In addition to shitposting and anime, there are millions of books on philosophy, self improvement, etc. Not to mention you can exercise or go for a run anytime, while you're constrained to the extreme morning or evening

Wake up whenever you want. Sleep whenever you want.
You have the whole day to use how you want. Anime, videogames, reading, funposting, etc.

I did it for two years. Then I found a seasonal job that allows me to live a semi-NEET lifestyle.

I'm a lazy person. If money wasn't a problem, I'd choose not to work.

We wouldn't have The Happening meme if it weren't for NEETS, they basically want an apocalypse scenario so that they can reset their lives, and most of them want to die but they don't want to kill themselves so they see war as a good way to go about dying. NEETS who fill their time with productive hobbies are okay but almost none of them do anything productive. They're technically a drain on the economy but I can't really blame them for being depressed and apathetic, I wish I could quit college and my job too, it all seems very futile, but if I work and go to school then I can at least pretend to be happy.

Overall, they are okay but there are better things to be.

>>69019922
True. True NEETs are social outcasts. You can't be accepted and have no future plans.

>>69020605
Honestly, most of my time is spent thinking and reading. I can't stand doing day-to-day menial tasks, and hate having to listen to authority figures. I am much, much happier when I can regulate my social interactions to my liking. High school was comparable to a prison to me. It was a sense of dread every morning.

>>69021510
It's great. Unless you are well off, though, you will have to get used to living on next to nothing. If time is your most valued possession you'll be fine and enjoy it; if you want women, good food, drugs, and new things, then no. I basically buy no entertainment, don't smoke, drink, or do drugs, eat the same cheap meals, and altogether live an ascetic lifestyle by necessity.

It's really not that bad, though. All of this entertainment and luxury is blinding. There are people who work 50+ hours a week and come home and watch and do garbage. I don't see how that is living the high life. I don't have any luxuries, but my mental health is fantastic due to not having to suck my boss's dick. I have time to study, think, and work out this way.
>>
>>69023206
I'm hedging on WWIII. If that doesn't work, I don't know.

>>69022564
That's because you aren't being productive, and you know it. I don't play any videogames, watch movies, etc., that are for entertainment purposes only. You have to find a direction with your life, some place to dump your energy. I'm happy because I am doing what I want to do, it's just impossible for me to get paid doing it. Like you said, you should also maintain your body and eat healthy food. It helps keep your self esteem up.

Do you live on welfare? I'd be a NEET in a heartbeat but with welfare I'd only be able to afford an apartment in the projects and I don't want to live around blacks. What's the point in staying inside and chilling all day if you constantly have to worry about niggers breaking in and/or harassing you when you go to the gas station to buy burritos?

>>69019770
NEETs are degenerates.
>>
>>69027831
I live on money that I saved from working (that I never spent, because I'm weird) and my parent's income. I basically have no expenditures beyond food, so it's not that much of a burden.

I wouldn't be happy about living off of government assistance. That's the type of thing that would bite you in the ass if you ever managed to get your life together. It's very looked down on.
>>
>>69028375
Do you have an apartment or do you live with your parents?
>>
>>69028528
Parents. I probably live on something like $2,500-$3,000 a year. I buy nothing, almost quite literally. The only nice thing over gotten myself in the last two years is a $135 tablet.

How do you date and stuff, where do you take chicks? My only real expense is rent and caffeine, I'd move home to save money but then I'd have to rent motels or something. Do you see your NEETness as a situational luxury or are you committed to it as a way of life?

I basically think they are one of the reasons society is as fucked as it is. They do nothing for society, they dont pay taxes, they dont really consume much, they dont provide any kind of benefit.

Another major problem is allowing this and rewarding it with public assistance. Let them become homeless change beggars sleeping under bridges.

Yes, although the amount for housing varies.

Basically most Neets are on these.

Although there are additional benefits that the disabled or people with children can claim.

>>69029157
As I said >>69026058 , I basically can't do a standard job. I can't stand sticking to a schedule. I did a standard job for a couple years, and have saved almost all of the money I made from it. I have learned to be a master of preserving resources, and you will have to too if you want to live like this.

As for women, no. That's the biggest downside. No women want to date a guy who has no career path and has no money (at least none to spend wastefully). I'm not unattractive, either, so this kind of sucks. I have a barbell that I bought when I was younger and some running shoes, so I still stay in shape, but it's not enough to pull women.

My NEETness is temporary, the way I see it. I plan on doing something with my life someday. The jobs available to me aren't worth it, though. I basically had no chance of advancement when I did work, had to suck my boss's dick, etc., which is not how I want to spend my life. If I could get a job that would increase my status and give me a real income, I would. Until then I am out of the system and loving it.

i have the keys to those places too.
sometimes out of boredom i wait until i know the tenants leave for good (like a trip or something) and go inside for shits and giggles.
1 tenant is a lone son of a bitch. nothing there
the second one is a small family. i masturbated into the soiled panties of their underage daughter.

I'm a NEET but I'm trying to get my life on track. Thinking about starting a small business mowing lawns and that but instead of using a ridiculously priced, expensive to maintain, and loud giant tractor mower I'd just use my reel-mower (it's nice) and go for suburban yards. I do a lot of stuff by hand when it comes to yardwork because I kind of enjoy it save for the immense heat here in NC, so I could say it's better for the environment and the person's lawn, which it is.

I don't know how much to charge though since it'll take longer.

In a good society being NEET would be bad but since this society is degenerate and needs to burn being NEET is actually a good thing or at the least neutral because they do not contribute tax money to the state and drain resources which hasten its collapse

when the collapse does come they will simply stop being NEET or be killed.

until then complaining about NEETs on the internet is far more degenerate than being one

People can do whatever they want to do with their lives, as long they do that without leeching of government money and strangers' good will.

I've read somewhere that creative expression is the pinnacle of human achievement, and while I don't know if it really the "pinnacle", I do agree in that's important. Sadly, it's hard to think about creative expression when the worry is placed on getting more certs, 'networking' with people and spending most of the day working without rest to fill Mr. Goldstein's pockets. The ideal would be to reach a point where one's standards of living are covered (even if that means just having some veggies to eat and a place to sleep) and then do whatever.

>>69038261
If by chance you have energy problems (and therefore low "motivation" to do anything) go get checked by a doctor. There are several physiological reasons that may be behind that which are sometimes not so hard to fix (even a blood test should be enough to find some of those issues). Or maybe you're just an undisciplined faggot, but in this case at least you can work on improving this. Whatever you do, good luck.

>>69019770
There are no jobs for everyone in a post industrial society, thats a FACT. There will be no jobs in the future for most people, only those on the higher IQ echelons will work, the rest will be "NEETS". But being a neet doesnt mean you are not productivo or need to live a shitty life, there is enough high quality and enritching literature, music and culture available for free nowdays that you can spend your entire life on that.
The problem nowdays is we are encouraging people with under 85 IQ to outbreed those with high intelligence or we are importing them, thus lowering everyone's living condition to support people most of us despise.

That is: supporting white neets, cool. Importing black/brown violent-rabbitbreeding-neets not cool.

Yo hol up how the fuck are you doing that? For 5 years? Do you get autismbux or something? Or are you talking shit?

Because I was on JSA and they were harassing the shit out of me to get into work and I was on a pittance. Sending my CV off to places and almost got me into work.

After a year they then put me onto the work programme which harassed me even more with regular appointments and finally forced me into a job.

All NEET have to go onto it after a year here and it's almost impossible for anyone to be on it for 5 years easy peasy because they do there best to fuck you over. So either you're talking shit or on some special autismbux and proven to not be fit for work (which is super hard in the UK)

I am a virgin NEET ascetic currently at stage IV of the Norwood Scale and an addict to hardcore pornography for the best part of ten years, and what I've noticed in my reading of hundreds of blog posts, reddit comments and message board discussions between women or at least frequented by women is that "slutty" women, aka women who are perceived to be very sexual and whose characters are associated with sex and eroticism tend to be relatively predictable and unadventurous in terms of open-mindedness when it comes to having sex and personal preferences associated with the act itself, largely, in my opinion, because their characters and perspectives are overwhelmingly the result of a culture which promotes the sexual experience while continuing to shame and ostrichsize those who may be perceived as "weird" or "obsessed" about something that is not conspicuously advertised as something one is allowed to be obsessed with, while those girls considered "shy" or "studious" etc tend to be extremely perverted, in terms of their appreciation of unconventional sexual acts, I mean I myself have viewed hundreds of amateur of videos wherein the female protagonists resembled the kind of girls that I mistakenly perhaps in retrospect identified as naive, innocent, childlike in their desire merely for romantic affection and so on during my four years in college (during which time I attracted but failed to ask out a single one of these girls, for reasons my psychologist and I have spent the past 1.5 years attempting to work out) but who were actually likely to be the exact kind of girls who enjoyed things like golden showers, analingus (given), "rape-play", daddy roleplay, choking, spitting, hitting, spanking and roleplay in which she was the "unwitting" victim and / or captor of a malevolent, aggressive, callous male using her body for to appease his sadistic ambitions.

that's the dumbest thing gymdudes say. most gym goers were never skinny because they did sports or some shit like that and were fit (not muscular but healthy) and ran 3500 meters cooper when they were 15 and did 50 pushups before they ever first hit the gym

my parents raised me real fucking stupid, they told me only mean bullies do sports so i never did any sports outside of school pe. i'm 6'4 and 160lbs which is already underweight but a hefty amount of that is fat and i can't do a single military pushup. i'm 22 now and a neet since i finished high school. pretty ugly and a kissless virgin too

i'm a rothbard tier libertarian so its cool to not pay taxes and stuff and watch leftists who made the system exploitable get triggered when i tell them i'm a neet

it kinda sucks i'm already used to being lonely because i was bullied in school and never had friends or stuff. my one room suicidebox is comfy so i watch anime/3dshows/game and funpost most of my time

Well, a clergy is technically a socially sanctioned form of NEETism.
So if NEETs start to behave like them ( write, paint, compose, etc ) and turn the eremitism into something of lasting value, then I'm all for it.
I know a few NEETs who do and some who found work their actual talents suffer from it by doing some dead end job. So no, society does not always benefit when people have to work to get by.

there's two types of neets, the dumb loser ones and the too smart for their own good types. I've literally never met a girl i would even want to date. like the last time i thought something like "i should ask her out" was in high school but like she never even saw my message and from her facebook posts even if she's really fucking cute she's really dumb and uninteresting like most women.

The way I see it is the society doesn't like me, but I don't like them either. If i had a comfy hut with electricity and internet i could become a literal hermit and never meet people irl again. I'm just not interested in the same things as other people, and it isn't a special snowflake syndrome, finland is a pretty big with half the population of nyc and irl i've never met anyone who likes noise or speedrave or vaporwave or other niche things i like.

i'm also not that interested in sex anymore, for the past few years i've only fapped for like once a week maybe. I wouldn't want a cute dumb gf or an ugly psychologically fitting gf. I'm not that desperate for human comfort anymore, actually the only person who i would date is a cute female version of me. i should probably make a tulpa or something because that's like a split of my own personality right?

I went once for two weeks at closing hours 10-11pm (i know thats too late for max gains) because it was literally empty except for me but then one time there were like 3x 30 year old really big lifter guys and my crippling social anxiety spaghettied all over the floor and i turned 360 degrees and never came back. my mom had even paid for the whole year (that was back when i was 17 or something)

I know i should try again some time but the thought of being there at the same time as some big guy as a skinny little cunt like me is too much. I could start running or something but dog walkers scare me so i can only do that at like 3am and it's still icy here so you can slip and stuff. i know i say that every spring or try for a week and get a fever and never go again until next year but i really should try again

I know that feel finbro.

I listen to fucking jazz and country, paint literally 95% of my free time, and prefer being alone, but somehow people always think that that is something to be ashamed of.

I also haven't fapped in a month, haven't watched porn in at least a year, and I find most women to be annoying, but I am not a faggot.

Combine that with the fact that I have below-average looks and the height of 5'8" and you have yet another guy who will never be able to have children, no matter how much he wants to.

Big guys in the gym are so obsessed with lifting they will pretty much suck your dick if you ask them how to properly lift. Getting over the anxiety hurdle is a tough one, but there is no better place to do it then the gym. In fact, if you show interest in lifting properly, it makes a big difference. The people we judge are the ones who don't follow rules and don't care about proper technique

I'd say a sizable chunk of people that post here on /pol/ are NEET. Could be as high as one thrid, so you're most likely gonna face some bias asking this here.

It's actually hard to estimate the extent of harm (or benefit for all we know) that truNEETs inflict on society. Money-wise, assuming welfare, it's probably not that much compared to all the other groups. In term of genetics one could argue that NEETs actually improve society by helpfully filtering themselves out of the reproductive pool and therefore cleansing it of their socially harmful attitudes. Generally I think at this point humanity faces much greater problems than a small percentage of it shutting themselves in and refusing to work. It is of course possible that NEETs and other global problems like the increasing degeneracy take their roots in the same phenomenon, and NEETs are in fact just a small symptom of a larger and mostly unnoticed malfunction of the society, but that's getting dangerously speculative.

This.

Learning to code is honestly one of the best things any intelligent millennial can do.

Entry level jobs for it pay extremely well all over the country, it's one of the few fields that will get you an interview without needing a degree(ANY place worth working at only cares whether or not you can code, degree means fuckall to them and there are more of those places than you think), it's something you can be proficient at in like 2 years of casual learning or pretty solid and hireable in like a year if you devote heavily to it, and you can learn to do it pretty much for free.

Not even counting the increasingly useful benefits it has on a social level. My friends and family love me because I can fix most problems with their phones and computer easily. My cousin's wedding planning business she started three years ago is doing pretty well now because I made two apps that make shit easier on her.

A dive bar I go to used to be in the fucking stone age. They did almost all of their bookkeeping and ordering on paper and it took the bartenders forever to close up because of that.

I wrote a program(took me like a month and a half in my spare time) to make everything more efficient for them, showed them how to use it and what to do. It made almost all of the pain in the ass shit there so much easier for them and now I rarely pay for my drinks there because they're so grateful.

I installed ubuntu and just gave myself little assignments -- like learn how basic networking works, learn how to use ssh, write a script that runs local backups on my machine to an external drive using rsync, etc. To get the absolute bare-minimum knowledge to bullshit an interview took me only a few months. Once I got a job doing it, I realized how much smarter all of my colleagues were so I had to learn more for the next 7 months, quit, doubled my salary at another webosting company/datacenter. Rinse/repeat, getting more knowledgable the whole time.

NEET here. There is plenty of ways to make money as a NEET. I got a disability diagnosis and I live in a city. I rent a 900 dollar apartment. I get around 800 a month. I'm on a plan that is paid for by the government. They give me all sorts of free shit in my budget like taxi fare and paid for gym memberships and martial arts classes. Life is cozy. I plan on doing amateur MMA soon if WWIII doesn't happen.

I've had sex with a couple of girls, some with jobs, some without. I've just got very good at lying and giving an impression that I do something else.

I'm very well, dressed, well-spoken, intelligent, and physically fit, despite being a manlet.

I'm living the life.

If you wanna make money as a NEET you just gotta know people and take risks. We don't have anything to lose so YOLO.

NEET here.. It's true, my life is pretty boring. I'm not even enjoying life.. Oh well, maybe when summer arrives I'll get an energy boost from the vitamin D that the sun provides.

Now I'm off to bed.

Linux is just the OS (technically just the kernel of GNUI/linux) -- it's used for almost all web servers so I figured it would be a good thing to become good at managing. Programming languages, I startted with simple stuff, like bash (shell) scripting, then started getting into PHP. Most recently I've been using python most for devops / automation frameworks. Once you learn one programming language well, you can use any of them.

Why do all NEETs think they are smart? If you were actually smart, you wouldn't be sitting around like a dumbass all day.

Not that anon, but They can really only harass you as much as you let them. And For the work programme, it's all about networking. Got a family friend who runs his own car repair shop. just gotta ask to get set on with him and then i don't even gotta show up and he fills all the necessary forms for me.

t. 10 year NEET

People always have this question. The answer is that it does not matter at all. I would say pick any mainstream high-level language (PHP, Ruby, Python for instance). There are differences between them, but once you learn one, you can pick up another language in a few hours because instead of "How the fuck does this even work? WTF am I doing?" your questions become, "How do I access a class property in X language like I do in Y language?"

I'm a former NEET that just started a new job last week.

I'm actually planning on buying a van when I have enough money and using it to go around with a mower and weed whacker or using classified sites to find other odd jobs.

involuntary NEET reporting in.

I want to work, but I'm socially impaired. Not full blown autism, just impaired enough to fail job interviews.
