I'm a fucking neet myself, so is this thread for neets who don't want to recover like in the other thread?

No. 859860

>>859851
Don't want to recover/ don't want to take steps yet to recover. I'm at the point where I just want a long break from trying to recover, and return to old ways. But that would seem anti-recovering so I just made a new thread for neets who don't want to change. Sometimes it's too late to recover for some people. Hope they don't feel too alone, even if it's through a screen humans need community.

No. 859949

What's the line between neet and just loser? For example, parents who support you but require you to work one day a week at a part time. And the rest of the time you're living like a hermit. Is it actually just "not in education employment or training"? Or is it more of a lifestyle/mindset?

Neetdom is a luxury tbh, your parents have to be nice and rich enough to care for you. It can be miserable or great depending on whether you're depressed.

No. 860327

I've quit every job i've ever had besides like one after a month or two because bosses are just complete and utter assholes. Unfortunately, I have a car payment now and like I could do a delivery app but I'm still terrified of driving and don't know directions for shit. I used to think that people didn't want to be my friend because i couldn't drive, but now i just realize that i really don't have any friends and leaving the house makes me extra paranoid.

NEET life was really fun for me when I was a highschool dropout but after a long enough period of time, the depression gets so bad. It's probably ok if you have rich parents, though. I'm twenty four now, and I don't have that luxury, so I'm pretty much putting off the work life as long as I can because I can't do a 9-5 without having a breakdown. Do any of you live on disability?

Now I have a job and a bf, I socialize every day, but when I was a NEET I felt so much more individual and creative. I feel like getting a job and bf were beneficial overall but sapped my sense of identity and individuality. When I was a NEET I drew fanart (I used to get recognized by developers when I would make vidya fanart, feltgood), watched a ton of movies and series, and wrote a lot, too – all things I could do for little to no money.

Can't stop thinking about bad interview experiences I've had in the past. I had one where the manager berated me because I didn't have experience in the shitty HRIS system they used because I'd never held a similar position before. Even though the person at the first interview told me I'd be perfect for the role. Makes me feel like I will never get hired. Every time I get to the second interview stage I never get the role and it just gets my hopes up. Why do I fail even when I've prepared with notes, rehearsed common interview questions in STAR format, show up professionally dressed? I think it's because I am ugly and have bad social skills (I used to be bullied in school). Who wants an ugly awkward woman working for them? Yeah I wouldn't hire me either. I should've taken the hint when I had so much trouble getting a required internship in college I had to delay graduation by a semester.

I got sick right as I finished high school, was thrown into a rehabilitation facility for some time by my own parents because they didn't want to help me and told lies to the staff to have me admitted, and now I live like a neet because I feel like I don't have enough psychological strenght to work a job I don't like for so much time. Weighing on my parents makes me feel guilty, but at the same time I think they deserve it for what they've done. I make some money with art and I plan to make it into some sort of job. I also take care of my dog. Honestly doing things at my own pace feels nice, and the end results may not even be that different from having a random minimum wage job. I've never had friends even when I was not a neet, so the loneliness doesn't bother me that much.

i think it's the attitude. A loser doesn't give a fuck about working, is happy to live of other people's money, but is otherwise a normal person, with friends and relationships.
A neet is more reclusive, imo, either by depression or by choice. But i read neet as it is normally used as a synonim of hikikomori.

I didn't like being a neet, because i hate being under my parents thumb (even though they are getting more generous and patient with age), and i like working if it is something worthwhile. Media bores me.
But honestly, if someone drops a wageslave shitty job to become a neet, and uses their free time to work on something that makes them happy or needed, like caring for an elderly, or becoming a handyman or farmhand or housewife/husband, or working gigs, i can't really judge. Wageslaving in shitty soulsucking jobs is fucking hell.

I love NEET life. I think many people are just wired for it but society makes us all have guilty complex about such compulsion. I loved school, or rather learning, but I always hated working. If only going to school is a job, if only I could just collect knowledge for money, then I’d consider it. But be it manual labor or white collar, normalfagging absolutely destroys my mental health, by the 9th month of any given job, I’d be zooted at work constantly.
NEETdom is double edged sword though. It is very easy to fall depressive and get stuck in a cycle of misery if mismanaged, you’re also very vulnerable if you don’t have support network.
But with just a little discipline and finesse, it’s the best. I study whatever the fuck I want, I have time to eat well and exercise, to indulge in hobbies and hone new skills. I actually practice time management and goal setting on my own volition.
Luckily I don’t have to struggle for money atm. I draw for spending cash for fun but that’s about it. Although I made decent amount of seeding cash from meme stocks and crypto this past year so I’d like to take investing more seriously.

I’d like to hoard enough money to just fuck off to a third world coastal town and grow old with some friends and cats.

I have no desire to be seen or heard, no desire to speak or be spoken to. no desires at all really. no social media, nothing but anonymity, and even then only a passing interest in expressing a thought coming from an “I”. it’s like by not participating in society, I’ve forgotten my name. even worse, by not participating, I feel I deserve to forget it. to lose my name and lose my mind too.

I'm 24 too. I work a 9-5 and have had breakdowns but I work from home so it's not as bad. It's a boring as fuck admin job but I can afford to live alone in peace, not with my parents. But before this job I was on disability from my old job due to mental health reasons. When I came back no one noticed so I just didn't work, got paid for 2 months (plus the pay on disability) then put in my notice kek. So I was considerably NEET for a few months. It was ok on disability because I was going to therapy in the mornings and in the afternoons I would just watch tv, draw, read, do whatever and not have to stress about work. I don't think I could get on disability again unless I had a psychotic break unfortunately. It seems like a lot of work to get semi-permanent disability, you need paperwork from doctor visits spanning years along with diagnoses, references, etc. and I don't go to treatment regularly. Maybe if you have a lot of professional help in your past and start to keep track of it you could build a case.

NTA but it's more nuanced

Life in the west from 1945-1970 was objectively better than life now. For starters, you weren't derided as being a loser for just leaving school and going to work in a factory, people were much more accepting of class differences back then than they are now. There was less obesity, you didn't need a car to function, rent and homes were cheap and people were genuinely healthier and happier. Things were more social. And introversion was reserved for Ted Kaczynski tier assburgers and not for 20% of the population.

In the west now, materially we're better off than most parts of history, but I do think we're degraded due to our cancerous stress inducing lifestyles. Between the internet addictions, shit diets, isolating lifestyles and extreme oversocialization, we definitely do suffer more than the generation before us. It's a new type of suffering we really haven't come to deal with yet.

I think it's normal to want to work, but not in the way we work in capitalism. Working back in the day was ok because the rewards were instantaneous. When I went to help on family members farm I enjoyed working and being exhausted at the end of the day, because my efforts were clearly and quickly rewarded. Nowadays ppl (if they're lucky!) sit infront of a box indoors doing super abstract work for their company. If they're not lucky it's lifting boxes in a warehouse until they get injured then fired and homeless. Employers don't even care about paying ppl enough to just survive to keep working. Of course it's super demoralizing and makes ppl not want to work at all. I find lots of neets had horrible jobs, whether it was being super over worked, or mentally abused.

I've stayed at home so long as a NEET that I hadn't realized how quickly the place where I live was undergoing development and changing. Very strange feeling when I go outside now, I feel like I don't even live in the same neighbourhood anymore, makes me want to stay home even more now.

Spot on. I just finished a great audiobook called Womens Work, which is about the overlooked history of textiles. It really painted a lovely picture in my mind of ancient women working together to process fibers and weave on their looms, creating intricate cloths & patterns for them and their families to wear. They'd work all day technically but they'd do it on their own terms, often outside while chatting and watching their kids play.
Pre-currency work, when the gap between elite and common folk was much smaller, was when work was most rewarding.

Meanwhile all the work I've ever done has been a meaningless job exactly as described in the book Bullshit Jobs: A Theory.

Because there's a different dynamic: other women will judge you, while the man who loves you, will accept you as you are. As someone who has been somewhat in this situation, women will judge you, from the way you look - the clothes you wear, the makeup you wear, or don't, to what you say and what you do - if it's according to their taste, they like you, if not, they will tear you apart… For some people, it's much harder to establish a true friendship than to find true love.

NTA but if you're a housewife with no formal training or job experience there's a huge risk in divorcing since you couldn't support yourself and possible kids.

There are definitely women here who do want to be one or are, homemakers that is. But I think that being in or having been in this situation helps you see all its flaws, and you're definitely right about all that can go wrong if you don't find the right person. You raise good points every woman should at least consider before becoming dependent on anyone. Putting all your eggs in one basket is dangerous, especially if you don't come from a solid support system you can return to if shit hits the fan one day. People who act like everyone needs to be a wheatfield tradwife to be happy are just coping and/or probably not even actually housewives themselves, everyone is different and it depends on who you meet. NEET or not, there's no one way for women to live. So many posters on this board and /snow/ recently seem to act like this is not the case, but you are right.

I’ve been a neet off and on a few times since I was about 16 (25 now). My parents kicked me out at 18, so my brief stints of unemployment were funded by my own savings and/or whatever guy I was dating at the time. My depression is so bad right now, I want to quit my job and be a neet again but no savings or simp bf. Life is hard, I miss never leaving the house and sleeping whenever I want

He's become increasingly resentful, jealous and bitter over the years despite me taking care of all the errands, cooking, cleaning, etc. He has his own mental health issues and shut-in tendencies, and I always try to be as loving and understanding as I can, but I can feel him breaking and he desperately wants our roles to be reversed.

Mid-life crisises are basically unavoidable regardless of whether you've been wiling away your time or making progress in your career. I think in a lot of cases, having achieved a lot actually makes you feel worse, either because you feel like you have nothing left to accomplish or because you've been exposed to an even more successful class of person to be jealous of.

There are a lot of valid NEET worries, but this type of anxiety is something that's going to happen one way or another so you kind of just have to confront it head on imo.

I was a NEET for most of early adulthood but finally escaped it and was doing ok for myself, even if it was a bit less than people my age. Then not even 3 years later, I developed a physical disability that leaves me housebound and unable to work and now I'm back in the NEET hole, this time not by choice. I want to kill myself every day, not just because my disability makes life unbearable, but just that I had such a short period of success and no chance to get it back. I know I should be glad I managed to do it at all. But god. It hurts so much to look back on. Especially since I can't enjoy the things I once did in my first round of NEET life.

I dropped out of university in 2015 when it became too much for me to deal with on top of ADHD, depression, and dealing with multiple consecutive deaths in my family at the time. Tbh even then I was just taking random courses because of the societal pressure to have a degree in order to be seen as worthy and intelligent. There were a few courses that really interested me, but I still have no idea how people decide on a career path. Nothing jumps out at me and screams "this is something I can see myself devoting my life to."

I've always struggled with just finding jobs I can "do" because of my social anxiety. I know I wouldn't be able to handle a position directly on the front lines in customer service dealing with unpredictable and irritable people, but 90% of entry level positions are in retail and I've never made it past the interview process anyway apart from volunteer positions and one year I helped out at the store my mom worked at bc they needed extra people at Christmas time.

At this point I really need the money and I was almost ready to bite the bullet and look more seriously for a part-time position somewhere, but then the pandemic hit and my mom developed an autoimmune disorder that scarred her lungs to the point where she can no longer breathe properly and even struggles just speaking some days. She's heavily immunosuppressed to stop it from progressing, and if she even got a mild case of covid I don't think she would survive it. So now I'm in a position where even if I did want to go out and get a job, I'm not willing to risk her health and life by going out in public then coming home to her everyday.

I've tried to make money online but everything I've attempted so far has failed lol. I tried designing some KDP notebooks but it's already too saturated with greedy people who just copypaste stock images, I tried selling adoptables on FA but nobody is really interested because they're sfw and I'm not comfortable drawing fetish art, I've made some gaming videos but I don't know if I'll ever be able to make it to the 1000 sub mark to be able to monetize (though that doesn't really matter, I'm just doing it for fun anyway and I don't want to focus on numbers).

I don't really know where to go from here, I don't want a "real" job or to go back to school. I just want to be able to make a small living sharing my art and passion with the world. Especially now there's something I really want to save up 2500CAD for but I have no idea where to even begin to get the money.

I can't work customer facing jobs either. I actually tried one and thought I'd get over the anxiety but after a while there I was still constantly fucking up and couldn't handle the pressure anymore. Another problem with my anxiety is passing the interview. I was lucky with that job because they were desperate so there were barely any questions, but in the past when I had to do a normal interview with questions I failed miserably and it was incredibly humiliating. Somehow Amazon has zero warehouse slave openings in my area right now but if there was I would go for it because there's no customers and no interview in that job.

I'm not technically neet because I have a part time low interaction job so I can live on my own. But I have zero friends and never socialize, even before covid. Someone randomly made plans with me and she's supposed to come over tonight with some other people. I'm levitating out of my body with anxiety like my heart is beating really heard and my face feels numb. I refuse to believe she's actually coming and it's getting sort of late and I'm going to feel really bad but I'm also scared of these people showing up because no one but me has ever been in my house and I won't be able to escape and go home. So I'm just drowning in two conflicting sources of anxiety because it's going to either be a disappointment or a disaster. I just want it to be over so I can feel normal again even though normal sucks.

Ntayrt but I feel you on the customer-facing jobs thing. I’ve had a variety of customer service-oriented jobs, figuring working in these roles would help me with my social anxiety. Nope. I maybe learned how to be a little more conversational with strangers, but without fail, I still struggle through each interaction, regardless of how long I’ve been doing it. It never seems to get any easier. At this point I’m just ready to accept the fact that I need to avoid any job that has me work with the public.

Anywho, I returned to neetdom at the beginning of October after managing to work consistently for nearly three years. I haven’t been doing a lot of job searching due to terrible job listings and my newly developed fear of dying at work or on the way to work. I’m trying to work on that. I’m using the free time to get back into drawing so that I can feel productive and possibly open up an avenue for income in the future.

Hate to burst your bubble but if you leech of a man he'll resent you and make your life hell. He's going to expect more than a clean house, meal and pussy. He at the very least will want you to pop out kids or do something other than be terminally online. You're going to turn into his emotional punching bag when he has a bad day at work or one of his friends make fun of him for supporting a leech.

Nta but I had this happen. He was so happy to have a gf at first, a clean house when he got home, someone to cuddle and fuck and just hang with. Dude had been single for years before me so I was the thing turning his life around just by being in his house and pulling a bit of my own weight. I was a blessing. I thought he was one too. A perfect pairing, filling in the gaps each one of us needed help with.

Oh how that changed over time. Resentment, being normal one minute and taking every bit of frustration out on me the next. No explanation for the mood swings. No apologies ever. Silent treatment. Shit slid in so slowly it fucked me up and my self esteem was on the floor. I went from being appreciated for just existing in his life to that bullshit. It was a far fall from grace. We always had an agreement on how things would work.. I kept up my part from beginning to end. He just changed his mind over time and thought he'd emotionally punish me rather than get straight with me. He ruined my confidence to a point where leaving was honestly really daunting. The world… facing it alone when he'd slowly convinced me I'm an absolute tard who needs him to function, fun times.

On leaving I went from my lowest point, like should I just rope myself point.. to the weight of the world being lifted off my shoulders. I realised I'd had a knot in my stomach before this, a constant knot. I woke up one morning in my new house with no knot and it hit me how bad I had it before. How blind you can be when your brain is fried from just trying to cope with the loss of control. The fucking relief of waking up alone. He was very purposefully trying to emotionally fuck with and set off muh anxiety because he knew he'd changed the goalposts for what a partner needs to bring to the table and I couldn't be that. I had shakes and developed a facial tic from the mental fuckery. He knew I couldn't suddenly reenter work after a several year gap and a decline in my ability to face people or not shake in peoples presence.

The risks of being a neet. My dad thought I had a blessed life with this guy. From the outside he sure liked for people to assume that.

Hey guys, do you have any idea on how to stay fit as a NEET?

I am waiting for college in September, having finished high school in November (our school system is quirky), and can only get a job post January. For now I will be working (i hope) and getting another qualification, focusing on my instrument for those uni points.

I go to soccer weekly and do bodyweight workouts most days, and walk. Soccer is over until mid January though, and walking is fine, but it’s the same everyday. When you get out of the house, you’re in a busy road. We don’t have gardens, I’m tired of suburb walks, and the middle of town is destitute and unsafe, like half shops are empty and you will get stalked or harassed. I just feel a bit trapped. It was so easy in school because you get a walk by walking to school, you can go to a club, or the gym after school, and you see people every day. And I don’t like just going for walks because men will yell at you from their cars, there are molesters in both parks who went after both women and little boys, and there was a dead body in the pond so it’s ruined for me. It just feels like a bunch of factories, suburbs, and dodgy parks.

I know I’m lucky to have a roof over my head, but I feel trapped in this town. I hope to learn to drive, but mostly, how do I burn off energy and get out when there’s not much to do? Get a manual labour job? Go to zumba at church with old ladies? Should I ask to stay with a relative who lives in a better town? It would be nine months pre university, we get along, and the change would be nice.

Sometimes I seriously think about getting a job because the people I'm with insult and humiliate me often and it's making me suicidal. But then I remember that I had jobs before and I just kept having panic attacks every day. Something about doing the same thing every day for hours without time for anything else sends me into full blown panic attacks (and I also lose appetite/get nauseous) and I don't know how to avoid it. I wish I could just be content with working like anyone else but something's not right and I can't do it. For now I earn money here and there but I can't say it's a job. Any anons with the same experiences?
I've been sick for a long time and became a neet because I was mentally exhausted. I wish I could rest properly but at the same time I don't deserve it, people let me know that and I get even more ashamed. I don't know how to get out of this one.

Also I have fun talking to them and joking with them initially but then they always ask me to send a selfie or webcam chat with them which makes me uncomfortable and basically ruins it when I refuse.

When I had a job I had to wake up at 6 am and get in bed at ~9:30 pm to fall asleep at 10 pm and get 8 hours of sleep. It felt like being in prison having to go to bed to so early and I couldn't even stay up on weekends because I had to maintain the schedule. I've always had problems with my sleeping schedule, for example in high school I was always exhausted and would be late 20 minutes to school everyday. As a NEET I've had so many problems maintaining a consistent sleep schedule too. I believe I have either Delayed Phase Sleep Disorder (natural nocturnal sleeping pattern) or Non 24 Sleep Disorder (constantly shifting sleeping pattern). However for 2 weeks I've now forced myself to maintain a daytime schedule because when I have a noctural schedule my parents start talking about me being disappointment but they leave me alone when it's normal.

When people complain about NEETs one complaint I see a lot is that it's likely leeching off your parents, but I never read/hear of others who are a NEET mainly because of their parent who enjoy their child NEETing. Parents can be codependent too. My dad has a job, but he prefers me being a NEET so I'll stay at home with him and be there when he gets back.

This is something I could never understand. Parents duty is to teach kids basic life skills, that's how mankind existed all these years. Parents taught their children skills so they could survive. Why the fuck parents don't do it anyomre? If you are lucky, you will figure it out by yourself, but if not, you're fucked.

I was in the same situation except my mother wouldn't let me even try to learn about how to do things.

Because of this I always felt so weird and embarassed, because I felt guilty for not being able to do some things, but what am I supposed to do?

What I really needed was intervention or counselling at age 12-13 when I started exhibiting signs of mental illness instead of pacifying me with unlimited internet time and hoping everything will sort itself out. My parents thought sending me to university would fix me and start me on the path to normiedom. It didn't and when I got to 4th year suddenly they started asking why I'm such a failure with no job, no life skills, no friends, can't drive, etc. Now they think what I need is to go to a Master's program and that will fix me, when they should know graduate school is highly stressful and I absolutely couldn't cope with that.

Same. I've always felt like an alien outsider. And everytime I've made progress there's been setbacks. Like a damn rubber band I always bounce back to being a shut in NEET. Maybe it was meant to be. I feel uncomfortable and trapped in any other state.

I can get by just fine on benefits - forever. And I'm not sure how to feel about that. My entire life could pass me by so easily.

AYRT. I dunno about you but I never really felt I had a direction in life anyway, and that every attempt was sort of me coping or trying to larp as a normie. Like you, an alien. Every time I would say I didn't wanna deal with people, normies just talked down on me and reminded me that dealing with people was just part of life. Couldn't handle it.
Now I just pretend to be a cool hermit and learn things on my own time. I'd rather do this than be a 9-5 slave honestly.

It was super easy for me because of the country I live in. Play up the mental health factor, feel no shame about it. I hope you can reach financial security. I had aspirations for a while but when I imagined myself actually doing the whole 9-5 thing I was prepared to literally larp all day every day like an actor. And I realized that's not possible without going insane. My last attempt at working led to this sort of meltdown. Because I had truly realized I can not do it at all and probably never will. My many years long delusion of ''if only I do this and that I can be a normie too'' were completely shattered by reality, it would never happen. Will never be me.

Let's keep doing things on our own time. If you can get on disability, then figure out a way to make everyday life bearable. Still haven't found my recipe for that but working on it. People won't really believe you when you say you don't want to deal with people, they'll always think it's a cope because they can't imagine it themselves. They get enough joy out of it for the negatives to be worth it. I don't and I assume you don't either.

The issue that I'd worry about (and get a back up plan going for) is the same as a alot of straight women who get a partner who allows them to live the neet life.. It's great while you have it and you can only hope it lasts but if an unexpected break up happens tomorrow (or down the line) will you be ok or will you be stranded and struggling? Make sure you have something or someone to fall back on and that they don't become your everything. That's an easy trap to slowly fall into when you're neet.

Break ups blind-side you sometimes. I think realistically everyone should feel like they'd be able to manage ok with or without their partner. Be careful not to fall into agoraphobia or a state of worrying dependence over time. I've been in crisis after an ex seemingly changed overnight and secretly had lined up my replacement essentially. In the long run it was a blessing that got me my independance back and made me face my issues but it was rough going at the time. It took years for me to become that dependant on him and then the guy pulled the rug out from under me in a split second. I was far from my home town, out of touch with family, isolated, no income, no plan, most of all no confidence or belief in myself. Hope for the best but also plan for the worst case too.

Aw you're so lucky. How did you approach online dating while being a NEET? I'm way too embarrassed. Like what did you say when she asked about your occupation? I feel like I don't deserve to date when I don't have anything to offer like a career or education. Like a man would be embarrassed to tell his parents about his NEET gf. I hope things go well for you and your gf.

Mish is a NEET recluse. Most of her vlogs are going shopping, in her apartment or at the gym. It gets a bit repetitive but it's relatable. She was recently diagnosed with autism (although I don't think she is) so I don't see her situation improving.

I see people who get paid by doing nothing - like exchanging emails, doing phone calls and sitting on meetings - not even participating
And making money. Not just money - decent money. And receiving job offers
I don’t understand
I can’t understand
What should I do
I am feeling horribly anxious even browsing job hunter sites
Even when I apply, I receive nothing, which is ok, I am not afraid being rejected a job
But the whole corporate culture, this normie linkedin shit I just can’t bear, I don’t know
I did have various jobs and gigs, but they are so irrelevant, I don’t know if I should put them all in my cv
Just how people are working.

ive been a NEET since high school, i tried college but went in absolutely unprepared with out even buying books before (im retarded i didn't know that was a thing?) and couldn't really afford it and owed 5k still so dropped out within a week (none of my family would co-sign for loans). i have a lot of half siblings but none of them have ever considered helping me with anything cuz they don't like my mother and i think consider me a drug addict because i smoked pot for awhile (i don't smoke anymore and don't even like it i'm just severely mentally ill and needed to check out of my life). i also dealt with some alcoholism problems for awhile in private but quit that on my own also. i live with my disabled mother who's also been one of my main abusers my whole life and also tries to blame me for the abuse i faced at the hands of my (now dead) brother. i tried working one job at a fast food chain working drive thru but i cried every day and although everyone was nice and the work wasnt that bad it was unbearable and i actually fell physically ill and had to quit after about two weeks. i think im an autist but i've tried looking into getting an evaluation with my case manager but she only seems to be able to try and help me get a general psych eval, which i've been trying to get for months now to no avail. i've also had two different case managers over the last 4 years and neither of them have been able to help me get a job, a license, or further myself any way in life. i was diagnosed with BPD at 19 in the psych ward while in the midsts of some of the worst of my substance abuse issues and i just don't feel like i fit the criteria anymore, and the ones i do i feel like could be attributed to my suspected tism. i also fell thru the cracks my whole childhood, they even somehow put me into special ed in elementary school without a diagnosis? idk me and my case manager are trying to get my school records now because im applying to disability. i also have agoraphobic tendencies and only leave the house to go to two different stores near my house or go see my ex boyfriend. i guess i just wanted to vent and ask if theres any other NEETs on here on disability or applying for it? i also just generally don't understand these system type things i don't even know who diagnosed me with BPD i don't understand how they let me go to college with money owed still i just don't really understand anything in life cuz my parents were really bad drug addicts growing up and never had jobs. it also sucks people just telling me repeatedly i should get a job when if it was that easy i would just do it. i've been struggling for years and years and it just feels like no one sympathizes with me when i really can't help the circumstances i was born in. all my sisters escaped poverty by marrying men with rich families. im in the US and one of my sisters moved in with her now husband when she was 15 and he was in his like 50s. they have enough money they could buy me a car or help me in some way, her husband even bought cars for all my siblings, but i guess i just don't matter to them. my mother also has fairly well off siblings but i guess since she's an addict she doesn't deserve help. please nonas wish me luck with this disability thing it really seems like my only chance to keep surviving and not just off myself.

I feel like I'm regressing. I did actually go to the gym today but after that I wanted to throw up I was so stressed about people potentially watching me. I hate social anxiety the way I deal with it is to just leave the place I'm at but I can't always do that. I hung out with some mutuals (not actually friends, just people happen to be in the same place) but hearing about their lives getting better than mine makes me feel lonelier in their company and want to die. I gave a job I'm tired of doing and want to quit. And a degree I'm not using. Sorry I'm technically not a full blown NEET i just need to vent i feel like I'm cracking.

Sometimes I think I want to return to work because the stagnant feeling sucks. But the anxiety is nauseating. All of my experiences in a professional workplace has been abusive as fuck. Why am I surrounded by so many bullies, male and female. What is it about working for a firm or corporate that makes people so fucking soulless and sociopathic. I am unable to mask around coworkers because they are just too different from me, white, conservative, and religious. I can’t pretend to fit in with those people so I just keep to myself and I think that marks me as an outsider and a subject for disdain.

I was slow,couldn't get anything done,didn't know what to do and it was really hard for me to work in general and I had to rely on my coworkers which I feel really bad about.

What did you try? Social security and disability? It takes a long time and a lot of denials before you get it and you usually need a lawyer.
Were you in special ed during grade school? That can count for something too. If you can get it through your insurnace maybe you can get some sort of neuropsych testing done to prove what might be wrong. For developmental disabilities or autism you can get help though Department of Developmental Services in the US.
I feel you though…Unfortunately a lot of doctors are just pill pushers and don't really care about diagnosis. It's a lot of work to put in just to get some goddamn help and not everyone is willing to hear you out but having some semblance of security is really worth it.

I think it was SSI. At the time I was younger like between 23-25 can't remember exactly. I don't have a lot of documentation of my issues because a lot has not been treated and I hated the help that I got and gave up and I take no meds. In like 4th grade I started a special ed class that was like a hour or so but had regular class as well until high school. There were other kids like me who seemed normal but there were also some legit retarded kids depending on my grade/class that year as well. I had to have special help to graduate because I couldn't pass my math tests. Good luck on getting disability anon.

What are your embarrassing NEET moments when facing the general public and how do you usually react or respond? What explanations do you give?
I'm a bit of a sperg so I always feel the need to answer things honestly and I can't hide my emotions when this embarrassment happens. When people try to make small talk with me and ask what I do it's humiliating. Dentists, hairdressers, it's unavoidable. I feel like this kind of nosy invasiveness about life is on-brand for being in burgerland vs other countries but maybe I'm mistaken.
I had a dental assistant who for years would try to fix me with unwarranted advice. Just the usual, how about you do this, what about trying that. I was happy when I lost my dental insurance and never had to see her again kek.
I got grilled by a family acquaintance at some funeral asking what I do for work, and when I answered I don't do anything, she gave the usual boomer reasoning of how everyone has got to do something. Fuck, if only they knew.

I'd always buy a shit ton of yogurt every time I went too on top of looking disheveled and awkward so I always wondered if I earned a reputation with her or her coworkers as being weird yogurt girl.

Because in my experience, people do NOT treat you with the same level of respect as when you seem employed. If I have to go to the doctor's or dentist I wear my old office casual clothes and pretend I'm still a secretary so they treat me like a human being instead of a retarded little girl that failed to launch or a loser burnout. Also I feel more confident when I'm more put together and adult looking as well.

Yeah… as a NEET of 8 years, I didn't bother posting because it seems like most of these girls don't even know what being a NEET is. "I'm a neet but I got to my job everyday" shit was just annoying to read. I get being a wagie is probably exhausting but I hate hearing how you're more functional than me in a thread for losers…

I think my family is getting tired of me but if I talk about trying to get on disability for my (admittedly awful) health, they tell me I'm just lazy. They won't let me get diagnosed with autism or depression or EDS because they say I just want a label to excuse my laziness even though I was an overachiever before having a psychotic break and my health slowly deteriorating almost a decade ago. If they throw me out, I don't know what to do. I can't rely on a man, I'm not attracted to them, even after the conversion therapy attempts.

Oh lord this. When I read of a NEET or someone having Agrophobia or extreme social anxiety, then they go, "Well I work" or "I do social thing".
My brain cannot take it or understand. I'm In my later 20's. I have never had a job and I don't think I could even be capable. My brain feels like it's slowly rottening and I'm aware of every single thing going on. I think everyone see's my every single flaw. That I'm just an ugly monster leaving a cave, even though I speak the same language of those around me, I don't understand it the same way they do.
I know it's weird and wrong to think this way, but it's like, "Damn, I'm proud of you. For being like me but being able to function, I don't feel I can" but at the same time i do have some resentment. I guess it's like misery loves company. If you are in the same shitty place as me, I feel more comfortable discussing it because you understand.

I struggle with this feeling everyday. My family went from being proud of me to sort of just barely tolerating me. I spend a lot of time almost mourning who I used to be. I have a lot of "I wish I could go back" fantasies. But that me is long gone.

>>1191319
I could, but since I live with them I think it could cause tension and I want to avoid that as much as possible. My NEETing is already enough of an issue, you know? Not like I have any money to my name, still have loans to (eventually?) pay off. I have no other place I could go if they get tired of me since I pushed all my old friends away years ago. I think at the end of this year, if they still don't listen to me, I'll just do it secretly and deal with the consequences. I wish they didn't see it as being weak. It's not like I was lazy before any of this, so I don't get it. Thanks for that suggestion, nonnie.

I could have written this myself. I'm sorry you're dealing with the same feelings. It just feels nice to know someone can relate when I feel so unnaturally fearful of the world compared to most people. I know it's not healthy but other than disability, I don't know any baby steps to get out of this. I feel like I'm too far gone into hermit mode to even try graduating from NEETdom, so I'm just coasting through life.

Thanks for the replies. It feels nice to be able to express myself to people who understand.

I hate trying to explain why I'm a NEET to normies. I get the usual "Well you have to realize that you have to deal with people your whole life and it's unavoidable" patronizing comments. Like no fucking shit, I'm not retarded. It's just harder for more and I will do everything I can to avoid it.

I have had jobs before but I barely functioned and didn't last. The only one I liked was mostly independent. When I dealt with too many people I shut down. My coworkers would get on my case for it, or if I'd try to interview for jobs and express I prefer working independently, I'd get the same speech. I think people like to perpetuate this idea of resilience that applies to everyone, but some people just don't have it. Like the whole 'bullying builds character' bullshit.

The ppl who go on about resilience usually are well off and never had any real problems. It's just a different flavor of the pull yourself by the bootstraps.

Streaming has not been a "real" job for me and I don't earn enough with it to make a living. I used to work and study but it all came crashing down when I had a panic attack and broke up with my ex.

I want to have my life together. Do my skincare, wake up at a decent hour, go out, work, travel, get new tattoos, go to the hairdresser etc etc. At least I talk to alot of people in vocal or texts but ye.

I don't consider people on disability to be true NEETs unless they completely scammed their way into being on welfare, if someone is genuinely too disabled to work that's fair.

But ignoring that, your mother lets you live there, right? Is that not a form of parental support? Obviously not every NEET has a well off family but it's significantly more likely that they do just by virtue of their circumstances. Less privileged people wouldn't be able to afford it at all, their parents wouldn't be able to afford it, they wouldn't tolerate the presence of a non contributing adult just because they have anxiety or whatever. Anon was acting like NEETs become that way because they don't have middle class, loving parents but it's obvious many if not most do and they must or they couldn't be NEETs at all.

Some NEETs are simply roommates to their family or caretakers for their parents. It's not always a situation of privileged influencer type girl who never needed to work a day in her life, or overly coddled freeloader with a rich family.

i cant be bothered to work my incredibly low-effort, not even part-time job, i dont want to do any amount of hard schoolwork, and ive dropped or removed all of my friends. about 8 months ago i sperged out at the friends because they were all shitty normie women and i didnt want to play the social game and dont have it in me to pretend to like a faggot fucking caricature of a woman. why do they all do that?
this is the first summer i havent had to do anything related to school or work and i cant imagine wanting to do anything after i graduate in a semester or two. ive purposely delayed it in fact so that i can avoid graduating. but im scared my moms going to blow up on me (as she has done previously for a mental health crisis)
i need to figure out how to secure a neet life before i go nuclear about it all

how do i get out of neetdom if i dont have a baccalaureate degree ? not sure what the equivalent is in america, but its the diploma you get once you finish highschool/senior year. and there is no GED in my country. am i doomed ? realistically i know i am not since i know plenty illiterate middle aged people working jobs and such but i dont know if they just hire them out of pity or through connections, i know 0 people. i feel so ashamed of myself but i need to pay back my parents, they havent asked for it but i feel terribly guilty and it will keep eating away at me if i dont

I used to be desperate to get a job and become a normie but now after years this is the only way of life I can tolerate. I wonder if there is a time limit on how long you have to escape NEETdom.

Where I am there is Adult high school/secondary school at which people can finish their education as an adult and get their diploma. Maybe there's something like that in your country and you can do that? Alternatively ask for advice from a social worker? They could probably help you get in contact with the right organizations to finish your education or get a job. I also wouldn't worry too much on your parents if they haven't actually asked you to pay them back, they'd probably much rather see you get on your feet.

I feel guilty about not feeling guilty about my NEETdom. Is that weird? It feels like I've been working my entire life (eldest daughter's curse) and after leaving my high-stress job a few months ago, I don't want to return. I have a small part-time job that brings in a few hundred dollars a month for my small bills and little items and I'm supported by my wife who just wants me to be happy either way. I don't even miss the social aspects, it's very nice to stay home and work out and read and draw and write and take care of my pets. The house stays cleaner and I have more time to bake as well.

Maybe I should be striving for more, like going to college or getting certifications/taking classes in my field. I know I should want to go out and make something of myself. But I love my inner world and my hobbies, I love going for a long walk whenever I feel like it, even if it's a weird time of day. Maybe there's something wrong with me for not caring if I have a social life, but damn. This is so peaceful.

Après ça si tu veux faire des études essaie de voir s'il y a possibilité de trouver des alternances ou de faire un BTS ou DUT qui te force à faire des stages, comme ça si tu trouves une alternance ou un stage ça te fera un énorme plus sur ton CV. Idem si tu peux faire un job étudiant en parallèle des études. Même si c'est pas des trucs oufs tu pourrais faire genre t'as obtenu des compétences transverses et des soft skills qui te serviront toute ta carrière. Bon courage.

Not technically a NEET, but…I got fired last year and I'm REALLY enjoying being unemployed.

I have a degree in Dramatic Arts (lol), and the only non-performing jobs I've had are in customer service, which I learned I absolutely fucking hate.
Whenever I see people talk about going to work, it sounds so bleak and I remember how much I hated it and I just double down into my comfy relaxation. I probably can't even get a job that's not minimum wage customer service anyway, so what's the point?

My boyfriend is paying for my rent and food and everything I need, and honestly it fucking rules. This is what I've always dreamed of. I can just chill, exercise, shitpost and make delicious healthy food all day and I never want to fucking work again.

I know I'm going to need income sooner or later but the longer this goes on, the less I want to actually rejoin the workforce. I just want to live like a housecat forever.

It depends where you live. Cost of living and also likelihood of getting on disability or just not being bothered while long-term unemployed. I'm on disability but where I live it's definitely not enough to live on without family support. The cheapest rent possible for a room in a disgusting shared house full of students is more than the entire payment. Then on top of that you have bills and living expenses. And we have a comfy as fuck welfare system, just rent is extremely high.

I definitely quit a couple classes because too much interaction was expected of us. I'd also see a school therapist frequently when I was feeling like shit + was going to therapy outside of school.
So basically I just threw myself into it and did it. Also a lot smoking and alcohol eventually. I'm trying to do the same now but I just have no motivation anymore. I feel like I've failed already and graduating this late is just embarrassing so why even bother.

I thought about posting this in the recovering NEET thread but it didn't quite match. I've been NEET for a good few years, (19-26 currently), my only "job" being to focus on MH recovery. I'm at a point now where I'm doing okay, stable, but NEET and v comfortable with that. I recently got the opportunity to volunteer in MH, which I feel will be a step in the right direction but theres this inescapable feeling that the only reason i'm doing "well" is bc of my NEETdom. Being alone and becoming my own bestie, eating when i want, doing what i want, sleeping when i want. I'm so adverse to structure and routine i'm worried that i'll fuck it up again as soon as i make commitments, but im not sure if im being defeatist/self sabotaging the opportunity before its even started. Like, I really like being NEET most of the time, but i feel it must come to an end, especially feeling the pressure as I fast approach my 30s. I guess i'm worried that all my progress on my MH will unravel when I'm forced to confront the "real world" more, not that i'm completely estranged to that, I just am so comfortable being alone. Restaurants alone, trips alone, gigs alone, cinema alone, shopping alone, everything. Guess this is more of a vent than anything. I'm going to pursue this volunteer opportunity none the less, test the waters so to speak but i'm just so damn comfortable in NEETdom and aloneness (not loneliness).

neet here and i used to have friends but they literally told me that "if you don't have a job by next year it's like not gonna work" (referring to our friendship) this was like 5 years ago. i just remember being truly deeply soulshocked that it mattered that much to anyone else. i dont have any friends anymore

What kind of mental health issues, if you want to share? I've been a NEET for 10 years (16-26). For me it's social anxiety that I've tried everything to recover from, but I guess this is just my personality. When I stop trying to recover I sleep well, work out, eat healthy and feel somewhat content with my quiet little life. When I've tried working or volunteering it all goes to hell. Binge eating to cope, bad sleep, wanting to die, not exercising, wasting money, apartment becomes a hoarder tier mess and so on. I had a full on mental breakdown the last time I tried to recover. I think we're in somewhat similar situations, as soon as there's a regular normie type routine that has to be followed I just unravel after a short while.

How often are you going to volunteer? Please don't do too much at once. It sucks that you worry your mental health progress might be lost, I hate that "good mental health" is often considered being as functional of a normie as possible.

The same is happening to me. My friends all got jobs and I could tell they didn't want to talk to me anymore because I didn't have one. It's so weird how normies are so obsessed with jobs, even on an emotional level. I get that some people NEED to work, but I used to work too and honestly I couldn't care less if someone I knew didn't work. I also didn't think about it 24/7 and didn't think my "value" depended on my job. I didn't really feel superior to anyone.

I lost my job about a month ago, had a bad depressive episode and had to move back to my home town. My mom called me when it was all going down and I had a breakdown and sort of revealed that I'm suicidal. She got so scared and told the whole family. My dad was particularly scared. I spoke to him later and asked him if he would support me if I just decided to be useless (I meant neet but he doesn't know that term) for the rest of my life, and he said yes. I kind of want to neet out forever until he and my mom die, then I'll just slide the sewer. The only problem is socializing. I've been in this state for a month, just playing vidya and surfing the web. It's really starting to hit me how lonely I am. I don't know how to make friends outside of work though. I also just want to be around people for a bit, like maybe go to a bar and get drunk and just be around other human beings even if they ignore me. I don't think financially this situation would be viable though. My dad makes good money but he's not rich. My mom is retired and is traveling a lot after decades of wage slavery, and she deserves to treat herself and not have to support her 30yo daughter. Idk man. Sorry for the wall of text.

We're in a pretty similar situation, left my job a month ago, bad depressive episode, spend my time playing replaying Mass Effect to forget i exist. I live alone and i have no family, though. This month i took my savings to live, next month i won't have enough to pay for rent.

I feel so lonely, too. Haven't spoken to another human in 2 weeks, and last time was a doctor. But to me it's a good thing because it'll finally push me to suicide, next month i will literally have nothing to live for, can't even be a NEET in peace because i have no support system.

I’m a 28 year old neet and haven’t worked since I was like 20. I’ve never even applied for a real job, I was a musician and have only had jobs you audition for. I developed severe neuropathy in my hands and arms and had to leave my degree program (should’ve graduated in 2016), moved back to my parents’ house and have hardly left. Parents got had a horrible divorce and now I’m the only one ever here so I’m alone almost all the time. I don’t feel entitled to even apply for disability because I’m sure there’s SOMETHING I could do but I’m so ashamed of my existence that I avoid everything. I’m bad at leaving the house and getting dressed because I’m very ugly.

I want to start an online course for something that will guarantee me online work. Maybe medical billing and coding? I never learned to touch type and have limited feeling in my hands but (obviously) I can type.

Sorry for long-winded sperg but I'm freaking out. I'm going through a state job finding program for the disabled but the prospect of getting a job terrifies me and I keep avoiding emails. I always struggled with employment. Most of my jobs in my life have been connection related, I only got one naturally. Since I haven't worked in a few years now I'm too scared to get back to it. My social skills are worse. I go into full panic mode when anything involving jobs comes up. I hate the potential rejection, how I fuck up interviews so badly, how I have more barriers now. Being reminded I'm not good enough destroys my self esteem and makes me want to hide from the pain. Also the last time I took a career aptitude test it basically told me I was a retard who was better off being a cashier…because I failed to prove I was good at any job that involved minimal human interaction, and my verbal skills put me in categories with people-facing jobs.
The irony is I'm probably more qualified for certain jobs than a lot of tech illiterates that are somehow in the work force, but I feel like I'd still be unable to prove that because of the asinine requirements of every fucking job listing needing like 40+ years experience and 5 bachelor's degrees and whatever else just to use a fucking computer. It's never been that I'm too lazy to work, it's just the fear of everything that comes along with it that makes me shut down. I feel so useless.

I miss being a NEET. I'm going to college now and like my degree, like my classmates so I shouldn't complain but the commute time (3+ hours every day, can't get housing), all the work, having to wake up at 5 in the morning sometimes to just be on time and trying to maintain a social life is too much. I know I'll kms sometime in the next 10 years anyway, I don't know why I'm trying. I just want to be 50, have my own apartment and have a normal work-from-home job but that will never happen if I don't finish my degree. Last winter the energy prices were normal so I could turn on my heater all day, go for walks on th weekdays and spend my leftover salary from my job before on the weekends (ofc I threw most of it in savings but kept about 500 in my paying account). I was living the dream and now I'm drowning in homework and can barely find the time to relax and do something for myself. I don't want to fail at this but I don't think I have it in me. I can do my best now but winter depression is coming soon and I won't get out of bed for weeks let alone go to school, I was hopeful but realistically I'll drop out within the next year and I'll have wasted my parents' money they worked for to get me a good life. I have to keep on living, I don't want them to have worked so hard for nothing but I would rather not have to deal with life.

I recovered from NEETdom and had a stable job making good money as programmer for a lot of years but COVID really fucked me over mental health wise. I think working from home and being in the house all the time was just terrible for me and progressed my alcoholism. Started drinking to cope with work stress in the middle of the day etc. Eventually anxiety and stress levels got so bad I just quit my job. Now I haven't worked in 6 months. I applied for a lot of low wage, entry level office jobs but none of them got back to me. It's ironic because the work that stressed me out to begin with (developer shit) always gets me interviews and replies. I got a job offer from a big bank but I freaked when they mentioned the workload and didn't reply to them. I just don't want to subject myself to those high levels of stress again…I can't take another boss yelling at me and making me feel like a retard.

Been playing online games, met a nice moid by running a guild together in an MMO. He wants to support my NEET lifestyle(is sending me money and everything) and wants me to just uproot my life and move to him and live with him in his country and just run the guild full-time. I feel like I'm betraying all my principles by letting a man have complete financial control over me but mental health wise I don't think I'm ready for work again yet. Hopefully I don't get too comfortable and spoiled by him, I hope I can be independent and work again someday. Maybe I'll start things off small with a few hours here and there and part-time jobs.

//blog and maybe this is better for the recovering NEET thread but this is the 2nd time I've relapsed into being a NEET. I just don't know why keeping a full-time job without having a complete mental health collapse is so hard for me. Working 40 hours a week for someone I don't like doing something I don't enjoy makes me feel like a dog and a slave. At least this thread makes me feel not so alone in the end.

Anon you're fucking yourself over. Seriously, don't fall for this shit. He's trying to trap, isolate and control you. Gamer moids are all mentally ill and they will abuse women in vulnerable positions. I wish you the best nonnie, try to get away from him if you can because letting a moid control you this way is dangerous.

This seriously proove how bad his life objectives are, this is not someone that you can trust. A good moid would want you to progress in your life and career, not isolate so you can play mmo with him. He knows that you are stressed and in a difficult situation right now and you can be more easely manipulated but don't fall into the trap.
>I feel like I'm betraying all my principles by letting a man have complete financial control
Stick to your instinct nonnie, he wants you to be dependant. Run while you can and don't feel pity if he was retarded enough to give you money kek that's his problem not yours. You deserve an unstressful job in a good career path, not to live subservient of game addict moid.

Could be the way you act. A lot of management positions look at assertiveness and confidence over what you say. You mentioned you love selling the product, can you give an example with actual numbers? Like 'I sold x amount of product in 1 hour/day/week' or 'I love the product and this helped me boost sales by x %'. You can embellish examples from your previous jobs, too much honesty is not going to get you hired.

Currently NEETing right now and my parents really want me to get a job but I am so terrified of the field I have qualifications in (cosmetology) because autism makes it so difficult and exhausting for me to make small talk and form relationships with clients. I wish I could just stay at home all day and do nothing and get paid for it which I know is stupid but honestly the only reason I would ever get a job is for money and to get my parents off my back.

Also >>1352558 everything about this is a bad sign. He wants to escalate in this very autistic, 0 to 100 way. It's an ironic sign that he never actually putting that much thought into it and has a robotic schema of how it will unfold, so he'll end up repeatedly mistreating you because he just wanted to own you, not really be partners with you.

The fact you two met in a MMO is already a dumpster fire and he seems like he might be incel adjacent in one way or another too. How does he react if you indicate doubt about the whole thing? And if you want to ignore us, then at least consider meeting up with him a few times…how does he react if you ask him to come see you in your country? Oh, also, the red tape and shit involving moving overseas is nuts - so lots of additional work - so it's weird that you think you can do that, and magically recover in a foreign country when you will struggle with recovering because you would feel less confident going outside, won't find anything familiar, will struggle with finding resources, etc. How could you even think this is a good situation for you to heal? Especially not considering it's very likely he'll lord over you that he's financing your survival and likely get you to do things that you don't really want to do. Also can you tell us what country you live in–and where he is at? I assume where you live has better opportunities for you, but I might be wrong.

I go back and forth on weather or not I like being a neet. I feel nothing and completely apathetic (I blame being put on antidepressants at like 12 and still being on them for my brain being fried at this point) so finding something I like doing has been hard.

I do a little art when I have the energy, which I have very little of, nothing substantial but I make enough to treat myself once in a blue moon.

>How do you get mental health help when you have no money and no insurance?
Well… I just don't. If I do have some money and I feel especially bad, I can use older prescription and buy antidepressants or even go to my psychiatrist. Right now I have very little money and actually have to say goodbye to the neetdom which is not that easy kek. I guess I also got worse recently and ruined my sleep schedule + don't walk very often. This definitely doesn't help. But sleeping (properly), walking, exercising usually do help me I think, so I'll try to get back to all of that. I also always intend to read those self-help books based on CBT approach but I would only read a few pages and then forget about it hehe.
Couple of days ago I applied for a free psychological help but it's only for one time. Just to talk with someone online. They say on their site it's based on CBT methods too. No one has reached out to me yet. I don't expect much but am not too skeptical either, surprisingly. I guess I just want to let it all out but I don't want to bother my friends, and I hope to get some good pieces of advice. Have any of you tried something like that, nonnas? I don't know if something like that is available in other countries though and don't remember how it was before the war, some services just got free for the time being I guess. Pretty sure there's always been free psychological help but I'm kind of suspicious about that one. Having one talk with someone who's volunteering seems more legit then actually going somewhere, to some institution… for some reason. Maybe I'm wrong about it. Plus I feel like it's more for addicts or people who attempted suicide etc. so I'd feel stupid going there.

He is disgusted by pornography and I’m the only woman he’s ever slept with. He’s attractive and has a big dick but he’s somewhat of a misanthrope and possibly on the spectrum. We’ve been best friends for half our lives and he would stay with me even if I turned into a worm.

Better not to get married cause I can get better health insurance from Uncle Sam than what his work offers. If it made sense financially we’d be married, he’s not against it. I’m fuckin insane and I consider myself really lucky to be able to take my NEET naps all day.

I understand the cynicism and women overall should approach “too good to be true” moids with utmost caution. That being said, if you’re a woman with solid intuition, certain personality traits and a bit of good luck, it is possible to attract that type of men. Some men are simply the “caretaker” type, they truly do internalize their role as protector and provider without other baggage about gender roles. It just feels right and natural for them. Even though they are not born Nigels, quite a few men can be taught to follow you, to assimilate to your philosophy, especially when you know you are his dream woman.

40-50% of all marriages end up in divorce, it's not like it's some rare occurrence that you don't have to worry about until it happens. If you end up in the group that gets divorced and you don't have a job or any finances lined up, then what are you going to do? just die in the gutter? There are many cases of stay at home wifes getting divorced after 20 years with an equally long gap in their resume, what are they going to do having no skills of trade or the looks and appeal of a 20-year old?

NTA but only handmaidens get treated like this, most het women are. But put that aside for now.
Interesting the way you’re implying that by simply getting a part time job, women would no longer be at risk of abuse. Do you really think a part time job, nay, a full time job, is remotely bulletproof against a nasty fallout? Unless, the woman is very comfortable on her own with solid support system, most separations are financially disastrous for working class women who AREN’T NEETs. Sure sounds like you’re mainly angry about women being leech than about female NEET as some sort of attack on feminism.
Another question: if you are insinuating that men are incapable of loving and taking care of their partners in any altruistic fashion, then shouldn’t you argue for women abandoning heterosexual relationships altogether? Because clearly, men do not treat women better based on whether or not they have saving accounts and job prospects.

I'm not technically a neet, but might as well be. I failed school due to learning disabilities, now I work at Appen which is very simple work like filling in surveys, but you don't get a contract or job security at all so I could just wake up tomorrow with no income at all. I love this job but it pays so little I can't even afford to move out of my parents house at mid/late 20s.. Don't even know how to cook or clean because parents didn't teach me and because of my learning disabilities and they don't exactly give me the chance to learn either. Also live in a crappy area with no supermarket or anything and barely a bus and I can't drive so I hardly go outside. I want to do some kind of remote job due to my shitty empty area etc but all simple jobs like data entry are going away, and I can't do customer service due to multiple severe anxiety disorders and speech impediments and other crap.

I've been stuck in an abusive situation with a scrote before for this reason. I was dependant on him but it all seemed so rosy in the beginning that I didn't see the danger in it. I thought it was safe move. We had 2 great years before this so I thought I knew him well enough. When it comes to men and dating.. what seems like the best thing to ever happen to you can end up feeling like the worst thing to ever happen to you. Thats a harsh reality that gets harsher if you add any serious level of dependance to the mix.

My dad moved away during that time (thinking all his kids were out of the home and thriving anyway) Then things went south between me and this guy, very south. I was far from any family and stuck with this guy who had started to resent everything about me. All those things he loved earlier, he now hated. He didn't break up with me but obviously hated me and treated me like shit. I was like.. ok time to make a plan because I can't live like this. But my confidence was at a record low and I fell apart not having a clue what to do next. I hadn't made a back up plan in advance. I didn't have great prospects to be able to pick myself up after years of depression and isolation. My mental health had gone from poor to being in crisis. I could barely talk to people or look them in the eyes while this guy wore me down more every day that I stayed. With my dad now retired and living in the middle of fucking nowhere I felt too ashamed to admit I needed help and too afraid to go live in this rando place he'd retired to hours away. I didn't want to face him. I ended up at an emergency appointment to get something to take the edge off how doomed I felt. I stared at the floor the entire time and my bf probably looked like he was holding me hostage. I'm surprised they didn't investigate him for abuse. I know how it must have looked. Me staring at the floor, him speaking on my behalf. It was a low point I'll never forget. We had started out amazing. Been good for years. Now that

Neetdom while living with parents is one thing but it is risky with scrotes. Especially if you grow distant from family or if you move to be with the guy. Its a gamble. I think being pretty cautious about 'scrote dependant neetdom' is fair.

I'm in a bit of a similar boat. My parents are taking care of me right now while I try to find a job. I have debilitating anxiety and depression IDK what to do. All this to say is your not alone. I keep applying for jobs, some online and some in person. Part of me wants to self-sabotage my interviews and the other part of me knows I'm a fucking moron. At least if I get an online job, I won't have to commute, but if I do get an online job, I know I'll never leave my room. Maybe it's fine.

Let your parents take care of you and just inherit their house when they die. You don’t owe your parents anything, meanwhile they owe you everything for deciding to give birth to you.

Thanks for the replies, nonnies! I feel a bit guilty bringing attention to it but I appreciate your thoughts a lot.

>At least if I get an online job, I won't have to commute, but if I do get an online job, I know I'll never leave my room. Maybe it's fine.

I feel you on the self sabotage. I would say maybe start with a job that stresses you the least so you have a lower chance of self sabotage. If having a motivator to go outside would help your mental health, try for a job like that. If going out would be a little too much to handle while getting used to working, maybe a remote job would be better for now until you become more confident. I was trying to go for the latter before trying to motivate myself to go outside.

>You owe nobody anything in this life unless you decide to procreate, nonnas.

Thanks. I know you're right but I at least don't want them to pass away wondering if I can survive after they go.

I figured finding other lesbians would be difficult to come by when you try, much less when you're a NEET. My chance of finding a wealthy gf who will take care of me and let me live as a housewife, cooking food and decorating and sewing/knitting is a pipedream.

So, I'm not a lawyer (kinda obvious I guess), but if your parents are in debt when they die, the bank and debt collector will try and recoup there losses by collecting the property first. There are also inheritance taxes (which take a lot of the inheritance often), and it depends where you live how everything shakes out. It can also depend on if your parents have any siblings, any other children, things line that. Basically, losing a parent is a legal nightmare. Even with a will, it's not as simple as 'just get handed property', unfortunately. Having life insurance, a will and a lawyer helps a lot, but not a lot of people prepare all that in advance. It's difficult.

I'm a neet and sometimes I think back on my non-neet days when I was still in school and going outside and I feel nostalgic. But then I realize that my memories are kinda distorted and I just feel nostalgic because it's the only thing I knew and I'm lonely. I was bullied so hard in school for no reason and it all led to me being severely mentally ill. I tried working but I was just too weird comparing to normal people and it felt like hell (I also had trouble with dissociating and maladaptive daydreaming). So yeah, staying in my cozy bed isn't bad at all. It's a bit of a boring life but it's definitely better than being treated like shit by other people.

I'm becoming more and more of a hikki. I sperged out at some guy today for almost bumping into me at the store, I had to wrench my body to the side to avoid him hitting me. I'm like EXCUSE you and he said sorry in a pissy way so I yelled bitch at him. I have 0 patience for strangers and their foibles. When I get back to my house it takes me so long to calm down and I find myself not doing things I used to do so I can avoid people because inevitably somebody pisses me off. I can sort of trick myself for short periods of time but for example I went to an art museum last weekend and basically had a meltdown halfway through because people kept crawling up my ass

lol you don't pay inheritance tax in most countries unless your parents are leaving you tens of millions of dollars and the only way that leaves you with nothing is if they had tens of millions of dollars in debts
The only American millennials who will inherit anything from their parents are ones whose parents die suddenly at a relatively young age in a good financial situation. Our parents' money will all be spent on healthcare before they die if they live long enough. This is all by design.

Idk if I am a NEET or not. Learned the term recently. Basically I have stupid nuerological issues that make it very difficult to work full time. Went into sex industry at one point because my issues dont qualify me for govt assistance, and for them to I would have to be jobless and by extention homeless for 2 years to prove I cannot work. But I was too proud to apply anyway. Fast forward now I have been with my Nigel for 3 years. He got a decent job and asked me to stay home. So I did.. and my health improved quite a bit since I could take care of myself. But I contribute almost nothing financially. His health insurance is actually pretty good and I was able to get life changing medication. I think I could go back to work now. But I have been out of it for so long and it feels so hopeless to go for slave wages. I recently started selling some of my handmade things, it is not much but it is something I guess. But my Nigel pays for everything. I bounce back and forth between hating myself for relying soley on him and telling myself it is okay because I genuinely have real issues and the other work I do (budget, grocery, cooking, cleaning etc) does have value despite society not recognizing it. Also I have grown to love my time at home pursuing whatever I want to do that day. Still hurts to think about how becoming a stay at home whatever (no kids) was the last thing in the world I would ever want to do and yet here I am. He makes enough money for us to get by but not enough that I can really spend much so no school etc and my truck is old and beaten down so any jobs I would take there is a weird balance in distance travelled (gas, wear and tear), my physical driving limitations, and the realistic amount of money I could bring in. It is better for now that I do not do that…I feel pretty trapped honestly but he is great and I love my free time…we both need new clothes and shoes and other stuff and I think about how if I could earn just something I could pay for that for us but the situation is weird so that isn't realistic right now. Maybe if my craft stuff takes off I can get some new non stained sweats for me and non stinky shoes for him lol. I feel guilty being a millenial in this shit and being 99% mooch. Real guilty. When people ask what I do for work I hesitate because of shame. Not sure if it is what you wanted but I feel like I am almost sorta involuntarily approaching NEET but maybe not quite there yet. I try pretty hard to make myself valuable at home. Feels weird.

I honestly wish I knew the secret of people coping with it.
My health have always been terrible, i spent my whole life going to doctors or being in hospitals. I was even born dead but rescued by doctors and plasma donation. I was always a sheltered kid as we didn't live in a good area and I would often get sick, my immune system is extremely weak, on top of that my organs and my body being weak in general too. I have experienced a lot of stress over the past few years while I was studying the local language to a country to which I moved, but this year my nervous system completely broke me and now I have an untreatable chronical disease and my organs are messing me up everyday. It's funny how i always wanted a job, to work with elderly or children because i spent all of my time raising siblings and taking care of my elderly, just to end up being the weakest person i've ever known. I can't find a job because of that, and also with me being an immigrant (which people here don't really like, but i also understand, the economy here keeps shattering). I really want to have at least online job, but all i do is stream videogames for a bunch of people out of pure loneliness and lack of interactions irl (other than my partner and his family). I can't go outside for too long due to my illness, and on top of that i always have to protect myself from the sunlight, otherwise i start wanting to puke and pass out (my head is damaged after the accident). So i am always stuck in there 4 walls. At least i am not crazy enough to not clean, but damn do i feel lonely. I don't know how people can deal with any of it. Makes me think i should somehow manage to open art commissions to save up for vr, so i could pretend i have IRL friends and can go outside. I am so tired, nonny.

Nayrt but I feel you that sounds maddening. At the risk of giving unwanted advice have you heard of an app called 'be my eyes'? Basically you sign up and blind people or elderly people who need help identifying something (is the sweater on the right blue or red) do a little facetime call and you answer, (the one in your right hand is blue) and they say "thanks!" And thats that. Just helping with teeny little tasks that visually impaired people struggle with. Lots of elderly. Another app called 'slowly' where you can befriend a pen pal, actual hand written letters. There are several little apps like the be my eyes thing. All volunteer, but if you wanted to help the elderly or disabled that is one low effort at home way to do so. Good luck nonna!

I've been trying to be less of a neet but after seeing a barrage of women that basically act the slightest bit awkward and get publicly hated, outcasted, etc, I'm starting to realize that I might just kms after my freelancing gig dries up. I don't want to live in the real world. I have a social and speech disability that 10 years of speech therapy in school didn't help and it has gotten much worse with age (I can barely pronounce most things anymore or form sentences aloud), health conditions that make me feel horrible, I am repulsively ugly, and I pretty much act like a brick wall, 0 emotion, because of years of being told that my laugh and smiles look terrifying or like a hag's. I don't want to make excuses but holy fuck, what is even OUT there for someone like me that can't even talk even though she's a grown ass adult?

Necroing this thread so I can post my psycho rant. I just got a job offer but I told the guy I needed sometime to think about it. I have a funeral tomorrow (this is true). and I have a lot to think about.
However, the real truth is I don't want this job. I don't want this job so badly I think I'd rather get hit by a bus. I've been crying about it all evening and I just don't know what the fuck is wrong with me. Why can't I have motivation like other people? Why can't I be happy like other people would? I'm mooching off my parents and my mom is honestly so nice to me but yet I feel like a pathetic freak.
The real matter is I think I never got over my shitty trauma. Why did I never get over my shitty CSA trauma? Now every time I go out and have to be near men I panic. This is not a joke. I legit want to throw up being near men. And yet if I accept this job all I'll be is near men. There were no women at this job. I wish I was kidding. I know I'm being dramatic right now but there's no fucking way. I can't explain it to anyone. Not my parents, no friends or anthing to talk to. How can I tell tehm that I'm almost assuredly going to burn a good job interview because the men I met at the job site creeped me out? I literally threw up earlier today, thinking about it. I know not all men are child sex abusers, and I know this just looks like psychotic ramblings to like most of the population, but I can't explain it. I tried to tell my parents about me getting abused but they wouldn't listen about it. I never got therapy or meds for it and I think I need either or REAL bad. Like I know meds can't solve trauma but I can't even fucking go outside without my mommy. I'm a 25 year old woman and I'm fucking petrified of leaving the house, let alone working with men that give me the exact same fucking feeling as the fucking pedo that fucked me up. What am I supposed to do? I'm not really suicidal or anything but I can't live like this either. I just don't know. I know I'm spoiled rotten ass bitch who just needs to shut the fuck up and take this job but I can't even leave my room without throwing up. I'm serious. What the hell's wrong with me? No one gets it and I can't tell anyone about it. Like, imagine if you just trauma dumped all this cringe shit on somebody? I mean, sure I'll type it all out on the internet, but IRL? How could I explain this shit? It's not even that I'm unwilling to work, I just feel like I can't function. I can't even eat or bathe myself right. Why couldn't I be normal? Why did life have to be this way for me? I know I have a victim mindset but no one knows what it likes getting fucked up as a child. I've never recovered and I've never gotten over it. I'll never be over it and it's ruining my life.

How many NEETs here are full blown hikis? I made that personal distinction for myself, between people who just don’t work/school and those who don’t go outdoors at all. I think I went outside under a dozen times since 2020. Anyone got any tips on staying physically active? Because I’m really struggling to. Sometimes I don’t leave my room and just lie in bed for up to 48 hours, I’m getting so weak that for the first time in my adult life I’m losing adult strength and struggling to hold slightly thick mugs and books like a kid.

Like other nonnies have mentioned, I have the cheapest exercise bike I could find. I try to use it for a few hours a day. I use it when I watch something on tv, play video games, scroll my phone, and even at the computer sometimes. I can fold it, it's light, and has wheels so it's easy to move from place to place as needed and to put away. I really recommend it. I definitely don't do "real" exercise on it, I cycle pretty slow and am usually distracted by something, but I think it helps with the hikki lifestyle. I feel I also get some benefits to my core from not having a backrest while I'm sitting on it. And if you wanted you could push yourself and do real workouts on it too I'm sure. I still need to get a proper exercise routine and I'm still unfit but I think this has stopped me really fucking up my health.

No, I'm a eurofag. But I had a look and it's very similar in specs to those and it cost similar. It looks almost identical to "Pleny folding exercise bike 3-in-1". I normally am the type who is happier to pay a bit more for better build quality so I can't believe this has lasted me so long, at very minimum an hour a day for 3 years (and have gone through times of 5+ hours a day kek). I was only planning to use it until it broke and then get something better if I was finding it useful. I will say that the little computer that tracks everything is completely worthless, it resets itself around every 5 minutes that I'm cycling (like every time I shift my weight on the bike) and I lose all my stats but I don't really care about that. The bike itself works perfectly. Maybe I just got lucky, but at those prices if you got a year warranty it would be worth a shot. I bought from a local place so I could easily return it, if that is an option for you.

She's going to choose it, because she's a control freak and her tendencies are what's making me mentally ill in the first place, but anyway… she says she doesn't want me to work in a local factory (even if that's the only place that can hire me) because that's a shit job, in her SAHM's eyes the superior job for me is being a cashier, because "they don't do anything all day" she says. Honestly I'd like the factory job better, I don't think I'll be able to handle talking to people and using the cash register (I'm a retard when it comes to that).
I know I'll have to accept it and I try to not think about it. Still sometimes I do think about it and it makes me panic. I have huge issues with dealing with the loss of control and my mother choosing even my job now (after she chose my entire life) makes me go insane.

I've done factory work though and it sucks, especially if it's physically demanding factory work. Only students and paper-less immigrants do it. I'd choose a cashier job over it. It's boring routine work once you get used to it but at least you get to sit down and talk to people a little. If you're forced to spend time at work you may as well try to get some social skills out of it if you ask me, might serve you later. Although the one upside to factory work is being allowed to listen to music or whatever on your own device.

NTA but can't you say you got the shit factory job because you're an inferior shit person and the cashier position is beyond your reach? I've gotten batshit narc family members off my back that way. And I agree with the other anons, factory work is hard, doing the same thing all day takes a huge toll on you mentally and physically.
More importantly do you know what will happen to your money? Is she going to spend it on your behalf, will you be able to put some away, can you open another account that she doesn't know about?

Any social NEETs here? I feel like people who don't have work or school are usually stereotyped as sad losers but honestly having so much time and being able to hang out any time is so nice. I've just been having fun for the past year, I see my friends almost every day, do my own thing when they can't and it's the best. Maybe I'm just trash but I can get used to this life kek.

I wouldn’t, if you can tough it out. I’m a former NEET and the most charitable thing I ever did for myself was get my degree. It was almost impossible and I had to take a year off before my senior year and senior year took so much out of me that I did fuck all for like 3 years after. But when I was done NEETing I was able to get a really great paying career that I actually love. If you don’t look at my 401k you wouldn’t really know that I wasted all that time bc I make at least twice what everyone I know makes, and I can afford to buy video game and oil paints and private oil painting lessons. Literally my degree is the only reason I’m still alive at this point and it basically cancelled out my years of NEETdom. Very very useful thing to have.

I only had my very first job for 6 months before I had to quit for family reasons. Currently I have no desire to be around people and I have no solid goals just hoping eventually I'm competent enough in what I study to find a job. It doesn't help that I don't feel competent no matter what my grades are but I'd rather not reveal my subject area. Worst case scenario I'll have to leech off a man if that's even possible anymore.

I ended up becoming a neet for the last decade aside from earning money online because I can barely function. I thought I was just a lazy sow and the pain and constant darkness was all in my head until I was, here in my late 20s, diagnosed with a debilitating disease that have had likely all of my life which explains why I have always felt like death even as a little girl and probably had, what, 1 day I felt alive in my entire life? unfortunately, treatment will take a very long time and not really be "definitive"–it's not as easy as taking a magic pill.

God. My life has already been taken from me. I even have a speech/social disability on top of those health issues, and there's pretty much no way I'm gonna be able to fit in or ever connect to another person. It's all so unfair. I also wish I didn't have that 1 day I felt fine because it just confirmed how horribly I have felt my entire life and how subhuman I am. at least the internet exists so I can cling onto something.

Good luck nona, sticking to a specific sleep schedule is really one of the best things you can do for yourself. I feel my best when I consistently go to bed at around 8pm and wake up naturally at 6am and after a while it gets easier because your body gets used to it, so it won't require actual discipline anymore.

My mother often tells me about how some people in town (including my aunt and her relatives) mock me because I'm a loser neet with no job. I mean, I get it, they're right, but at the same time I wish my mother wouldn't tell me. I feel like she tells me because she agrees with them, otherwise why would you tell somebody that people are making fun of them and calling them retarded? Then she asks me if that bothered me and I told her no, but in reality it affects me. I self-harm over such comments, I've received them all my life (even when I was "normal") and now I can't stand them anymore. Makes me want to never step foot outside again. I've honestly tried to be the best person I could be but no matter what they can tell I'm retarded and even my own family will hate me. it hurts because I didn't expect those people to be like that behind my back, but oh well, I was too stupid to think that they thought nothing of me and my situation.

I recently finished my undergrad and have been unemployed for going on 3 months and even before high school the trajectory of my life was like a slow acclimation to NEETdom, by my second year of college I was already pretty much a neet in training. Now I really am one and my mother calls me her pet quite literally because all I do now is eat shit and sleep without the veil of school to shield me from reality. I should get a job and start sending out applications already but just thinking about every company rejecting me without letting me know at all already pisses me off before it's even happened. Can't even rely on the prestige of my school to save me since I've done jack shit with myself my entire life, no connections, no charisma either I'm angry looking by default monotone voice always coming off as cold rude and unfriendly and basically everything that could be acceptable or even just passably decent coming from a male that is absolutely intolerable from me. Only thing comforting me is the fact that my mom is willing to cushion me for a bit and that other people way more retarded than I am have made it before, I'll hit my stride someday even though I'm far behind other people my age and probably will be for a long time.

Network Nona. If you don't have a LinkedIn, get one and spend an afternoon making yourself look employable. Pretend you were volunteering or working on personal projects for the last few months. Better yet, actually do those things if possible. Find as many people who graduated in your major from your school and ask if you can get coffee with them. Say that you're interested in learning about different directions you can take with your degree or that you'd love to learn about their current role and how they ended up there etc. Extended family or friends of your parents are okay for this too.

Does anyone have any tips on making up and sticking to a daily routine? My days feel scattered and aimless because I have very little structure. I can think of a bunch of things to do every day, but not when to do them or how long to spend. I'm also nervous that even if I make up a plan, I will give up on/go against it immediately.

My friends said they'll visit me but I know I won't see them as much because it's not that fun to keep someone company when you're not able to really do something together, plus I probably don't really want to see anyone anyway on most days. Also a lot of my friendships are declining, it's people I know from school or summer jobs and I don't feel like we have much in common anymore though we still have fun together.

Learn how to have deep, rich, compassionate conversations to maximise the time you do have with friends. How to ask questions, how to be an active listener, how to speak from your heart and invite others to open up their hearts too. There are tons of books, articles, and videos about communication and empathy. If this idea interests you, I can recommend some. If you want to try it without any studying at all, i suggest looking up "36 Questions To Love," which is a game you can play with anybody whom you want to know deeply, not just romantically.
Conversation is very stimulating for me— maybe not so much for you or some of your friends— but this is how I deal with things. The whole point of friendship is to make an empathic connection, and since deep conversation comes naturally to me, this is my preferred method.
Lastly I'm wishing you a swift and gentle recovery. All the best to you nonette.

Do any nonnas have advice for curbing apathetic thoughts. Every time I try to partake in a hobby I enjoy/makes me feel good I’ll eventually find myself wondering what the point is? Like: why am I doing it, it’s no good, it’s never going to amount to anything, it doesn’t matter. Even when I power through and keep going the thoughts don’t stop. I have to try to distract myself while doing the hobby just so I can ignore the thoughts long enough to get to a stopping point. What is wrong with me, how do I stop this? I’m wasting so much of my life giving into this shit but it’s like no matter what I do I inevitably find myself frustrated/angry/sad.

This is how I live my life. Working a year or two, depending on how bad the job is and NEETing till I start the next job. My rent + food and such amount to ~900 euro a month. Even with minimum wage I make 1200 a month, so 300 surplus (unless I buy extra stuff, but I don't care about much, plus, piracy and hacked handhelds), making it 3600 spare euros a year, that's 4 months of NEETing, more if I plan my food shopping smarter (or eat less spare ribs per week).

Last time I had a bit more income though, amounting to one year of NEETdom. Sadly that period is now about to end and this time I feel like I am still not regenerated despite such a long time of peace.

Scary flashback but the only time I ever used my real name on the net was when I made a photobucket account for my fanart in 2003 because I was retarded and thought it needed a real name. And then I forgot it existed.
Flashforward 14 years.
While we were peacefully cleaning skulls with toothbrushes in 2017 my boss once casually told me that he was googling my name after getting my application but only finding a photobucket account that he clicked. With internal terror did I realize that one of the first pics he would see opening that place was the second last one I drew and uploaded back then which was a yaoi artwork with Hitler fucking Himmler.
The other shit I drew back then was similar, but it was at least involving Satan or Torquemada which people might assume to be some comic characters. He was considerate enough to not go into details and just told me that I have some talent for art.

To get back to topic, yeah, I will never use linkedin. No facebook either and I even refuse to get an extra what's app account or change appearances, so my last two bosses had to add a person with cringe chuuni name and Sentinel Prime avatar to our group chats.

I've been through unpleasant things for most of my life now and my mental health is below the ground but I've learned to keep going by thinking about the simple things and being happy about them. You don't need some grand purpose in life, in fact many non-neet people don't have passions or interests either. It may be stupid but I feel like I have a purpose when I remember that my dog won't get to eat if I'm not here, that I make her happy, that the plants in my house will wilt and die if I don't water them. As for passions even the most common things are fine.

No passion, only whimsies. I have accepted that I’m just this kind of person who tries things. I’ve gotten over feeling shame about not committing to things.

Another time I got so bored I started exercising and lost 10kg (since then gained most of it back kek). Don’t waste NEET time by thinking too much, just do what you think is good or fun. You know those memes “your unemployed friend on tuesday”, live like that unironically.

(Antidepressant helps. It’s not as fun to be NEET when you’re depressed.)

Read, draw and see my boyfriend/friends at least once a week. I'm lucky to have a few people I can count on, I would go absolutely mad if I stayed inside all day. Also taking walks and watching nostalgia shows or documentaries helps me a lot to stay sane, plus I'm at least learning something new. Would never give this life up for wageslaving but I hate that I'll have to one day.

Hello neet nonnies, how are you doing? I've been a neet for years now and while I appreciate the slow life I just feel so lonely. I don't have any friends or a partner. Most people automatically resent you as soon as they discover you're a neet, obviously my family doesn't really like me and for some reason internet friendships just feel so shallow and I wouldn't even know where to begin. Seeing other people having meaningful experiences make me want to rot inside my house forever.

kek I'm so stupid.
I deluded myself into thinking I can't off myself because it would crush my mom. The truth is that she is empty inside and doesn't care. I was minimizing our interactions to successfully repress this fact.

I've been a neet my whole adult life. except for this brief period where I relocated to another fucking continent to go to college. I lasted there for about a month or so before I dropped out. I'm not ready yet to rejoin society and I had to find out the hard way. well. life isn't too bad.

I work from home and go to school from home, it's all online. I live with my best friend and rent a room from her. I dont have a car, I do have a license, but I don't feel like the expense of a car is necessary since I do everything at home. I even get my groceries delivered or just walk to the store if I only need one bag of stuff it's only a mile away. I don't really talk to my family often. Mostly I talk to my one best friend and my boyfriend. And probably once or twice a month I see other friends. Am I a NEET because I always am home all the time and rely on others to help get to places? And I keep my social interactions to an absolute bare minimum, because I prefer to be alone. Or am I not a NEET because I do work and take classes? I feel like a loser regardless

I've been trying to keep busy with diy projects to fend off the loneliness. Having the same issue as you with online friendships feeling too shallow but irl friendships not working out because neet stigma. I don't know if my family resents me or not but I am putting a lot of effort into doing stuff that makes their lives better or easier which I hope makes up for not bringing in money. I wish very much that I could make friends but working for my family helps a lot. I feel very bad when I spend a day just playing games or reading.

I kind of hate weekends because I use podcasts as my main source of parasocial relationships to fill the void, but barely any release their episodes on the weekends. Monday morning when I open up my feed feels like a mini Christmas to me each week.

Been a neet since I dropped out of my last year of highschool 5 years ago and 2 years of a hiki phase throughout. Have no qualifications and I feel like a lowlife bumming off of the gov with neetbux (about $313NZD from benefit every tues) my grandmother livig rentfree and being so eternally online and antisocial I really want to be independent someday meet my best internet friend but god. Outside world scary, and my dormant lifestyle has led to me letting go hard so activity is worse. Kind of want to get into social housing to spare my grandmother this stress but I'm hella anxious .

I have decided to embrace the housewife life and aesthetic because it's just a variation on what I've been doing for the past several years. Instead of being a gross sweatpants girl who plays vidyagaems all day now I look presentable and I make myself useful all day. It's a cozy way of life when it's divorced from religious expectations and the idea of scrotal supremacy.

It's a way to deal with the employment hell scape in today's world. A lot of these anons want to be successful career women, even if it's deep down. Doom scrolling on indeed and Zillow, year long job finding processes if you're lucky enough to not get fired every other week, giving up your livelihood for pennies, and not even being able to enjoy various amenities because of inflation and everything being monetized has made a lot of women give up and take the housewife route, even if that's not what they want

there's a whole debate you have about technical jobs, like I don't have a problem with working, but I'm just not that smart for anything technical and that's a lot of people these days and it sucks there are basically no option to support yourself.

No. 1936293

The project got shut down starting February but I'm officially unemployed since March 15th and I hate to admit it but I have checked for jobs maybe twice in these almost 2 months. I'm so burned out from my previous job (tech support in a call centre) that even the idea of ending up in a place like that gives me anxiety. It's also the only thing that seems to be posted on job sites, where tf did all the "normal" jobs go? I'm lucky that I have savings so I can chill for a few more months but geez, my mental health isn't improving.

I've been trying to find a job but I'm not willing to work in fast food for minimum wage and anything around here that pays decently only hires men because blue collar. Never wanted to be a housewife. It's not that it's a lot of work or anything (no children), it's just inherently lonely and boring. Not having much money makes it that much worse.

Even with technical jobs you have to search the entire sea to find ones that aren't a complete scam/mlm. Most warehouses laugh off women unless you're a massive butch (not that it's an issue), and a lot of female oriented jobs are filled with prissy people who can and will tried to get you fired just cause they didn't like your vibe or something. It doesn't help those jobs don't include unions and don't pay well.
