technically I've only been a full NEET for a couple of weeks at this point, having graduated a shitty community college recently, but i've always been a NEET in spirit. as everyone else from my class combined studying with a full time job, i'd come home and dive back into escapism. tried getting a job a couple of times, couldn't deal with the pressure of customer service due to severe social anxiety and quit almost immediately, then procrastinate trying again until at last i graduated and have no excuse to be unemployed anymore.
my life is about to drastically change, and i'm extremely anxious about it.
family is supportive but i feel really guilty for relying on them for so long, so i need to find some sort of job asap. it's probably gonna be a shitty one since most local jobs in my field (design) require experience. my only friend is leaving the country for good in a couple of months, so i'm going to be alone as well. i don't really have any internet friends either. kinda devastating but i hope i'll get out of this period having become a stronger person.

>>2594433Fried dopamine receptors maybe? For most of my life I couldn't do anything that wasn't immediately rewarding e.g. playing video games. Cleaning up my environment, sending an email, following up on an obligation, it was like my brain just didn't want to do it, instead it wanted to do fun things now now now. About 6 months after I started new meds, I realized I was finally capable to put the vidya down an feel rewarded by finishing a chore, applying for a job, etc. I got out of neetdom a year after starting new meds. You could have an actual chemical imbalance that makes anything that isn't superficially rewarding seem like an impossible task that you just refuse to do.
Or you could be scared of change. Or, very likely, neetdom has fucked up your notion of time and you didn't realize how much time had gone by.
