Now receiving some special education a few hours a week, but I'm never going to make it through college.
Which is pretty shitty because the only thing I'm good at is thinking, and you can't make a living off that without some credentials.
Oh well, at least I live in a welfare nation.

>>1646275
Which symptoms do you have? How severe is it? Are you full retard in social situations?

>>1646268

You know what's even more cash? Having hundreds of pounds a week to spend on new stuff.

Currently neet, feels fucking terrible man.

Currently a NEET.
Completed secondary education. Dropped out of 2 unis.

fuck, tescos would have been better than my first job.

>>1646284

The ones I've circled I exhibit strongly, the once I've underscored I somewhat exhibit.

>being forced to work in Tescos

Woah woah, what the fuck OP? I'm a britfag and this concerns me. Explain please.

>>1646296
Have you not heard of workfare?

>>1646298
Evidently not. I thought you could just get by with regular visits to the Jobcentre and proving that you're applying for x amount of jobs.

>>1646292
In what situations do you laugh inappropriately?

>>1646300
No longer.

>>1646301
Just whenever I wonder off into my thoughts and start thinking of some stupid internet meme.

It happened in church once.
At a funeral.

>>1646305
having to work for money, such a tradgedy.

>>1646305
So, what happens? How does one get forced into a job? Do I get a letter or something?

>>1646312
I think your contact down at jcp informs you if you have been claiming for X many moths.

Living with my mother and don't claim the dole.

I make money in other ways, not sharing I don't need more fucking competition. In the end it works out to a part time job, and no it's not illegal.

if i find out that you are making this here because the mods won't let you on the other board, i'm going to kill the mods

>tfw when both me and my 26 year old brother are unemployed leeches

My parents, they failed hard at raising normal children. They should honestly kick us to the street, it would be the best.

>>1646328
Are you fucking retarded? /r9k/ is a board where neckbeards corrugate. This is the perfect board for said topic.

>>1646331
>corrugate

LOL

>>1646329
At least you have company in your misery. I'd kill to have a NEET friend.

>>1646328
What other board is there? Do you mean /soc/, ie cock rate?

>>1646328
Is there a NEET board?

moot needs to give us a NEET board

>>1646365
I second the motion for a NEET board.

I'm 18 and still live with my Mom, but I make thousands a month from YouTube. Does that count? It's lazy work.

>>1646370
>I'm 18
>18
Come back when you're living with your parents past 21.

>>1646370
I'd be interested in making a living off youtube. How did you do it, anon?

>>1646368
>>1646365
Why do we need a NEET board? What would we even talk about?
>that feel when unemployment

We're fine here.

>>1646370
It's a job, albeit a non traditional one.

You create content and get paid for it.

>>1646311

Except you don't get paid anything for working there and you aren't even guaranteed an interview at the end of it.

They tried to put me onto this work experience bullshit, and I told them to shove it up their arse. They wanted me to work for the local council, sweeping roads, doing gardening and small roadwork repairs or something, all for absolutely nothing in return. Then they tried to make me do baggage handling at the airport, 40 miles away, without being able to claim expenses and without a parking permit, meaning i'd have to spend about 10 quid a day alone on parking, and about 70 quid a week on fuel.

It's not my fucking fault there are no jobs or opportunities, I've sent in near 50 applications to various different jobs and I haven't heard shit back from any of them.

Fuck this place, I hope the muslims declare jihad on it and it gets nuked from orbit.

Also, fuck you moot, why am i not allowed to write the pound sign?

>>1646382
>that feel when unemployed
>that feel when not a student
etc

>>1646392
I love it already.

>>1646391
>government job

That's so shit, you know the guys who actually work those jobs get very high wages? Not welfare level wages that's for sure.

Being a maintence guy in my city nets you $27 an hour.

>>1646392
>What did you do today?

Fapped, played some games, fapped, watch some anime, fapped, ate some food, took a shower, and slept.

Never accept anything the job centre try and offer you.
Also If you are forced to go on any programs, don't sign away your data protection rights. That way the private companies like A4E, G4S., serco etc can't make money off you.

>>1646397

Around here, the guys who actually do that job for a living would be on like 8 or 9 pounds an hour, and I'd be getting 50 quid a week if I did that bullshit.

No one is stupid enough to do this shit.

Any NEETs in the midlands?

I have been like this for 4 years now.. I'm well read, have a load of hobbies, not just videogames, used to make money online too until it crashed for me.

I also need to make it clear that I look after myself well, and I am far from a neckbeard.

Just wish I could find more people like me.

Being a NEET and all I decided to grow a beard.
>dat feel when you fail at beard growing.

>>1646412
Sounds like an entertaining time.

How do you do finances? I imagine coming from a wealthy family would be nice. Never having to worry about expenses.

>>1646412
East or West.
What county?

>>1646421
I'm actually from a poorer family.

I used to make money selling graphics, and still live off the money from that, it's quickly running out though.

It isn't fun. It's difficult to describe, but it feels like I am deeply ill every day - everyone in here will tell you that it's difficult to escape when you fall to this.

>>1646422
I'm from the East Midlands, and I'm male.

Tip for NEETs

Work out on your spare time, you have a lot of it right? Lift some weights, do some pushups, and don't go too nuts on shit food.

Care about your body. It's a good thing. Nothing worse than a fat, ugly, smelly NEET.

>>1646424
yes, long term NEETness is like a bottomless pit.

>>1646329

Your parents must be really retard level.

Some parents seem to think their duty stops at food + shelter.

>That feel when prodigy and have three degrees and everyone expects you to be great but you just can't be fucked any more and would rather spend your days drinking and sleeping.

>>1646433

If you are not careful, you can lose years from being a NEET the days just pass by.

>>1646429
You seem to be forgetting genetics. Some people are born ugly, even if they attend gym daily.

>>1646435
They spent most of our lives gambling the family money away at Bingo or the Casino.

Didn't really help to build a sense of work ethic in us. You'd think we'd strive to be better than our parents, but I guess not.

Start your own business you unresourceful fucks.

You're only ever one good wholesaler away from being rich. That's all. One good contact.

>>1646433
*Long term NEETness with no purpose

If you have a purpose, it's less soul crushing.

>>1646438
>>1646438
Yeah, I don't even know what day it is most of the time.
Any significant memories I have stopped being added to when I fell into this. I can't remember what I did last week, or 3 months ago, or even yesterday, my head automatically assumes it's nothing of interest now.

Surprisingly I used to be pretty well adjusted at one time, I've had a seriously relationship in the past.

So why aren't you all shotting? No contacts cos you're all middle class town babbies? And bare man would jack you. lolz

>>1646453
I don't speak chav. Can I get a translation?

>>1646453
>Hurr durr risk going to jail

You realize it's a job right? Just not a legal one.

>>1646456
He asked why aren't r9k jobless bums drug dealing.

>>1646453
nawh m8, i'd knock u out propa, get all fukin swag on your slut of a gf mate, watch, next time. jus watch.

Fucking, grew up with people like this. My only friend is a drug dealer, so easy to mesh into crowds like that for me.

I can also do a perfect Jamaican accent.

>>1646453
>shotting?
I...what?

>>1646453

What the fuck is shotting?

>>1646470
>>1646472
Dealing

>>1646472
It's drug dealing.

NEETs would be ideal drug dealers because you're off-grid, and not well known with no offenses, and usually always whitebread average looking.

Perfect disguise.

Not every NEET is a chav.

>>1646477
Can NEETs even be chavs?

In my experience.. we're great at observing the world from the outside, so maybe only to blend in they could be, but not truly. NEETs aren't capable of giving a fuck enough to be anything as volatile as some angry white lower class kid.

lucky fucking britfags, I'd love to get the dole but since I'm an amerifag I'll have to go back to college or get a job this year. I have no desire to do either and just want to sleep and play video games.

>>1646475
Perfect drug to deal in the UK is coke.

Crack cocaine = too much general black people involved at all levels

Heroin = more white, but you're dealing with serious scum

Coke = mostly respectable customer base since even white thirtysomething Brits basically consider it a soft drug by default these days. Few chavs who want something to go up their nose with their pints of fosters. Few posh kids. Big deal.

>>1646481
I guess it depends what definition of chav you use.

>>1646487
So you don't get unemployment money of any kind there?

>>1646487
>>1646487
Lol what. If you're in cali and poor, you can get like 3k a semester 'for college' - or like 80% reduction on school fees. Other states offer similar shit. It's better than the fucking dole in some places there.

>>1646503
You only recieve social services nly if you're a woman with a child or disabled. You can get unemployement but to qualify for that you would have had to hold down a job for a while.

>>1646507

I'm in ohio and middle class; I'm just a lazy fuck.

I'll just write to bump.

Difficult thing about being a NEET here is that once you fall out of the system in the UK, they try to keep you where you fell to - it's difficult to work up to being rich because of the heavy taxation, and free travel is hard because of extortionate transport taxes.

More personally, I have nothing in common with people where I live, because somewhere along the line I strayed off the path and started to take interest in the world, in politics, computers, literature, working out, and a lot more..

The people I used to roll with years ago deal drugs, make dubstep and beat the shit out of each other over their postcode.

I've both isolated and alienated myself.

Bump for a neet board....
/Neet/

Dear Sir Mootykins.
We humbly request that /neet/ be established.

Yours.

A Neet.

/neet/ pls.

>>1646380
Sorry for the late reply.

Basically you just make videos with tricky thumbnails about current events. I.E. celebrity deaths, TV shows, new video games, new songs. Shit's cash.

MOAR! /neet/

NEET girls have it easy, just make an adultwork profile. Comfortable if not rich within months.

In fact, can women even be NEET? Not really

>>1646563

Me, here
>>1646412

I actually knew a NEET girl for a few years. Every couple of months I'd go to her home and pry her out with me for a bit. She was so shy, it was adorable, she loved anime, and I liked videogames. She liked me a lot, but I never reciprocated for some reason.

She eventually moved away because of her parents moving, and as she's a neet, my only contact with her is online now.

She'd been like that for as long as me, we also attended the same highschool as youngsters. She was very humble and polite - so they do exist.

Actually, there's been a gap in my life since she went, I didn't love her or anything, but it was nice to have a female in the same situation to go and drag out of her house for a bit, just to walk and talk in the rain, in the local forest, or drink tea on her roof, etc.

>>1646563
>hurr durrr all women can sell their body and self respect therefore they cannot ever say they have no prospects

Speaking of which, aren't almost all housewifes NEET's?

They sit at home all day while the man makes the money.

woman NEET here. what's adultworks?
anyways been this way since i graduated last year. don't really want to be but no jobs due to catch22
thinking of going to grad school although i'm not sure.
it really really sucks, i'm not social at all and spend all my time online or watching movies. i try to work out but i feel like it's not the same as when i used to bike to school and walk to my classes.

Awww yeah a neet thread.
>no job, no college, no gf
>vidya all day err day

FTS

I'm going to go browse the mall today I think.It's the only time I ever get out.

Mfw choking on Lynx/axe in the fucking job centre.

Mfw hearing that murmur of 'YEAH INNIT MATE IM LOOKIN I SWEAR, DONT STOP ME FUCKIN MONEY'

Mfw the sign-in workers judging you with smirks as you walk in

Mfw You're so well dressed (No, not fedoras, I'm not a faggot.) that people ask you what you're doing in here and if you study at uni.

Mfw you're full neet.

Good to see the neet thread is back.

Anyone got a good job centre plus story?

NEET here, I lift weights though

Whenever a bitch at the club or bar asks what my job is, I tell them bodybuilder.

>not getting bitches to pay for everything

/trollface

>>1646665

>that feel when you start to convince yourself you are exactly the same as the chav prick besides you
>that feel when you can't actually think of a decent reason why you're not the same, other than your dress sense and general intelligence
>that feel when you are just as much a drain on society as they are
>that feel when you feel terrible about that, but don't really have the willpower to change it, and that sitting around being miserable all day doing nothing sounds better than actually doing something and having a chance to improve yourself

>that feel when you don't have a hope in hell either way

>>1646701
>>1646701
Not really man, that's just your depression taking. Chavs tend to smash shit up and cost even more taxpayer money than you do, and get arrested, and they're the reason the government drops billions on increased police patrols, you aren't.

Although you aren't working, it's safe to say you aren't anywhere close to people who choose to remain almost feral for the majority of their lives.

Your money sitting in the bank is more assistance to your country than it is being given to foreign booze companies.

>>1646701
Oh, you went to college/uni.

Inb4 you blew 40k+ of taxpayer money/student loans on a degree in music production or philosophy or some stupid shit.

>>1646718
>philosophy
>some stupid shit

Pick one.

>>1646706

I know that, it's just that when you're sitting there, waiting to be called over just to sit at a desk for 5 minutes feeling like a dick while some guy who really couldn't give a toss either way reads out potential employers (read: potential timewasters, as your application might aswell be written in crayon for all the good it will do), you do start to feel like shit. I sometimes meet chavs from my old school in there, and they almost always try to start a conversation/fight with me, and i think to myself "I've basically ended up like them; claiming the dole and doing fuck all", thinking school was just a huge waste of time, and that my previous work experience counts for shit, but deep down (and when i walk out the door) i know that I am better than them and that I am nothing like the parasites.

I swear, walking into the Job Centre is like walking into a ball of depression and self-hate. They must pump stuff into the buildings to make people feel like shit. I dread going there every 2 weeks, even though it's only for 10 minutes.

>>1646730
>Doesn't think it's stupid to pay for what you can do at home for free/with library access.

Have a think about that while you're in line for financial aid.

Look at me guys. I have a degree in thinking about questions that can't be answered.

>Nightmare scum mode

>>1646758
>>1646758

Bro, it's just not a degree you should pick if your rich parents aren't paying for it, and for you, for the rest of your life.

It's what rich aristocrats did with their spare time a long time ago, it's not for poor students who want to aspire to be great critical thinkers - if they thought critically they wouldn't want to buy a degree in it.

In that, its about as useful as one of those underwater basket weaving courses to an employer - you'd be better off taking social sciences, even, at least you can work in employment departments/human resource with that shit.

Any philosopher knows that this is the age of practical solutions, practical solutions and simple, hedonistic people who thrive off of feelings, wealth and not thought.

>>1646641
adultwork is a popular profile site, especially in the UK, for whoring yourself out (literally)

but you don't have to escort you can just cam or phone chat, host private galleries of yourself etc, which obviously makes less money.

>>1646641
why not just find a sugar daddy?

No, it didn't happen, but I wish it did.

I hate the fact that I'm living in the 21st century.
I would have preferred the 20th.

>>1646861

I would have preferred the 22nd, when the government provides free food and housing for all citizens and I can spend all day every day in a flawless virtual world.

>>1646861
I just don't fit into this new economy.
Whatever they call it this time period; post-austerity, the new normal, shift towards asia, global rebalancing etc etc It just seems to have it in for me.

So keep looking, you never know what's around the corner. NOW I just need to get my own place but as a low priority (male, single, white) it could take another 18 months to 2 years to be get housing association housing and totally private sector renting would cost a bomb where I live.

So yeah life is still far from high tier or decent status but at least I escaped being NEET.

welp, i'm off to a 'careers interview'.

:|

>>1646887
Let us know how it goes.
I don't they offer that where I live.

>Older sisters is married to a doctor, ~175k salary
>Younger sister is married to a regional store manager of a popular national store chain, ~130k salary.

I'm a male and the last job I had paid $12/hr until I was laid off and got funemployment which was only $150/week; its now run out.

It's not fair that I don't have a vagina I would be married to a rich lawyer or something right now being a stay at home mom. Women have it so fucking easy.

>>1646889
You get em like.. every 3 months on the dole, until they shove you off to work for free.

>>1646519

My life is spiralling downwards.

I would be a NEET but I'm at uni.
My course requires me to get a job to pass.
>implying any employer will want an undergrad in this economic climate
Seriously, sometimes I think my uni is thick.

At least you don't live in the US. All of our taxes just go towards bombing people we don't know.

Kinda sucks.

I get benefits for my mental health issues. I want to do something productive I really do. But I can barely leave the house without freaking out.

LET ME POST ON HERE

>>1647045
Same here, mate. I'm the only one in my family who didn't go to uni. No wonder they all hate me.

Australian reporting in.
I'm not cut out for a life in the trades nor does it seem Im university material.
I'm wasting my 20s and I feel pathetic and sad.
That feel when people you know are buying homes and starting families when you are a kissliss virgin NEET.

GOD DAMN IT THIS IS NOT SPAM.

>>1647037
Well a lot of our taxes go towards helping out on those missions and getting friendly fired on. But I guess the only way we can retain any kind of scrap of relevance in the world is by sucking up to the US and EU simultaneously.

>>1647084

I dunno what you're issues are, but you could try getting a support worker. I got one and he's really helping me out. I might even get to go to uni one day.

Anyone else think they will be a NEET forever?

>>1647150

No.

I'll only be NEET until I become homeless, or kill myself.

Nothing lasts forever, anon.

Back from careers interview.

It was alright. Got a cool guy, didn't harass, said I'm fine, and processed me out quickly.

So fucking hard to keep my social anxiety under control though. FUCK. Look so calm on the outside, by inside I'm shitting myself every second.

The only thing I have to look forward to each day is hot cross buns for breakfast.

;__;

>>1647183
I sincerely hope you toast them, anon.

Do I count as NEET if I work 5 hours a week? I'm on the dole too. I have to tell them how many hours a week I work, fill in a form every 2 weeks and show them wage slips as proof as to how much I earn.
My 6 months is up in a month so I'll probably just live off of my part time job until I get a proper one.

>>1647208
NOT IN EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION OR TRAINING.

You sir are not a NEET.

>>1647220
Well, that's good then. I still kind of consider myself one though, I forget that I do technically have a job.

>>1646563
Just because I am a neet doesn't mean I lost all of my self respect.

I was thinking of making a living by working from home of course. I'm a poorfag, so I was hoping to find my education later on with money I make from drawing fetish porn.

This thread was cool. I wish I could whine with all of you every day. We need a /neet/ board. Call it /no/ or /nhk/

>>1647581
Uboachan has a /n/-NEET board.

All of them are women.

wouldnt it be cool if all neets became wizards?

yeah, just some thought for foods

I think the saddest thing about being a NEET is that despite the fact that your closest contact with the outside world is likely to be your parents, there's no hope that they'll ever understand.

So even among family you're subject to constant criticism and judgement.

>>1647603

Tohno-chan has a NEET board too.

Unfortunately, 4chan is far too mainstream now for moot to ever add a NEET board here.

>>1647787
It would become like /r9k/ but more whiny and self loathing... oh god, just keep it out.

good work bro, you just have to find a wizard that can do telekinesis

Why do you niggers worry so much about your job centre visits? The absolute worst that could happen is that you find yourself shoehorned into a shitty job, at which point all you need simply do is perform so poorly that you are immediately fired.

You seriously need to chill. We chose this life to get away from bullshit and stress, remember?

>>1647294
So being paid for sex is injurious to self-respect? Pfft, enjoy your slut-shaming and slave morality.

I went to workplace today (a sort of jobcentre connected recruitment agency). When I told the advisor dealing with me what I studied and where she actually laughed at me and asked "why are you here?". That feel when my social anxiety means I will never interview well even though I have a pretty strong academic record.

The worst part about the jobcentre is the people you went to school with who you know never gave a shit about education and that smirk they get when despite your supposed intelligence, you ended up in the same place as them.

>may not want cuddling
Fuck, I nearly push my own mother because she hugged me without warning.

I hate being touch in general, my college peers quickly found this out and now they keep tapping me hoping for a reaction, and they always get it ;_;

Whats the Americunt situation with benifits?

>>1648697

I can feel your mad emanating from my monitor and it warms me.

>>1648762
I reacted badly to a hug once and now no one hugs me ever.
I fucking love hugs man, it's not fair.

>>1648772
You have to be crippled or be a woman with children. You're fucked if you're a healthy young male.

>>1648748
Fuck man. Fuck. Time to commit suicide. I'm never gonna get a job at this rate.

If I do volunteering does that exclude me from being a NEET?

>>1648805
Yeah, probably, it comes in under Employment or Traning at least

>>1648776
The one thing about the UK I'm really proud of is the benefits and the NHS shit, and by abusing that, you are being a massive dickhead.
It's like parking in a disabled spot. It's not cool.

>>1648822
but im legally retarded because of my personality disorder

>>1648822
You'd be proud of the NHS if you'd ever had any real need for it but there's no way anyone can be happy about being on JSA, you wake up every day feeling like a piece of shit even if you really don't want to be on it.

There's more to life than just 'NEET' or '9 to 5 wife and kids' you know. You have options.

>>1648882
yeah suicide and winning the lottery

Is a NEET the same as a shut in?

>>1648931
They can be but it just means Not in Employment, Education or Training.

Question NEETs?
How do you guys not get bored with what you do?

>>1648969

They release new videogames all the time.

>>1648782
>>1648782
I would swap if I could bro, I really would. Its fuckimg awkward. I don't know if its going t a side hug and one time a girl had politely told me to stop hugging her, I think I passed the friends time limit. Shits awkward yo.

>>1646268
shit will be even casher when you're unemployable and that's it until you die a premature death from being a poorfag with no job.

>>1648969
I sleep a good deal longer than I am awake. That and videogames are a hell of a timesink.

>>1648969
being a neet with a computer is alright

like last weekend i marathoned all harry potter movies

and the weekend before that i marathoned about 400 episodes of one piece

>>1648772
Been NEET for upwards of eight years now, only been getting benefits for the last three. They're easy enough to get, but it's a pittance, and you'll be hard pressed to live on your own. As long as you're crazy enough, it's as simple as applying, going to the doctor's appointment, and eeking by.

I hate all you NEET cunts.

If you're claiming benefits and whining that there are no jobs I fucking hate you because there are, you just think you deserve to be an astronaut or some other unrealistic expectation and if you're not claiming benefits I hate you too because sooner or later you will be on benefits and won't be getting a job any time soon because any employer will think I'm not employing that lazy cunt who hasn't done anything for a while.

>>1649144
You're a passionate person, I think you have a great personality.

>>1649160
lol thanks.

I'm on government disability for autism and a bunch of other stuff.

>>1649225
take CVs to agencies. dress as smart as you can. make sure your finger nails are trimmed and clean and your hair washed.

you'd be surprised how few people actually have a CV when they go to an agency to ask for work.

take whatever they have to give, do a good job and you'll get more work.

>>1649252
let me guess, the list of your ailments includes depression and asthma

>>1649225
Try using SimplyHired and Indeed.com. I got 3 interviews the week after I started using those websites to search for jobs.

I failed them due to a lack of people skills as the jobs were sales/customer service jobs, but it's still a start.

Amerifag here. What is this "dole" you speak of? Is it like our version of unemployment? Because ours ends after a certain amount of time. For some reason I get the impression that yours doesn't, assuming you can show that you're still looking for work? Is that correct? If so, it sounds pretty nice.

>>1649342
I think the dole lasts for 6 months, but you can get it for longer... I'm not sure.

NEETs, how do you stop yourself from getting too sucked into your own head?
I haven't gone outside for a month now and it's really getting to me.

>>1649300
I have asthma but didn't claim it. Depression didn't really stick, becuase I'm manic. The list of things I'm actually diagnosed with is pretty long, I'm actually someone who shouldn't be out in the public.

>>1649342
The closest thing to the dole over here is SSI. Since welfare doesn't exist in most of the country anymore.
There are people who scam it like >>1649300
was suggesting, going in with stuff like that.

i dont spend (their) money, but i live rent free and eat food in my parents house

i dont claim dole even though i probably should

currently writing demos and looking for work with music

i know a lot of you are going to think im shit, but i promise im not that bad. im not exceptional though, and i think a career in music, which is what ive been gunning for since i picked up the instrument, is so far removed from my actual reality that im chasing a pipe dream

i just want to die

>>1649342
you actually have to be a class a arsehole to want to stay on jobseeker's allowance in the UK.

it's not there to support a lifestyle, it's supposed to keep your nostrils above water while you get another job.

unfortunately the likes of asda (walmart uk) make it almost doable to live on the allowance.

i laugh at all the fags getting uppity about being 'forced' (you're not forced, you do it or don't get JSA; there is a choice).

they claim they're being forced to work for nothing and forget they've been paid for the preceding six months or whatever for doing fuck all

>>1649375
Go outside. Do what old people do and just potter around wasting time. Put on a suit for no reason and walk around the town.

>>1649375

I talk to people all the time on the internet which I think keeps me sane, but sometimes I force myself to go out and spend time in society so I don't completely forget that there's a physical world out there.

so how can an american live on his own using only government funds?

I am schizophrenic so I can get SSDI, but lets make this for anybody.

>>1649412
Fake schizophrenia? Can you do that?
Live somewhere near a national park or something. Keep the shittiest smallest abode you can get. Don't heat or power it, don't use any electricity.
Buy camping stuff and live in the national park most of the time. Go into town when you have to to collect your money or whatever, use money to pay for some kind of internetphone. Power it with sunlight. Eat grass.

>>1649412
Find a place with rent under 350 a month that you won't get killed at. After you fail, move to one where you will be killed. Get food stamps, sell your desktop and buy a netbook, unplug your refrigerator, and don't use an electric oven. Assuming you still have that $600 a month coming in for being crazy, you'll continue to "live" for some time.

>>1649445
>have a flat but live outside all the time
>eat grass
>have to fake having a mental condition

>>1649445
What if I want to eat a lot of steak

>>1649467
Steal cats. Cat stake.

>When I told the advisor dealing with me what I studied and where she actually laughed at me and asked "why are you here?".

Because the current economy fucking sucks? How ignorant.

>>1648089
Because I'd like to earn money through my skills/talents instead of just flashing my tits for horny men.
I was raised better than to flaunt myself shamelessly. Just something I won't do.

Also

I haven't read a single programming book. I spend all day browsing anal porn, /r9k/, and random blogs.

Weeks pass by...months....years.

Is it true I have to see a counselor to get ssdi?

>>1649536
Unless you've had a career, you won't be getting SDSI.
You also won't be getting it if anyone in your family is on it.
What losers who can't land a mcjob get is called SSI. It pays out about a quarter as much, and yes you'll need to see one of their doctors.

>>1649521

>Weeks pass by...months....years.

I know that feel bro

Damn this thread is depressing.

Been NEET for 3 years, yet still feeling positive for future or maybe its just my brain trying to fight depression.

>>1649762
Details on how you sustain yourself?

>>1649783

Left over money from student loan + savings. Probably enough to last me another year or two (only for rent/bills + food) Don't take job seekers.

Got to visit the job centre tomorrow.

Living in the north east sucks bros.

fml.

All of you should watch this

late night NEETS report in!

>>1646391
I emailed moot informing him I was unable to write a pound sign. Oddly enough, you're allowed to write one on /lit/. On this board, you also can't correctly accent "cliche" and a feel like a knuckle-dragger typing it with no accent.

>>1652408
Boys on the Run is much better, and Ressentiment seems to apply much more than NHK. Both are by the same author.

Tatami Galaxy was a pretty good watch, too.
Jellyfish Princess is a great watch for shoujo version of outcasts

There's several other titles, but my memory is as bad as ever.

/neet/ should be one of the new boards.

MOOT! make it happen.

>>1652408

No! We should all watch GL instead and become manly men!

Rather than waiting to be rescued by some little girl we could drill our way out of our basements and into the Heavenz!!!!

Reporting in.
Again.

Tell me robots, should I take my pills and go to sleep like a good boy, or continue browsing r9k at 2 in the morning lamenting the shittiness of my life?

Good Morning fellow NEETS!

Anyone off to the job centre today?

Does anyone have a mandatory work placement story they wish to share?

>>1653750
>babby's first anime-that-isn't-on-Cartoon-Network

Egh, no thanks

Excellent. The campaign to gain /neet/ is spreading!

>>1657072

Someone bumping a NEET thread in the morning...

Do you realise that neets are generally not early risers?

>>1657072

I have to go today, currently writing a load of bollocks in that shitty diary they give you to "prove" you're looking for work. They don't even read it. Last time I said I applied for a job with the real I.R.A and they just went "that's good, sign here please" and completely ignored it, then went on to tell me that there's a job in a call centre going, despite me telling them every single week i am terrified of phones and that i have crippling anxiety when dealing with people.

I bet they offer me the same thing today again.

>>1657072
Let me tell you something.

If you have a degree, the job centre is useless. They have no idea what to do with you and consequently offer zero help.

CAPTCHA: Scotland, Iternme
(first lulz of the day)

I always used to think that NEET stood for
never even tried

Instead of welfare why doesn't the government just give you a job?

>>1657165

>If you have a degree, the job centre is useless. They have no idea what to do with you and consequently offer zero help.

Na they still dont help you, even if you have something.

All they are there to do is sign off on welfare until the X amount of time is up and they have to start forcing you into public service programs.

>>1657185
Because that would be a whole nother kettle of fish. The UK doesn't take kindly to logic.

>>1657236
public service programs = private contractors ripping off the government.

>>1657237
That's a pretty swell NEET lair, why so dirty though?

>>1657275
Because I have no friends and I don't have "OCD". Being messy is a large part of knowing your true self, or something.

>>1657298
Actually, it's just plain laziness.

I'm technically in university, but never go (dropped out the first time). Education and I don't go well together; the only reason I'm there is because my parents think the only kind of success is academic success, and without them I have nowhere to live.

Have been on JSA, but got booted off it because I refused to apply for one of their shitty call-centre jobs, because I said I can't do things like that.

It wouldn't have been a problem but I know people who never apply to any jobs at all and don't come in, get more money than me, and get their JSA withheld for a week or something as punishment.
>mfw kicked off for 6 months, have to reapply.

I'm NEET, I don't have friends, just the people I play Magic with. The only thing I do that makes me leave the house is play Magic or judge Magic events. Even then I'm anti-social or always anxious. I'm fairly certain I have Social Anxiety. I know for a fact I have PTSD from my abusive father. I don't know what I'm going to do with my life. I can barely hold a conversation that isn't about a topic I have encyclopedic knowledge of. I'm afraid to do anything other than stay inside and read all day. The only two jobs I have had were QA positions my father got me and I was fired from the second one after a month. I feel like I'm flowing in a spiral when the world is a constant circle. I don't fit and that feeling drives me mad.

>>1657237

Oh shit, is Frasier still on channel 4 in the mornings? I fucking love Frasier.

>>1657367
>Actually, it's just plain laziness.
Yeah well, that's just like, your opinion, man.

>>1657434
Yeah every weekday, I've got them all downloaded but in compressed 480p so I watch them on 4 in HD. At Christmas they show 2 every morning too. Simpsons in on 4 every weekend in HD too.

>>1657448

>At Christmas they show 2 every morning too.

They used to do that anyway a few years back.

And then they changed it to 1 episode of Frasier then Will and Grace after it. I got so fucking mad I watched the Jeremy Kyle show in spite.

>that feel when you will never be a classy radio psychiatrist living in downtown seattle in an awesome apartment

;_;

>>1657237
I love the stickers on your T.V.

>>1657490
I'm sure you never will be if you can't appreciate Will and Grace. Seriously though, that show hasn't been on 4 after Frasier in quite a long time...

>>1657493
My autistic brother put them on there and I couldn't bear to take them off... They make a good talking point, at least.

>that feel when you can't imagine a future for yourself.

>>1657573
Unfortunately I do not.

British NEET here, specifically south-east kent.

Been like this for a little under two years, live with my twin brother who works at primark.

Applied for Uni this year, missed the deadline by a few days, January 19th or something, was processed on the 23rd i think, luckily about a week ago i go an email saying one of my 5 choices gave me an unconditional offer.

Waiting on the others, but really i just want out of this lifestyle, wasted my life enough i think.

>be NEET
>Can't afford SF vs Tekken or Mass Effect 3 to play with online friends
1st world neet problems, bawwwwwww

>>1657613
Is that like near canterbury?

i'm 22 brit-neet on the doll..for some reason they aren't forcing me to work in tescos, probably because i have 2 years work experience.

I'm living with my parents until september, where I have a choice of joining the RAF or go to university. As a backup plan i have applied to about 20 different apprenticeships that i'm waiting to hear back from, and a few jobs too.

>>1657619

Yes, Folkestone, so not that far, short bus ride, my dad lives there.

>>1657615
I seriously don't anyone here has such terrible discernment. We may be NEETs, but even we have a modicum of standards when it comes to the vidya.

>>1657622

Which one will you pick?
Military or uni?

>>1657654
i have no clue right now, i guess i have a few months to decide.

Basically I only want to go to uni cos it's been a big goal of mine since i dropped out of school, and it would be a good life experience. With the RAF I think it would be good adventure to have whilst i'm young, whilst learning a new trade skill without paying 9k a year.

Still undecided.

>>1657636
Being elitist is silly. The most fun I've ever had playing games was when I played MW2 with some 14 year olds. Don't reinforce the stereotype of the "better than you" view of PC gamers.

25 yr old never had a job never been on the dole and i'm too embarrassed to go on now after so long unemployed. Live off housing benefit and disability allowance currently. It's not fun.
Can't see any hope of getting a job. Will probably kill myself fairly soon.

My life sucks. sigh.

London NEET here reporting in, I have job centre meeting tomorrow at 3 pm. Im gonna end up walking home through a crowd of secondary and primary school kids which just sounds... terrific.

Last week a bunch of us were sent to do a 2 day course supposed to run from 9 am till 4 pm all about finding a job. Having known that I once did a week long course about the same thing they sent me to this and wasted my time. Most of the other people there had gotten letters saying it was exclusively about interviews and one even had a letter telling her to come in on the monday but not the friday.

Then at the end of all that crap in shit hole brixton both days they surprisingly didn't have petty cash to pay our bus fare... I HATE the jobcentre. If they send me to tescos at this point ill accept happily and work my ass off but the peckham jobcentre prefers to send us on pointless courses designed to "prove were looking for work"

My advisor warned me 2 weeks ago that they're going to be checking booklets more carefully and basically sending us on any volunteer work they can to make Cameron look like he's getting the unemployment figures down. They're even going to start calling us in on Saturdays just to make sure were fully committed. And yes, non-attendance will grant us immediate removal of our JSA

Honestly at my jobcentre half the people are the same shit heads who failed school but the other half are the smartest kids who ended up dropping out because either they got bullied or thought they had some good plan for beating the system. So funny that they ended up in the same situation. The only group I don't like are the ones that always seem to find friends once they get in and treat it like a social gathering. Especially all the Muslim mothers who I've seen selling things on the side of the road when they aren't in the jobcentre... wish I was part of some close knit group like the Turkish muslims or all the Orientals around here.

>>1657790
How the fuck do you even survive in London? You live with your parents? Do you get more benefit money to cover the stupid prices?
I live in Norwich and can hardly get by.

>>1646443

Making more than you spend? Wow, is that the secret to all businesses?

WHY DIDNT I THINK OF THIS SOONER, I SHOULDNT HAVE POSTED THIS OR ELSE PEOPLE WILL STEAL MY IDEA.

>>1646443
Thing about that is you need money in the first place you gigantic retard. You also need to find something with room for competition.

>>1646443
EVERYONE CAN BE RICH

BY SELLING THINGS TO OTHER PEOPLE

IT'S FLAWLESS

>>1657819
same benefits. dont think you can survive in london on normal benefits but yeah i do live with my parents.

I have to leave for my first interview at the Jobcentre.
Will the guy rip into me if I only put:
Emailed CV to barstaff job vacancy
Handed in 1 or 2 CV's in retail stores (no vacancies)
Searched sites daily for new vacancies

What do you guys think? I don't know why but.. I'm nervous as all hell

>>1657862
you should throw on some fake ones about applying for vacancies online but if its ur first i think theyll just say you need to do more and explain how many a week is minimum. So just chill. Jobcentre barely cares anyway

Gonna be NEET after I graduate, moving in with my dad in walsall (oh boy oh boy). I doubt I'll be able to get a graduate job straight after I leave uni, so I need to research getting JSA in advance to support myself. I'm planning on saving up for a year so I can fuck off and get a masters degree abroad where it's cheaper.

Any britfags got any protips for getting on the dole/job center shit? Do any of you volunteer? I'm signing up for a bunch of volunteering opportunities to fill out my CV and give me something to do.

>>1657867
Thank you, newfriend.
I'm only semi-NEET, but I get nervous about these things for some reason.

>>1657877
I find if you are polite but act like you don't have a fucking clue what's going on it works well. You really want a job but this whole Jobcenter thing scares you. Needs more explanation than that but I'm drunk as a very drunk person right now.

>>1657862

At the jobcentre i go to the guys are all chill and don't give a fuck, pretty much as long as i put down 2 or 3 vague things they don't care, one of them, a guy in his 50's i think hardly bothers speaking at all, even though he looks kinda stern.

It's the women i have to watch out for, they seem to really lay on the pressure if you don't have like 6 things in detail (reference number/email addresses) on there.

luckily all my interviews, which happen about once every 1-2 months or so, are usually done by the same guy who is pretty friendly, so i don't get too much hassle.

>>1657883
I'm generally polite anyway, but I'll try my best to act even more clueless than I already am.
I really have no idea what the hell I'm doing :/

I guess I should go now, it's in 40mins and I wanna watch tv and try think to myself I'm not as anti-social than I actually am lol

>>1657862
go on reed.com and apply for all the admin jobs that have like 500 applications each

>>1657894
Fuck yeah, I'm getting interviewed by a guy, so hope he's chill and layed back..
I'll be back in about an hr or so.

>>1657871
Oh, I have another question. How much of your time does all the JSA shit take? I have no idea how the process works.

Would they pull my benefits if I started a small business selling figurines? I'm thinking of starting up an etsy store of me making cute models to sell to weaboos. And drawing porn, that's always an option.

we should all skype and discuss the different ways we make ends meet.

A friend of mine thats did cisco at college then games design at uni goes through websites like free cycle and gumtree looking for broken laptops and computer parts then repairs them if he can and sells them on. In a month he can make up to 400 pounds while he collects JSA.

Other people I know publish a christian and jehovas witness monthly magazine (two seperate ones obviously) and sell the subsciptions to the religious. They only make around 100 a month but that sounds alot better when you think that they do 15 minutes of work a week and get 25 pounds for it.

I just walk dogs but I take them out for an hour a night all at the same time and just jog through the park with them in tow then walk around for a bit. Keeps my fitness up and makes me 20 pounds a week cash in hand for doing something I always did anyway with my own dog.

Also have free 50mb/s internet and tv for the next 3 months for complaining to virgin about their continuous disconnections and threatening to switch to BT. Did the same to the insurance company and have dropped the monthly price for the next year my more than half. Why did I go through the first 20 years of my life not complaining about everything?

>>1657790
They sent me on one of those courses. It was week long and it was hilarious. Most of the other people acted like twelve-year-olds. At one point, the woman giving the course told this lad

>If you don't stop swinging on your chair, I'm going to make you stand outside

Next thing he'd fallen off his chair.

When she asked them to stop swearing they all started swearing about ten times more.

And we were sent for an emergency first aid day long course and this one guy, he must have had Oppositional Defiant Disorder or something, was playing at rocking the baby-sized resuscitation dummy then having it "walk" on the table then started pretending to punch it until the woman giving the course took it off him.

Afterwards she said "What was that guy on?" and I had to say "Oh, he's always like that".

There was this one fairly respectable guy who'd only just lost his job and seemed pretty employable and over the course of the week I saw him degenerate and start acting just like the others.

>>1657947
if youre making money then you shouldnt be on JSA so just do it in a way that wont get you caught. If you can then use a friend or family member's name and bank account for the money to go into.

As for the timing you call up first and they ask you questions about your living situation for 20-40 minutes then they schedule an interview with you. Interview is at a local jobcentre and take about 15 minutes then you just fill in a booklet with the ways youve been trying to find work and bring it in every 2 weeks to speak to an adviser for about 5 minutes. Though you usually end up waiting 10-20 minutes to speak to your adviser.

>>1657961
Yes well thats the major problem with jobseekers. If you get treated like a retard who doesnt know anything eventually you realize theres no point in being anything else. Ive seen so many people trying hard to get on training courses and being told just to apply for new jobs instead or go on a job search training course.

>>1657948
This definitely intrigues my inner pikey. If I had some capital I'd definitely be doing what some of the guys over at HUKD are - buying on sale video games and selling them for profit on eBay.

What about amazon turk and other survey shit? Or bitcoin mining?

The HUKD one sounds interesting. The other ones rely too much on the internet for me. I never trust something thats completely up to the whims of someone youve never met.

Looking at the offer of ff xiii new for 20 on play seems pretty good though since alot of copies are still going for 25 pounds

I'm not a NEET technically (attending university) but I sure feel like it. If I don't have any busy shit on it I tend to attend 1-2 days a week anyway.

>>1657976
Bitcoin mining doesn't work unless you have a very powerful computer, preferably
several, and you don't pay for electricity. (And you parents aren't going to shout at you). It costs more in power than it makes.

>graduated last summer
>been on dole ever since
>only had 3 interviews
>at least 50 applicants per job

i have decided to go back to university and do a masters course in half a years time

job centre stories are always good value.

>>1658125
So many jobless grads. England is a wasteland.

>>1658132
''England is mine and it owes me a living''

Hmmm

>>1657976
I think everyone has that inner pykee somewhere deep down.
Skype: Squall.loire3

This is a new lost generation.

The western world is sadly stuffed.

>>1658125
what in where from and what grade?

>>1658100
Ah well, it was an idea.

Has anybody seen the extreme couponing stuff in the US? I didn't think it was feasible here until I saw a show on 4oD of a lady getting 95% off in tescos. I'm totally going to give it a go as soon as I have enough time to get all the research in.

Shit these threads are amazing. So many people in my position. Graduated uni, go on the dole, try to get a job but EVERYTHING demands experience. I'd like to see more job centre stories. This poster (>>1646701) REALLY fucking hit home for me.

I dropped out in Grade 12 and I have no intentions of going back to school.

Come at me bro.

>>1658185
You have to dumpster dive and get coupons from friends and stuff.

It's not as easy as it looks.

>>1658192
Can't you lie on your CV and provide fake references? I'm sure a lot of people do that.

>>1658208
I have two academic references on my CV.

>>1658216
I meant fake references for pretend previous employers (maybe a friend/relative really)

Well.. I've just got back from JC
It was pretty damn easy, the indian guy didn't even ask me about what I've done
but we did look at jobs that're in the area I'm looking for.

He's really friendly, we chatted about normal stuff for a good 5 mins, get my first money on friday :D

>>1658263
I've been wondering if background checks expose those things.

>>1658265
sweeeeeeeeettttttttttt

(this is original)

>>1658263
>>1658267
They're not easy to fake convincingly. No one is going to believe a mobile number is legit, and you can easily look up a phone number to see if it corresponds with the business you say it does.

And you can't just make up jobs if you've never had one because of P45s they expect to see.

Any other NEETS have no idea what to do with their life?

Ive dropped out of a couple of uni courses and no have no idea.

Any suggestions?

>>1658279
Become an artist
Learn programming and create a hit indie game
Sell stuff you buy at thrift stores and garage sales online
make your own business

Or, just get a normal job.

>>1658275
Can't you get VOIP phone numbers that look like landline numbers with area codes and everything now?

>>1658284
You're still fucked if they so much as type in the phone number to Google. Fine maybe if you're trying to work at Tesco or McDonalds, doubt they check references, but in a real job they will do background checks often.

bumping back up to the #1 position,.

NEETs, please share your stories.

I wonder if I could get government backing to create a charity in the form of a training camp that also has small business attached. I would specifically hire shutins/neckbeards/aspies and teach them how to become a functioning member of society. I could make my money from rich parents forcing their asshole neckbeard kids to go to IRL camp, and then spread the wealth amongst poorer NEETs.

>>1658325

society sucks and the people who function the best in it are assholes and monsters

>>1658325
I've always had a dream of building a gaming house and filling it with neets/weird people.

They would earn me money somehow, and get food + gaming paid for.

SHUT UP, the business plan is still being formulated.

>>1658345
why not get a whole bunch of artistic ones to work together on projects? Get some writers, artists, coders, programmers, musicians, etc. Rent a house with a big ass living room and a few rooms then get everyone sharing ideas and working together to create stuff.

writers and artists could create novels that appeal to the younger generation. Throw in some people that can create games and you could make simple games with alot of effort put in. Add in a musician and youve suddenly got a brand new unique soundtrack that could either come out awesome or flop terribly.

Youd just need to find people that work with eachother well and actually want to do it rather than just laze around playing games and surfing the web all day. That would be the hard part.

>>1658345

You want to create /v/ in real life?

Oh shit, nigger. What are you doing?

>>1658454
The hard part is financing, but if I ever run into a lump sum of cash this is what I'm doing.

Would be hard to weed out the leeches that won't contribute and the genuine guys.

>>1658464
well why not find people that have small amounts of start up cash all to pool together? Ive been a NEET for 2 years but from JSA and random crap I can do around the house Ive saved up 3200 pounds. Im sure others are in a similar situation especially if they are the type that you want that really wanna do something like this and give it their all.

you now realize that NEET, otaku, and such are today's counterculture

you realize such manually

>>1658345

inb4 the normalfags shit it up

or you get overrun by chavs

>>1658506

>inb4 the normalfags shit it up

OH GOD JUST LIKE /v/

THERE'S NO ESCAPE

>>1658493
realized that for ages. For about 3 years now its been growing especially among those with higher intelligence than is the norm. Now theres so many people with no experience and no jobs while people with years of experience are being thrown out of their previous jobs and applying over those without experience. All the youth population who would normaly take the shit tier jobs cant even work at mcdonalds or tescos so where do we have to go? Were screwed until the next proper war comes along and deals with our population issues.
Yes I am welcoming world war 3 with open arms. Hell if I even slightly believed it I'd be hoping for something huge to happen december 21st. Aliens, solar flare so strong we lost all computers a black hole, the world ending atleast those of us with our youth and inexperience would have a chance to prove ourselves.

>>1646391
>absolutely nothing in return
Except experience. And you get free money from the government. You pieces of shit make me sick. When I'm PM then none of you lazy pieces of shit will ever get any "free" money. Go die.

>>1657133
Problem is that the government only makes your problems worse. If it was starvation of "crippling anxiety" you WOULD get over your problems. Instead your a pathetic cunt who will never get over their problems because you don't have to. I have no sympathy for the likes of you.

>>1646255
>Aged 22, still living with parents.
>didn't go uni but have other good qualifications and work experience.
>tfw the jobcentre sends me on two work programs where I have had to work up to 6 weeks (unpaid, and no job offers at the end)

if you ever work at any "job" for a fucking minute without getting paid or a guarantee of remuneration in writing you're a gullible fuck who will always be poor

anyone else here about to turn 20, never had a job, not going into college or uni, have no friends (literally, none), barely ever come in contact with your family, and just stay in your room all day and night?

>>1665167

You and 47% of 4chan

As expected 4chan is full of neets.

>>1665194

well fuck you normalfag for stating the obvious.

bump for more neets in the board.

Early morning neet wake up bump.

What are you doing today fellow NEET?

>>1666102

Me, a normalfag? I'm insulted! I'll have you know that I am probably one of the most pathetic guys on 4chan! I'm so fucked up I should have an entire thread dedicated to my life failures!

>>1667829
I'm sure can be created once /neet/ is approved.

>>1668190

That's a pretty good idea, but I feel like moot is using the "create-a-board to contain the cancer" strategy a little too much. /vp/, /mlp/, /soc/, next thing you know we'll have /dub/ (fingers crossed, I'd never leave that board lol).

Seriously, /neet/ would be cool, but he might as well specify that baww/foreveralone threads are to be posted there too. People like us are one of the biggest cancers of this site tbh.

>>1667829

>using an anime reaction image for every post

Yeah, you really are the worst of us.

>>1668228
/neet/ is for neets only not whine threads in which you moan about being a teenager who can't get a girlfriend.

>>1668228
>>1668190
I remember when /jp/ was basically a /neet/ board. There was also this one story of neet who got called to jury duty. He barely made it threw the ordeal and was even dismissed but then he got lost using the bus. Just when all was lost and he was about to break down in tears at a convenience store, he was approached by latinos with tatoos. He assumed the worst but they endedup being nice and gave him a ride home.

>>1668228
>i'd never leave that board lol
>People like us are one of the biggest cancers of this site
You're right, people like you are the biggest cancers on this site.

You're a 3rd wave DURR 4CHAN SO COOL piece of shit.

>>1668241

I like Kamina's face.

>>1668331

Yeah I'm pretty awful, but don't I get points for honesty?

>>1668243

I always thought that neet culture and foreveralone guys were pretty much the same, no point splitting hairs imo. I mean you're sitting on your ass complaining about not having a job, admitting its your own fault, yet you feel superior to the guy bawwing over his lack of sexual experience?

A NEET thread has become a hate thread.
The Daily Mail has won.

Being a temporary NEET fucking sucks. Even if you have some mental disorder, why would you not do something about it so that eventually you could get a job or go to school. Just for the sake of being independent.

>>1668408
When you are a NEET the time flys. Days become weeks which become months.

>>1668376

what are your goals and aspirations? Do you even have friends on the internet or are you always alone?

>>1668408
if you have the drive to be independent, you aren't a NEET.
you might be dropping out, between jobs, looking for change, whatever, but you aren't stalling like a NEET.

>>1668424

My main focus is to get my "an hero kit" ready just in case my life gets even more out of hand, I need a quick reliable way out while I figure out what I'm gonna do. Other than that I'm just playing old vidya games, fapping, and browsing 4chan/eventhubs.

I have one really good friend, hes away having a life though, he was a lot like me at one time, but then he leveled up, you know how it goes. No friends online though, I only use the internet to waste time until I eventually fall asleep.

What about you guys? You gotta have a plan, certainly you're not planning on living like this 4ever.

>>1668443
I've been a NEET since August. I hope to get a job soon, once I get my shit straightened out. I'll be back at university in the Fall. I am stalling due to depression/anxiety bullshit. I'm scared of getting a job; I snapped and quit my last one in the summer because my mental disorders came to a head. Medication doesn't do shit; antidepressants are proven no better than placebo. I haven't found the right therapy yet either so I'm at a standstill until I get proper help.

>>1668508
>preparing your exit kit
I always thought that if you can't even assemble an exit kit without re-thinking your an-heroing, then you're an utter idiot, and it wasn't the right time yet.

>>1668508
I was thinking of applying for a gun so I could hunt and stuff.

Turns out its too complicated in Canada so I'm not going to bother.

>>1668534

I don't understand what you're trying to say. You're saying I can't assemble it, or...

>>1668544

I heard the helium thing works really well.

You know how every time someone post their suicide method and theres like 5 guys who explains exactly why it wouldn't work or why it would be painful, I never see that when someone mentions this. I feel like eventually this gonna be THE way to an hero.

>>1668554
I'm saying that you should do the prep work only once you're ready to go.

>>1668571

Honestly at this point I feel like my time is near, so I'm just making sure I'm prepared and know what the hell I'm doing.

Theres a sweet spot in a NEET's life where his parents don't really give a fuck that hes wasting his life away, but once that timer runs out you either face the world or face the music.

>>1668508

>you aren't planning on living this way forever

you mean as a shut in recluse living with my parents? No, but I couldn't see myself getting any friends or living on my own, let alone getting a job. You seem a lot more normal than you appear.

>>1668508

what do you talk about with your one friend? How close are you with your family members? how old are you?

>>1668638

>You seem a lot more normal than you appear.

I hope you're wrong about that. I like to think I'm batshit insane and that the world isn't as fucked up as I think it is.

>>1668643

>what do you talk about with your one friend?

Anything, the cool thing about really clicking with someone is that you can be talking about any bullshit topic and it'll be the most interesting/funny convo ever.

Visiting the job centre today. #fml.

Done spending 2 hours entering contests... When will it be my turn for a European vacation? ;_;

>>1668568
It sounds like it can be pretty fucked up to me.

Michael is that you? Get a job already man!

>>1668784
hundreds of Michaels see that post and panic.

>>1668784
Does anyone else hate faggots trying to call out friends on 4chan?

It's like they think it's they social cliques little club.

>>1668508
Go out and apply for interesting sounding jobs.

My recommendation: Security on a cruise ship.

>>1668708

If you have social skills and a really good friend then why the fuck do you think you're batshit insane?

>>1668799

>social skills
>implying

You know you don't have to be a hermit in the forest to be crazy. Guys who rob and kill people have friends/girlfriends, would you call them normal? I just feel detached from reality, its not just that can't function within society, a part of me doesn't even want to.

>>1668777

Read that a while ago, I guess shit could happen but when done correctly this method has a very high success rate, I've read the book and everything and I have faith that it will work.

Besides, waking up in a pool of vomit seems a lot better than waking up with half your face gone from a shotgun blast.

I think I'm on the path to becoming a neet. Fuck. I just realized how much time had gone by. And I haven't done anything.

FUCK

...I'll start writing a novel. Tomorrow.

>>1669067
See you in 2 years OP, hows that book of yours going?

"Oh... I've only done 1 page. "

>>1668846

how would you describe your personality with your friend and in public when you DO go out? How are you like with your parents and siblings?

>>1669148
HEY YOU

YES YOU, THE RETARD THAT CONSTANTLY ASKS THESE QUESTIONS.

FUCK OFF

>Have agoraphobia
>Receive disability benefits
>Spend every single day doing what i love
>mfw i love my life

>>1669172
Or, you know, you could actually make an attempt to work through your problems and have a better life instead of just mooching off the state.

>>1669178
And why would i do that my dear anon?
>problems
What problems? Even if i didn't have agoraphobia i'd still have no reason to leave my house.

>>1669067

I promised myself that if I somehow survive my first suicide attempt I'd dedicate my life to writing a cool book, I always come with these ideas that eventually go nowhere because I move on to a new project, all in my head of course.

>>1669148

One word, oddball. I'm really quiet, but once I'm spoken to I can't control the more eccentric side of me, which leaves people thinking something is wrong with me.

And whats with all the questions bro, you making a psychological profile on NEETs or something?

YOU ALL MAKE ME SICK.

GET A FUCKING JOB YOU LAZY ASPIE FUCKS.

***********************
even if that means cutting old ladies lawns for free, go and fucking do something with your life.
GO LIFT WEIGHTS.
STOP REFRESHING 4CHAN AND GO PICK HEAVY THINGS UP AND DOWN

read sticky on /fit/, stop eating shit.

>>1669188
>And why would i do that my dear anon?
So that you could do something productive with your life and actually support yourself. I take pride in being financially independent and productive; I would quickly get depressed if I had to rely on someone else and wasn't independent.

How don't you feel bad about yourself that you're pretty much a drain on society? You're the kind of lazy person making the world a worse place...

>What problems? Even if i didn't have agoraphobia i'd still have no reason to leave my house.
To go to school or to work.

Get off your fat lazy ass and do something...

>>1669202
>implying I'm not a /fit/ neet
Some of us already lift, the others? They don't want to.

Chill out retard.

>>1669202
Thank you, I 100% agree with your comment.

I just can't understand and wrap my head around the idea that someone can be happy doing absolutely nothing with their life. I would feel guilty as fuck and get bored out of my mind and eventually fall into a depression.

>>1669206
>stay in room all day
Yeah guys, were fucking ruining the world.

No, the people that go out and wreak havoc ruin the world. We don't want to be involved with the world.

Were not out raping, robbing, or doing crimes. Were in our rooms.

>>1669206
>Do something productive
So basically, work? Don't think so Tim. I've never worked a day in my life and i ain't starting now.
>I would quickly get depressed if I had to rely on someone else and wasn't independent.
I'm not you
>How don't you feel bad about yourself that you're pretty much a drain on society?
Nope
>Fat lazy ass
I'm lazy but i'm certainly not fat, i own exercise equipment i use everyday and i eat fuck all.

>>1669227
The /fit/ newbie thinks everyone on r9k is fatasses.

I think some guy did a survery, 80% are normal weight/borderline underweight.

Very few fatasses.

>>1669208
dude I'm a trust fund baby.
I HAVE never HAD to work.

Every year a magic 200,000 pops into my bank account. i went to charter house. I have holiday homes across the world, and have flown first class more times than you have had hot dinners.

I spend my days volunteering, not playing video games. I ran a small hedge fund, (played the futures markets) and sold the company on for 40,000,000. anyways no idea why I am on 4chan.

GET THE FUCK UP, AND DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR LIFE

>>1669216
That's all well and fine to stay in your room and not go out into the world... BUT, the problem comes when you're staying in your room is financially draining someone else (parents, guardians, the government, etc). That's when it becomes not okay.

>>1669227
But WHY don't you have any desire to do anything with your life? I always thought humans had an instinctual drive to do... something... if your parents, the state, whoever, etc cut you off, it'd do you some good.

>>1669243
>Born into wealth
>WHY AM I SO SUCCESSFUL AND YOU ARE NOT? I DON'T UNDERSTAND RARHARHRHRARHRGGGHHH

>>1669250
>all humans have a drive

My drive is to shitpost all day on 4chan and immerse myself in as many cartoons as I can.

>>1669202
I deadlift >5plates, why the fuck would lifting have anything to do with NEET status?

>>1669243
If this is true... then alright, I guess that's fine... (if you actually volunteer and do things that are productive). Volunteering, traveling, experiencing new things, etc these are acceptable. Sitting around playing video games in a dark hole for 16 hours a day and mooching off your already struggling parents, however, is not.

>>1669252
by the nature of being a NEET you come from a wealthy family.

>>1669250
I don't know either and i love it.

>>1669271
You need money to make money

if I had 200 grand sitting around I'd start a business and not be a NEET. I don't have a cent because my family is poor.

Need money to make money.

>>1669216

Yeah, I'm all for productivity, but don't act like you're such a "productive member of society" just because you stock shelves at a grocery store or sell tvs at best buy.

I know I'm not actually a NEET, but my situation is close and a little weird.

>be 22, final University semester
>Parents are control freaks, too much childhood scarring to break off from control. Can't go out unless I ask them. Have to get home before 9 pm if I ever go out.
>Assisted to 4 parties during the 4 years of college, gotten drunk probably 2 times out of depression.
>Having two friends, never really hang out with them
>Travel every day to another state to get to Uni. Chances of hanging out are nule. No friends from high school because the situation was similar. Bullied all the way through middle school
>No job in sight, parent's won't allow it.
>Get home, browse 4chan and the internet all day
>Meet people online, make a few friends (struggling).
>Mother checks on me constantly to assure I'm not talking to them, a lot of them think I got bored, others stop talking to me for no reason. Blocked everywhere


My biggest hope is that when I finish Uni I get a half decent job to live on my own.But I'm scared I will not be able to break off from my horrible reclusive habits and stay forever inside my apartment

>>1669281
No one is ever happy. If my NEET self got a lowly minimum wage job people would still judge me.

"Look at him! He works for $10 an hour let's all laugh! HAHAHAHAHAH"

Either way, I'm stuck in a hole that I don't want to crawl out of.

>>1669290
>"Look at him! He works for $10 an hour let's all laugh! HAHAHAHAHAH"
You think that happens, but it really doesn't. Especially in this economy, the thoughts have shifted to:

>Well, at least he has a job, that's more than a lot of people can say.

Stop fucking caring about what people think.

>>1669290

The way the economy is now most people would probably think you were lucky for having a job, also you shouldn't worry about what other people think, the greater you become the more haters you will have.

>>1669313
>>1669317
These Anons have the right idea!

>>1669313
Yeah, it's a start, but if I stayed in such a job I'd still go nowhere in life.

I'd have to go to college or university, and I'm not fit for that.

Either way with NEET or shit job I go nowhere. At least as a NEET I can spend my time fapping, watching cartoons, and playing games.

Gratification versus being treated like a monkey by managers.

Ausfag here. I get to live off of 130 dollars a fortnight now while my mental illness medication "stabilizes". They expect this to take around 9 months. After that, it's off to the employment agencies and other bollocks to get stuck doing something I hate for the rest of my life.

As long as I don't have to talk to many people, and I earn enough just to rent a shit house and fill it with weeaboo shit, I'm good. Life is pretty shit right now, though. I'd like to spend all of my cash on alcohol but I can't do that.

>>1669330
Well, this is where we're just different then, I guess.

I get gratification by going to work, putting in my hours, and then coming home and relaxing after working hard.

You get gratification from staying home, fapping, watching television, and playing games.

I like doing all the things you listed, but in moderation. If I did them all day, everyday, I'd get bored with them. I much prefer to just do them on the weekends and in my spare evening time.

Am I the only one here that's about to turn 20 and never had a job and isn't going into a college or uni?
