Apart from going to uni, not much. Feels NEET as fuck man.

Being a useless hunk of flesh.
As always.

>>1679385
>going to uni

I don't think so tim.

i actually have to go to the job centre later on today. hurray

>>1679385
NEET = "not in education, employment, or training"

um...

Gonna play through all of ME3, ohyeeeeeeah

>>1679385
I get how this is technically a NEET thing to do, maybe Hikikimori is better or worse to describe this. But I'm in the same boat as you man. Don't verbally talk to anyone all day, just draw in my book during lectures. Best feeling in the world getting home

>>1679378
The same thing I do everyday, read the shit that gets posted here, listen to some music, collect pictures of anime/manga that I'd watch/read later and play some old vidya.

I'll just be on my computer all day, browsing 4chan, watching jewtube videos etc.. Like every other day.

Trying to summon up the enthusiasm to clean the house. It's been a while.

Days fly by then months then years...

yessssssssssssssssssssssss.
New NEET thread.
>>1646255 is still up however.

Needs more job centre stories.

You should see how many students on twitter are like "fml going down the job centre" today. I think results are out or something.

youth unemployment is insanely high now. even graduates are just getting min. wage jobs.

I'm in 2 week break between terms, so I guess I'm technically NEET until the next term begins. Feels great, mang.

I had an interview of Monday and I'm just waiting to hear back from them now.

This could be it. 5 years of NEET lifestyle are coming to an end. I'm scared ... makes me want to jeopardize it somehow and remain NEET forever and ever AMEN.

Also:

>Don't usually have to go to jobcentre due to income support, fuck yeah
>Get called in randomly (probably so it looks like they're at least TRYING to make an effort with me)
>Approaching the entrance
>Two guys, scruffy as fuck, loitering directly outside the doors
>As I pass, one of them clearly hands the other some money. The other one takes it, then hands him some pills, and possibly a quart of solid.
>No discretion
>10 in the morning
>Dealing outside the jobcentre

Fuck, I hate that place. There's always at least 3 scumbag cunt chavs smoking outside the entrance, giving anyone their own age death-glares.

>Check city job site every day
>Probably 8-12 new jobs a day
>Everything usually requires 3-5 years experience for some simple task someone could learn in a day and master in a week
>"Looking for a team player" lol
>"People skills" lol

I don't even go to the actual job center but sometimes there will be a "fill out application online at x" or I might be able to google the title and find the place.

Things were easier back in the day when employers couldn't pull up your life's history in 5 minutes and lying was actually an option.

Go the gym,, if I can find somewhere that sells helium cannisters I'll pick one up, come back home, apply for jobs and continue feeling like shit.

The longer this goes on the shittier I feel, my mum gets back from holiday in a couple of days and I know I'm going to get more shit about how I'm lazy fucker because I can't find a job.

>tfw I have a cushty job where all I do is browse 4chan for most of the day and no one cares if you roll in 20 minutes late so long as it's not like EVERY day

I only get shit money, like barely take home a grand a month, but it will increase every year, some people here on home 19-22k

I was NEET once, you can fall on your feet

>>1679494
Walmart sells a helium canister I believe. For tubing, you'll need to measure the canister's nozzle circumference and buy it from a hardware store. Use an oven bag and tape your neck (not air tight).

The job centre asked if I considered work experience (where I may or may not get a job at the end) because I've been out of work so long. I agreed.
2 days ago, I get a phone call telling me I have an interview the next day.

I prepared all my shit, got there early, and they saw me right away. The boss was busy, so some really attractive woman walked me into the interview area, offered me a seat, and we casually discussed transport and why I was interested in the job. I didn't even realise the interview had started, its the first time I've been calm in one.
then the boss guy walks in, looking very similar to Robert De Nero. He shakes my hand and sits down. He explains the job role, asks a couple of questions, but nothing serious like my strengths and weaknesses, what my friends think of me, or any other usual job bullshit. All that preparation in the car on the way over there for nothing.
He did however comment that I looked very nervous, which alarmed me because I didn't think I was showing it. It'd only came about after he entered the room.
He asked if I had any questions, and I asked what he'd most like to see in me if I were to actually try to get a job at the end. He answered some generic qualities, but said being a fast learner was important. He offered me a tour of the place, and I took it. Then I was on my way.
It was a pretty cool interview. It probably doesn't count as a real one.

>>1679485

I've lied like fuck recently about the gap of 5+ years in my CV, and it has landed me interviews. When I asked why I didn't get the job, they said they were pleased with my performance, but I was beaten to the post by people with more experience (such as people applying internally and such). Shit sucks, but you can lie and get away with it, but it has to be plausible.

Those living with well off parents, can you still claim job seekers allowance or does it only work if you're on housing benefit in your own house with no additional income?

Also, I was thinking of trying to claim some obscure mental illness for either disability living allowance or employment and support allowance. Any tips or success stories?

As soon as I finish uni this may, I'm jumping STRAIGHT on the JSA train. Fuck this shit.

I read that the graduate unemployment rate is above 20% now. Even going to uni does not make finding a job any easier these days.

>>1679485
Fucking THIS

>apply to 7 pound an hour admin. assistant job
>just above min. wage

>>1679514
I don't think they ever asked my parents income when I applied for jobseeker's, the last time was about three years ago though

29 years old, unemployed for 4 and a half years, no qualifications

Beyond hope. My life is over

>>1679514
Yes you can get JSA. Just not Housing Benefit, Council Tax Benefit etc.

Does anyone here constantly get hassled from their parents? I graduated in the summer (BA History) and I think my mother naively thought I would have a job earning 25k by now. She just thinks I am a lazy douche. I am trying though, I have even been applying to a few minimum wage jobs (though I refuse to apply for fast food/cleaner positions).

>>1679528
What sort of incomes qualify for housing benefit and council tax benefit? I'm trying to work out if I can afford to move out. 26 and living at home...a lot of disposable income but getting to the point where it'd look better to women if I survived off baked beans but at least had my own place.

>>1679497
I think we're going to need a job title.

>>1679520

That's because anyone can go to Uni these days. The requirements for getting in are so low, and people come out with higher marks from 6th form, because tests are easier. So you get people who do well going to Uni, but you also get all those people who do mediocre to bad getting in, too.

They take really shit, pointless degrees, and when they graduate with unimpressive GPA's and can't get jobs, they have no other choice than to go the Way of the Job Seeker.

>>1679514
DLA/ESA isn't that easy to get on. The DLA form was 50-something pages long when I applied and you need a supportive doctor who can provide sick notes.

They're throwing tons of genuinely mentally ill people off ESA so it's really not that easy.

>>1679534
Baby boomers will never ever get it.

Also, cleaning as a temporary solution is actually a pretty chilled job. Places are usually closed/closing when you work. If it's a 'keyholder' position even better.

>>1679520
I got AAAB at A-level (Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Psychology).
I graduated with a 2:1 science degree from a top 5 university. It feels like my degree is doing fuck all for me in getting a job right now.
I really regret not doing Medicine or Engineering, something that lands you right into a job.

>>1679545

Oh, and also a lot of them just go to Uni for the social aspect. Most of them will not graduate.

>>1679552
What is your degree? What subject?

>>1679537
If you have less than 8000 pounds savings you could go on JSA and get housing benefit etc. What type of income are you getting though? I think you're allowed to work less than 15 hours or something but they can monitor your bank account for anything else.

>>1679580
Like about 14k a year

I don't want to claim JSA and couldn't since I have a full time job, just housing benefit.

HB is for 'low incomes' as much as the unemployed, was my understanding.

>>1679557
Graduating is insanely easy, it's just that if you get below a 2:1 it's basically useless.

>>1679557
Biology, I don't really want to be more specific than that though. I wanted to be a researcher when I was applying, my course killed that dream for me.

I mean they will drop out before even getting to the 3rd year. It might be easy to graduate, but I think a lot of mediocre students go to Uni for the wrong reasons, find that they can't handle working independently and lengthy essays, then drop out after they've blown their loans on booze and luxuries all year.

I see people complaining about it all the time. They're taking these fucking useless degrees like psychology and what not, then complain about EVERY deadline, always with 'fml i hate this course/it's too hard/I want to drop out'.

I do realise there are people who bust their asses at uni, graduate with respectable averages with a respectable degree and STILL can't find work, but I think they are the minority.

2 time uni and 1 time NHD dropout reporting in!

(yes my life does suck)

Man, if you knew just how much shit there is out there that needs a psychologists input, you'd go and study it.

Helps if you're at the world leading university for psych research like I am, though.

On a side note, I feel sorry for you NEETs

>>1679653
Turning 21 this year as well.

Psychology is known for being one of those 'mickey mouse' subjects, along with media studies and sociology.

What I mean to say is, though, that people will take it because they think things like 'oh, I'll get to interpret peoples dreams and stuff, hurr hurr' but then don't stop to think that there's TONS of other bullshit to learn besides that. Also 'Now I will be able to assess people accurately on first meeting and know their every flaw xD' is another one. That's what I mean by doing it for the wrong reasons.

>>1679675

I find it funny how everyone assumes this is how it always is. There are some benefit claimers who are biding time and are preparing to enter a career. Not all of them sit on their asses claiming free money. Don't let those kinds of people taint the credibility of the ones who aren't selfish.

It's absolutely terrible. Nobody should get any money from the government. All aid should be in the form of voluntary charity.

>inb4 eugenics

>>1679860
Looks like we have randroid on r9k

>>1679875

What about them? If other people want to support them, they can donate to them directly or to a charity set up to support them.

>>1679886
Nobody will ever donate anything though.

I will fill out a couple of applications online and see how fast they reject me. Then I will watch anime and play vidya at the same time.

>>1679888

Are you sure? For instance, would you not donate?

Even if few people did end up donating, the government still doesn't have the right to take from some people and give to other people, without the total mutual agreement of all parties involved. It's just totally unfair. I don't want to have to pay money so some idiot hundreds of kilometres away can extend his life a few more years with medical treatment.

>>1679903
Yes i am sure, heck your own post proves it.

>>1679909

Does it? I'd donate to save the life of a young child that lived nearby me. If everybody did that we'd have a good functioning system for medical care for children.

>>1679914
Wait a second, you believe that if everyone would donate things would be better yet if its forced indirectly through taxes is a bad thing?
Whats the difference?

>>1679922

The difference is, currently the government is forcing me to spend money on a lot of things I don't want to spend money on. It's also terribly inefficient.

>>1679931
>a lot of things I don't want to spend money on.
Like what? Benefits for those who are disabled/are unable to fend for themselves? But you already said you would have no problem donating for such a cause (unless you meant children only).
>>1679931
>It's also terribly inefficient.
Elaborate. I am guessing you talk about the cases where benefits cause to people who don't deserve them and cheat the system for them. True they are a problem but by completely removing this system even those who really need the money get hurt.

Australian 20 year old white male here. Getting the dole is a long and annoying process and because my mother earns 60 a year I was given $26 a fortnight which was pretty lol. But if I had just lied and got my mother to sign some paper work saying we had an abusive relationship and I couldn't live with her then I would have gotten something better. The money didn't bother me because I don't really give a shit but I actually thought they were going to help me with a job but unless you have been out of work for at least 3 months all you can do is use the computers.

>>1679959

>But you already said you would have no problem donating for such a cause

I might donate very occasionally. But the truth is I really couldn't care less if somebody doesn't get the medical care they "need".

>Elaborate.

Governments are always less efficient than private enterprise.

>NEET
>Has nice, but affordable apartment
>On welfare

FEELS GOOD MAN.

Srsly, being a neet is awesome. I know I have to take up education at some point, but this is the best thing that has happened to me in ages.

What's the difference between "neet" and unemployed ? I don't get it.

>>1680058
A NEET isn't in education or training in addition to not working.

>>1680082
So, it is like a hobo ?

>>1680092
Kind of. Though most live with their parents.

>>1680045
How do I do this?

>desposit for

Nothing cool about being NEET guys, work of any form gives you independence and value to society. Unless you enjoy being a nihilistic narcissist? Then go right ahead!

How do you neets support yourselves without any income?

Just curious.

Was a NEET for a year. It's fun at first but it soon gets tiresome especially when you realize
>The best years of your life are passing by
>You can't afford to travel,go to gigs/social events

your imagination is far greater than reality, that's why you were NEET in the first place.

>>1680414
Nice troll.

It's not my imagination mate - I was sailing off the coast of Vietnam a few months back and chilling with bros in Hong Kong. It's better than going down the Job Centre trust me.

Girls don't get hot for guys on Job Seekers Allowance who live with their parents - I know, I remember.

I think its healthy to have some time unemployed though - puts things into focus about what you want to achieve in life.

>>1680333
Some of us find alternative income

(Not sharing, more competition = less money)

How did you guys end up like this? I have a friend who wanted to pursue other things and dropped out in second year. I'm pretty sure hes done none of it. Didn't join the military, peace core, or teaching in Asia. Feels bad cause he was really smart, but I think he just smokes cigs and live a semi beatnik lifestyle. This shit wouldn't be tolerated in my house, plus I'd feel kinda discusted with my self so I dunno.

how many of you neets here never even tried to get a job and isn't going to a college or a uni?

>>1680534

>>1680559
What do you do with them? Just store them on your HDD? It's kind of interesting because most people on /r9k/ hate how they look.

Learn how to trade forex. You can self teach. You could literally be using all this time right now learning how to become rich, instead of posting 'feels' on /r9k/

I mean, admittedly self-teaching is hard as fuck, that's why I'm paying for courses. But it's possible, plenty have done it.

mathematician here, there's no way a NEET is going to start from scratch and make money trading FOREX. Why do I say this? Because you need to work fucking hard that's why and most of these people aren't capable or willing.

They say "follow your dreams" but they really miss the fucking sub-clause of "you need shitloads of money to follow your dreams which you need to get a job for. A job which will sap your time and restrict your movements causing the following of dreams to become a joke anyway."

I take it you're in film? Could you get some out of work actors, and students to put togeather a scene from a film you wanna make? Maybe shop it, and get enough money to make the whole thing?

Maybe you can go to companies and ask to make instructional videos for them on office policy and boring shit?

Go to a charity and ask if you can make them a short film describing what they do, and showing people they help, then help them put it on their web page or someshit? Just something that shows you're motivated and productive. A lot of charities are connected to big business guys, and that's how you get the ball rolling. I'm a member of my local rotary, and I designed a make shift water purifier for an African village, we wrote detailed instructions on how to build it and they did. Now they make quiet a few of them and its turned into a business for the village to sell to other small communities. One of the higher up guys is a VP at a consultant, and hooked me up with a job this summer (I'm still a student).

I'm in 3D Graphics and Animation which is similar. I've done stuff like that but since leaving university getting hold of the equipment is hard.

I'm currently trying my hand at writing a comic and this girl is going to draw it (although I'm still doing the layouts and design)

There's not much money in it, but it's a good thing to do to show I've not been sitting on my hands. And it's something I've always been interested in. It's kinda a fantasy thing and I'm going to use my skills in 3D and such to promote it with short animations and stuff. It'd be amazing if I could move in with this girl as we could really work together on something and make it amazing.

You are scum. Deal with it.

How easy is it to get on disability allowance? I've got a friend who gets 500 GBP/month, he's been in and out of counsellors, psychiatrists and so on for most of his teen years though.

I've been diagnosed with a lot of shit and I've formally seen a few people, never psychiatrists or psychologists though. Worth trying for?

>>1680970

>you're scum

just like everyone else on this board. If you don't like it, leave.

>>1680991

Not too hard. I've been on ESA for a few years now. Just need a doctors note and you have to go for a few interviews. You also have to go to the jobcenter every 4 - 6 months.

Of course, you need to have some evidence and a diagnosis.

Social Anxiety / Depression.

>>1681247
How much do you get and can you apply for housing benefit as well?

The thing is I really want to go on disability benefits for a while, attend my counselling sessions and find medication that actually works then go back to college or at least do something from home. But my parents say they'll kick me out if I'm put on any benefits other than JSA so it kind of fucks with my plan, I don't blame them though.

>>1681264

About 360gbp a month. I am on housing benefit, I don't pay rent. I do have to pay the council for water and community cleaning though.

>The thing is I really want to go on disability benefits for a while, attend my counselling sessions and find medication that actually works then go back to college or at least do something from home

This was my plan too. In fact I highlighted that at the interview, which may have helped. Are your parents willing to support you while you're on JSA, or is it a "get a job or we'll kick you out" situation? My parents kicked me out when I was 17, which is the main reason I applied for ESA. I'm not sure if they take into account whether you're living with relatives willing to support you or not though.

Sorry for the repost, accidentally wrote 460 rather than 360.

>>1681310
Pretty much the same as my friend then really. Thanks, I'll see about looking into it.

My parents are willing to support me while I'm on JSA but we've all agreed that it's just a really short-term plan so I can pay for food, prescriptions and the like. I'm looking for a job and if I could do something away from people I'd definitely take it but most things I can get seem to revolve around retail.

They want me out ASAP but it's in the nicest way possible. My brother moved out at 18 and they just want to see me get my life started away from them I guess.

Disability Living Allowance all day erry day. My care worker helped me fill in the form, and now I get 400 pounds a month until 2014. No going to bullshit interviews every few weeks, no sending off sick notes every month. Feels good man.

>not being allowed to post the pound sign

moot you are the most talentless hack of a web admin I've ever seen.

>>1681383
What's wrong with you?

bloxbloxblox

>>1681394

Psychosis and depression.

> Wake up early in the morning
> Made tea
> Played ME3
> Walked out in the living room for food
> Mom waves at me, I wave back
> "Do you want to pick up pizza for us?"
> Don't want to
> Change my mind after my second cup of tea.

Damn green tea makes you hungry.

After I pick up the food I'll probably go back playing ME3.

Such is my NEET life.

so neets, do you guys even have friends or social skills/goals and aspirations?

bermp for neetalian.

>>1684759
No friends, diagnosed with severe social anxiety and I claw at myself in public like a fucking monkey or some shit

short-term goal: lose weight I guess, why not

long-term goal: move out, find medication that works, continue therapy, either do an apprenticeship or some kind of college course

>>1686881

I see, nice goals, i'm sure you'll accomplish them.

what are all of you friendless neets doing for the weekend/friday?

Bumping for job centre stories.

Greentext please.

Are you visiting the job centre today?

Also, is anyone annoyed at the stupid unhelpful twitter pages the job centre has? All they do is try and force people into workfare.

>>1690458

Gonna eat junk food and watching fighting game tournament streams,archives.

Going to work in 3 hours, so tired, can't sleep

I'm a god damn IT manager and I hate it, sometimes I envy you neet fucks

>>1681383
You also can't do dollars signs or this accent over e although you can do all these things on /lit/. I emailed him but maybe he's pay more attention if more people emailed him too.

Going down the JCP is a real pain.

If you are going to smoke, drink special brew and deal drugs please, please do it somewhere else.

>>1679378
By staying unemployed, you're helping other people to find jobs more easily. By staying out of school or vocational training, you're helping free up access to grants and scholarships so others can attend. Basically, NEETs are the most selfless people in society.

I'm a hiki too.

Haven't spoken to anyone for about two years.

How is it that the UK can afford to pay out all these benefits to the un(der)employed? If there are so many people out of work, isn't the economy in the shitter? Is the country just wracking up debt and hoping future generations will pay it off?

>>1691774

not even your family? Doesn't it get lonely for you? What about with people online in messengers or IRC?

>starting a new job tomorrow
>first real job in over 5 years
>feels good
>kinda nervous cuz beginnings are always hard
>not giving up on my life and my dreams
>you shouldn't either

i moved in with my now wife in another country and i cant work until i get my paperwork settled. am i still allowed in NEET society?

>>1691802
almost every first world country is in deep deep debt.

>>1691895
Uh... to who, then?

>>1691904
china and other third world countries with low human development indexes, that pay their workers next to nothing. they are the only ones making money because they have no expenses

>>1691919
>china
>third world
wat

Also, I thought the US was the only one in debt to China.

>>1691924
they are certainly not first world, maybe somewhere in between. look it up
and heres is the debt situation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_external_debt

>>1691941
Nope, China is either second or third world. The term first world is reserved for NATO-allied nations.

>>1691774

greetings fellow hikki, how are you?

I want a NEET boyfriend. Is that weird?

Got a meeting with an advisor or some shit today.

With it being my first time, what can I expect?

>>1691972
Are you looking for an attractive neet boyfriend?

>Would never be me, Fuck

Robots, what's something productive I can do every day that isn't a job and will get me active.

I don't think I can volunteer even those places need references and volunteer experience... Plus you have to interview, for VOLUNTEERING!

>>1691972

Well, there's thousands of identical NEET boyfriends you can choose from. You'll have to do more than that.

Please detail your physical appearance, personality, interests, location and ambitions. If applicable, detail preferences in your mates.

If you're fat, continue no further.

>Woke up 10:00
>Ate Weetabix
>Playing League of Legends
>Eat dinner in silence with my parents at 17:00
>Have a bath
>Play World of Warcraft
>Watch an episode of The Wire
>Sleep
>Repeat ad infinitum

I argued with my dad today. The guy is a gambling cunt and tried to sit on my computer to check sports scores.

>Nope.jpg
I may be a NEET, but I can't respect gambling fuckwits who pawn stuff and beg their mother for money. Told him if he wanted to use internet he shouldn't have pawned the family laptop.

>>1692056
>inb4 he pawns you're computer.
I'd keep my eye on him and throw up some deterrents.

>>1691983
expect no help whatsoever. Don't volunteer for any workfare type programs and remember don't sign away your data protection rights. If you don't sign the private companies can't make as much money off you.

You are now aware that Greek youth unemployment is 51.5%.

>>1691972
NEETs probably have lowered standards, so that shouldn't be difficult.

>>1692106
Coming soon to a first world nation near you.
In our case the UK.

Apparently they are going to extend workfare for people who earn under 11,000 pounds a year now as well.

I'm getting $350 in tax refund.


Maybe, just maybe I might be able to build gaming computer.

Probably not but damn it I'll try.

>>1692131
I doubt that, Greece is in a FAR worse situation.

>>1692177
You sure about that?

I've heard that British national debt, as a % of GDP, is much higher than Greece's.

And Greece has a smaller economy (i.e. smaller GDP).

We've mainly just fortuante to have our own currency (and therefore central bank) and the tax income of the City of London (even though they mooch plenty Government monhes).

Oh hey a neet thread. Vent-me-do!

Far too anxious to get a job (Quit my old job because I literally couldn't do it due to anxiety/nervousness).

Took a "work experience" thing last week, 3rd shift I went home halfway through because my trousers ripped like a fuck (took me about 10 minutes of hiding and psyching myself up to tell the boss guy). Got home to change, and my washing machine was leaking everywhere, took like an hour to clean up. Don't have the companies telephone number. didn't go back. Next shift had to go to the doctors and didn't tell them, phoned job centre up and told them I wasn't cut out for that job, they told me to phone the company and explain. Too nervous to phone them up, left my coat and bag there the other day when I went home to change. Supposed to be there now working, can't work up the courage to phone them/turn up. Going to lose JSA as a result. Can't afford beer to get drunk and do it. My anti-depressants that I take for anxiety are in my coat at work...

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK.

Can't afford to eat, can't afford to pay rent, lots of people are bound to be angry at me, the problems only getting worse, bills are stacking up and it physically hurts to pick up the phone and try to beg for more time off anyone, or to beg from relatives.

Surely this is grounds for some kind of disability benefit? I'll never know because I'm too nervous to ask anyone in a position to help me.


Hows neeting going for anyone else?

>>1692233
You can dropout in the first week with no penalty on work experience. Just call up the place you worked and explain yourself.

(probably shit advice but it comes from a fellow neet)

Do degree in CS, get 1st, do masters in system on a chip design, get 1st, get hired by a top tier fabless company.

I got lucky.

I almost did other things. Most of my mates have been fucked over. I'm smart enough to know that it could have been me. The West has exported all it's manufacturing and imported a bunch of niggers.

My best advice is to start your own company and do something that can't be exported. At the moment I'm not doing that since I earn enough money and invest a lot of it. The fact that most my mates can't even get farm work or warehouse stuff scares the shit out of me. Those who have nothing to lose, HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE.

Serious question for you NEET niggers. Why don't you join the military?

NEETS...

What are your qualifications? How many of you have degrees? What degree and what grade did you get?

>>1692288
not your personal army
also viral marketing

>>1692288

>Join the military
>Get yelled at by a fuck until you're nothing more than a drone midlessly obeying commands
>Shoot at people in a similar situation
>Get shot
>Die, or come home to the exact same situation only crippled.

Yeah, join the army.

Additional : a lot of the neets are neet because they're not quite right in the head, and they don't let people like that join the military.

>>1692306
>implying letting someone else control every aspect of your life while you take life of others just like you, is being right in the head

Nope.jpg

being well adjusted to a profoundly sick society is no measure of mental health

>>1692288
>implying we would pass the physical or other entrance requirements of a first world military.

>>1692305
lololol
>>1692306
I know it's shit, but for a person with no prospects it doesn't seem so bad.

>>1692320
What would you fail?

Replying even though it's been hours.

>>1691824
Don't talk to family, no. Once every couple of weeks I chat with someone on my Steam list of about four peopleI have on there from some message board I used a few years ago, but they're mostly disinterested and it only really lasts a couple of minutes. Lonely? not so much. I'd rather not be bothered by people.

>>1691964
Not bad. Playing some games. Got some noodles. All's good.

>>1692306

Just how many years of military service do you base this knowledge on, I wonder?

Oh, wait.

None.

Because not only are the rates of British servicemembers who see combat ridiculously low, but the rates of WIA or KIA are even retardedly lower than that.

You've a greater chance of dying in a car wreck or an airplane crash than being crippled in the British Armed Forces.

Can we go back to Neet/job centre stories rather than arguing over who is the tougher man?

>>1692353

Because we're fighting little faggot wars against civilians now. They're still finding bodies from WW2...

>>1692364

Sorry buddy, the dick-measuring has begun. The thread had a nice, long, on topic run, but now it's time for the keyboard warriors to fight over fucking nothing.

Surely someone here has some helpful money-making advice?

>wanting to get involved in the shit storm that will be the Iranian-Israeli nuclear war

Really bad idea.

>>1692401
Nothing worthwhile legal I'm afraid. Deal drugs, steal food to cut down on expense, pirate games to eliminate leisure spending.

>>1692408
There's a few other ways, but why would I share them?

I'm a cunt.

>>1692398
How is it dick measuring? I asked a serious question.

If you cant find a job, or don't have enough money to go to uni, or don't want to go to uni, why don't you join the military? It is a perfectly legitimate question.

>>1692427
Most neets are mentally ill or medically unfit

This is obvious.

>>1692427

It has begun.
Anon1 "Hey why not do this?"
Anon2 "Because of this"
Anon1 "You're talking shit and you're wrong"

No-one changes their opinions on 4chan. Nobody says "oh hey you're right" or "Perhaps, but consider this instead". No. They say "fuck you f4gg0t lololol u mad brah u mad? fuck you. your a fag you mirin? ye u mad lol"

And then there goes your thread.

I walked out of an assessment day for a management training programme at Tempest, and by that i mean the oppurtunity to parade gypsyville at 9pm on friday nights asking the pleasant folks of Hull to donate to charity, then I failed the test on an interview for a trainee litigator at Rapid Solicitors, then I fucked up an application to ebuyer by writing that "I have excellcent written and spoken communication skills" then I was depressed so i cancelled my interview for a receptionist at wren kitchens and then I decided against following through with my plan of travelling a hour to work a 12 hour shift in a cramped call centre, spending half of my earnings each week on fucking travel. I feel like my inability to get a job is my own choice and that my girlfriend is going to leave me because of it.

from the twitta: "Walked past the Job Centre and someone was being thrown out by security #funny"

>Graduate from uni
>Oh shit, still not able to get a job despite having a Masters degree?
>Go to job centre plus
>Get forced to work for free at super market
>It's supposed to give me work experience

Sometimes I think I should just kill myself. My brother who works in construction has never been unemployed and is now some kind of team leader or whatever this is called on a construction site.

Any Canadian NEETs want to keep in touch?

Share ideas? Talk about future plans (lol)?

>>1692381

That comment in any way refutes my point...how, exactly?

Oh, that's right. It doesn't. At all.

I would imagine most neets on 4chan are the "nerd" type who don't really fit into the whole military thing. That is if they are wanted by the military.

>>1692573

Most but not all. Currently a NEET but waiting to enter the British Army, already passed selection. Can't wait to get away from this shithole.

>>1692573

A lot of jobs in communications or intelligence are perfect for the most autismal or aspie data collectors.

Most bush exercises in Aus army is about who fucked up, who fell asleep on picket or who fired rounds when they shouldn't have and will be getting charged.

Int rarely go out field and do data mining/collection into powerpoint briefing, Sigs get caught beating off on radio retrans stations and spend all their time pointing shit into the sky, running fuckloads of cable everywhere and being responsible for the most computer illiterate people known on earth with some of the oldest hardware around.

And 90% of sigs are the only people in the Armed forces to walk out with qualifications that matter a fuck in civilian life, most going straight out into telcos that they got from having mates (friends) from being in for so long.

what are you friendles, shut in, loner neets doing this weekend and for your friday night?

>>1697066
4chan, what do you think?

>>1697066
If I could hate you to death I would.

Honestly.

>>1679688
Ahh fair enough then, that makes sense.

You're completely correct. Us Honors students in psychology always have a good little giggle to ourselves when we meet first years during orientation weeks and what not and they say "I'm studying psychology because I want to delve into peoples minds!" And things like that.

Can Americans join?

>go to college for chemical engineering because I want a job when I get out
>economy tanks soon after I go in college
>companies cut their intern programs
>graduate with no work experience outside of some research.
>every job posting wants 3-5 years in the industry
>end up in the exact place I tried to avoid by going to college for engineering in the first place

The plan now is to try and get a crappy job to save some money so I could do a bike tour of the US over the summer. After I got back I would look into the US Navy's training program for reactor operators on their carriers and subs. Seeing as I have an engineering degree and I have a good understanding about nuclear reactors I should be able to get in. Uncle Sam does not care if you have previous experience since they give everyone enough training to do their job.

>>1692489
They can't do much for people with degrees, they've been pretty honest with me about it and just admitted that they probably won't have any jobs to match my qualification levels.

I'm really regretting not having done any sort of internship, most of my friends are getting jobs out of those and contacts from other friends. Contacts which I don't have because I grew up in a shithole.

Their childhood friends are working in Law firms and IBs and a worrying proportion of the people I knew in school are selling drugs or in prison for stabbings.

>>1698843
Internships are so fucking important right now, that or having had some sort of extracurricular leadership shit.
I wish I knew that before I graduated, noone ever told me that you can't get a job on academic ability alone.

>unemployed for the past 4 years
>work for a family thread once or twice a month to pay rent+food
>got a job at a foster home babysitting kids (i have no experience, girlfriends mother hooked it up)
>i start full time on the 19th

so this is what normalfags feel like.

not going to be doing anything tonight, fuck.

>>1699229
>family thread

What you fellow neets doing this weekend?

I'm thinking of getting one of those twitter things and spending time here.

Got my fridge stocked with hot cross buns and other tasty items. No need to leave the house for days.

>>1702871

i'm doing nothing

nothing at all.

>>1702871
Hey man are you from America? Twitter does contests sometimes if you follow the right people. Free swag I just got a game yesteday.

>that feel when I'm not a NEET anymore since half a year
>that feel when I still behave like one because I've living this lifestyle for the past decade.
>that feel when things slowly get better but yet no motivation to participate in social activies.
>that feel when I had a decent day, come home and depression kicks in
>that feel when apathy, melancholy and lethargy melt my brain
>feel empty
>get out of bed erryday and repeat work shedule with no real goals and motivation

>Chav telling another about him catching his girlfriend cheating so he bottled the guy. police show up and he hides in a bush nearby and waits for them to leave then goes back and bottles the girl

what did all of you neets/shut ins/friendless giys do for your friday night and what are you all planning on doing for the weekend?

>>1709120

I was staring at my table for a few hours, I did that again Saturday night and will probably do it again tonight.

I need a job/flat in newcastle but it's impossible to get one without the other and the only jobs going are as trainee debt collectors which gives a good indication of the state of the economy, it feels wierd being in england and being desperate for any kind of work, I guess I've been hand fed by society for a few too many years

>>1709180

that seems great, what will you be doing this upcoming week?

so i guess you neets are doing nothing for your weekend?

neet reporting in, what are you all up to?

>>1705613
that guy is fucking awesome
i wish i was a chav

today, i think i'll download skulltag for my laptop and game laying in my bed.

bumpan for more neets to contributed .

well today i'm gonna finish advanced wars 2 then probably lurk more.

Have to go in today. Have not fallen asleep yet. I think I'll phone up and get it changed.

went out for a walk an was laughed at on the streets.

>>1724744
That sounds really depressing.
My thoughts go out to you.

Former neet hwre. For the first time in over a decade i decided to go to a doc because i feel fukkin ill. Currently im in the waiting room for over thirthy minuets and i eel awful.

Morning fellow NEETS.

share your stories, you might even get some help.

Just saw this posted on twitter.
"Calling the woman at the job centre a cunt may not have been the best idea but that's what happens when ya treat people like shit! Bitch"

>>1679419

When the economy went tits up in 2008, I was reading a book about Japan's "lost generation" and wondering if the same thing would happen here. Seems like it has. gg, world economy, gg.

hdgjutty

I have two minimum wage jobs, and my roommate makes 13$ an hour, so we're able to live a semi comfortable life an a cheap apartment. I'm going to start working with a tileman now, who offered me 15$ an hour to be his full time assistant. My goal is to get good at tile, and get a license to do it independently one day. Those guys make like 600$ a week. You have to live an a highly urban area where there's always work though.

that feel wen watching all the land before time movies

NEET for half a year now. Dropped out of uni twice from anxiety. Getting disability allowance now though "aspergers"(even though I'm just emotionally repressed).

My parents have been guilting me recently and I feel quite bad. I was wondering if there's anyway I can sell my body to older guys? I'm 19 and slim and a boy. Or maybe I should try dating around on craigslist. There was a boy my own age I thought might like me but I've too nervous whenever I see him now so I just say "hi" politely, I was thinking of giving up on trying to get him to be my first friend/boy friend/best friend. Maybe my parents will lay off and I'll feel better though. I think I'll do some voluntary work or work experience soon.

Boyfriend is a neet, waiting for a response from a recent interview.

>Had a job
>His dad worked at the same place
>His dad gets fired, and he doesn't
>His Parents practically force him to quit before finding another job
>'Another job will be easy to find' they say
>A few months later; only a few interviews and no jobs
>Constantly on his case to 'find a job'
>Always going on trips, now planning trips to Las Vegas and Hawaii for the two of them
>'Don't spend money/spend your money wisely!'
>All of our hate

>>1729399
As well as;

>Have opening where I work
>Boss tells me she would like to talk to boyfriend and would like to offer him a job
>Tell boyfriend about this, both of us are excited
>We tell his mother about it
>'No you shouldn't do that. I think you should let Anon do this one.'
>I hear a bit of a jeer in there, as it's my first job and she doesn't believe that it'll work out
>'You should really find a job!!'

how do you guys act towards your parents? What do they think of your lifestyle?

brmp for neets and their lifestyle bros

>>1733393
they don't know

i say i'm at university and that i can't work because i'm taking extra subjects and the workload is too great

this isn't totally going to backfire on me in 6 months

a lot of neets are unsatisfied with their lifestyle
i find it fucking awesome

>>1729533
I am chemically fizzing with rage

9am appointment down the job centre.
Will be resisting any attempt to be added to the workfare rolls.

Watch movies with mom. (she's unable to work due to two strokes)
Internet.
Play with dogs.
Comic Books.
Apply for the same places I applied to months ago in the hopes of them atleast calling me back.
Feel like shit.

I think my dad cares less about me doing nothing because I'm the youngest and a girl. But I can tell he's disappointed sometimes. Fuck.

I'm pretty much a shut-in now. Moved house 20 minute drive away from where I used to live and my friends just stopped bothering with me.

>drop out of college twice
>start an apprenticeship, week later the funding gets pulled
>play drums, nobody to form a band with and play locally for a little cash on the side
>can't find a single appealing job
>give up and just smoke weed every day

Sometimes I feel like I'm wasting my life just sitting on videogames/internet/tv/whatever. I just can't find anything I'm truly good at (and that I actually like). Now the only time I ever really leave the house is to go the Job Center.

>had a dispute at connexions because basically I didn't apply for any of the shitty apprenticeships they wanted me to apply for
>had this interview with a horrible bitter old woman who hated me for no reason
>she refused my claim or something which resulted in the job center making me to do training.
>they said they'd call me but they didn't so I'm kind of scared they'll pull some bullshit move and stop the money

wouldn't put it past them. oh and either they took my green paper thing you give them each appointment or I've lost it. Am I fucked?

well it's like 1:39 AM
and i woke up at like 7:00 PM
all i've done so far is surf the internet and have a bubble bath
i watched jay and silent bob strike back
up all night now so i can go to my psychiatrist appointment in the morning

depressing after waking up a 10pm, been up all night

09:37am gotta go for a medical for my ESA at 10:30am

I always fail every year then have to appeal.

what a miserable life.

>>1737719
09:47am

Should probably do something like getting ready

I'm going to my weekly english class later, but since it's only 3 hours a week. Am I still a neet? I consider myself one since I don't do anything except for that.

I sign on for the first time at 11:20 gmt.

I feel like a failure.

>>1737808
Same situation, different class.

>>1737781
09:57am

moving moving.. putting clothes on.

I was a neet in canada up until a couple days ago, when I got an acceptance letter to a college program. Hooray. This kind of thing does breed more worries and brings me closer to independence. But mostly it allows me to keep feeling good about myself. I'm going to a job fair tomorrow, and I have an okay resume. The job market isn't super fucked here so it shouldn't be too hard to get a part time job. My motivation, lack of personality and socializing are the big problem

Any new greentext stories from the job centre?

From one job seeker to another. Thanks.

got to get me some of that monthly tugboat

I didn't do much. My friend came over to hang out earlier today. We started talking and debating about things like religion, politics, and sex. I told him that truly enlightened men are able to see sex for what it is, that gender really shouldn't play a part in the system of physical pleasure; a man giving another man a blowjob should be the same as a woman giving another man a blowjob or vice versa if you think about it. He had no rebuttal so he gave me a blowjob.

>>1738225
you sound like an even gayer version of the two guys in Dorian Gray

>>1738235
>calls someone else gay
>watches scrubs

>only had a job for one summer out of my entire life
>never finished college
>live at home
>leave the house once or twice a week
>spend my days playing video games and browsing 4chan

I'm pretty sure I'm going to be doing this when I'm 30. I remember when I used to enjoy the things I did, and when I used to have hope that I might have a real future. I miss those days.

>>1738247
hahaha
yes! that was marvelous

>>1738213
You are not chris chan. No tugboat for you.

I remember when i signed on once, after 2 weeks they sent me on a course...i attended, i sat down in this room with aload of chavs, this woman appears and told us all to be quite, she then gave us a piece of paper and said ''We will now practice doing a CV''...i stood up and walked the fuck out, they canceled my job seekers allowance (which i expected). A month later though i got myself a jurrrb. its absofuckinlutely ridiculous that you have to do some course and you are treated as if you are back in high school, it was pointless and degrading, i was like 22 at the time.

Anybody else had an experience like this?

>>1679607
>>1738288


I'm with these guys

I would say I'm fairly intelligent, but the reason for that is cause I've spent so many years being a loner i read/watch/learn stuff online. Like I've been into plants for some time and think i know a fair bit. I also waste alot of time learning stuff i doubt will be helpful, like to pass the time I've recently been trying to learn where all the countries in Africa are, got it half nailed at the moment, soon enough I'd be able to go through a blank map and out out every single one of them. Ahh i do hate my life sometimes. If i do speak to people though they tend not to listen to what i say, like if i know a subject they'd pass off my answer in favour of somebodies answer whose been to University, can get annoying that, cause i tend to only answer stuff i know, and alot of the time the persons answer they do believe over mine are wrong.

employment & support allowence.

I had a very boring interview with a muslim doctor asking me why I cant go out & what I do all day.

which I will fail because I dont score enough points on physical disabilities.

then I appeal & either win or go to tribuneral & win or fail & have no money to live on and die.

I do this every 12 months. still better than signing on tho.

Posting because I went to the Job Centre today for my regular 'sign on'. I am looking at doing some work experience. I rarely actually look for work, literally pulling ITB codes off the directgov website an hour before going to the appointment. Been doing this on and off for the past 4 years.

I have a fear of going outside, dunno why/cant really explain it other than...its a fear of going outside

Started around 3 years ago, and my psychiatrist has to come to my local doctors (GP) to see me, i struggle to get there and i need somebody with me at all times, its around 15 doors down the road from me, i basically stay in all the time.

My point is, i applied for it...and i failed it lol

>Lost first real just
>Go to college
>Move out
>End up cramming my last project the night before
>Sleep in and fail
>Now living next door to parent with my brother
>Been NEET for almost a year
>Almost ready to start my own company
>Life is good

As much as there is days I sit and do absolutely nothing and it kills me inside, I can't get a job due to shit grades and I hate the way jobs work. People taking advantage of there position and the fact your new. Maybe just my experiance, but the way I see it is the best way to get a job these days is to make one yourself

Welp thanks for the new British words I've learned from this thread.
Today I'll look for some jobs, cook food, watch tv. Repeat.

How long have you been on the dole?

>>1738552
Ive been on all benefits at some point & used to get kicked off for failing when I was a n00b.

Now i understand the system more.

you get your review form & a medical, you will not score enough points & will fail.

you then have to fill in an appeal form, similar to the first. then u will either win that, or it will go to tribuneral, which is scary at first but if u cant go out alone u will win, u have to.

I generally say I have a social anxiety disorder, this manifests itself in the form of agoraphobia, I cant go out alone & always require family member, no friends no hobbies etc.
I say I have panic attacks generally become unwell its very stressful etc.

treatment wise, my gp refers me to shrinks but they usualy say they cant help me cos im an arkward cunt.


when asked when i had my last panic attack etc I say I avoid putting myself in such situations where I would have to go out.
this usually shuts them up.

You will be entitled to some benefits be it ESA, income support, or something similar.

getting actual disability living allowence I think is harder. I dont.

but u have to fight the system no matter what.

Current claim has existed for around 3 months. I was employed from August to December and signed on some time in January. Before that I had a job which lasted 3 years until I resigned in 2008.
