I'm so terribly alone. Tomorrow I say I'll go and find something to do, but by daybreak I've lost all motivation.

I hope a burglar kills me in my sleep.

Fuck the army. If I ever joined the armed forces it would have to be the marines.

>>18459018
I've heard too many horror stories about basic training.
Also I don't want other men to laugh at my tiny penis.

NEET just seems like a nicer way of saying fucking loser that's going nowhere with his/her life.

How about a hikki?

>>18458951
Yeah, Amerifag here. I'm in pretty much the same situation. My education is worthless because of outsourcing and competition from experienced workers, I have no friends to give me references, no work history for employer references, and even volunteer positions want character references. Low-end workplaces won't hire me because I have a degree and they can more easily underpay teenagers.

I'm beginning to consider alternative means of income, since in this country I cannot even apply for unemployment and medicaid/welfare is absolute shit. Oh, that reminds me. I'm also in debt up to my eyeballs from paying for Uni.

Basically, life sucks bro. At least we can still shoplift.

>>18459054
LOL horror stories of BASIC?
You realize these people that go through basic... later go to WAR, right?

We have both been online at hours of the day when 4chan is Eurochan.
What have these Eurofags done to us?

>>18459054
Yeah, I was afraid of that in high school, but then i noticed that almost all of the other boys had small cocks. Nothing to be scared of there. Noticing another man's junk makes you a faggot anyway and you can just point that out to basically make 'em shut the fuck up.

The Army doesnt take shit to join. You go just either stand around or get thrown on the front lines where you will die.

The marines actually takes an education before they'll even accept you. They also do all the real work in war.

Dug myself out of NEETdom with a lot of determination and a bit of luck. I'm now a sysadmin.

The older you are, the harder it will be to save yourself. If you have a good relationship with your parents, it helps. If you can, get yourself on a training course related to what you want to do. If there's any free council-run sessions on how to write a CV or how to take interviews, go to them. If you want help (including financial help), dole office lackeys will gladly give you it, provided it makes you more likely to get a job.

The biggest hurdle is getting over the problem like >>18458882 has. There's no real incentive to stop living like a NEET. Sure, the quality of life isn't amazing, but with an internet connection and near limitless free time, it's very comfortable if you can shrug off the feeling of being worthless. If you can give yourself some goal that you can harden your resolve towards, anything is possible. Even if the goal isn't that realistic, as long as you can draw enough determination to get through the process of getting yourself into a job, it'll be fine.

It's not easy, and it's not fun, but it's a necessary step for someone living an unsustainable lifestyle.

(Lack of experience will really make it hard to get a job. Apply for relevant volunteer work as early as possible, if you can.)

>>18459138
Well, he didn't say he wasn't a faggot.

>>18459116
Lol, honestly, I like the way Britfags speak and write. Personally, I'd like to recognize the queen as the head of state and change our anthem to God Save the Queen. Then, we could mandate that everyone learn to stop speaking through his nose and using horrendous Amerifag table manners!

I'm working odd one-off jobs until I go to University in September - but anything I earn over £5 gets taken off my JSA. WTF?

but yeah, still neet status

>>18459254
Nope.jpg
Nope.gif

Military college.
Lost my contract just before commissioning.
In 4 years of training, I've been around many service members of all branches. My platoon at ARMY Airborne School even had Marines, Sailors, and Airfags.
Most Marines I've talked to recommend joining the Army anyway.

I'm just neat.

>>18459298
Now why would they do that? Maybe because it's easier? Because they don't want you to go through the hell they did?

>>18459304
oh u :3

>>18459314
LOLOLOL
Once again, you know SO little.
Also, hell? What hell?

i'm not a neet i am at uni

but out of term time i feel like a neet, depressed, unfulfilled, alone
i just want to go back to university :/

>>18459368
Marines have it harder than the Army.

Let's see here.
32 unemployed, convicted felon so Military service is not an option. G.E.D. as well. Can't get a waiver for both. To late now anyways.
2 failed careers. One as a PC repair tech, the other as a carpenter. Can't get unemployment/welfare. Can't get student aid. Can't get a low rung job because I'm "overqualified".

And people wonder why I'm pissed off all the time. XD

feelsbadman.jpg

>>18459380
Have it harder? Are you trying to say training is harder? Or are you trying to say the bullets that are shot at them are more painful than those shot at soldiers...?

oh shit, I just realized that I've been a NEET for over a month now.

I really do need to submit more job applications. Although I do still tons of leftover financial aid to last me at least year though, provided I don't buy useless shit.

>>18459393
>convicted felon.

I have no time for you. Maybe you shouldn't have been an asshole.

>internship/volunteer work

>>18459441
There is no one, even for volunteer work you need to get to "negotiation" ( dunno the exact word for it , sorry), to give motivation letters, CV, etc.
Shit is too much serious

>>18459430
LOL. At my college, a significant portion of the cadets are prior enlisted or in a simultaneous program. I've got lots of friends that have gone through all different training from all branches, myself having experienced quite a bit of training on the Army side of things.
Freshman year in my outfit is harder than Basic from ANY branch- as confirmed by friends who have graduated Basic from each branch.

Need I repeat myself so many times?
You know SO little.

>>18459460
Okay. I let my misconceptions and ego get in the way, my bad.
How about we talk about technology now?

>my face when I am happily married, outgoing, and I own a successful business. I am only 24.
I know it's not 'fair' to look down on you losers, but I've earned it. I worked hard while you were sitting around playing video games all day and crying about how much of a failure you were.
No magical catgirls are going to tell you you're the chosen one and give you special powers. You're not part of some secret government scheme wherein you're given lots of money to sponge around all day. An unknown wealthy relative isn't going to die tomorrow and leave you all of their money.

Welcome to the real world, faggots.

>>18459483
>24 year old baby

>>18459474
Well this is a first.
Since when does anyone on 4chan admit they were wrong?
Admirable.

So, technology... technology...
Bluetooth is pretty cool. Too bad companies decide all bluetooth mice must be miniature sized.

>>18459424
FYI I haven't always been an asshole. I developed it over the years as I constantly got turned down for job after job after job. If you constantly get pissed on your whole life you tend to become a bit of an asshole.

It's not like you even have some grand insight or knowledge that would change or rectify my situation.

I made a mistake. I didn't NARC and I took the heat instead of catching a bullet.(If you can't or don't understand why then you don't really even come from a place that would warrant any comment.) I guess I didn't realize at the time that it would hold me down for the rest of my life.
How does that make me an asshole?

If anything I understand all to well that my actions have consequences that can last a lifetime.

I just wish society wouldn't judge me based on a mistake I made when I was 18 and didn't really know a damn thing about how the world works.

I haven't left the house in 3 months.

>>18459483
What does married and outgoing have to do with NEET?

>>18459499
The problem is I'm almost never wrong but honestly I should have stopped and thought as soon as you posted this >>18459298
Ah well shit happens.

Bluetooth... I dont think I've ever used bluetooth to be honest. Isn't it suppose to be really slow though?

>>18459507
I changed my mind. Your parents are assholes.

>>18459507
Well taking the heat sure helped your life out.

>>18459520
FWIW, I've had many of my own misconceptions busted in the past 4 years.

I found this pic of bluetooth speeds.
2.0 seems to be fine for peripherals.
Maybe 3.0 will make it more relevant for data.

The world is shit. Perhaps we should initiate a fascist rebellion or something for lulz. Imagine the outrage.

>use parents' money to pay out-of-state tuition (over $150K total) at a Hawaiian university just to study political science
>using more of their money to study international relations for my MA

Feels meh. I'm still just goofing off mostly and getting by on minimal effort. Pretty sure it's going to bite me on the ass hard someday but for now I'll just enjoy the ride. I don't feel like working, I don't even feel lonely enough to want a gf except for some nights.

I already had sex in HS and college and even held a full-time job for a year but that seems like a lifetime ago now.

People ask me if I regret living so casually. I tell them I might someday, just not today.

>>18459577
Are you me?

Except for the Hawaii thing, fuck you. I want to Hawaii.

>>18459564
Hmm guess so then. Whats the draw to use it? is it low power compared to the other options or what?

>>18459630
I haven't found a drawback yet, though I've only been using it for like 2 weeks. No USB wireless receivers is naice. And transfers from my phone are much quicker and easier. (Pics from phone are instant, so datarate is fast enough for that). Haven't tried video yet.

Actually my mother is an alcoholic bitch, but my dad is one cool dude. Neither are really assholes.

Or are you implying there assholes for bringing a fuckup like me into the world! XD

Maybe there asshole's because she rather drink and fuck random men instead of raise her kids. Maybe he's an asshole for spending all of his time at work and instead of dealing with me just locked me in the basement. Who knows.

Regardless of how they might have or have not fucked up raising me I still knew that what I did was wrong. I didn't understand the severity of what I did, but I still knew it was wrong. It's not there fault. It's my own.

And what is with that anyways? Bluetooth mice are to small. They must be because there designed and built by gooks with small hands. IDK. I still can't bring myself to buy any cordless mouse. It's getting harder these days to find decent mid range ones that aren't.

I wouldn't want to live in Hawaii, I hear the internet there is shitty even compared to the already shit speeds of the rest of the US.

>>18459660
Hmmm... videos say "Exceeds maximum file size" even with a 10 sec video at phone-size resolution. I'm curious about PC->PC data transfers via bluetooth...

Britfriend NEETs, let's meet up and do a squat.

>>18459513
At least I didn't catch a bullet to the head. If I would have NARC'd those gangbangers would have shot my ass.

I don't expect the normal suburban /g/ neet to understand that.

Just because you're on summer vacation doesn't mean you're a NEET. Faggots as always, /g/.

>>18459592
You didn't miss much. Weather's fuckawesome but other than that there's not really too much to do. Bangkok is way better.

>>18459703
>I was stupid enough to get involved with drugs and tough guys at 18, then told the police.
>BAWWWW MY LIFE IS SHIT NOW I ONLY MADE ONE MISTAKE NOT THAT YOU'D UNDERSTAND /g/ ;_;

>>18459713
I've been on summer vacation for the past year, does that qualify?

>>18459676

I would if the speed is around 550kb/s. I am content with that. I love the heat and tropical weather so it would be a great location. Though I myself am a shut-in so I am not sure how I will ever get there.

>>18459660
Well thats god to hear, and I hadnt considered the lack of connections for bluetooth devices.
Hmmm... I might just have to invest in this tech myself in the near future.

>>18459703
I understand man. I grew up worrying who was going to come through the front door most of my childhood. Even had some people just brake the door open once that I can remember. Then foster care happened and I became white. Go figure.

>>18459689
Wat. Thats ghey.

Anyways you turned out to be a decent person. It was chill talkin or whatever.
I gotta get some sleep though, It's past 5am

>>18459729
By technicality, but one year is hardly anything. Get a job, buy new things to unbox for /g/.

>>18459664
A parent whose child is convicted of a felony at 18 has failed on an epic level.
Sure, it's still your fault, but you've REALLY been let down by those with a responsibility to look out for you.

I think most bluetooth mice are tiny because manufacturers expect them to be used with laptops (read portability). I've seen two that were fullsize, one didn't have sidescrolling, the other can only be bought with a bundled keyboard for a total of over $100.

I use a Wireless Intellimouse Explorer 2.0, which I've really liked using over the past 5 years. Unnecessarily big wireless receiver though...

>>18459722
>I was stupid enough to get involved with drugs and tough guys at 18, then told the police.
>BAWWWW MY LIFE IS SHIT NOW I ONLY MADE ONE MISTAKE NOT THAT YOU'D UNDERSTAND /g/ ;_;

A. It didn't evolve drugs. If you must know I was the local fence/repair guy for stolen electronics. It was a pretty decent amount of cash atm and a whole lot of free stuff.
B. I didn't tell the police ANYTHING. Someone told the police that they got something from me. I never did find out who ratted but meh. I didn't tell them where I got it so they pinned me with burglary instead of simple possession of stolen property.

Don't assume things you have no clue about asshat.

>>18459750
No thanks, but have some tuna.

It's the thought that counts, right?

>>18459780
Your life deserves to suck.

>>18459782
moh!

>>18459780
You repaired their fences?

What's a fence/repair guy?

>>18459782
lol'd

>>18459780
Why didn't you just tell them that you got it from thieves, but if you told them who, they'd kill you?

Truth is good. Especially with cops.

>>18459765
Well the most they could have done at that time was get me a lawyer or bail me out, but since we are poor that couldn't have happened. I would have never took a plea bargain and would have fought the case. Had I been older and not so scared out of my mind from being locked up I might have fought it while inside.

Believe me if you were some small 18 year old white boy locked in a cell with some big ass Muslim roody-poo who hates white ppl that's charged with murder and the state offers you a deal that gets you out your going to take it. XD The county that I was in was notorious for having a 98% conviction rate on all felonies.

I tend to favor cheap logitech mice, but couldn't find one that was corded so I'm now using a cheap 9.99 MS shit mouse. My back up is a cheap radio shack one and the only one they had that was corded. I guess I'll have to get a better mouse once I get back to work.

>>18459703
>those gangbangers would have shot my ass
Yes. As someone who once lived in Detroit, I'd know. The cops do not care if some worthless criminals kill another felon, terrible as that is. They won't protect you unless you're a witness in a major trial. The criminals are really nasty types, too. I mean, some worthless black guy stabbed me in the shoulder when I told him to get off my property. That is all that I did. I did not call him a nigger or anything. If I hadn't pulled a gun on him and shot him in the upper leg, he'd probably have killed me. I don't even want to think about what they'd do to someone who seriously crossed them.

I'm just terrified of getting a job, and I have no idea why. I know I would be fully capable of doing any number of things and there are even several available positions I could apply for right now and I'd probably have a 90% chance of getting the job and they're at least double minimum wage so it'd be pretty good. But for some reason I can't bring myself to do it. I know I need to get a job because I can't be a NEET forever. I know I can do the job well. I know that, despite the fact that I hate every other human being on the planet, I can cope with the required human interaction and not kill everybody. I even WANT to stop being a NEET so I can stop leeching off my parents, but every time I'm about to make a decision that will lead me towards being more successful in life I freeze up even though I know there's no rational reason not to do it.
How do I motivate myself to sort my fucking life out and stop being such a worthless NEET. I don't even ENJOY sitting around doing nothing all day and wish I had something else to do. ;_;

help me /g/

>>18459968
I have no help for you, for I AM you.

>>18459862
A "fence" is someone that sells the stolen crap for the thieves. XD Sometimes things get broken or damaged when they steal them.
>>18459880
I guess so. Still will not stop me from trying to make my life "not suck". If anything I've proved what a complete and total loser really is. I guess I'm just the scum of society. w/e
They wanted to know who. I even told them that I didn't even know there names, but they insisted that I tell them who they were or I'd take the fall for it.

Evidently you don't understand that they grill the living hell out of you and try and get you to crack. They even tried the good cop/bad cop routine on me. Since I was already "under arrest" I didn't say shit.

>>18459968

I wanna play vidya with youse guise.
I live in Texas.

>>18459960
This guy knows. It's not just me that might have taken a bullet either. They tend to shoot up your house with no regard to who else might be in it.

Granted I was dumbass for ever getting evolved in such a situation. At least I didn't narc like some pussy. I took the heat and got out of that place with my asshole and street cred in tact. I did my time and became a law abiding citizen.

I bet if most of the people ripping on me where in that situation they'd have folded and told the pigs everything.

Proud and sustained neet here. I've got jury duty today. What should I expect?

>>18460177
Yep. That's basically it. It might seem like a tempting idea at the time but just don't do it.

When I was in work release the center I was in was ran by a very wise man. He told us that the only difference between him and us was that we got caught. He truly believed that just because we make a mistake in life that we weren't necessarily bad people. We just made a bad choice.

>>18460176
but I live on the other side of the planet
