>what's it like to be a NEET?

Fun -great actually- at first, then it gets a bit boring, then it sucks.

>How do you spend your time?

on average
11:30 AM - wake up, stumble around turning off alarms and immediately fall back in my bed

1PM-2PM - wake up for real, eat the same thing as yesterday, browse 4chan & internet
3PM - walk my old-ass dog for like 15 minutes at most and resume 4chan
6PM - sneak into kitchen after my parents have left the room and eat the same thing as yesterday, eat in front of computer
7PM - walk dog again, keep on browsing 4chan
11PM - think about doing something else, keep browsing 4chan
12AM - think about doing something else, keep browsing 4chan
>1AM - Play vidya on my PS3, same games as yesterday, watch a bit of youtube while eating late-night snacks
4-5AM - go to bed as my parents are waking up
5-6AM - play a bit of mobile games and watch more youtube, browse 4chan on phone, finally get the shittiest 8-


> Are you happy with it,

No.

> or are you trying to change?

Gonna go get checked up at the doctor's and also look for a job for real this time.

If you are into infinite escapism then it's for you

Otherwise not really you'll want money to achieve great things like having a family

If you are friendless like me and cant relate to anyone you'll be in your room all the time and you will get bored

you'll go outside trying to walk or something but it's terribly boring and also you'll never be an exquisite male no matter how high-brow you think you are

So yeah it's boring overall, been a neet for 2 years now and i dont want to live under my moms roof any longer, im moving out soon

neetdom is a cocoon, it's great for a short period of time but youre not living, males need to build

>>what's it like to be a NEET?
It's the best IF there's something enjoyable to motivate you. This was easiest in summer when there's lots of outdoor activities to do. Or, when I'd get lost in some project or video game. It sucks when you don't do things and get lost in your thoughts... that's when your mind goes crazy.

>How do you spend your time?
9AM, get up after parents went to work
1-2AM, go to bed
Didn't really have set schedule

>Are you happy with it
I loved and cherished every second of it, but parents eventually made my ugly pathetic ass get a job. My goal is to retire in about 5-7 years and return to those glory days. Wageslavery is true hell.

>If you are into infinite escapism then it's for you
>Otherwise not really you'll want money to achieve great things like having a family
Basically this. I'm hideous trash from a lower class family that knew I'd never have a wife or kids by age 14. So, it was easy for me to accept my fate and realize I'm going to be alone, so make the most of it.
>>
>>24655529
>What's it like to be a NEET?
Quit my recent job about a month and a half ago. Been considered a NEET since then. It's great. I can do anything I want and as long as I don't act like a dick, my parents are cool with it.

>How do you spend your time?
Do house work, read, write music, practice it, play some vidya, shitpost, try to find TV shows to enjoy (but TV sucks so I stopped doing that), and pretty much just keep to myself while I make the house look nice.

>Are you happy with it?
Yeah. No bills, no worries about debt, no feeling of constant fear that if I don't break my back a certain amount then my house will be taken from me. Very laid-back while I actually do try to get my life started. And that's been failing miserably.

>Are you trying to change?
I'm really in no rush to get a career going. I don't want a family, don't want a big house, don't want a bunch of luxury cars, and I don't give two fucks about being a CEO or anything like that. I'd be cool with a fifth wheel camper and being the manager of some retail store or whatever. But like I said, not in a rush since work here is very picky (wanting college degrees to be a receptionist, 2+ years experience just to be a cashier at a convenience store, etc) and rent for a run down apartment or awful mobile home starts at $1,300, not including utilities.

7/10 NEET life.

>are you trying to change?
No. I want to, but I now have terrible social anxiety and no motivation.
I also don't want people I used to know to see how I turned out.

>what's it like to be a NEET?
I'm one of the happy NEETS, I have a leisurely personality and enjoy usually not having to wake up or be places at certain times, and not spend 8 hours a day most days a week confined to a workplace. So I really do enjoy the freedom from responsibility, and have been very grateful for it/

>How do you spend your time?
Well nearly all of the time I am awake at home is spent on the computer. On 4chan, fapping, watching TV, reading news blogs and other such websites, watching videos on youtube, etc etc. That said though I actually go outside almost every day, often for very long walks, and I have a regular yoga practice I have been getting very into.

>Are you happy with it, or are you trying to change?
Well the last 3 years I must have spent $3-4thousand on lottery tickets, believing that this is the one way out to get to enjoy being NEET indefinitely and in financial abundance. I still do feel this way, but the fact that I have been using up my trust fund money at an unsustainable rate and may actually run broke by next year when I request another distribution, has led me to seeking employment. Last week I signed up at a government sponsored employment service, and may go to some programs there, and my shrink also gave me a referral list of a few places that help people with disabilities find employment. I do have mild aspergers and OCD according to him, but the main reason I can't find employment is that I have a large employment gap following a termination, and absolutely no experience, skills or connections.

So I love being NEET, but being poor is worse. Therefore I compromise, I will assert that I will only work 4 days a week, explaining that its better for my own health, and better for business and productivity if employees have a 4 day work week.

What exactly it is I dunno, has to be a job where I move around, not sitting or standing in one place most of my shift. And my dream is still to just fucking win the lotter
>>
I enjoy being a NEET quite a bit. The only thing that would make it better would be to move out of my parent's. Fortunately me and my girl friend are doing just that in January.

Here's my day today:

>wake up at 2pm
>drink a coke

>eat some leftover turkey
>text my girl friend

The lottery is a tax on people who can't do math.

Must be great being NEET.

The only way someone becomes NEET is if they're stupid or mentally ill.

You're basically the stereotype neet kid

I think your life sounds nice personally
>>
>>24659295
People still win the lottery, therefore its at least possible I could win, and the positive feelings associated with this makes it all worth it, in moderation. I want to limit it to $20 a week. May sound like a lot to you, but compare that to whatever else people spend $20 a week on which doesn't even give them that.

>The only way someone becomes NEET is if they're stupid or mentally ill.
Explain please. Do you live in a place where jobs are so abundant they go looking for you, rather than hundreds of people applying to every entry level opening? Or a socialist government agency which actually gives people jobs rather than just telling you to go apply to jobs?

Someone becomes NEET when they cease to be employed and/or a student, and are unable and/or unwilling to get employment or continue in school. Also, super richfags who are early retired living off the returns of their multi-million investments are NEETs too.

NEET life is shit and I waste all my time doing trivial shit. That said, it's preferable to the alternative, I'd rather be dead than have a job. I can either spend all my time doing trivial shit I enjoy on my own terms or spend all my time doing trivial shit I hate on somebody elses terms.
>>
I have been NEET for various stretches of time in the past.

The best time was when I got fired from my job, but I pretended to keep working so my mother wouldn't throw me out.
>wake up around 7 am
>have about an hour to putter around before Dad gets back from night shift
>take a train into the city

I seriously miss those months I spent doing that. I was such a worthless piece of shit but I felt so at peace.

The worst NEET times were when I was too depressed/unmotivated to do anything. There were bad times where I would just sleep for almost 20 hours straight.

Im pretty normie for a NEET, I can talk to people If needed, but I prefer being alone.

Granted, I still think it will get better and Ill get a family of my own and a nice job.

I used to be unhappy with it, but then I had to work for a few weeks. It was unimaginable torture for someone who hates doing things and has zero need for money because there's nothing I wan to buy. I will kill myself If I have to wageslave for fifty years of my life full time. Part time would be totally acceptable though, or maybe like 3 16/16/8 days, three days work. 4 days off. I could live with that too.
