I just don't remember.

I've always been this way. It's not something I chose.

social phobia

Despair at society.

I was born that way.

Scared about other people's opinion.

This

started playing this online game called maplestory when I was 15 or so.
then got addicted to it and now im 19, high school dropout, not going to college, and living in the 2nd floor of my house. Don't remember anything since last year because I was grinding my aran all the time.

Good guide is good

i failed out of school at 16, shut myself away around that time, and 6 years later i've just lost not only any interest at social interaction, but the ability to socially interact with somebody of my age, as my social growth was stunted at 16.

i suspect this is the case for everyone in /jp/; some sort of agoraphobia towards social interaction or real life obligations like work, career and family prospects.

except none of us stop to think: what about 15 years from now? even if i get a job, what kind of human will i be?

pic related for that one.

I'm not a NEET.

I wish I could be a NEET. I work 11 goddamn hours a day.

I hate everyone

Everyone hate me

No will to do anything in life, I guess.
I enjoy living, but I have no goals at all, so why bother.

>>4759018
that you? how old are you now?

This,

and this.

Being a NEET and being a hikki are 2 very different things. Stop confusing them.

>>4759056
TRU
NEETs
ONLY

I don't like people. You see, I thought I was just socially awkward. I was never good at small talk or conversation with anybody. I figured this is simply because I'm an introvert, and accept this. I eventually met a girl who is also a NEET, more so than I because she does not leave the house and sleeps during daylight hours. She was into me since we could relate to each other in so many ways, and she was fine looking for a nerdy bitch. I tried to become more interested in her on a personal and emotion level, which as such form the basis of a relationship. After about a month of vising her at her apartment, I realized I don't even care for a relationship like this, even though this girl was straight out of a manga.

So, after concluding that I don't even seek an emotional or sexual relationship from life, I just about stopped caring here. Now I've simply been existing how I chose. I exist as part of the internet, all my thoughts and ideas and opinions. The only people I know and who know me exist in this digital world, and thats how I like it. If life were a cyberpunk novel and I could cease to exist in the real world, but continue to exist in the internet, I would.

>>4759056
>buttmad normalfag

Go back to the rest of your kind on /b/; on /jp/, if you aren't NEET, you need to get out.

>>4759056

its common knowledge that /jp/ exists solely for NEETs hermits shutins and hikis alike

>>4759073

the human mind and all its thoughts is nothing more than electrical impulses..same as information on the internet. they'll bridge the gap eventually, giving rise to a whole phase of transhumanists

Tell me more about the taste of hypocrisy, lying scenester faggot.

Fear is probably the most important reason. But it's justified fear: people get murdered just going outside doing nothing wrong, it's much safer just staying inside and I actually want to create things before I die, so I try to minimize my chance of dying as much as I can. Friends are just more dangers: you could die in a carcrash when going out with them, or get knifed while going out, or one of your "friends" turns out to be some psychopath who kills you for some retarded reason.

>stray poster normalfag from /a/

quick, /jp/, get out the rifle!

99 PROBLEMS BUT A BITCH AIN'T ONE

1: It hurts to catch sun rays after a long while.
3: Just an ordinary/simple sound sounds like a big noise.
6: You don't get fat than you imagine because while you don't move your
body and consume little calories, you don't have much appetite.
8:>>6 You naturally come to have a meal once a day without feeling
hungry.
15: Try to pay much attention to whether you are wearing an appropriate
clothes even just when you go to a convenience store.
17: Scared of mornings to come.
18: Always shut curtains and keep sunlights from coming in.

>>4759110
>I didn't know it changed

That's why you're a normalfag who needs to get out.

Number unknow: When I was a real hikikomori, I didn't catch rays for as
long as one year. It's miracle that I recovered to the point where I
feel comfortable with bathing in sunlights...
30: >>18 Smae here...
28: Just a casual walk at night makes your back and knees wabble.
48: >>28 That's exactly the case with me. You get less interested in
weather forcast.
31: When you go outside after a long while, you feel like as if you'd
just got out of a jail.
32: When you wake up in the daytime, you think "I'll sleep a little
bit more" and when you wake up at night, you think "It's about time
to get up..."
38: Even though it's cold outside already, you go out wearing light clothing
without realizing change in season.
44:>>38 That... That happens...
Number unknown: I've lost the track of changes in seasons because of a long
period of shut-in life and I've go out heavily-clothed even in warm weather in
spring.
45: It's true that your vocal cord gets weak. I think my voice was lower
when I was a middle school student.
46: You forget how to vocalize.
47: It's extremely painful to walk in a corwd.
55: You stop looking yourselves in a mirror. You look at yourselves reflected
in a mirror after one year and wonder if the face in the mirror is sure
that of yours.
61:When outside, you feel inferiority complex towards unspecific people.
66: You come to have trouble in vocalizing.
Number unknown: I've caught a cold and stayed at home for the whole week.
When one week passed, I couldn't speak well. When you shut in, you don't
speak.
68: You feel uneasy about other people's eyes.
69: You come to find it hard to speak something in mind and you look weird,
struggling to say it.
70: You lose the sense of time. You become clueless about what day it is
today.

I don't like people much..

>>4759102

Unless you're working on a cure for cancer from home or making my waifu real, it's probably okay for you to go outside and have fun.

73: When you go out, you feel dizzy. Just a short walk cause muscle pains
the next day.
75: You feel uneasy about the way you walk.
77: You reacknowledge that the world functions without you.
83: Just the sound of doorbell scares you to death.
90: The sound of ringtone has almost the same effect of bomb exlosion.
91: You feel inferiority complex even towards your pet. Before you stroke
him/her, you pause and wonder if a person like me is worth stroking him.
97: When you are forced to go out in the daytime, you feel dizzy because of
brightness and pressures you feel. If at night, relatively OK.
99: You start thinking about why on earth you live.
104: I dream of you playing with my friends. I wonder why because
I decided that I don't need any friends any more.
125: >>104 You feel like crying when you wake up after such dreams.
In dreams like that, people you may be able to become friends with
or you want to become friends with appear. That's so tough.
Number unknown: >>125 Same here. In my case, friends I used to hang out
with appear in my dream.
115: You feel peaceful on rainy days.
133: If you try to speak something after a long while, you can't speak well.
Once you start laughing, you can't stop it. Plus the way you laugh is weird.
138: All these posts are so compelling that I cried.
142: A lot more hikikomori in this board than I imagined. lololol
146: You get hungry--->You open refrigerator----> you found nothing to eat
there--->You try to sleep or you surf the Internet.

>>4759112
I don't have a rifle ;_;

You "people" are pathetic.

154: One day passes really quickly. Probably today, too. lol
Sorry for being worthless.
185: Try to make my surroundings as if it were late at night.
207: You are annoyed by rays coming in from gaps between curtain and wall,
so you put corrugated boards over the gaps tp prevent rays from coming in.
226: You try write down a message you get over the phone but find out that
you forget how to write kanji characters.
242: Your skin color is like that of fluorescent lamp.
265: You realize your muscles are getting weak. I found myself having
trouble holding NINTENDO 64 controller with GB pack inserted.
282: I realized that most of hikikomori are a kind of people who can't
live a social life.
Number unknown: We are a kind of people who can't get out of this situation.
289:>>282 Why don't you start doing a part-time job?
Number unknown: I know. I understand that in my head but when it comes to
taking action, I'm scared. I know I sound like making an excuse, though...
302: You unconsciously try to finish errands you have to do outside on
one occasion.
305: Middle aged woman in a barber shop asks you, "Have you decided whether you
start working or have advanced education?"
Number unknown: SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY
317: >>305 I'm scared of that type of question so I can't go to a barber shop.
353: Your eyes are always those of women who's just been raped.
375: You research about the ways to get profit from stock exchange market or foreign
currencies exchanges, but you end up knowing only someone whon knows the
way to make profits can survive.
411: You start to get less interested in buying things (you want.)
423: You groom yourself and wear nice clothes to go out but all
of a sudden, you feel like you don't go out and changes clothes to
the one you wear in your room again.

461: You feel sorry for your parents being nice to you.
473: >>461 I'm too sorry for my parents smile at me.
474: When I think it's about time to get out of my hikikomori situation,
I'm scared of eyes.
Number unknown: People around me ask if I'm OK, worrying about me, but
that's just painful to me.
509: I feel peaceful on Saturdays and Sundays because I kind of think that everybody doesn't work on these days so I have a right to have a rest on these days, too.

>>4759130
>I'm a normalfaggot.

Enjoy spending all your time at a job you don't like and surrounded by people you don't like, all for money that you don't have time to spend because you're too busy working. The truth hurts, doesn't it?

>>4759119
>45: It's true that your vocal cord gets weak. I think my voice was lower

I always fear this, but didn't talk enough in school to even remember what I sounded like.

I read everything aloud, so I don't think my voice will change much.

>>4759130
And you're a normalfag going to /jp/ so you can call them pathetic.
That's pretty hypocritical of you.

>>4759029

no thats not me. i forget his name, but he was on /a/ a few years back when they had a lot of shameless neets over there.

fear of failure public failure
dislike of people in general
dislike of idiots
terrible social skills

People tend to mistake me as being lazy but it's quite the opposite. I'm very driven when I have a goal, but when that goal is inhibited by forcing me to interact with people--and not having the option to withdraw whenever I like such as in internet communities--nothing good ever comes of it.

Just thinking about this world depresses me and makes me apathetic towards doing anything, since none of it matters. We have no goal in life, no reason given why we're here, any effort we spend on anything is wasted. The only thing that I can see has some merit is creating entertainment to amuse each other with during our stay in this world. But even then I might as well let others create it for me and not worry myself with creating it for others.

>>4759157
I come to /jp/ to discuss VNs and Touhous, not to see mentally immature, self-pitying douchebags ruin the board by turning it into their personal hugbox. This is why NEET should be an autoban - it's the subject of all the worst threads, barring KoG spam.

>>4759146
You'll make a fine trap, though.

>>4759189
If that ruins the board for you, this isn't the place for you. Your kind is actually what makes us sick, so go figure?

>NEET R LEGIUN

why? ever watch serial experiments lain?

her dilemma is that she fails to connect to anybody in the real world. suddenly she's introduced to the "wired" (internet), and slowly becomes more and more addicted. she realizes that here, people respect and care for her, and people stop to listen to what she has to say. eventually the walls between reality and the internet start to blur.

my experience is the same. my physical self is nothing; i wake up, sit on the computer, go to sleep. its what i do on the internet that i consider to be my life. bridging the distance between the real world and the internet world

>>4759203
If that's what you gathered from my post you really have a simple mind. As was to be expected.

>not to see mentally immature, self-pitying douchebags ruin the board by turning it into their personal hugbox.

Going to have to agree
/jp/ can be full of NEETs and hikkikomoris without being whining, self-pitying douchebags about it

Thread filter, idiot. Use it.
I approve of such threads. If you're capable of socializing and getting consolation from the outside world, good for you.
I, for one, feel fine here. I can't adapt to society, and it feels good to know you can at least stay somewhere.

>>4759189

you're failing to realize, just about every poster on /jp/ is a self-pitying, lonely fuck with no self confidence. just browsing this board, you're mingling with these people. if you don't like it, go to another VN community. /jp/ is and always will be for NEET and other fuck ups in life, not egomaniacs like yourself who think you're somehow superior because of entirely subjective reasons.

There is a difference between being a normalfag and not being a NEET.

>>4759218

they're from a really old /jp/ thread that i saved (i think its on easymodo or 4chanarchive). basically, somebody had youtube video of quotes from the 2ch NEET board, and translated them to english. it contained reasons as to why each poster was a NEET/hiki.

http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=8D7IYUAa7Zs&feature=related

>>4759218
>What is this?
I believe it's a compilation of "NEET" posts from a thread on 2ch.

Was addicted to WoW, dropped out of high school, and haven't done shit since. I'm too afraid to even try to get a GED to move on with my life.

>>4759219
This. You can cry "why is /jp/ so full of NEETs??? waaahhhh" all you want, but you are kind of like a man going to a feminist forum and being offended at all the anti-male sentiment there.

You're simply not where you are supposed to be.

I guess normalfags could find something like that funny...

I would go outside more often if not for all the people..
maybe the sun being so bright..

weed makes you happy being by yourself

it's also a huge demotivator

I can interact with people comfortably, it's just that majority of the time I have no drive to do anything other than be a useless piece of shit and play videogames when I'm not out getting money

>>4759245
Same here. Especially:

>73: When you go out, you feel dizzy. Just a short walk cause muscle pains the next day.
>97: When you are forced to go out in the daytime, you feel dizzy because of brightness and pressures you feel. If at night, relatively OK.

When I go outside I get extremely lightheaded, dizzy, find it hard to concentrate... it just makes me want to not go outside at all anymore, because I end up feeling terrible.

>>4759262
Went in my diaper. The feeling of the warm excrement caking against your butt's an amazing feeling; I encourage you all to try it at least once. It's completely different from when you're a baby.

>>4759333
Keep living in your fantasy world. We all do that, anyway.

>>4759333
I go to school, but I skip classes in unhealthy amounts. Mostly because I decide to stay shut in, or I oversleep.

Try and collect disability, if you can. I get $700 a month from Social Security for my depression and anxiety.

>>4759376
I know of only one person, yes, including males and females, that half shares my interests.
She is, incidentally, a female that is intelligent, beautiful, and taken.
I don't mind the taken part at all. But I hardly get to see her for that reason.
The rest of the people I know share almost nil of my interests or, 2 years ago, my vision and goals. So I find no reason to go outside.
You know, except on rare cases, when the entire world is different from you, you better change.
In my case, I don't know how, and curiously, I've found a comfort zone here in my home, alone.
It's not that bad, at least for me. If it were, I wouldn't be where I currently am.

Good to know that my tax money is funding figurine collections.

>>4759418

>>4759452
>>4759466
And ignore these people. Likely Americans, they HATE the thought of people who need help getting money. They'd rather you die than pay a single dollar more tax money.

>>4759437
I hear the UK gives out a lot of disability money.

>>4759466
best way to employ tax money, yep.

>>4759484
I'll gladly pay for someone that needs it. Bullshit "I have anxiety give me money" doesn't cut it.

>>4759498
You should stop paying taxes, then.

>>4759498
fuck you
anxiety is serious business

>>4759486
Normalfags actually pretend to care about "society" and other meaningless constructs like that.

It's because it's all they have.

>>4759484

My tax money is supposed to help starving mothers with four kids. My tax money is supposed to help people with cancer. My tax money is supposed build bridges, pave roads, arm a military, and put people on the fucking moon. My tax money is not so a NEET can continue being a NEET.

>>4759333

I technically don't have a job. I'm not being schooled right now. I'm definitely not in training. I go outside, I do things, but ultimately I enjoy being in my house and spend a large amount of time there.

So, NEET. But not the genuine Hikki article as I don't have a crippling case of agoraphobia and such. I also medicate myself with MDA and MDMA to prevent that from happening.

>>4759518
Pity it's not your money when you give it away, so you've no say in how it's spent.

Stingy Americans.

>>4759437
But if you live at home it'd be more than enough...

Unfortunately for me I live by myself and have to pay rent, and moving back home is not really an option. I got fired from my last job basically for being too anti-social, the funny thing is the guy who fired me was a supervisor who didn't actually work around me, and when my actual coworkers found out I was quitting they were like "wait don't quit, you do good work" and the supervisor was like "oh wait, I take it back, you can work here" but the job was fucking shit so I quit anyway. I was then a NEET for about half a year and got my parents to send me rent money while saying that I was job-hunting and actually staying inside all day doing nothing. Then I managed to get a job through internet job hunting, and somehow managed to get through the interview. The company is a video game company, I'm not saying what company though. I hope there will be a lot of otaku there so they'll be more kind towards my antisocialness than my last workplace was. I start work this week, I'm kinda nervous.

>>4759518
hahaha enjoy working, faggot.

>>4759498
See >>4759508

You don't get to control what happens with tax money, so if you don't like it, fucking don't pay it, because we have every right to make use of a system that is actually meant for us to make use of it. People like you only inhibit people who need this so they can work on getting better from collecting it, because they will feel even more like leeches.

You're a selfish assholish cunt and I hope you get in an accident someday.

>>4759527

Yes. That's called "being wronged". It's a common occurrence here in the land of the free.

>>4759498
Thanks for helping to pay for my new LED TV and the 4 figures I bought this month, bro.

>>4759529
That sounds awesome man, good luck.

How do some of you even have health coverage as a NEET?

>>4759548
As if we'd go to the doctor anyway.

Laziness. I realized I could just not work and play games all day, so I do. Also I'm fucking dog tired all the time, like insanely tired and I'm not overweight either. Maybe if I still jogged a mile every day that would change, but I like to think it's an adrenal condition or something, that shifts the blame off of me.

>>4759529
What are you going to do at a videogame company?

>>4759534

He's selfish because he pays into a system that you draw out of. I understand perfectly.

>>4759529
Good luck, man. Although I am a hikki myself, it's good to see other people moving forward. If it doesn't work out, /jp/ is still here for you.

>>4759548

I don't have health insurance. Feels bad, man.

I'm one of the Uninsured Americans Obama was talking about.

>>4759559
Of course you'd understand your own reasoning.

>>4759559
He's selfish because he gives money to someone, then wants to dictate how that person spends the money.

>>4759529
Good luck, Anon!

So you are going to give your money to a whore who's responsible for her own problems but you wont give money to someone who isn't responsible for his problems.

I've been pulling that same shit for a good while now. We are bad human beings, anon.

Makes sense to me. Beggars can't be choosers.

Working man: "I just earned $1000 this month, and I spent $800 on expenses, I can buy this figurine I wanted!"

Welfare man: "I got $600 this month and managed to keep my expenses at $500, maybe I will buy this figurine I've wanted for a while."

Working man: "WHAAAT??! How dare you spend MY money on anything other than the BARE NECESSITIES?!? If you are not on the brink of starvation, you have too much!!"

>>4759589

I was thinking of her children, shithead.

>>4759590
hahaha same here.

>>4759599
As if that woman cares about her children. She'll just keep lying on her back with her legs spread.

>>4759552
Helping run their online games, apparently. I can't really draw, write, or program, so I probably won't be able to do much work making games. They said stuff about planning in-game events and making sure things run smoothly and whatnot. Maybe I'll get to ban trolls from the server or something.

>>4759562
>>4759542
Thanks for the support bros.

>>I don't even seek an emotional or sexual relationship from life
This.

>Taxes
>My money
I don't think you get it. YOU don't actually pay that money, because it never belonged to you in the first place, you were never going to receive it. It's actually paid by your employer, it just falls through your hands temporarily because that's how the system works. If we didn't pay taxes, employers would use that as an excuse to pay us that much less. You know that, right?

>>4759589
Normalfag logic. Woman = pitiable, deserves help even if she got herself in shit. Mental disorders = luxury problem.

I like how that normalfag got told earlier in the thread. Stupid fag.

I'm not a NEET because my parents are dead.

It's not always like this. I've been in several threads that had a lot of vocal "MY TAX MONEY!" whiners.

But they're okay with most of it going to a military which can't even quell civil unrest in some backwater country. Go figure.

>>4759628
Which one?

>>4759518
Funny. I don't much care about any of those things. If my money's going towards making you people's lives easier, then that makes me feel a little better about having to pay it in the first place.
Starving mothers with four children shoudln't have so many children in the first place, though I can understand why they would need the money. As for building bridges and roads, arming the military, and putting people on the moon, I couldn't care less about any of that shit. You want to put man on the moon? You can do it without my money, I don't see how it benefits me in any way. You want to fix the roads? That's fine by me, but just don't use my money to do it. I don't use the damn roads, so why the hell should I pay my money to keep them in good shape?
But if my money's going towards helping out people in a similar situation as me, then I can feel a little better. If my money's helping you guys in any way, then I'm happy it's actually doing some good for a change. The people in the outside world can care for themselves, but you and me can't. If we're getting by on each other's support, then it makes us feel more like a family, don't you think? And if we're getting by on the money of the people from the outside, then that's good, too. It's not like they need all that extra money anyway, is it?

Long story short, I'm glad my money's going towards helping you guys, instead of greedy bastards who don't really need it.

I've always liked taking it easy ever since I was a child. I don't know why. I stayed home from school a lot when I was younger and I'd often fantasize about the days when I was finally finished with school and could lounge around all day.

>>4759664
You're warming my cold heart tripfag ;_;

>>4759654
>a military which can't even quell civil unrest in some backwater country
Yeah, that's not actually why our military is there.

>>4759664
I don't think you actually pay taxes.

>>4759664
I got a warm feeling inside. Thanks man.

>>4759637
Of coarse you're not a NEET, you fight crime.

>>4759114
>>4759119

where is this list from ive never seen it before ?

This thread introduced me to the phrase NEET, but it seems id be one, since im a shut in (yes im new to /jp/ )

>>4759681
Everyone who receives income pays taxes. Even I, who receives welfare, pay taxes.

Learn how the system works before you criticize it.

>>4759664
>I don't use the damn roads, so why the hell should I pay my money to keep them in good shape?

Well, you actually do unless you grow your own food.. Food will get more expensive for everyone if road transport becomes more "bumpy" especially for food that can be damaged while being transported

>>4759692
brace yourself.

>>4759692
welcome

I just applied for welfare the other day, food stamps.

Office was full of niggers. ;_;

>>4759679
Then I sure as fuck wonder why it's there at all.

You spend the most money of any country, the money of ALL OTHER COUNTRIES COMBINED on military, yet Osama and his cronies, who get by on beat-up AK47s and have to blow themselves up to do any damage, are owning you guys hardcore.

An investment well spent!

NEET here, my advice is play the stock market/investment market with whatever you can get from disability/unemployment. I've lived comfortably for about 5 years like this.

>>4759692
NEET - Not in Employment, Education or Training.
Hikikomori - Social recluse.

Though not many people seem to understand the difference. Most hikikomoris are NEETs, but not all NEETs are shut-ins. There you go, you learned something new.

I too, don't like talking to people. In my free time I like to stay inside. This one time at my job, my coworker asked for a stapler and I was too scared to answer. Does that mean I'm a NEET too?

>>4759692
A NEET isn't necessarily a shut in. A NEET is someone without a job and not in education.

>>4759664
>John Smith

>>4759664
If it didn't go to NEETs and Mexicans, it wouldn't go anywhere better either. It's not like the government would ever invest a single dime on anything really important, like say the educational system. Faggots probably just steal most of it, or dump it into the military or some shit.

>>4759713
No, if you don't meet the Not in Employment, Education or Training requirement, you're not a NEET, simple. There is no "somewhat NEET" or "I have NEET tendencies", you are one or you're not.

Why don't most of you seek counseling? There are places that send doctors to your home if the case is that severe. At least you can be provided medication or sent to a place where you can socialize comfortably. It's better than relying on someone or another faulty system.

>>4759715

if your a shut in, its highly unlikely you have any employment or training, but if your a NEET your not always a shut in, but i think most people in the context of the internets classify NEETs as shut ins with no work or training.

>>4759708
They're not "owning us". We're not trying "to win" anything. We're there to establish ourselves in a region which is vital to the global economy. We're not going to leave anytime soon. There is no mission, we're only hanging around to keep a solid foothold in middle east. We've never really left there.

>>4759735

I am in psycho therapy, but it takes a fucklong time, years, so in the meantime....

>>4759735
We may complain about being this way, but in reality we also don't want it to change and/or are too scared to change.

>>4759739
I hope..

>>4759735
>>4759529 here, if I had a way to live comfortably without a job I would quit any job in a heartbeat. I think most NEETs on /jp/ have found a way to get by and are enjoying themselves, am I wrong?

>>4759708

do you have any idea why we're in either iraq or afghanistan? i mean, really?

open a fucking newspaper, we're not even fighting a war. it's a conflict and the military is there so it does not spread to neighbouring countries like pakistan, india, iran and ultimately to the rest of the world. look at the two bombs that blew up in moscow today...it was from two female suicide bombers from some shit hole muslim province in russia. thats the reason why we're fighting, so the planet does not turn into a giant islamic nation. take a look at the demographics of europe the past few years, the arab population is rising at high rates, and bringing with it crime and poverty.

>>4759729
That's what I wanted to show with my post. I guess it wasn't obvious enough. Most people in this thread aren't NEETs or don't even understand what it means.

>>4759739
Right, some new excuse. Now you just wanted to hang out with the locals there, whatever. And "vital to the global economy"? Man, talk about living in the past. Oil is going to be of little to no importance in 20 years. Of course America is going to miss the boat again, as you have with the economic crisis which anyone but Americans could see coming.

>>4759752
Makes you wonder why we can't just kill all the Muslims and be done with it, doesn't it?

>>4759735
Yes, I see a psychiatrist. He is so busy I can only get an appointment for an hour every 3 months.

You can probably see why we aren't instantly cured.

>>4759756
It's okay, I got what you were saying. I was about to reply to >>4759729 with something like "No, if you don't meet the understanding sarcasm on the internet requirement, you're not a 4channer, simple." But then I looked at another window or something and forgot.

>>4759758
>Oil is going to be of little to no importance in 20 years
Right. They said that 20 years ago too. I don't think you have a single clue how international politics actually work. We're not hanging out dumbass. We're there to keep our hands all up in their pockets since those fuckheads are sitting on top of one of the most valuable resources in the world at this moment. That's why we're a powerful nation. Powerful nations do that stuff. Send me an email when you develop your perpetual motion machines and are powering everything by cold fusion. Until then we'll just be over here continuing to be one of the most influential nations in the world.

i never went outside all that much as a kid until i moved when i was in 11th grade since i lived in a shithole trailor complex, they even had to wipe out the land there because of all the drug trafficking and because 2-3 guys were murdered in the area so you figure i was surrounded by retarded thugs and sluts and barely could go to other friend's houses and vice versa

i pretty much always had to fend for myself, i mean, i consider myself pretty damn lucky to be the way i am right now based on environmental circumstances

school was pretty much the same, surrounded by assholes and retards and whores since i was within walking distance the schools i went to

i could probably talk to people normally still, but i never understood the drive or interest to interact with people so i've avoided it and probably don't need that

i've only been a neet for a year, it's been alright, but i keep being harassed to get a job so it will come to that

>>4759735

A NEET or hikikomori does not necessarily seek out a normal life.

Actually, first, ask yourself, what is life? You're born, raised, educated and depending on your education level, you find a job, work it for the next 40 years until you have enough saved up to retire, slowly rot away, and become nothing more than a tombstone in the ground, once again forgotten in 1000 years time when another civilization digs us up and sticks our bodies in museums.

You see, life is essentially all but pointless. This is not a bad thing, per se, but this lack of meaning to life causes people like us to not care. We haven't given up; most of us don't have any set dreams. Okay, I'm sure we'd all like to be astronauts or millionaires, who wouldn't. But what we don't want is a dead end job, slaving away for decades of our lives to make other people richer, so that when our expiration date comes, we can hope to have enough money that we can retire. We have what we have, and we do what we do. We're comfortable living a solitary life. It's not even lonely, since loneliness is all but subjective. We're a part of a society of individuals who are just like us, a society that exists in the digital world, and who's existence may seem bleak to most, but is more than comfortable for us.

We exist in the internet; it's the only place we have a name and identity. There is nothing wrong with this.

>>4759752
>the military is there so it does not spread to neighbouring countries like pakistan, india, iran and ultimately to the rest of the world.
You're deluding yourself if you think you are actually preventing anything. Muslims have long since gained a foothold in those countries.

>look at the two bombs that blew up in moscow today...it was from two female suicide bombers from some shit hole muslim province in russia.
This is so funny, because it exemplifies why you are not winning: you don't understand any of the reasoning behind their attacks. "some shithole muslim province" lol. The Chechen terrorism has been in Russia forever. You really think this stuff is new to them? lolol

>thats the reason why we're fighting, so the planet does not turn into a giant islamic nation. take a look at the demographics of europe the past few years, the arab population is rising at high rates, and bringing with it crime and poverty.
Well, yeah, they are a problem, but it's obvious your method isn't helping much.

I'd rather they just all stay in their sandbox and kill each other if they want to so badly.

>>4759758

Please please please attend a fucking day college course on politics.

Do you know how many billions of dollars nations around the world spend to exert influence in other nations? What do you think WW2, Korea, Vietnam and the entire Cold War were? It was nothing but a decades long pissing contest between the USA and Russia. Both wanted as many allies as possible, so they invaded countries via proxy wars and implemented democracy and communism everywhere they could.

>>4759795
>we'll just be over here continuing to be one of the most influential nations in the world.
So you admit you are really just on a power trip and you care more about being "in charge" than actually helping needy people.

That's some fine Christian morals you got there, son.

>>4759810
You Americans are so paranoid, it's funny.

"We have to get weapons, everybody is out to get us!!!" while the only reason they are is because you are stocking yourself and making it seem like you want to control them (and you end up proving them right!)

>>4759749
Sometimes I'll feel like I'm wasting my life away. Like I'm no good, or that trash like me doesn't deserve to live. But then if I don't deserve to live, who does?
It's then that I realize, I DO deserve to live. I deserve to live my life however I want, and I choose to live the way I do. I couldn't go back and become a "regular, contributing member of society" even if I wanted to, so why bother trying? I'm comfortable with the life I have, and all of you should be, too. I take pride in what I am, because it's my decision to live this way. Sometimes depression gets me down, makes me feel worthless. But that's not true at all. We're not worthless. We're not trash. And we're certainly not "outcasts of society". Those of us who choose to live this way, we should be proud of our decision. We should live without regretting our choice, without hating ourselves.
Me, and you, who choose to live our lives the way we do, should face forward with our head held high. We should be proud of what we are, we shouldn't regret our decisions. You say you don't have any friends? I'm your friend. And you're my friend. And /jp/ is my family, my home. I'll bitch and moan, and complain and argue with you guys, but in the end you're the closest thing to a family I've got. But I'm fine with that. I wouldn't have you guys any other way.
Never change, /jp/. You're absolutely perfect the way you are.

>>4759801
It's only a matter of time before the world is changed because of exactly this. You can't keep on expecting people to slave away and be tortured only to make the ruling class richer. There won't be a horrific revolution- it'll be completely silent.

I would care if I could summon up the will to. But all this shit can conjure up in me anymore is apathy. No one will care anymore.

>>4759815
Faggot please, do you think there's a government in the whole goddamn world that gives half a shit about needy people? I thought I was a hippy, but you're just flat-out disassociated from reality. If you're not in charge, somebody else is, and you're a candidate to be their bitch. That is how the world works. I wish it wasn't, but it is. We are straight-up hypocrites, you better believe it, but it's only because we have to invent excuses for our behavior to keep the international media off our backs. You also seem to think we're the only nation pulling these kinds of stunts; we are NOT.

my problem is that im like that but im good looking, I hate when my relatives ask me when they are gonna see my gf, they think someone that looks good must be very popular and have girlfriends, but no me

>>4759833
Ehh? I thought you worked, with that big taxes post a while ago. But nevermind.

We're far from a family though. Just because we're the same, in the same situation, doesn't mean I love you, tripfag.

>>4759801
Shit bro, can I save that for future copypasta use?

>>4759840
You seem to think that the only way the world can survive is by continuously pushing other people down.

That's kike bullshit son, don't buy into it. Normal people don't torture and kill other people, no matter what. That's why we have so many NEETs here. Don't lump me in with you.

>>4759849
What are you, a Marxist?

>>4759840
>I thought I was a hippy
American thinking he's a hippy = considered right-wing extremist in Europe.

I also laugh at when you people accuse Obama of "socialism". He's so far from a socialist it's not even funny.

>>4759801
I understand where you're coming from; I just asked that out of experience. The longer you remain like that, it progressively gets worse. I didn't want to stay inside and do nothing, or receive Social Security, because I felt that I didn't deserve it when there are people far worse off -- but I lacked confidence. The only problem was that I have major depressive disorder which came and went for 9 years because my family refused to disclose that it was rampant through the lineage.

Honestly, I still think it's better if you find something to support yourself. I'm sure there are things you want to do outside of four walls.

>>4759852
I'm just being logical. Why would anyone need to take over the world, or be super rich? What's the point?

If you just want to live a happy life, find love, contribute to your community, have some kids, whatever-- you don't need to murder anyone to do it.

>>4759815

protip: yes, every powerful nation in the world has military bases in other, lesser developed nations. take africa for example. ignoring all the wars, the continent is an extremely resource and labour rich place. there are trillions upon trillions of dollars of natural resources and billions of people we could use for factories etc. we'll, right now china, usa, and russia all have multi-billion dollar missions going on there. the objective? nothing, other than to maintain our influence in politics and finances. because in 40 years time when that place becomes more than just a bunch of red dirt, we're going to want as many negroid friends as possible. the longer we stay there, the more we'll have.

Social phobia, being poor, and no one willing to hire me.

>>4759875


now, a history of afghanistan. since the 1970s the place has been in a constant state of near anarchy. the soviets wanted to implement socialist values and use the country as a military base, so to speak. however, the us didn't like this, since it went against democratic values (and ultimately their power). so, the CIA spent billions training, equipping and funding the mujadeen so they would weaken the soviets. they eventually left, but being the tribal culture they are, the war lords wanted nothing to do with the us either. fast forward past a few years of anarchy, then the taliban, then the ISAF invasion. here its 2010 and now that russia wants nothing to do with the middle east, the US wants it for its resources and political allies. if they can remain friendly with pakistan, afghanistan and iran, they might have a chance if iran goes nuclear. however, if it the US were to lose its influence over the arab population, we'd end up with lots of insurgent groups becoming much more friendly with iran, and that becomes a security threat for the west. so, when afghanistan finally becomes a functional country, we'll not only have a huge business market there, we'll have total military dominance in the region, while the chinese and russians won't have any.

real world politics is almost like a game of civilization, its a lot uglier than you think.

for the record, im not american, im canadian and we also have a military mission there. however, we're in the country for more humanitarian reasons than military, though we do fight for control of towns, cities etc

>>4759869
Well, there are sadly just assholes out there. Usually these people have mental disorders. You see them on /jp/ too, people saying they like to hurt people because it makes them feel better about themselves. Sadly, unless we get rid of these people, we cannot live life as worrylessly as you describe.

>>4759833
Well spoken, even though people here would like to disagree, we are a community, and we are a family. We're all we have.

>>4759824

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Africa_Command

nobody is being paranoid. did you ever take a fucking history lesson? every civilization or nation that ever existed grew by exerting political and military influence across the globe. be it the soviets, romans, prussians, or british.

>>4759885
not the guy you are responding to, but wouldn't 'getting rid of these people' make us just as bad s them? I would much rather educate these people instead of brushing them under the carpet. But I also realize that this is far from possible.

>>4759885
I'm sorry if I'm being a bit unclear-- I'm not describing a utopia. I'm just saying that logically, the masses will not move in the direction we are today.

There will always be the type of fucked up people you speak of, you're absolutely correct.

The problem now is that they're the ones running things.

>>4759883
You're not American, but you do buy into their bullshit.

The only reason Iran wants nukes in the first place is BECAUSE Americans and Jews are controlling their regions.

Now I'm far from pro-Muslim, but they certainly didn't just get up and say "goddamn, I fucking hate those Americans even though I never had any problems with them". They feel the way they do for a REASON.

>>4759885
>people saying they like to hurt people because it makes them feel better about themselves.
But all humans are like that, no matter how well they try to hide it, it's instinct.
We need someone we can see as lower than ourselves, in order to feel better than others. To feel like we're not complete trash at the bottom of everything.

>>4759901
Haha, nicely said.

>>4759894
"Let's educate them"-- isn't that what the Soviets promised?ww

Not that guy, I don't think getting rid of them will work either. But education is impossible. In the scope of things, they make up such a small amount of the population that they shouldn't matter anyway.

>>4759914
But if that's the case, then even if the other countries leave, that hostility is there. What would happen if that goes unchecked?
