Kill yourself now. Take up space in the ground. The surface is for people who contribute.

Holy shit, you fucking failure.
A waste of space as worthless as you should just an hero for the sake of not being such a burden on mankind anymore.

If your anxiety is that bad tell someone. It could help get you out of serious shit in court, or at least help you get your life around.

typical pothead.

no, really this is what pot does to you.

>>1506665
Props to your parents for not putting up with your shit. I have a lot of respect for them.

Wait how did you manage to grab skyrim arent the games locked up in a glass case behind the clerk?

If you have nothing worth while to live for why don't you just not give a shit? No one cares who you are and if you're interesting or not. Stop being a gigantic fucking pussy or clean yourself from the gene pool.

>search for months, no experience, no references, no training.

are you looking to become a fucking NASA space engineer without a diploma?

if not stop bitching, getting a job isn't hard at all.

are you a virgin, opie?

You have three options. Benzos, opiates or suicide. Don't underestimate the first, they all do wonders for anxiety but it's almost as hard to back out of as the last.

Seriously I didn't have any work experience, applied at a restaurant as a dishwasher got hired as a busboy then after a few months promoted to a host then another few months i'm a Bartender and making awesome money.

You guys are assholes who don't know what it feels like to go through what op is going through.
The weed came in because of the depression and was used as a means of coping.
Only people who go through this type of thing can understand.
I know this feel OP.

OP your parents were right I'm afraid

you couldn't even hold down a job for a month

Stop smoking weed, it's what's making you depressed, get up early in the morning, go outside and do stuff (even if it's just walk about all day) - the activity,sunlight and not being knackered all day will all help as well

Muppet

>>1506868

He doesn't deserve any respect, he's a dirty rotten thief.

And don't tell me stealing beer or Skyrim is a neccesscity, because it fucking isn't. Oh noes I has anxiety/any other fucking mental illness doesn't excuse you from not being a decent human being.

I know autitstics that have accomplished more than OP has, and they never handicap themselves with their disability. Ever.

>>1506890
i used to stand outside in -20C weather for 2hours just so I wouldn't have to go into class late and deal with the thought of my class mates staring at me

i miss high school

>afford vydya
is this a joke? or do you have modem internet?

Wow OP.

Thank Christ i never trust my own judgement, because its likely that's how shit would end up for me as well.

I know those crushing feelings of anxiety and depression that OP is experiencing. I had them in college when i dropped out, and couldn't even go into lecture theaters. I just hope he either seeks help or gets better on his own, before its too late.

Learn to pirate video games you fag. It's an excellent skill to learn too, if you learn how to pirate games and modify consoles (if you can replace the network card in your pc you can flash a 360 drive, NO EXCUSES) you can charge local fags $60 on craigslist to flash their 360s, then you get social contact with other losers that play video games too, and possibly earn repeat business by selling them pirated games.

I would have done that but I was too lazy and I didn't need the money because the government pays me to be a loser (on social security) So I just stuck to modifying consoles for my friends

>>1506947
s>ocial contact
you really don't get it, do you?

>Enjoy your catch-22
Though I honestly do feel really sorry for you. I hope you survive and end up living an extraordinary life. And I definitely hope you defeat your social anxiety.

>>1506969
Trust me, if you play video games all day and can't even relate to someone while doing an activity related to video games which pretty much invites discussing video games...

You're really fucked

I had no friends in school, I'm scared to even call and order for a pizza sometimes because it means I need to use the phone. But I have no problem arguing about video games with another shut in

People like you, OP, give me the strength to carry on. I don't ever want to be like you.

Society has abandoned you and your family aren't helping you. You'll have to stand on your own and fight these issues. You can do it. Take it day by day, roll with the punches- if life gives you lemons, tell life where to shove them. You can fucking well do it, somehow you can overcome it all.

You pathetic excuse for a human. The only time you have the right to whine about your life is when it wasn't your own fault, and I'm afraid, that was completely your own fault.

I hope you die of hypothermia after getting an infectious disease and stabbed by a more deserving homeless man.

>>1506711

Fuck you. Not OP but shit isn't that easy for some of us.

thank you for motivating me to do well in school/strive to make myself a better person/try to be more sociable

your failures are what reminds me where i'll end up if I don't stay strong

thank you

Geez, im sorry bro...
You know the fear that cripples you is really disproportionate. Have you ever tried martial arts? It could give u the confidence u seem 2 lack. Hope you can turn these bad habits around.

Grow a fucking pair jackass. If you want something, you have to work for it. Given life is unfair, and its really fucking hard in this generation opposed to earlier ones, but its still not all that hard to stay on your feet.

Life will never make a bum, or a peice of shit unless you deserve it, but it will be unfair. E.G. If you work easy, you will at least live a standard life, but if you work hard, you will probably get to somewhere better than you are now, although it will be a bitch if it feels like it, or it will let you win the lottery if it wants you to, just don't be a fucking slacker.

>>1507126
Indeed, being someone who has gone through it....
I ONLY wish I could talk with people still in college struggling like I was, to save them the dreadful experience of what happens when you stop caring and allow the depression in.
I would ABSOULTELY advise anyone to get act together and study your fucking ass off if need be. Do not succumb to the difficulty of Uni, and do anything to stay in the game. Keep on top of the work every single goddamn day. Yes, try to be sociable too, it will help you get through more painlessly. Keep your head up, bud.

>>1507080
>>1507126
have to agree with you guys. the people on this board make realize that i never want to be so pathetic. as for the OP. get on some meds, idc what the fuck bad things you ahve to say about them making you someone else or that stupid shit. right now you arent even worth the air that you are breathing. get on some meds, and maybe some day you can break even. maybe...

>>1506868

>The weed came in because of the depression and was used as a means of coping.
Only people who go through this type of thing can understand.

Oh, give me a fucking break. I've been NEET for 6 years as an adolescence and I never resorted to substance abuse. For the most part, I've been through what the OP describes except I pull myself up by the bootstraps and continue on with school, no matter how extremely miserable it is. Yes, its hard. Really, REALLY hard, but what are you going to do with yourself if you drop out? OP's situation doesn't really sound that bad at all, to be honest.

>>1507719
Hey bud...
I was the one who wrote
>The weed came in because of the depression and was used as a means of coping.
Anyways, I've never turned to drugs either, but I honestly understand where this guy has been and why he might feel the shit he feels.
BTW, 6 yrs as a NEET and going back to school and never turning to sub abuse is VERY admirable.
I'm inspired.
Did you do anything at all for the 6 years? Work min wage job?
What are you studying?

I was a NEET for 5 years after high school. Tried to go to community college and failed out of that. I was living off of my parents until they died and left me nothing in the will. Currently I'm homeless, sleeping in my car, I have a job but the work isn't steady in the slightest. Probably going to jump off a bridge or find some other way to end it. Life is too fucking hard and you never seem to have enough money for the things you really need.

>>1508533
get your shit together. people in china live in worse conditions and work much harder

>>1508550

very easy to say over the internet.

I have all of $20 combined in savings and checking. I will not even be able to get work two days in a row if I have to much less travel to another interview or another job.

>>1508592
How do you have internet, man?

>>1508550
Because it's in their culture to suffer for their families. Western and Eastern cultures are a lot different than each other. Believe it or not major depression is a end result of putting a front (read:being strong) for too long.

I know, because I'm currently recovering from it. People who trivialize it don't help.

I knew that 4chan is a home for losers but damn this shit can't be real right?

dont you have some kind of welfare in the states? what did you do with all that money?

>>1508634

I got the 92' econo car that I'm in now as a rusted hand me down.

Welfare in America only applies to the elderly and women with children. There is no jobseekers allowance like in most countries.

>>1508894
I am sorry, but anyone can work in a McDonalds or for pizza delivery, than buy some clothes to work at a decent restaurant with tip or at customer support, then apply for a decent job training (if college education is too hard).

Don't kill yourself. Homelessness is a pretty extreme situation, and you'd be surprised how quickly you forget about your social anxiety in extreme situations. Trust me, I know. So with your social anxiety gone, you'll be able to solve your homelessness. Trust me, you're going to come out a better person on the other side of this.

>>1507885

>Did you do anything at all for the 6 years? Work min wage job?

Just World of Warcraft and lurking forums. That is it.

Never had an official job before, but I am a full-time student now and it probably feels like a job i'd imagine.

Holy shit I hate people like you.
Grow a pair.
Your life ain't so fucking hard.
Maybe they'll send you to jail for not doing your community service. Jail would be pretty sweet for you, wouldn't it? You wouldn't have to deal with the dreaded real world like the rest of us.
Douchecanoe.

>>1508920

P.S I currently do not have a major because I am not exactly sure on what I want to major in specifically but I think its foolish to decide too soon lest you end up taking classes you don't need.

No, you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

I've applied pretty much everywhere myself. There is no desperate need for workers in my god forsaken shithole of a town.

>>1508894
>not a criminal
>is a neet

Same thing you pathetic fucking piece of shit. I'd hunt you down and kill you if I wasn't bus making money/building up my business and future.

Worthless hunk of fuck.

My mum told me this story of someone similar to you that she knew, was a worthless waste of fucking air, you know what shit did? She beat that whore til an inch of her life. And you wanna know what happened after the months of recovery? That worthless sack of shit got her life together, got a job, went back to school and now runs her own business.

OP, just fucking leave everything behind. Seriously, gather together a few items that you absolutely need, any money you can scrounge up or steal, throw it all in a backpack and leave your house. Walk for a while, start hitchhiking, and see how far you can get. Start all over in a new place far away, or just keep wandering. There's no reason not to. How could it possibly be any worse than the way you live now?
Plus you'll see the country and shit and meet awesome people and have some real life experiences.

But I'm sure you're too afraid to do any of that. Your life will probably suck forever, with the mindset you have. And don't kid yourself, it's completely your fault that you are the way you are. Completely.

>>1508973
If you're starting a business you're no better than a criminal. You are a class traitor who's business will fail and in a few months time you'll be right here making a thread just like OP.

I love how the normals come in and think everything can be fixed instantly.

>>1509012

A life of a Gutter Punk...

That's more useful than some of the shitty advice in this thread.

>>1508973
Why do you have such a slave like mentality?

Why do you think working is the ultimate goal of existence?

Why do you buy into all this bullshit about contribution to society?

Why are you so frustrated at people who chose to deny being a worker drone?

You've got one life to live, being pigeon hold into this twisted idea of being a worker bee or a cog in a machine just seems so stupid to me.

It fascinates me.

>>1509030
Oh, I'm sorry Republicunt, thank your for taking time from your privileged life to tell the damn common folk to stop being lazy. Now OP will take your advice and turn his life around with his $0 net worth and no training or education

>>1508533
What pisses me off most of all these GET A JERB, CONTRIBOOT TO SOCIETAH drones, is that they are apparently completely okay with just being another production unit for the government and corporations. Do people ever realize that by paying taxes or contributing to the economy they are literally accessories to murder? They give money to the government knowing full well that the government will use it to kill, find better ways to kill, and better ways to control the population. Then they act proud about it.

normalfags don't realize that WITHOUT JOB EXPERIENCE YOU WILL NOT GET HIRED ANYWHERE. I have no working experience at 26 years of age. Contrary to popular belief McDonalds Walmart would rather hire a 16 year old with no experience then anyone off the street with no experience.

>>1509030
bullshit. you are not making anything. you are just an 18 year old paultard believing in the joke that is the american dream and making shit up. you cant just start a business these days. when I look around my neighbourhood, I see only big chain- and inherited/family run businesses. all the niches for profit are filled. all of them.

>>1508980

If you can't relate to OP's problems then you don't belong on this board, get out.

Man, I hate the typical pothead just as much as the next guy, but OP is just some arcanine who started up pot because he was down on his luck and needed some comfort- not because he wanted to look cool and impress people.

You're a waste of resources. End your life.

>>1509168
Yes, he only started using drugs because of a crushing emotional issue! That's a good reason, as opposed to having fun.

Did the weed help you with social anxiety, OP?

I was a NEET for a while with crippling social anxiety. This is how I got out of it:

1. Find someone who you respect to hold you accountable for attendance, either of job or school. Mom or Dad might be up for this. You have to want to please them. Have them tell you to go to class, if you want to skip you have to ask for permission. (If you're actually sick they should be forgiving and let you skip, but if you're just anxious you're not allowed.)
2. Find out what it takes to go back to school. Do it. Get an associates degree in Networks or something similar. People don't expect IT people to be talkative.
3. Talk to a local non-profit that caters to middle to upper-class people. My recommendations are art galleries or history museums. Take the job of managing the front desk/greeting/answering phones. If you handle money for admissions, this is a step in the right direction as it shows responsibility on a resume. Deal. With. It. It's good for you.
4. Treat tellers/secretaries/parking attendants with the respect you like to receive on the phone. Realize how much they brighten when you greet them with a friendly smile and later with a kind "Hello."
5. Start doing the same thing to people walking down the street (unless you're in the city, then don't make eye contact.)
6. Realize that no person is that much different from you. Sure, they wear different clothes or read different books or have different hobbies, but we all have stupid insecurities and hopes and goals and phobias.

>>1509185
If you had ever gone through the depression that some people (including OP) have gone/are going through, you'd understand that nothing is off limits as long as it can ease the pain for even just a moment. Its a sad state of mind.

so I tried to apply for a job at a local small business...

holy shit, get on fucking meds then. they work. what do you expect, your parents will throw all their money down the drain to care for you when you are doing literally nothing with your life? your parents are nearing the end of their lives, assuming you are 20 they are probably around 40. they deserve to be enjoying their spare money with travel and luxuries, not carrying around a deadbeat. tell your parents you want therapy/medication for your condition, they will probably understand. if not, health insurance/public healthcare. stop acting so fucking entitled. i was diagnosed with bipolar 8 years ago and have held down work etc for years at a time, even through the worst mixed episodes. therapy helps. medication helps. self-medicating with weed and alcohol just makes your condition worse.

>>1509082
I actually did realize this because of all of the college grads being overqualified for jobs and got a job less than a year after high school so that I could make money for college.

I also applied at restaurants and businesses that weren't chains, they tend to look better on resumes.

Also your parents probably had the same problem and IF they went to college or any university then they were probably working when they weren't studying.

this is one case where I think meds + therapy should've been used.

>>1509935
You need more than med and therapy to deal with any problem. You need to get to the root of your problem in order to deal with it.

that posted time

Damn, look at that negative reaction.

I feel you OP.

I know that feel OP. Just dropped out of 90% of my classes and didn't get a refund. My parents probably wont even care, I've been so pathetic and useless my whole life...

Lollin' @ all the people saying OP is a waste of resources/space/air.
>implying life is anything but wasting resources until you die
>implying having a job changes this at all

Also before anyone asks, I have a job and pay taxes, and I'm not mad at the OP. He's incapable of working, so why should he be required to? I'm perfectly fine with my spare change funding his life so he can take it easy.

Everyone, including myself, is just as much of a waste of resources as the OP is.

>>1506665
>Be a useless NEET a whole fucking year
