I'm 38 and Neet, living with my dying mother. Soon I'll have to get a job (wew) and run an old broken down house (no qt) and dealing with bills (you what mate). What are some fictional characters who are in this situation but end up just fine, happy ending type deal.
No self help shit senfampai.

Welcome to the nhk is about a neet.
So, did you enjoy all those years without responsibility?
How'd you spend most of your time?
>>8257480
Goddammit neet get back here and answer us
I am turning 26 next month and have been a NEET for seven years. AMA if you want.
>>8257680
How are your days spent?
Do you wish you weren't a neet?
>>8257687
My days are spent between reading, doing stuff outside (chopping wood, partaking in my hobby of blacksmithing, watching nature, etc). Sometimes I will play the odd video game or watch a movie, especially if it's too hot outside. I cook too, so that occupies some of my day. Day and night if I am smoking something but I read and smoke my pipe to pass the time. I used to play with my dog but we had to put her down due to complications a month ago, so I can't do that anymore.
Yes and no. Yes because I do enjoy a job if it's something I like doing. Before my NEETdom I was a painter. We were all white so we were able to go slow and take our time doing the job right. I do things slowly and leisurely, but also diligently, and I was allowed to do that. In our time when everything is hastily done and then you move on, I feel like I had settled into something nice.
There I feel like I had a purpose, sort of. I was helping people and allowing a sort of craftsmanship to be used instead of simply stocking shelves or selling things to people. I don't have the best personality in the world, and everyone I know agrees that something where I work with the public is bad for me. I've tried to get jobs, but I am either turned down for unknown reasons or because I lack experience. I would like to work, but I would want to feel a purpose instead of simply being a part of "busy work" if you understand what I am saying.
Trying to explain that to people who are happy to labour away their lives is interesting and mostly fruitless, and their only findings seem to be calling me lazy.

>seem to be calling me lazy
Why aren't they right?
Also, many people have ambitions to be successful and being full of knowledge in life. This is why /lit/ reads, why /sci/ studies, etc.
How do you feel with not having any studies? Do you feel like you failed in life and that other people, studying mathematics are more successful and smart?
Do you draw?
feels nice to know there are more and more oldfags everyday here. also feels silly to realize not being 19 anymore and still using the term 'oldfag'.

Oblomov, in a way.
You should read it, probably the greatest NEET novel of all time.
28yo NEET of five years reporting in.
Feels bretty good. The happy end comes in the form of welfare or autismbux.

I'm not lazy, I am just mostly unmotivated. When I want to do something that is completely deppendent on me without outside factors potentially stopping me (or definitely) I do it.
I do have "studies," they're just not official as I feel I learn things easier on my own. Blacksmithing, for example. I have been doing that and learning about it for five years now. Sometimes I sell the stuff I make but I don't consider it employment since it's not constant and only usually when I want something.
I personally don't care what other people do as they live their lives and I live mine. I don't feel like I have failed ibn my life because I do not compare myself to other people since I am me. I am doing what I want to do, mostly.
I do not draw.

Yeah, precisely. It was a nice job and I worked with my friends. It was pretty hard to have a bad day.
