the same rhythm as most people at that point, most people can't relate to that life. I don't even know what normies talk about anymore.
how does the neet system work in america, you apply for some free money or something
in the UK we have to sign up and have bi-weekly interviews about getting back into work and if you dont show up then you dont get anymore money, it is hell
In the US you have to do quite a lot to apply for it but then after the only issue is you don't get enough money to even rent apartments without low income housing or roommates.
so then I wonder how people stay neet for so long, do they really rely so much on parents or something, and when they die they are fricked. seems not good
>do they really rely so much on parents or something, and when they die they are fricked. seems not good
ding ding ding, welcome to every neet thread on Ganker. neetdom is only feasible if you have enablers like parents who don't care or special situations like being a trust fund baby or parents dying and leaving everything to you along with enough money to cover property/real estate taxes. Every neet situation is always some moron kicking the can down the road and unable to think even 6 months into the future >"but I have depression, I have anxiety, I can't work, nothing motivates me. I'll just be even more stressed if I work, it's not worth the money"
Yeah because being homeless is so much less stressful once the bucks run out. I'm not even a wagie anymore but working 40-50 hours a week is a hell of a lot more preferable than fricking starving or freezing outside in the middle of the winter or going to a shelter with a bunch of drug addicts or jail because you looked at a cop wrong and had the audacity to sleep in a public park
But they won't go through with that so they'll keep complaining and also lying to everything by saying being a neet is soooooooo much better

I'm only "overqualified" for retail and stuff that doesn't require any degree, but I'm pretty sure they don't care about that.
Might do part time work if I can find something decent, this would let me work on my own projects/hobbies.
can the neets who dropped out of university explain how it happened?
did you lose the motivation to finish your degree and just stop showing up?
Uni put me in the wrong masters.
Learned of it when classes started again, thought it was too late to get back into the masters I applied for since there were a couple classes required I didn't take with my bachelors. Could have studied in the summer if I knew.
Then it took another 2 months for classes to properly start because for whatever reason our schedule was fricked, and it turns out none of the stuff interested me.
Lazily did the first semester, dropped out at the start of the second when covid started to pick up cause it was clear this shit was gonna be worthless.
You are moronic if you think suddenly having money makes you happy. I work full time hours, but outside of work there's no time to even begin to think about spending that money.
That still leaves the entire weekend
And you’re a fricking moron for living so far from your place of work unless you have a good reason (e.g. parents house) in which case you shouldn’t be b***hing in the first place.
>shitloads of money to make you happy
It's not gonna be enough to buy a house, what's the point?

I was burnt out before I finished highschool and barely graduated there because I didn't do any of the dumb busywork.
When I got to college I basically did the same and either got As or Fs in my classes depending on how much the grade was weighted to homework and lost my full ride scholarship in one semester or so, then got even more burnt out when I realized I was wasting my time doing this not even knowing what I wanted or stood to gain out of it.
The whole time I was looking at the reality of having to work all the time and do even worse than what I was doing in school the second I graduated so I just decided frick it and stopped.
Not me, but my brother-in-law was a NEET after dropping out of college. He just never studied or did homework and got lackluster grades, and then just didn't go back one semester rather than buckle down. He eventually got a job as an electrician's apprentice through a family friend, and he's doing a lot better now.
Apllied to a course I was too moronic for then dropped out when I realized I'm not only failiing but have so many gaps from previous education in maths and physics that I can't even catch up. Stopped showing up but went back to fill the resignation form when one of my friends (also dropping out) spooked me that they can charge me money if I won't
First 5 months was nice, i was feeling ok, i had 2-3 close friends, my grades were good enough but after 5 months i started feeling bad, getting depressed i remember people asking me "Are you ok anon? Did something happen?" i would say no somehow i managed to finish the first year then summer break passed and i started the second year, i was feeling really depressed i didnt want to talk to anybody, i simply did not have the motivation or desire to go and i couldnt focus in the classroom, i remember forcing myself really hard to focus what teacher says but i wasnt able focus longer than 30 seconds ive tried like this for a few weeks always saying to myself "it will get better, its ok,just focus, i can do it" but after a few weeks i was feeling so bad and isolating myself from others i didnt even know what to do between 15minutes break from each lesson then i said to myself its not getting any better, got back home and said my parents i quit, im a NEET the last 5 years, in the last 5 years i served in the army for 6 months(mandatory) and ive worked for like 2 months in a supermarket
I've started working this year and I miss NEETitude so much, I hate having to travel to work, I hate worrying all the time about doing my job properly, I hate all this money I don't have anything I want to spend on
Dude I was furloughed for 3 months during COVID and 6 weeks later I wanted to kill myself. I couldn't even make games fun by drinking. Going back to work and then deciding to take night classes has limited my free time to the extent that I actually enjoy playing games now when I have the chance. I even had fun last month playing jank ass Bullet Witch.
>Going back to work and then deciding to take night classes has limited my free time to the extent that I actually enjoy stuff
like a whipped slave, that's fricked up.
I work for my family in property management, we shut down the office and had our tenants call us at home to have issues dealt with. I choose to take night classes even though I already have a BSc. The rental properties are going to be mine someday. If anyone is a slave, its our tenants, to paying us
You’re winning, take what you can get. I’m thankful my dad was able to let me have a temp position at his workplace for a year before they laid off all the temps.
I don't see an escape. There's nothing I really care for or am passionate about. I just exist. I've had so many jobs, tried making friends, tried being normal, I just can't cut it and I don't care anymore. This world isn't kind to autists
>neet for over 8 years >no more joy from playing vidya
Now what...?
Combine NEET and Wagie.
I work fifteen hours a week over three days.
The simple fact that I have a limit, no matter how small, on my free time makes it all so much better.
How do I do this?
Simple, I get my tardbux from the government for being a sperg, work the maximum hours they say I can work considering my mental state, and lose a bit off the top of my tardbux which is more than made-up for in my wage.
And I have my pay go into one bank account which I don't touch and my tardbux go into another which I do, because the fact that I've commissioned porn with taxpayer's money tickles the piss out of me.
It's like the entire country jerked me off.
>work the maximum hours they say I can work considering my mental state
I've wanted to try this but I'm paranoid it would go like this: >get job 15 hours a week (or w/e it is) >3 months later >"Since you can work part time, you don't need neetbux at all anymore. Just work more hours." >end life
I dont know if that's what would happen but I can imagine it.
Now you can get your life together.
Or develop a porn addiction until your dopamine receptors die and you get stuck with a fetish you hate but makes you feel really good.
AI, extremists and troons ruined it. If your dopamine receptors crave some humiliation, you might as well go with goblins/orcs, bestiality or just plain NTR.
Becoming a e-girlcon is the best and least damaging path tbh. Even then, the last time I checked a e-girl thread in some *other* board there were lots of trannies larping as e-girls.
Female hormones have damaged the porn-addicted communities like crack in black neighborhoods.
AI has made it better, you can just gen blacked shit instead of having edits of varying quality and relatively poor availability.
The genned blacked porn my friend sends me off /trash/ is generally pretty good.
>Even then, the last time I checked a e-girl thread in some *other* board there were lots of trannies larping as e-girls
I've never busted fatter nuts than the ones from ERPing with mentally ill AGP losers pretending to be e-girls. Goddamnit now I'm gonna end up back in /dft/.
Who cares how he got it? Just because some people struggle doesn't mean those who don't should be looked down on. Sorry that some of us never had to work retail
I don't care about that, I would take a house and car in a heartbeat, I just wouldn't mince words and be extremely thankful to the person or people who gave me that opportunity (probably parents)
I'd say try smoking some weed and playing video games but depending on how old you are or if you've done it before it might be a bad idea. Weed ain't like it used to be. They need to turn it down a couple notches.
I stopped smoking weed last year after smoking it daily for 2 decades. best choice I have made. I still think the herb has many benefits but Im wary of what it has become. you just know theres some frickery going on if the government is willing to make it legal. If Im wrong cool, still think its better to be completely sober and learning to not need anything to have a good time.
Yeah I used to smoke it a lot in my teens and early 20s, stopped for a bit, tried it again in my 30s and it just isn't the same drug I remember. Made me feel like I was having a heart attack it made me so anxious. They definitely changed something or I grew up.

It's way too fricking strong now. You have to smoke all day every day to get enough tolerance. If you just want to casually take the edge off with a bowl pack on the weekend you just waste 2 hours geeking. Shit sucks now. Would love to find a place to get "mids"

>I'm useless, funny thing is that I still work there, now for a year, and I'm still not fired.
You thought they were going for competency and efficiency? LOL
Reminder that the same people that brag about being a neet and collecting disability bux are the same people that complain about Black folk getting welfare and leeching off the government. You're literally the same except the Black person actually probably managed to breed and is more successful than you. Neets are literally lower than your average welfare coon
Can you actually explain why we have to slave 40 hours a week when we have immigrants and AI
At the same time that everyone is fully aware jobs will be exponentially automated, we are still told to get a protestant work ethic and break our backs like it's the 1600s
The immigrants are here for cheap labour, but also we have to do those jobs too. This world is schizophrenic.
I'm 90% sure it's just people who had to suffer trying to push it off on everyone else because they can't accept someone else not having to go through what they did.
Since the overall quality of life improved drastically thanks to technology, people will be content enough not to revolt, even if they're given almost nothing compared to the elites.
I was a NEET for almost 7 years and gaming was one of my favourite distractions, but then the passion fade away.
Now that I've got a good job(for 3rd world standards) I'm going to build my master race to spend my free time.

I do this and it just makes me feel bad cause I suck and it take sforever to improve, meanwhile I could have been doing that years ago
>I could have been doing that years ago
I learned to code at 30 and a few years later I'm a senior dev. Stop being a homosexual and apply yourself
How'd you get into it?
I should be able to learn to code (already know some basics) but there's so much stuff possible I don't know what to target to get hired.
>How'd you get into it?
Check any of the threads on Ganker.
i tried the 100 days of code thing and by day 4 i was getting my ass kicked. i dropped it should i try again? i wasnt completely dumbfounded, i use a pc and know somewhat more than the average random who would come into it with zero computer knowledge. my problem was that my answers would be wrong whether slightly or completely. the concepts they were introducing didnt confuse me but i got stuff wrong to the point i would have to watch part of the explanation video to see if i could just get a hint then figure it out on my own. sometimes it worked sometimes i couldnt figure it and so just looked at the answer. i also turned off the ai generated help thing on replit because it would basically just show me the answers.
this is bait bullshit
Not impossible, maybe the anon had a talent for it or maybe he didn't start from scratch as he implies.

do you mean height or in general? either way ive tried a little but ive been this way for like 16 years its hard not to avoid stressful shit, so much so that i dont get anything done and i dont exactly have deep relationships with anyone
Dude, how do you move a big stone across a long field? You have to just start applying effort and keep at it. Everyday, you move the stone a little bit more. You can’t let yourself stand still just because you’ve been still for 16 years. You have to identify where you want to go, and it’s as simple as putting in effort consistently after that.
ah I get it
you are the good old cant function in society
why havent you killed yourself yet?
here is a vid of some african building a fricking car battery without even having proper tools lol
pussy ass b***h, life ends at 30 btw youve already failed. post your sisters feet
Basically doesn't, if you haven't figured out anything by 30 then there ain't no future for you. Check out of society if you can.
are you 16? you sound moronic
You sound like a loser who has done nothing with your life and still lives with your mom
niggy this board is +18
damn you're 30 and still live with your mom thats fricking crazy. you should be banned because your mental state is under 18
I'm 90 and I'm still fricking ur mom xDDD
and mention those skills. I'm sure even having built a pc is skillful in the right boomer's eyes.
If you struggle to apply yourself to something you want to do, I would question how much you really want to do it. There’s really only two options. Either you really do want to do it and applying yourself really is your only problem, in which case what you need to do is obvious, or you don’t actually know what you want to do and applying yourself is the only problem, in which case what you need to do is also obvious. So either unfrick yourself by learning to apply yourself or unfrick yourself by figuring out what you want to do.
At the end of the day, you’re just going to have to pick some sort of profession, man. You have to pick something you are going to do. If it’s a something that you really want to have some legacy in, all the better, but it doesn’t need to be. It just needs to pay the bills. Either way, you have to just pick something, knock out all of the requirements to do it, and then do it. It really is that simple.
30 is young enough to make it man. You just can’t wait around anymore or it will quickly become too late. You’re old enough to know that the days are long but the years are short, and if you don’t take action now you’re going to regret it.
shut up homosexual

Being a NEET isn't working out, so why not give it a try?
Having no money, no pussy, and no self esteem is so much better rabbi.
Losers like you are an embarassment to the anti israelite movement. You just were looking for an excuse to be a loser, not truth.
I have a job and I still have none of those things. Don't fall for the wagie nonsense. You'll still be broke, you'll still be a virgin, and you sure as frick won't suddenly gain some self-esteem.

t. NEET since 2015 or so
You should try bouncing between a couple different hobbies or taking a break from videogames till one that sticks out to you again comes by instead of trying to force yourself.
This is your instincts screaming at you to get the frick out of your self induced prison into real life
And what am I going to do in the so called "real life"? I don't care about materialism or relationships.
You're lying to yourself when you say you don't care about relationships. The first steps is accepting that.
You unfortunately do. That's just what the chimp brain is like. You may not die when going a second without attention like the normans, but there's some baseline level you need to meet I'd say.
I did that for about two months even after selling my electronics, except my phone, so that I have little reason to stay home, but I felt worse. Going out reminds me that I’m not like everyone else. So I’d rather pretend the world doesn’t exist and enjoy my easy life it while it lasts
Play better vidya
>neet for over 14 years

how does one neet
do you have to be a mutt and pretend you are moronic or something?
You live with your parents and apply for disability. Then once your parents die or go senile you have a nice day.
We call that the millennial dream
I'm in the UK, I've had depression and anxiety issues since I was 17
ah le big sad and oh no everything is spooky
like I said "pretend you are moronic"
ok, if that's what you think
truer than whatever you are forcing yourself to think
"wow life is so le sad and stressful ~~*(("
just kys if you cant function as a human being, no need to be a waste of skin and resources, life isnt for everyone
Spoken like a true moron who doesn't understand mental illnesses.
I think he's right, the problem is that mothers have too much power and in a proper society, the weak get culled painlessly.
>tranime homosexual
>"depressed" with "anxiety"

are you going to transition before killing yourself?

Start going to the gym, get a job, and start slowly trying to socialize and watch how much your life and mental state changes. But you won't because you're an animegay whos content stagnating and doing nothing with your life and dying a loser because you have your "mental illness" to rely on as a crutch.
telling a depressed person go to the gym is similar to telling a amputee to run they simply dont have the capacity
Yeah basically this, make up some bullshit and live like a Black person and then die in your 40's sad and alone without accomplishing anything in your life and dying forgotten
>dying forgotten
You are a peasant, one of the many.
Once you're dead no one will remember your name in a couple of decades,maybe less.
>without accomplishing anything in your life and dying forgotten

The good old "live with your parents under the pretense that you're studying in uni".
I know a guy who did this for 8 years, then lied about his graduation during the 'rona quarantine and managed to get even more years of pure NEETing
It varies by state in the US. Some states provide more benefits or have less strict requirements, but generally it's really difficult to get any kind of government assistance in the US unless you are literally dirt poor or have a debilitating medical condition.
For unemployment, you have to have previously worked a job and had to have been "laid off", meaning they ended your employment because there was no work for you or they downsized voluntarily. If you quit voluntarily or got fired for being lazy/awful, then you can't get unemployment. Many companies lie about layoffs because they pay higher taxes if they lay people off. So you could get screwed out of unemployment because your employer is evil, which many are. You can submit an appeal to still get it, but it's a slow process and the burden of proof is on you to show you were actually laid off. The benefit also only lasts 24 weeks max in most cases. After that, you're back to being on your own.
There are two other options: Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Income (SSDI)
SSDI is for people that used to work, and then became disabled. It is very convoluted to figure out whether you qualify, so when people submit applications, less than half are approved nationally and it usually takes over a year to get a hearing (a special judge looks at your case).
SSI is the easier one to get. It's also what parents get for disabled kids. It's for people that may or may not have ever worked and are disabled. However, you have to have documented proof (like a doctor's diagnosis) of a qualifying disability and have EXTREMELY little to your name. For instance, having more than $2000 in a bank account disqualifies you from the benefit. So while you can indeed live off the money cheaply, you can't ever save up money this way.
Generally, NEETs in the US are living off their parents. Some people have SSI, but it certainly isn't luxurious for them.
>how does one neet
you dont choose to become a neet, the neet lifestyle chooses you, i dont even want to be a neet, i have applied to 100s of jobs for years, i have a degree no one will hire me, i refuse to do any shitty job thats beneath my degree i am fine with what i have, people put too much emphasis on jobs like it defines them as people they dont take into account that life in unfair to the majority of people there is soo many that dont get to live their dreams, their reality is a shit show so they say frick it i wont participate in this bullshit
give it another 3 years and itll be back
>8 years of not being in education employement or training
How? Do you live with mommy? Are you invalid? Blows my fricking mind
I live alone. I receive government bucks for my mental illnesses.
normalgay
I qualify for disability because of tism. Don't even live with my parent's. got cheap housing that's like $700 a month rent.
unfry your dopamine receptors you overstimulated moron
There's a lot of other hobbies you could try
Cooking and baking always comes first to my mind, you eat every day so why not learn that
Programming if you're more inclined towards math
Drawing, writing or music if you're a more creative type
Wood carving or pottery if you like handiwork
Try out new things, you'll like something.
I was a NEET for 3 years up until 6 months ago, getting a job has done wonders for my productivity and enjoyment of my hobbies. So I suggest getting a job.
When you're a NEET your time is worthless, so you end up valuing it less.
What age?
Think I'm on 10. Dread hasn't set in yet.
Play better games. Try some genres you haven't before. Diversify your hobbies. Read a book.
Kind of hard to do when you have bipolar and aspergers.
It’s not that you don’t like video games anymore.
It’s just that you’re unhappy with your life and your self is no longer letting you put it off.
Begin to fix your life.
This WILL involve waging if you don’t have the means to live independent otherwise. But it will force you to think about what you ultimately want to do. So you will be on the right trajectory if you don’t be a moron.
Then you can enjoy video games again
Simple as
t. Former NEET
>It’s just that you’re unhappy with your life and your self is no longer letting you put it off.
this is a very good way of putting it. I'm feeling this myself now. I just gotta stop being a coward about finding a job
I sort of agree with you but the issue as I see it is more something to the effect of working (your suggestion) being something that would make my life worse, and it's also the kind of thing you can't escape from without extra effort once you've started.
Given how long I've been a NEET and how little energy I have even as a NEET taking your suggestion would just be throwing myself into worse conditions to do nothing of value and trapping myself there in a place where I can do even less about my life than I can now.
What's the benefit if I get enough money as it is now to live?
Maybe you'd need some exercise and better food to become "normal", but I think most of your perceived blocks are psychological. That's the benefit; seeing that illusion slowly shatter. IDEALLY, joining society is not about getting chained down, but about opening doors.
that's not it at all
it's that good times are only good if there are also bad times. If your life defaults to good, then good no longer feels good
>wagecucking for 10 years
>ready to kys myself
>no gibs opportunities whatsoever
Either acknowledge you’re on a dead end path, break out of your current lifestyle, and change almost everything about yourself (hard) or accept you are a loser and drink yourself to death (easy)
These are literally your only two options
I just got a job like 2 weeks ago and already want to kill myself, I started to understand why people do drugs or hookers to the point of being dangerous
Not even worth replying to ignorant homosexuals like you.
Focus on getting your life together for now. Pretend you're a character who has to accomplish goals and level up. Games are more fun when they're a pastike and not your main activity.
>Games are more fun when they're a pastike and not your main activity.
not even worth trying to be a functional member of society (as a species known for their societal nature)
not even worth trying to fix myself
only worth killing myself to stop being a burden to the rest of society
Cool, do it and stop whining online and seeking attention about it. But you wont because youre a fricking pussy whos too scared to comit to anything let alone something as big as suicide. You just want attention because you didnt get enough from your parents as a kid
Start going for walks outside.
This. Literally a lifehack how comfy parks and trails get during wagie hours
Respec in social powerhouse.
Become a nightclub owner and eventually get involved with organized crime.

Okay, where?

>be neet for 20 years
>get bored of vidya

It's all about balance, to much of anything and you get bored.
ultimately your parents did you dirty by bringing you into this disgusting santanic world to be brainwashed from an early age at "school" just to spend a life at work and then die
it's not your fault but video games are cringe and dumb and should be stopped, find better hobbies as i am trying also
You feel that way and yet you spend your time here. That's as big of a failure as you can be.
Where else is he supposed to spend his time?
I sometimes think about getting a job too but I don't know if it's just a grass is greener thing. I have worked before, I was still miserable. I think part of the problem though was I was living at home still and it was stressful as fug having work stress then having parental stress when I got back so there was no real time to myself. Also at this point I feel so disconnected from people I don't know how or if I could just slot back into regular life again as if I haven't been socially isolated for nearly a decade. I have pretty extreme anxiety I don't care if you don't think it's real. I know I should have been aborted but I wasn't so I'm stuck here. t. 7 year NEET
>I don't know if it's just a grass is greener thing.
It's complex issue, but I'd wager it puts you on the right track towards life not feeling like a prison.
>I have worked before, I was still miserable.
Where you AS miserable? Could it have been less depending on the work?
>I think part of the problem though was I was living at home still and it was stressful as fug having work stress then having parental stress when I got back so there was no real time to myself.
An income could help with this
>Also at this point I feel so disconnected from people I don't know how or if I could just slot back into regular life again as if I haven't been socially isolated for nearly a decade.
It's pretty rough, but I think ultimately faking it til you make it gets you anywhere you need to go.
>I have pretty extreme anxiety
Then you have an excuse to go slow and steady and forgive your mistakes
>I should have been aborted
Don't say that to little baby you. He did nothing wrong.
Thanks I appreciate your advice, need to think about it some more.
>Where you AS miserable?
I think a lot of it was connected to the home thing. The situation was weird cause I had the money to move out by myself, I just chose not to because I lived with my mother and I had a guilty sense that I needed to stay with her to help financially with her mortgage and shit like that. So I dug my own grave that way. It's what I wanted to do but the way I got repaid was her bringing her boyfriends home, drinking all the time, nagging at me constantly when I'd just got home from work. I love her but it was a crazy situation now I think about it. That's the kind of thing I do, put other people before myself and frick myself over. By the time I notice it's too late. And it's not like any of them even seem to care about what I did for them, at least they never say so. So yeah if I got a job again that's the first mistake I know not to repeat.
I feel you man. I've been a neet for a long time as well, and while I still have my fair share of good days, I also have a lot of "how and why the frick am I living like this?!" moments, usually when I'm completely bored and nothing brings me happiness. Sometimes there's a part of me that wants to get out and get a job so as to stop feeling bad and being a complete leech on my parents, and so I can have my own source of income as well so I can buy stuff. Problem is that I just feel so lazy and unmotivated most of the time, even when trying to do things I enjoy, like playing vidya or watching anime. And due to being a neet for a long time (and also maybe my autism to some extent), I feel like my ability to socialize has been stunted, like there's some invisible force not wanting me to go out and socialize, I don't really know how to describe it. Everyday I feel nonstop guilt about my predicament. I just wanna fix my life and be happy.

>neet 2009-2021
I mean you're just not on the same rhythm as most people at that point, most people can't relate to that life. I don't even know what normies talk about anymore.
Try film and literature
Go outside and touch grass. Learn a new skill. Try out new hobbies
how does the neet system work in america, you apply for some free money or something
in the UK we have to sign up and have bi-weekly interviews about getting back into work and if you dont show up then you dont get anymore money, it is hell
In the US you have to do quite a lot to apply for it but then after the only issue is you don't get enough money to even rent apartments without low income housing or roommates.
so then I wonder how people stay neet for so long, do they really rely so much on parents or something, and when they die they are fricked. seems not good
>do they really rely so much on parents or something, and when they die they are fricked. seems not good
ding ding ding, welcome to every neet thread on Ganker. neetdom is only feasible if you have enablers like parents who don't care or special situations like being a trust fund baby or parents dying and leaving everything to you along with enough money to cover property/real estate taxes. Every neet situation is always some moron kicking the can down the road and unable to think even 6 months into the future
>"but I have depression, I have anxiety, I can't work, nothing motivates me. I'll just be even more stressed if I work, it's not worth the money"
Yeah because being homeless is so much less stressful once the bucks run out. I'm not even a wagie anymore but working 40-50 hours a week is a hell of a lot more preferable than fricking starving or freezing outside in the middle of the winter or going to a shelter with a bunch of drug addicts or jail because you looked at a cop wrong and had the audacity to sleep in a public park
You could just have a nice day. That seems to be the natural way of doing it when the money runs out.
But they won't go through with that so they'll keep complaining and also lying to everything by saying being a neet is soooooooo much better
Nah, people kill themselves all the time. Two of my best friends killed themselves last year so I know it ain't hard.
These people are different, theyre mentally pussified, the reason theyre in the situation theyre in now is because theyre too gay to commit to anything and try to accomplish anything. What makes you think they can commit to killing themselves
>neetdom is only feasible if
Disability dummy. t. NEET in own apartment (rent covered by bux), haven't interacted with or asked for anything from parents in many years
this will not last, I assure you
Why's that?
nothing will last anon. look around you. you think this can go for much longer?
We only wake up in the morning because the clock in our chest continues to beat another day. It could stop at any moment. Nothing is guaranteed in life anon.
If your counter argument is a (horribly) stated false equivalency and reductionist argument you should just have a nice day now
We just view life differently. You could work for decades then drop dead just before you retire. So what. What kind of argument is this "this won't last" you could say that about literally anything in life.
That would be correct if I wake up not-disabled one day, but that's unlikely.
In the event of whatever apocalyptic mad max le collapse you're trying to spook me out by implying, in that case I'd have more pressing issues than finances.
No moron. I wasn't implying any mad max apocalypse shit. I hope you're missing a few limbs or have cancer, or are a vet, or are like 80+ because if it's anything but those you're going to absolutely be kicked off of your benefits and will want to off yourself

No but I could hack one off if I need to.

Get yourself a trade apprenticeship. You'll come out the other side making good money wiring up houses, or fixing industrial equipment instead of being a cubicle slave

>had shitty job
>covid fricked it over so the bosses shuttered the business and laid us all off so we could get unemployment
>collect unemployment, tax returns, stimulus checks all at the same time
same here, been told im overqualified for positions, applied to over 250 jobs in a year. its so fricking frustrating
I'm only "overqualified" for retail and stuff that doesn't require any degree, but I'm pretty sure they don't care about that.
Might do part time work if I can find something decent, this would let me work on my own projects/hobbies.
Uni put me in the wrong masters.
Learned of it when classes started again, thought it was too late to get back into the masters I applied for since there were a couple classes required I didn't take with my bachelors. Could have studied in the summer if I knew.
Then it took another 2 months for classes to properly start because for whatever reason our schedule was fricked, and it turns out none of the stuff interested me.
Lazily did the first semester, dropped out at the start of the second when covid started to pick up cause it was clear this shit was gonna be worthless.

You should seek answers from within yourself, not within others.

yes but you can have shitloads of money to make you happy
You are moronic if you think suddenly having money makes you happy. I work full time hours, but outside of work there's no time to even begin to think about spending that money.
then get a part time job, it will still pay morer than neetbux but you get time
If you can’t find time to do anything after working 40 hours a week you have serious problems with time management. The frick do you do all weekend?

That still leaves the entire weekend
And you’re a fricking moron for living so far from your place of work unless you have a good reason (e.g. parents house) in which case you shouldn’t be b***hing in the first place.
i love being a 3 days on 4 days off chad. feels god
>shitloads of money to make you happy
It's not gonna be enough to buy a house, what's the point?
I literally stop caring about money once I got enough to pay for food and basic maintenance things.
then buy a flatpack house
I want money so I can buy guns and stuff to make bootleg alcohol.

why do you think that? I have a work phone that I leave at work and it even automatically switches to DND lol
t. working in projects department of the biggest X manufacturing plant in the balkans
also fricking checked
can the neets who dropped out of university explain how it happened?
did you lose the motivation to finish your degree and just stop showing up?
Got sick, never reapplied. Parents died, got death benefits, never went back.
I would sit there and fail to get anything done for hours, eventually I didn’t even bother to open the laptop anymore. I don’t have adhd.
couldnt go to uni because I had to get a job and pay for the household
I was burnt out before I finished highschool and barely graduated there because I didn't do any of the dumb busywork.
When I got to college I basically did the same and either got As or Fs in my classes depending on how much the grade was weighted to homework and lost my full ride scholarship in one semester or so, then got even more burnt out when I realized I was wasting my time doing this not even knowing what I wanted or stood to gain out of it.
The whole time I was looking at the reality of having to work all the time and do even worse than what I was doing in school the second I graduated so I just decided frick it and stopped.
Not me, but my brother-in-law was a NEET after dropping out of college. He just never studied or did homework and got lackluster grades, and then just didn't go back one semester rather than buckle down. He eventually got a job as an electrician's apprentice through a family friend, and he's doing a lot better now.
Apllied to a course I was too moronic for then dropped out when I realized I'm not only failiing but have so many gaps from previous education in maths and physics that I can't even catch up. Stopped showing up but went back to fill the resignation form when one of my friends (also dropping out) spooked me that they can charge me money if I won't
First 5 months was nice, i was feeling ok, i had 2-3 close friends, my grades were good enough but after 5 months i started feeling bad, getting depressed i remember people asking me "Are you ok anon? Did something happen?" i would say no somehow i managed to finish the first year then summer break passed and i started the second year, i was feeling really depressed i didnt want to talk to anybody, i simply did not have the motivation or desire to go and i couldnt focus in the classroom, i remember forcing myself really hard to focus what teacher says but i wasnt able focus longer than 30 seconds ive tried like this for a few weeks always saying to myself "it will get better, its ok,just focus, i can do it" but after a few weeks i was feeling so bad and isolating myself from others i didnt even know what to do between 15minutes break from each lesson then i said to myself its not getting any better, got back home and said my parents i quit, im a NEET the last 5 years, in the last 5 years i served in the army for 6 months(mandatory) and ive worked for like 2 months in a supermarket
Based af
HEY YOU ON PUBLIC ASSISTANCE WHY DON'T YOU GET A JOB
SELL SOME DOPE AND BUY SOME PRIDE IT'S THE ONLY THING YOU COULDN'T ROB
I've started working this year and I miss NEETitude so much, I hate having to travel to work, I hate worrying all the time about doing my job properly, I hate all this money I don't have anything I want to spend on
>took 8 years
Dude I was furloughed for 3 months during COVID and 6 weeks later I wanted to kill myself. I couldn't even make games fun by drinking. Going back to work and then deciding to take night classes has limited my free time to the extent that I actually enjoy playing games now when I have the chance. I even had fun last month playing jank ass Bullet Witch.
>Going back to work and then deciding to take night classes has limited my free time to the extent that I actually enjoy stuff
like a whipped slave, that's fricked up.
I work for my family in property management, we shut down the office and had our tenants call us at home to have issues dealt with. I choose to take night classes even though I already have a BSc. The rental properties are going to be mine someday. If anyone is a slave, its our tenants, to paying us
>Going back to work
>I work for my family in property management
so you never had a job
Fine, I'm a nepo baby, makes me even less of a slave lmao.
You’re winning, take what you can get. I’m thankful my dad was able to let me have a temp position at his workplace for a year before they laid off all the temps.
>Bullet Witch
good taste
consider sudoku
I don't see an escape. There's nothing I really care for or am passionate about. I just exist. I've had so many jobs, tried making friends, tried being normal, I just can't cut it and I don't care anymore. This world isn't kind to autists
Combine NEET and Wagie.
I work fifteen hours a week over three days.
The simple fact that I have a limit, no matter how small, on my free time makes it all so much better.
How do I do this?
Simple, I get my tardbux from the government for being a sperg, work the maximum hours they say I can work considering my mental state, and lose a bit off the top of my tardbux which is more than made-up for in my wage.
And I have my pay go into one bank account which I don't touch and my tardbux go into another which I do, because the fact that I've commissioned porn with taxpayer's money tickles the piss out of me.
It's like the entire country jerked me off.
>work the maximum hours they say I can work considering my mental state
I've wanted to try this but I'm paranoid it would go like this:
>get job 15 hours a week (or w/e it is)
>3 months later
>"Since you can work part time, you don't need neetbux at all anymore. Just work more hours."
>end life
I dont know if that's what would happen but I can imagine it.
I fricking kneel
Silly swede
Now you can get your life together.
Or develop a porn addiction until your dopamine receptors die and you get stuck with a fetish you hate but makes you feel really good.
i suggest blacked for the second one
Sorry I went for pedophilia instead.
2dblacked on 8ch net Best of both worlds
AI, extremists and troons ruined it. If your dopamine receptors crave some humiliation, you might as well go with goblins/orcs, bestiality or just plain NTR.
Becoming a e-girlcon is the best and least damaging path tbh. Even then, the last time I checked a e-girl thread in some *other* board there were lots of trannies larping as e-girls.
Female hormones have damaged the porn-addicted communities like crack in black neighborhoods.
AI has made it better, you can just gen blacked shit instead of having edits of varying quality and relatively poor availability.
The genned blacked porn my friend sends me off /trash/ is generally pretty good.
>Even then, the last time I checked a e-girl thread in some *other* board there were lots of trannies larping as e-girls
I've never busted fatter nuts than the ones from ERPing with mentally ill AGP losers pretending to be e-girls. Goddamnit now I'm gonna end up back in /dft/.
35, never had a job. Pretty much just skate amd drink all day. I have a house and car so I'm not complaining.
>I was handed an interest free house and car, along with other amenities that I didn't have to pay for
ftfy
Yeah
Cause I see it all the time, I guess i have normalcy bias
Who cares how he got it? Just because some people struggle doesn't mean those who don't should be looked down on. Sorry that some of us never had to work retail
I don't care about that, I would take a house and car in a heartbeat, I just wouldn't mince words and be extremely thankful to the person or people who gave me that opportunity (probably parents)
touch grass and have sex, I guess.
This, if only so you can enjoy being a neet again if you stop.
I'd say try smoking some weed and playing video games but depending on how old you are or if you've done it before it might be a bad idea. Weed ain't like it used to be. They need to turn it down a couple notches.
I stopped smoking weed last year after smoking it daily for 2 decades. best choice I have made. I still think the herb has many benefits but Im wary of what it has become. you just know theres some frickery going on if the government is willing to make it legal. If Im wrong cool, still think its better to be completely sober and learning to not need anything to have a good time.
Yeah I used to smoke it a lot in my teens and early 20s, stopped for a bit, tried it again in my 30s and it just isn't the same drug I remember. Made me feel like I was having a heart attack it made me so anxious. They definitely changed something or I grew up.
It's way too fricking strong now. You have to smoke all day every day to get enough tolerance. If you just want to casually take the edge off with a bowl pack on the weekend you just waste 2 hours geeking. Shit sucks now. Would love to find a place to get "mids"
>Finally get job
>Everyone likes me
>Just 2 months in I'm burnt out, can't focus, mind just drifts away
>Start drinking right after I get home
I'm useless, funny thing is that I still work there, now for a year, and I'm still not fired.
best part is you're complacent and dont have drive
they love that more than competence
you still fill an employment quota
>I'm useless, funny thing is that I still work there, now for a year, and I'm still not fired.
You thought they were going for competency and efficiency? LOL
Time to go hollow and kys
cheer up anons, its not all THAT bad
When you realize that everyone has their own shit to deal with and life is imperfect then you eventually chill out.
this. learning to let go sounds easy but its hard af. but in the end its the only path which will bring one inner peace.
we're all alone together in this shit, so lets make the best out of it. that goes to the rest of this thread as well.
Reminder that the same people that brag about being a neet and collecting disability bux are the same people that complain about Black folk getting welfare and leeching off the government. You're literally the same except the Black person actually probably managed to breed and is more successful than you. Neets are literally lower than your average welfare coon
Does it make you feel better about having to work if you say that?
t. has never complained about anyone on welfare
Can you actually explain why we have to slave 40 hours a week when we have immigrants and AI
At the same time that everyone is fully aware jobs will be exponentially automated, we are still told to get a protestant work ethic and break our backs like it's the 1600s
The immigrants are here for cheap labour, but also we have to do those jobs too. This world is schizophrenic.
I'm 90% sure it's just people who had to suffer trying to push it off on everyone else because they can't accept someone else not having to go through what they did.
the irony being that people in the 1600s worked less and had more fruits from their labor than the crumbs handed out to wagies nowadays.
Since the overall quality of life improved drastically thanks to technology, people will be content enough not to revolt, even if they're given almost nothing compared to the elites.
the prison of commodity is but an illusion. people are more sick and depressed than ever before.
Only partially true. Life insurance companies recently did a downgrade on life expectancy projections for millennials, generation z and alpha.
What bank accepts good boy points?
Scream literally as loud as you can. Then go play the games and they should be fun again. It works for me.
Find better games to play.
I was a NEET for almost 7 years and gaming was one of my favourite distractions, but then the passion fade away.
Now that I've got a good job(for 3rd world standards) I'm going to build my master race to spend my free time.
>no more joy from playing vidya
Try making vidya instead. Start with pong.
not subbing to your patreon, troony
play co-op games with frens
Back to uni, boi
Make money. Then do something with that money when you feel like ending it.
create something literally anything
