Is being NEET the new hipster?

>>1178990

leave if you don't have anything to contribute.

>>1179304
You do realize the irony of posting this sentence in a NEXT thread, don't you?

>>1179330
NEET*

Fucking autocorrect

>>1179304

for a neet you sure do give an abnormal amount of fucks about what people say

23 year old NEET, living with parents, for the last 6 months, with good academic record.

Its depressing as fuck, i miss being a student so bad. Friends all work during week, only time i socialise is at weekends, spend the week trying to find work but failing because of the no experience problem

who isn't like thi these days? I wish i had one good friend tohugh...

No money no problems.

bump to talk to other shut ins due to crushing loneliness.

bump for more neets, none of them are ever on these days.

I always hear Britfags talk about the dole. Is it really possible to just live off money the government give you. Here in America the only people on welfare are usually disabled, drug addicts, or just the incurably poor, and if you try and get a job you loose your government check, which barely pays for anything anyway. In movies or shows you always see clean white people "signing on", but I'm guessing that's just fictional glorification of the lazy youth lifestyle, I'm assuming it's basically much worse in reality, and attracts the same dregs and undesirables.

That being said, I don't work. I live at home with my parents. I do go to community college (which my parents pay for), and plan on transferring to a legitimate university (which they will also pay for). My grandparents just died and left me a reasonable sum of money, and my parents are relatively wealthy, so if they died I'd be set for a while. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones but meh.

>>1181011
Yeah, I mean you have to look for a job whilst you're on it but it's incredibly easy to just pretend to be looking for a job.

i'm all of that, hit the nail on the head for me as a neet.

I hate NEETs. I don't conisder myself NEET, I'm actually poor for real, well almost. I will be when I live in a cardboard box though. Right now I'm studying hobos, bankruptcy history and I'm following garbage digging, the way of the hobo. This is why I hate NEETs that had 5 jobs and lost them all, pizza delivery assistant burgerflipper PAPER SORTER MOTHERFUCKER. I'm actually poor for real unlike all these faker NEETs. FUCK YOU NEETS

So my question is, how good are my chances of becoming poor for real?

25yr old, 4 years NEET.
Not much more needs to be said.

Have you guys watched (or read) Welcome to the NHK? It's one of my favorite anime, and the novel was pretty interesting, too. Can you relate to the overall depressed mood of the anime (even though it's kinda comical)?
What's your favorite media to escape life in (if movies, state your favorite movie. If games, your favorite game, etc).

>Didn't fuck around in high school.
>Got scholarships.
>Got Pell Grant.
>Went to college. Didn't fuck around. Went to class. Took my work seriously.
>Got AA degree.
>Transferred to university.
>Still there, still working on Biology degree. Full time student.
>Can't find time or energy to work.
>Poor as hell. Lucky to eat one meal a day.
>Barely manage to scrape by.

It really sucks. Being on campus with an empty stomach, watching all the kids with their coffee in class, eating at the cafeteria, buying snacks and soda at the vending machine.

>>1182882

do you consider yourself unintelligent, have no friends on or offline, no girlfriend, no social skills, etc?

inb4 a bunch off normals come in and ruin it

I have dependant personality disorder and can't write a resume or cover letter. I have nobody to help me, and am too embarrassed to ask my few friends for help.
My mother use to write my essays in highschool, that's why i'm so retarded now.
I don't see much of a future for myself...

>>1183024

At least when you finish debt free, you'll have no problem taking with student loan companies ruining your life and credit. And your degree will have some meaning, unlike the shit ton of liberal art majors graduating right now.

Do an apprenticeship in a trade. Chippy, sparky, brickie, whatever.

Learn. Get Fit. Get Paid.

Problem?

>>1182969
hey, do you know if there's a NHK-type series?

currently re-seeing it, and i dont like that void that it leaves when it ends...

(/a/ fags couldnt deliver...)

>>1183904
AnoHana if you want a neet/baaaaawwwwwwwwwww the hell OHMIGOOODDITSOSAD anime. It's good, though.

I think my being a shut-in is something that builds gradually and the longer I stay with my parents the more likely it is I won't move out. Like a snowball it starts innocuously enough but over time it gets rolling into a formidable obstacle. I feel as though I am waiting for someone to 'rescue' me and love me and until that happens I will stay in my backroom with my Cheez-Its and Coca-Cola.

pic related - pretty much my physical frame and desk area

bumpan for more neets to talk to, supported by my parents.

>>1183058
>do you consider yourself unintelligent, have no friends on or offline, no girlfriend, no social skills, etc?

Just came back to look at this thread.
Note: I said 4 years NEET, not currently a NEET.

>unintelligent
I've only ever received A's in University classes.
Started up again last semester, all A's.
No, I don't consider myself unintelligent.

>have no friends on or offline
I have many "friends" online and live with a life-long friend currently. Have various friends.

>no girlfriend,
Relationships are too much of a problem. Anything that isn't self-perpetuating or forced to do is too much effort to maintain. I'm REALLY bad at committing to maintenance of ANYTHING. Well, except my grades I suppose.

>no social skills, etc
My social skills are fine. I just don't usually have the desire to talk to people IRL because lack of compatible interests.

faggots, i love being a neet. get on my level.

I dropped out of school when I was 13, and sat in my room until I was 22, in which I got a job (of my own accord.. wanted money). Before I even dropped out of school, around age 10 I skipped school about 25-30% of the time. Wasn't really a whole lot of parenting going on in my life.

Been working at the same computer shop for about 4 years now. I'm living life pretty good for how much I dicked around to be honest.. no education at all and I'm working full time @ $22/hr.

All the education in the world doesn't matter when you don't know how to read people and be charismatic.

I have had all the normal things at some point, but do not have any normal obligations currently.

I really wish I could have been able to get family life to work out.

>have to call to check if i got job
>make up 2 stories in head, in first i get job, in second don't
>replay them several times with different outcomes
>I'M READY, LETS DO THIS
>call company, hr answers
>tells me they haven't decided yet
>start replying to her according to second story
>i say "i see, goodbye"
>SHE KEEPS TALKING
>"I SEE GOODBYE HAHAHAHA" and disconnect
>spaghetti erupts from orifices

>>1178974

Oh please, it really isn't that hard. If you want a job:

Decide what field you would like to be in - what are you interested in and good at? Computers is an acceptable answer.

Get some skills and maybe qualifications - this doesn't mean go to uni. If previous answer computers, then get some old machines, run them as linux boxes and learn to sysadmin the fuck out of them. Or learn to program, build websites, whatever.

Get your CV right. It might look weak at first, but that's the price of doing shit all with your life. Oh well, as long as it is gramatically correct and spelled properly, and formatted like a hot bitch.

Apply to some jobs. Go onto recruitment sites, newspapers, whatever. Make a big list. Each one gets a covering letter (email) and attached CV - just bash a quick email along the lines of "Dear Sir/Madam, saw you were recruiting, interested, I want job because blah blah, attached is my CV, please take a quick look. Call me!"

Now apply to as many jobs as possible. If all steps followed correctly, you'll get some interviews. For that, ARCANINE MMMMMMMMMI can no longer help you.

>>1186388
where im supposed to find computers in my basement without any money
just fuckoff retard

>>1186388

I am doing this but with no luck. The majority of jobs require experience in something and those that dont are hugely competitive.

I made it to interview stage twice for a bar job but got rejected.

It really isnt that easy at the moment

>>1186388
It's not easy to get jobs. What, do you have a job cannon or something, fuckwad?

>>1186496

To the Job Cannon!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

I see someone made a new NEET thread.

Good job OP. Was this the only productive thing you did all day?

>>1182969
Hikikomoris aren't really the same as NEETs, though.

Having connections and being charismatic will get you further than any university degree. But as a 26 year old who never had a single friend and zero acquaintances you're pretty much doomed to being a NEET.

>>1178974
i dont see any reason for anybody to be a neet. i mean go fucking work half-pay at a factory or something. cuz when your parents kick the bucket, its game fucking over man.

>NEET
>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXxLCGcymK8

Go do some volunteer work

then use that as work experience on your cv

sort your fucking life out god damn

>>1186417

Freecycling, rubbish dump or some places even have groups that give out old shit hardware free.

>>1186523

how do you live your life man? I feel like i am following your path.

>>1186559

I'm pretty content with just having the basics in life and being left alone. Society expects us to rack up shitloads of debt so we can buy that big house and the fast car and to keep that 5/10 girl for a mediocre lay once in a while.

I'm just sick of it man, the only escape from society is to become a NEET or off ourselves.

>>1186590

that didn't really answer my question, i meant it as what are you doing as of now as a neet?

>>1186635

Typically awake all night on my PC and sleeping during the daytime. I don't really do much since I hardly leave my darkened room.

>>1186670

well i can safely say i am the same, want to keep in touch about life over my shut in email? It's in the field.

Not Educated, Efficacious, or Talented.

>>1186670

still there?

>>1186817
He might not be, but I am.

>>1186821

and you must be the original poster?

>>1186848
No, just a NEET poster. But hey, that has to count for something, right?

well i'm 24 and the same as op, bro i know that feel... well some months ago i began exercising and taking care of myself, but then i fell in love with my cousin.. now im very depressed...

>>1186886

i need to ask...explain yourself?

>>1186855

i guess, mind explaining your lifestyle then?

>>1183904
well eden of the east is the other one and genshiken is related someway too..

>>1186893
well i had a marvelous primary and mid school period it was great indeed, and i had friends and i was the cool guy and blah blah... then for some rare circumstances i had to move to another country then i entered into high school and there began my nightmare, my social life become gray, all my class mates were only thinking on girls and stuff, while i was still a kid with no experience in the matter, and all what i had as background themes of conversation was anime and nintendo games, thus i had to suffer all these precious years of my life.. like a loser/alien with no friends.. then i entered to the university and someway improved but the damage done in the previous years was still affecting me.. so i dropped after horrible grades... now i have been like 4 years in a very hikkikomori lifestyle until recently when i began some kind of training with good results but im still far from recovering...

>>1186896
There's not all that much to say. I typically wake up around 7pm, get two hours of cardio, shower, eat, and then spend the rest of the night screwing around /v/ while listening to music. Some days I muster up the will to play videogames or torrent a show that sparks my interest. Also for some reason I typically sleep 10-12 hours and my paranoia has increased. I fear my neighbor's are aware of my existence and that my eclipse drape curtains are not adequate to keep my activities private. I'm currently brainstorming on a way to sound proof my room.

>>1186496
>>1186506
AND FIRE OFF INTO JOB LAND!
WHERE JOB'S GROWN ON JOBBIES!

also i recomend you to look for books or guides to become more confident and defeat that nasty social anxiety... that's what im aiming to but im a great procrastinator too..

>>1186946

do you also have no social skills, no friends, etc?

How goddamn hard is it to do volunteer work, or wash dishes, or sign up at a temp agency and do data entry or some other shit?

I was a NEET for a year and it drove me fucking insane. Now I have a shitty part-time job and a college course, and it's so much better than doing nothing all day.

>>1181011
>I always hear Britfags talk about the dole. Is it really possible to just live off money the government give you

Not really. You have to be applying for several jobs a week to qualify for JSA, and it's fuck-all money anyway. Of course if you're a dumb chav you can just have a dozen kids and get given a shitty council house and never pay any bills, but if you're a 20-something male college dropout then you don't get a penny. And yes, there are plenty of people who are perpetually pregnant because more kids = more money. It's terrifying.

>>1186978
That goes without saying. I think I have a moderate form of social anxiety.

I try to be a bit of a motivational speaker on here whenever I can. I used to be fat, aspie, unsociable, depressed, and worried that I'd never find direction, and through time I became charming, fun, and athletic with an appreciation for life, goals that I'm fixated on, and enough time well spent on women that I never worry myself on it anymore. The first and foremost thing you need to accept is that you are fucked so long as you are convinced you are fucked. You could be a fat, ugly NEET with nothing apparently going for you and still end up having a shitload of success in your life because you convinced yourself to have a shitload of success. You need to make goals, no matter how lofty, and convince yourself that they will be attained. You then must understand that goals are not about destinations so much as roads. This is almost impossible to understand until you've actually traversed said roads. You need to get up and get going, and to do so you need to convince yourself that it's possible to make something out of your life if you do so. So fucking get out there. You're sitting around here moping, but you could just as easily be spending that time moping on checking the classifieds or taking an online course or basically anything else. You have to do something, and you need to stop lying to yourself about what you're capable of.

Ask me anything

here's a suggestion, everyone.
save up your money, buy some pot seeds. there are a lot of sites that will send you a non sketch package with other shit in it so you won't be found out. go to grasscity, take notes. Grow pot, sell, and get paid for getting high.

>>1187016
how i do make the first step...

>>1186946
what the fuck are you doing that's so interesting that they would listen in on your stupid little fap sessions, you narcissist faggot?

>>1187035
If you have to ask me, you're not any closer to making it. As they say, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. Any could sit down with you with a calendar and a notepad and select possible jobs for you to do, arrange a diet, pick out speed dating events, etc., but unless you actually decide "I'm going to do this" and get up, leave your house, and do it, it's not going to happen. You need to talk with yourself and ask how much you want long term success more than short-term comfort, and then you need to demolish the idea of short-term comfort altogether. Call your ISP and cancel your internet, pull your computer out of the wall, have your parents refuse to let you inside from 12-6 pm every day. Eventually once your mind accepts that what you want in the long term is worth more than what you have in the short term, it will be more natural to get moving than to sit still.

>>1187057
eh, fuck it. i'm just going to kill myself all that takes too long. cya on the other side

>>1186997

same here, want to keep in touch over email? It's in the field for shut ins.

>>1187057
thanks, i've thought of that but its not easy.. i have weak willpower

i was a neet 3 years ago.
i am now in college, still living with my parents, and without a girlfriend.
live is grand

Call up staffing agencies for jobs. Try to do data entry or something. Perfect for robots. No human interaction, plus on the computer all day anyway. Pays ten to eleven dollars an hour.

>>1187087
I'll say you do. You're not getting anywhere until you decide you want to prove yourself wrong.

If it helps though, shit gets easier with time. At first you don't think you can do anything, then you start to feel better about yourself but don't know what to do with your road to accomplishment, and then it gets to the point where eventually you feel like you can't fail and you just do everything you want to do. It's a great feeling when you see something you want to do, and say to yourself "Nothing's stopping me" and then you just up and make it fucking happen. I can't tell you how many times I cringe at 4chan stories about failed attempts to rope in women when any time a girl drops me a sign and I think she's worth my time I just grab her up.

jsfysyjyxjryj

can't even tell if i exist or not.

>people trying to help us out

no one asked.

>>1184050

Yes, it's like a snowball. I've been a NEET since 2001. It's like a trap that you can't get out of.

In fact, I'm too old to be classified as a NEET now. A NEET is 16-25. Now in my late 20's, I am firmly in "Lost generation" territory.

I would be too embarassed to apply for a job now because they would ask me what I've been doing for the last 10 years. And if I told them I'd spent a large part of that time on a website called 4chan, they just wouldn't understand.

Fellow neet here. Im 20 years old with no job, took me 2 years to get my GED. At least im social kind of. I have 3 good friends who i see when they're not at work or school. I feel like my friends and family are dissapointed in me i was the kid who could do anything and everyone believed in but now im the poster boy for wasted talent. Its fucking depressing sitting on 4chan alk day while people are out living their lives. I've always thought about suicide since i was a little kid and it consumes me nowadays. I know im not gonna be here much longer so im trying to enjoy my friends and family till I think its time

>>1189499

do you not even have social skills, never leave the house, no friends on or off, and no relationship with your family?

>>1189563

Last time I left the house was 4 months ago. I cannot have friends. Not possible. They would ask what I've been doing all this time and if they found out I've spent all this time on 4chan, I would be a laughing stock. So I stay hidden in my room out of shame. At least I am safe here.

>>1189642

want to talk more about how you came to be a shut in? My email is in the field, I'll reply with my story as well.

You NEET guys, are you learning anything productive?

I mean if you have all this free time you could try to start internet businesses or learn useful skills like programming.

Highly recommend not spending it all fapping and watching anime.

I'm about to just settle down into being a neet for the long haul.

Being 22 with a single mother I think at some point I'll be kicked out as she can't even support herself, much less both of us.

So my plans now are "live as a hermit for as long as possible, then die." I'm estimating somewhere around 27.

>>1189869
Don't know about my fellow neets, but me personally, I would love to that but serious lack of motivation is a side-effect of being neet.

>>1189825

what do you mean by my email is in the field?

>>1189929
This
I lost interest after all of 5 minutes
Then again I haven't tried programming yet, do you have any recommended places to learn from?

>>1189825
It would be quicker if you just posted your "story" on here. Oprah..

>>1189954

meaning if you want to continue the conversation about this click on the darkened anonymous text and see if it pops up.

>>1189966

too much to write out really.
blox

>>1189499
just lie im 20 i just applied to college if i get in im just gonna lie like a motherfucker about what ive been doing for the past 4 years/ maybe get a job

trurturt

>>1190243

what are you going to say?
sfsfsf

>>1190243
It's OK for you, you are still young, only 20 years old. Only been out of the loop for 4 years.

I've been outside of society for 10 years. the world has completely changed in that time. I do not know the cultural references of people now. So I cannot lie. It will be too obvious that I have no life experience and have been living in a time warp for the last 10 years.

>>1190315

i'll say i was a labourer for 2 years worked with a guy doing driveways/shit like that his company went out of buisness blah blah blah i'll work on this story later

>>1190358

Same with me man, i don't even read the newspaper or keep up with my own politics, how about yourself? What are your hobbies?

>What are your hobbies? sdksdlkslks

None. No hobbies.
Unless r9k counts as a hobby.

>>1190487

Heh, i guess it can, do you normally lurk or post?

>>1190502
Just lurking mostly.

>>1190606

the only time when i post is to talk to former shut ins, are you sure you don't want to keep in contact?

what about making the same post every thursday at 16:00 to update our statuses...

>>1190812

why thursday and 16:00?

>>1190812
cuz that's my favorite day and that's the time when i wake up..

>>1190964

i hate to ask but why is thursday your favorite day? I feel like i'm getting trolled.

i know all of the feels in this thread.

how are your social skills neets?

>>1190964

did you leave the thread or did you troll me?

osfiiosifkosf

>>1179377
>Graduate school, MBA or MSIS.

It'll get your foot in the door, and you can probably do a good internship.

>>1190964

somehow, i think it's a reference to something...

i've been this way for the last couple years, i'm use to it.

i doubt it but any of the guys still in here from when i talked to them earlier?

bump for more neets to talk to and laggy computer

what did you neets do for your weekend? What will you be doing this week? blox

>>1178974
The same fucking thread. The same fucking day.

I'm tired, arcanine.

Just wait until your parents stop paying for you.
hahaha oh man, will you realize how bad you're fuckin up.

I just got an internship. I work for free so I still have to cling to the underbelly of my parents. Does this count? I have a masters degree but nobody wants to actually pay me for work I want to do (I.e. not bar work)

any of the neets in here that i was talking with still here?

is just horrible that feel when you think about these guys with your same age, that are billions of light years ahead in social skills, money and girls.. while we lose every precious second thinking on how the fuck we became this..

Anyone know of any good self-help books for us NEETs?

>>1197007
i have this book "7 Little Habits That Can Change Your Life, and How to Form Them" but I procrastinate too much, so im unable to read it yet

I'm a neet and I'm thinking of going on a month long camping/ road trip. I just want to travel for a decent amount of days and have lots of time to myself on the road, do some hiking etc.

How is this possible with no money?
I guess I could pawn some stuff but I don't think I'll make enough dollars for gas and food.
I wonder how homeless people do it.

>>1197141
i always thought of it.. look for some books, there are few ones, you have to look for these based in how to survive in any situation, how to leave your parent's house forever and stuff like that..

truyrtyrty

how close are you guys towards your parents? What do they think of your lifestyles?

i've never had a job in my life, anyone else here similar?

any of the people i talked to still in here from last night?

I'm 25. Haven't done shit since I graduated with my MSc in October 2010. Went through a really fucked up recluse stage (still going through it).

Suddenly want to change. Filling out a grad job application right now actually. This is literally my first step after months of apathy. Even filling it out I don't have much hope but damn I feel like I have to do something.

I really want out of this now man.

I wish Demon's Souls and Dark Souls were never made.

>>1200007

well, have fun being social and making friends.

fuck

how many of you neets don't even talk to your family other than asking questions like "what's for dinner?" etc?

>>1200067

i wish you had never been made

>>1200920
Im only saying it cuz DS consumes all my time. I love the games too damn much and they're not exactly providing me with any irl skills

>>1201038

what skills do you even have in real life if you don't mind me asking?

I've been living off a rather large inheritance
even with a very liberal spending budget it should last me another ten years, what I'm worried about is what if the homeless guy I pay to bring me groceries stops coming.

>>1201269
Well I have two degrees (BSc and MSc) both from top five UK universities and straight A's at A Level. Also have two internships under my belt, decent friends, not a virgin. Plus I'm not bad looking and my dick is 7.5 inches. I guess that counts for something.

>>1201329

>top uni

and you really think this matters because...?

bump for my own interest on neeets livees..ii

what are all of your daily lives shut in neets?

>people posting who're in school or working

you aren't neet, shut the fuck up.

bumping out of crushing lonely neetness.

lol saddest cunts on /r9k/

Someone do a shop of the "That's Real Fuckin' Neato" Bert thing that says "That's Real Fuckin' NEET" and Bert is frowning, wearing a bathrobe, alone in a messy room.

Nope.

I went for an interview on Monday, got offered the job 4 hours later via text. And I have another job offer if I want that too.

Currently waiting to see which offers me more money / better location. And looking at others to see if there's anything better still.

well bros remember thursday 16:00 we will post our upgrades... come on we have to make this a site to improve ourselves..

>>1208416

Where you the guy i was talking to about staying in contact? I don't do anything other than 4chan, what are you doing to improve yourself?

are any of you still in the thread? I want to talk to you...

>>1200007

Just got one myself and id be happy to work for free at the minute. Good luck man, I hope it works out for you.

Im stuck in the constant roundabout of not having enough experience to get a job and not having a job to gain experience, its just a vicious circle I feel I will never be able to get out of. People keep telling me to keep trying and I just don't have the energy for it. Its just rejection after rejection.

>>1209348
im here still bro

>>1208441
yeh, it shouldn't be bad to keep in contact, to improve i'm starting a training routine, it was incredibly hard at first, for example i tried to run a whole lap to a baseball stadium and i couldn't not even was able to last more than a minute.. the thing is i'm not fat, but all the contrary :/ ...well then i forced me to achieve more and keep improving first i reached 3 minutes running, then 5minutes then 5min running+2walking+3running+2walking.... then after a month im able to run 15min + 2min walking + 5min running (and now i walk all the way from my house to the stadium [2.7km]) and now im beginning some abs workouts at nites, with good results... but the change is very hard.. i've noticed that i get very nervous when im walking on an open street just for the fact there are people watching me, i'm afraid i got social anxiety :s so it will be hard but not impossible..

>>1209560

which one were you from what I quoted? why do you want to change?

Why are you all so eager to get back out there and involved in society? Everybody knows society is unfair as fuck and full of idiots, so why bother?

first one..
i wanna change cuz 5 months ago a cousin moved to the next house, at first i ignored her like the rest of her family, then someday i was sitting near the window when i saw her taking some fruits from a tree, it was great like a natural creature in its environment, i was fascinated and came out and began talking to her, she said me that she used to think i was a madman cuz i don't leave my room, and was surprised when i told her what i used to do erryday.. well the thing is we began to approach to each other.. someday by accident i took her when she was sitting and she fell to my lap and i hugged her that was magic then she returned the hug by holding my arms very tightly, some instinct led me to smell her neck and then a damn idea crossed my mind: i thought "oh no she's my cousin" then after i leave her in her site where she was sat before, i changed all the conversation.... days were passing then some random nite i tried to kiss her.. with no success, her reaction was a smiling face at first, then her face turned sad and she ran away from me.. then again days passed but this time she stopped coming to my house, then a day she returned and little by little i got a bit of her confidence again, i was too scared to declare all my feelings to her personally after what had happened, that's why i wrote various notes on random days and then i found out that im a sort of poet.. hahah.. the thing is she liked some of the stuff but was not enough she rejected me some gray afternoon.. but i know she love me... and as we all know the only way to get her is finding another girl but since i'm a hikkis :( i decided to improve myself in all aspects but it have been the hardest thing i've done in my whole life.. but it works, the thing is i dunno if i'll keep the willpower..

>be a NEET with an online female friend somewhere else
>we're like each other, we talk everyday
>she has a job and school
>I don't
and alas, looking into a mirror except the mirror has more success than me

bumpan for more shut in neets...
bloxann

being hikkikomori or neet is guarantee of master race on /r9k/

any other guys in here from last night?
was starting off decently.

Join the armed forces. Seriously. Even if you get discharged, you'll still have done SOMETHING.

Enjoy your wasted life and youth OP!

>>1212053
do you really think a neet guy (after years and years of ermitage) is prepared physically for that..?
P.D. im gonna be a presidential guard..

how do i remain this way without getting kicked out?

no friends, no life, no problems.
bloxan

>neet

that would be me, i prefer living this way for a reason.

i have a job, but i have no friends and don't talk to my co workers, am i up?

6 going on 7 years, thinking of starting a business which can keep me a float without having to leave my house. Just dunno what, I've got inheritance and living off welfare at the moment.

>>1218058

how is your life in terms of it's social status and friends?

>>1218877
2-3 clingy people online who always get upset if I don't talk to them.

2 People I see like once a year, sometimes keep in contact.

>Be NEET
>Use my time to read books, often travel around the country
>I'm happy
We're all gonna die one day, and I'm going to do what I fucking like.

>>1218908

what do you talk about with all of them and how long can you keep a conversation going?

>>1218969
The clingy ones always drag me into a convo, I get bored but I stay for a reasonable period. Most of them are boring to speak to and get annoying.

The one I know irl I can talk to for ages, but we often end up going quiet after a while.

I can talk for ages, well not as much as I used to but I get real anxious if I'm around somebody too much. I get a bit lonely when I'm by myself but I never get uncomfortable, if I get anxious its not from being alone.

>>1218969
>>1218982
Whoops misread, sorry I'm a bit drunk.

Just depends, sometimes normalfag stuff, sometimes politics.

One friend is extremely conceited, he's fasinated with all the ancient aliens stuff but is obsessed with his masculinity. If something appears even slightly feminine or if he doesn't understand a joke he instantly dismisses it.

The other online friend wants to discuss anime then goes on about trolling even though he doesn't really understand 4chan type culture. In some ways I can relate to him/

Both my irl friends just talk video games, I got one of them into anime (the other does too but hes likes stuff I hate). Or just normalfag shit. q

>>1219004

What do you do all day? Also, if you only see your friends once or twice a year, I don't see how that can be a friend.

>>1219079
I've known one of them since I was 7 and we've kept in contact since. Its a 3hour drive to get to him so not much I can do.

I spend most of my day on 4chan, chatting, watching anime/reading manga or working on a project. Lately I've been messing around with an idea for a novel but nobody seems interested.

to the guy above me, what's it like to be social?

where are all of my friendless neet bros at?

everytime I get close to getting a McJob I self sobotage I'm 22 and I've been secretly prolonging this... because lets face it not working >>> Fucking working
it's going to come to an end one day and I an going to have my soul sucked out

bumpna0suidf90dif9sodfsdfdfsdf

Why don't you kill your self or go on a killing spree suicide, I mean it wouldn't be bad if you was a 'NEET' and had friends and a social life or vice versa, but you have nothing in your life.

are you guys looking to improve yourselves or is this as good as it gets?

>>1221393
neet is as good as it gets, atleast for me

>>1221393
well it seems some of us are trying to improve, the rest are or resigned or enjoying being a neet

>>1221511
>>1221483

what are you two doing as far as life is going?

>>1221590

Well, being a NEET...so basically doing nothing and i have decided to do nothing at all anymore.
I just freeload at my mother's place...

Pretty much empty

>>1221635

I'm living with my parents and older brother, none of them like me, I'm always in my room on the internet. I only answer questions that are "how are you?" or greet them, no serious conversations. you?

>>1221719
Well, if they want to talk to me, it is only about uncomfortable stuff.

But i can still stand on my grounds...and my mother has only 1 freeday a week anyways.
Well, if there is something to talk it is most unpleasant in most of the cases.

I have nothing to talk with them myself.

Actually i have not much to talk about at all, even on the internet.

I am just here.
That's about it.

>>1221807

Same here, want to keep in contact? I also talk to other "neets". in the field if you want to continue.

>>1221852
Not the person you quote, but i have seen you giving your email several times now.
What's your purpose?

>>1221877

that's a very good question, let me think it over.

>>1221807

>freeday

as in what?

i kind of knew he wouldn't reply back. oh well.

i agree with your image op.

>>1222166
As in a day without having to work?
Seriously now,...

>>1222927

Alright, calm down. I was just making you hate me, that's all.

anyone else here underwight?

>>1222927

are you still here fellow neet?
bloxnannd

>is being neet the new hispter

no.

>>1223921
No mean yes in hipster right?

So you guys ARE a bunch of fucking hipsters

in my web design class, we were designing how to put our resume on our site. The professor said that in last year's class, there was a student who said he never had a job. everyone started laughing. I felt so embarrassed because i am the same.

>>1223932

do you want to suck my asshole? bum? shit hole I want you to okay? would you like that? I think you would.

i think i am better off as a neet with no life...

NEET here. I don't want to play the game. I don't know about you, but the prospect of being a pyramid worker doesn't exactly make my neurons quiver with excitement.

bump4324234324

>not nervous

how do you guys cope with the loneliness and depression?

blox

>>1228259
RPGs. Lots and lots of RPGs. Escapism at its most extreme.

>tensay engineers
Sounds like a poorly Americanized anime...

>>1228277

got any good recommendations?
want to get back into rpgs

hey op just remember to inform us about the pic of the next post to keep this shit when it goes 404

I'm in a bad place. No job, a few more semesters and I could have a degree. No high school diploma and I got kicked out of 3 high schools before 9th grade. I don't have a job, I've applied at at least 60 stores and gotten a few interviews but no position. I'm filled with shame that I can't get work. My sister and mom think I'm not trying, I can't let them know I'm trying my hardest and getting nowhere. They're kicking me out in a few days because I have no job. Everyday they give me crap about this and all I can do is agree. So I'm getting kicked out, going to be homeless and that's fine. But if I leave they say my dogs going to the pound. I can survive on the streets, but not with a dog. They got me the dog after I told them not to. I love him too much to let anything happen to him. I have no clue what they want me to do or why they've got to be so spiteful. I'm fine with all of this, let me be the bad guy but leave my dog alone.

I've got a few more applications out, talked to some landscaper who might have a spot for me on a smaller crew. Really interested in farming right now, seems that there's a shortage of farmhands in Alabama. Anybody know how you go about getting a job on a farm? I'm desperate.

bumpnjiugui

I enjoy being a NEET. Eat food, play vidya all day err-day, and then jack off to crazy as fuck fetishes.

My life... is perfect.

>>1230050

how is the relationship with your parents? How are your social skills both on and offline?

Hey guys I'm a 21 year old NEET and ever since I went to /ck/ to learn how to cook as a hobby I already feel better about myself. I'm gonna make some girl happy one day.

how close are you guys with your parents? What do they think of your lifestyle?

>>1230050

That sounds just terrible. Don't you ever get bored of the repetition? If I go too long sitting around the house I get incredibly bored and have to do something different.

>>1230050
And who's winning?
You are, bro!

bumpan for more neets and treats.

i prefer living on my own,welfare.

>>1229720
Guys we have to help this guy out. For the dog.

Do you guys even talk to people on msn etc or is 4chan the extent of your interaction?

>>1235880
man when you''re not walking everyday, your legs get cramped and you start to walk like a fag, also when you got social anxiety you walk pending if other people are watching you, so when i was able to do this again, was great also i love when it's raining..

what are all of you neets doing for your friday and weekend? blox

u89fgu89eg90ikty

I wish I could be NEET.

Would be like a dream to sit around watching anime all day.

Sadly, my parents are very big on me not being a recluse, so I have to try and think of something to do every year.

I've been a NEET for five years, and in those five years I rarely go outside my house - I go without stepping foot outside for months at a time.

I'm a still a teenager.

Is there anybody else my age in the same situation? The only people I see are all like a decade older.

Currently a NEET, but come march I start trade school. Really looking forward to NOT BEING SO FUCKING BORED ALL THE TIME.
20/m btw. I've pretty much switched noon and midnight. I just ate lunch and it's 1:30 in the morning.

>>1237756
Tomorrow I'm going over to my friend's, who is in college, house to vaporize some pot. I'm also getting a new car, selling my old truck, and bottling my first home brewed beer ever.

>>1239815
Sunday I'll probably play video games, surf 4chan and masturbate, like every other day.

>>1180787
Maybe they actually got a job and stopped being parasites to social welfare systems.

NEET fag

leave the house once a fortnight for 10 minutes to sign on at job seekers

and occasionally travel for 3 hours to visit my ~ only friend ~

18 y/o NEET reporting in. I registered for my G.E.D and if I'm lucky, I'll get a call by Stater Bros. to work as a courtesy clerk. I have my doubts though.

>>1239951

>>1239851
here

I have really bad social anxiety, I scratch/pick at skin, bite my lips, stutter and stuff like that so no social skills here. I talk to people online sometimes though.

>>1239982

>talk to people online

holy crap you're going to be so successful in the future. How do I be you?

>>1221635

if you aren't like this, then you aren't "neet".

How do your parents let you live at home for so long without contributing or doing anything with your life?

Surely they can't be too happy.

>>1239951

>>1239768 here. No real life friends, though there's a few people I talk to online. I have social skills in the fact I get social cues and can pick up on emotions (I'm no aspie), but after a few years of this I don't really know how to speak to people or carry on conversations anymore.

>>1240211

My mother uses me to fill the void in her life and my dad is a spineless craven.They will not kick me out unless they are goaded trough the process by some authority or my mother gets some one else to play with.

>>1240035
It's better than nothing really, it counts as human interaction so you don't go crazy being in your own head all the time but it's not enough to mean anything so you get all attached and whatnot.

>>1240211
I've always been the "intelligent one" of the family so my parents are blindly hoping that I'll turn around and do something with myself one day.

I'm actually applying for jobs at the moment so it does look like I'm putting in effort so they're happy for now. It won't last though, they'll kick me out at some point when I turn 19.

>>1240629

>caring about making your parents proud of you

this is whats holding you back.

>>1240637
Where'd you get that idea?

I'm applying for jobs so they stop threatening to kick me out. They're never going to be proud of me because I'm never going to change, I accepted that a while ago.

>>1240646

do you think you'll be making friends with your co workers? What are you most knowledgeable in?

>>1240653
I won't be getting a job. I've applied to places but my social anxiety is basically at it's peak. There's no way someone would accept a faggot sitting there digging their nails into their skin, stuttering and not being able to look you in the eyes.

The last job I had was in retail, quite a popular, high-class shop. I worked there for 8 months, through panic attacks and meltdowns and stuff then went batshit insane and had to quit. The co-workers thought I was okay. I don't really understand how you make friends, it's like the new employees would get invited out to cinemas/clubs and I wouldn't. I never did. I don't understand how you get to that point.

Probably psychology, particularly mental illness due to
>LOL PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
but seriously it's just a subject I'm really interested in, shame it's not something useful though.

>>1240681

well seeing as you have people that you talk to over skype and msn, i guess you have all the social interaction you need. I have no friends both on and off, i wouldn't even know how to make them.

>>1240646

Sad day when you figure that out. Makes me a little cold to think that my parents don't care about me. My dad kicked me in the stomach before he told me. It was great, I'd spent years wondering why he was never happy with me and then he told me. It was so frustrating being a preteen with no parental influence.

Fucking hurt though, got me on the hip bone with his heel.

>>1240712
Post in contact threads basically, that's all I did.

The people I talk to, just talk to me in hopes that they'll get something out of it though.

>>1240720
I was told after my mum stripped me naked and sprayed me with cold water. I mean I know they still care no matter what shit they come out with, they're parents. I'm just their biggest mistake.

Sorry to hear that anyway though anon, all the best.

>>1240740

As long as you get something out of it too your good.

>>1240681
I know that feel, man..

>That feel when you get the shakes and anxious because too many people around and behind you, screaming kids everywhere, bitchy customers.
>Dread going into work every damn day, dreading the next day as soon as I clock out
>Quit 10 months later
>That feel when your parents tell you you need to find a job...
>You're dreading going back to work because the only thing you're qualified for is Retail and Fast food... all which involve lots of people and unnecessary noise. All for a below poverty level income...

May just have to become homeless man and travel the country and shit, parents don't want to pay for college and I'm too rich for financial aid.. =/

>>1240740

what do you do for your daily routine? I drink.

>>1240843
I have massive troubles sleeping but I've recently been given sleeping pills. I'll probably just end up taking them a lot and try sleep most of the days away

I draw, lay in bed, play sudoku, play with my cat and lately I've been exercising. I have days where I just don't move out of bed and lay there and listen to music

Nothing productive basically

>>1240849
want to keep in touch over life events? I'm a bit boring, but i wouldn't mind.

what are all of you neets doing for your weekend?
me? sleeping probably.

>>1240959
Sure, do you have a throwaway email/skype I can contact you on?

My life is pretty much over, I'm a 25 year old NEET living with his parents. I tried joining the military in 08 but let's just say that didn't work out. Took networking classes for awhile but due to money problems I had to quit because my family couldn't afford the commute. I'm going to try getting some kind of pell grant so I can go to the community college near our house though..something computer related I guess..that's all I can really imagine myself doing. Not that I'm very skilled with computers, but I'm comfortable with them.

Never had any friends irl much, I met my best friend online when I was 13 and we've become really close and I've met him in person before and spent time with him. We're closer than me and my own sister...or were, he's actually engaged, much to my dismay because I know once he get married he probably won't talk/play games with me as much ._.;...he's really all I have too, my parent situation is...really weird.

>>1241781
I'd really like to maybe become friends with some NEET's here. The only person I've talked to for the past 10 years really closely has been my best friend and a handful of other people (usually from online).

I always hated going to school and was miserable so I'd play lots of rpgs and eventually started roleplaying (haven't in a long time) in chats. Live in the deep south and hate it more than anything. I use to dream of leaving, maybe moving to the city but I know that's not going to happen now. I just confine myself to my room and I'm extremely paranoid and to combat loneliness I have gigs and gigs of pictures of girls downloaded, not to fap to (well..that too sometimes) but to open up on my desktop, like they're looking at me and talking. I feel less alone when I do this and as pathetic as it is I've come to love my fictional friends. I even have a cat one who I made after my own 15 year old cat bro died. No, I'm not a furry and I don't think any of this shit is real but it helps me. I also have other issues too..I've tried talking to my mom about stuff but she tends to ignore me and my 30 year old sister, who recently moved back in, always gets involved or act like she has a similar problem if I talk to mom. I can't explain it well but its really obnoxious. For example, let's say I had the flu and I told my mother, my sister would come in and say she has the flu but its worse and then she'd rush to the bathroom and start making loud puking sounds.

Also I'm the only person in my family not addicted to pain meds ._..

>>1241802

i'd say yes but i only talk to people who're completely friendless with no social skills.

>>1241802

My dad use to be a science teacher until 2001 when he was attacked and beaten while trying to protect another student. He's alright now but he went through a lot of depression related stuff along with physical so he's on disability now and he just stays in the bedroom all day watching ESPN. My mom use to be an RN until October of 2011 when the people that brought out the hospital she worked at had a mandatory drug screening and fired her because she had opiates in her drugtest and lied about it. She lost her job, tried to get others but no place would hire her so now she's not working and considering getting disability too because of her rheumatoid arthritis. My sister moved back in because of issues with her ex-husband. She has her own issues but she is much better socially than me and has worked. I can't stand her for a number of reasons though and she has been a drug addict for a long time, on and off. She's pawned my video games and my parent's own possessions multiple times in the past. Sister has connections and has sold some of dad's medicine to get us a float though so my folks probably like her more than me now.

My mother, every once in a bluemoon will confront me about staying in my room so much and we'll have a long talk but then I won't speak to anyone in detail for several months. I really hope I can try school again, I miss it..but I really don't have hopes for a job. It'll just be nice to take classes again..I guess.

>>1241836
I really have no social skills at all. The only reason my friend likes me as much as he does is that we've talked online forever and when we did meet in person he was so use to seeing him online that he didn't really notice how awkward and quiet I was.

Also I'm losing him soon enough anyway.

>>1241802
