It helps to abandon any sense of tying your self-worth to your job. But then motivation becomes an issue.
I just struggle to motivate myself at all. It's enough just keeping up with work and eating and and that.

Idk man, doing really well at work is fufiling and doing my job well actually brings some happiness.

ibs or something with toast.
dairy taste like shit but me shit taste like zebra cakes.
>>24356019
why is that?
I developed the same problem, but not to that extend.
I developed some lactose intolerance, and on top of that, eating sugar will make me feel extremely fuzzy.
I can't think straight. It's even scary sometimes.
What's the issue?
Is it cased by nerve damage?

How was your relationship with your parents growing up?
>>24356507
Due to your own incompetence?
26 here too. Missed out on all of the enjoyable stuff. While I was wasting my life, I also failed to build the foundation for an at least possible later life. Now I'm in a weird place, somewhere between depression/apathy and crippling anxiety due to massive regrets.

I hear ya. Just hit 28 a few months ago and realized that if I don't get on track and quickly that I am going to end up totally fucked.
26. Still don't have friends or go outside to make them. Still devote most of my time to learning and reading.
I am looking at buying a house next year, but looking through them is stressful. I know I want a lot of space for all the relatively useless shit I buy. But I also would prefer a lot of land, because being around people is no good. It's hard to get both on my budget.

If you can imagine living rurally I think you can find an ok property with some land fairly cheap. At least where I'm at you can get a rural house on a 10 hectare property for the same price as a house on a midget size lawn in the suburbs.

Grade tests for ETS. You need an English/Linguistics degree for the ones I do. They have AP tests to grade for other languages though, and other subjects, lots of stuff. I'm not sure why I thought to check their jobs section one day, but I'm glad I did.

I'm just worried about the rural aspect for if I ever want to go full recluse. Grocery delivery doesn't reach the really rural spots, and I also want to find a place where I can manage without driving.
I'm definitely looking at that spot in-between the suburbs and rural area though. I don't want to live in the middle of a city.

I study, so it's not all lost yet and during my NEET-time I did train myself in webdesign and videoproduction, so my online-biz keeps me afloat.
Personally, I'd say, if you're on a wagekek-basis, your best bet is to become selfemployed. Get some tutorial-videos from the shady places of the internet and educate yourself while saveing up money to buy the stuff you need to go legit later down the line. If your country is as supportiv of new businesses as mine (most countrys are right now, actually. Unless your country is a third world shithole) you can buy the stuff you need, deduct it from your taxs, get some low-interest loans if needed (not recommended) and you get further tax-benefits if you're startup is writting red numbers for the first few years (three here in Krautistan). You could even get a car and write it off as a business-expense when you could use one (I do web-biz so I couldn't, but would) Just fucking jew the system out of every bit you can and see if it works, you can allways go back to wagekeking.
I'm a happy owner of a small pornside and do webdesign and videoediting/production on demand, it's really not that hard.
I'm currently thinking about learning to properly code, so I could make some freelance-bucks. Just educate yourself, fools.
I'm still a social outcast though, but I stopped careing a long time ago.

IT nerd, but a low level one
My situation could be a lot worse, especially considering I was NEET for years.
I have no motivation, I don't give a single care about work or what anyone thinks of me.
Holding up fine, I guess. I'm not depressed or anything, and haven't been for 3+ years. Life feels pointless, though.
>>24356019
26 in Feb as well but luckily I don't have those problems
stopped showing up to uni and quit my part time job. got a full time job at a call center. the further i get into training the less confident i feel.
25, still a virgin and living with my parents. i get drunk alot. depressed as fuck. i dont even feel like drinking anymore. the one thing that was fun is gone. i spent 3 years orbiting a girl and giving it everything i could. id buy her shit, id listen to her, id drive her everywhere, id drop everything to be there for her. all for nothing.
if this job doesnt turn out well this might be the end of the road for me

>>24357565
I worked in a callcenter for about 2 months. It's fun if you like to try and hone your rethorical weaponry, but it's mindnumbing if you do it for a longer periode of time. Also, your colleagues are very important. Most of the time you're bored out of your mind, since you literally constantly stumble upon the same stereotypes of people and say the same lines over and over again or wait for the dialer to get you a new customer, so being able to jam with them is a plus.
The best phonecalls were those that I had with people who were totally pissed about something the company I was selling for, did. Usually ended up in a sale with those fucks, since I made them thought they'd get a special appeasement-deal but still pay the same overprized shit.
After the 2nd month it was allready mindnumbingly boreing though, so watch out.
Oh and even if it sounds retarded, it really helps to "fight" for every customer you get, simply out of boredem. Change up your personality, try different voiceintonations, openingphrases, whatever, that's the fun part. The job really taught me a lot about salesmanship and human nature. enjoy! Do look for something else tough, since it makes you die inside if you do it longterm.
I remember each contract I pushed to some poor fuck in an eldery nurseinghome, even made a contract with some alzheimerfuck, who I constantly had to remind what to say when I did the contract-recording. I'm a soulless devil.

I started by "aquireing" the various "video2brain"-tutorials for stuff like after-effects and premiere. there's a shitton of very interesting videotutorials. After I aquired a basic-skillset and was able to do what most of the tutorials required, I just grabed my various cameras (my dad and I allways liked to film so we had a semi-professional Camera and each of us a DSLR) and made some videos. First on holidays, then from sports we do and then we just progressed into more and more videoproduction related stuff and I decided to open a business.
We have a wide range of GoPros and lend them out, we do weddings both in video and photo and we recently aquired a drone and I'm now learning from v2b how to use it to make killer photos. Our biggest income-margine are the edits we do for others, though. People send us their videos, I usually talk to them about what they want and afterwards we edit it. It's mostly easy work since most people are utter shit at acutally takeing photos and filming, but we do what we can in terms of editing and then send them back. We also digitalize old tapes, but that is very timeconsumeing and I'd say not that profitable, albait there's a shitton of demand for it.
tl.dr: I don't know if video2brain produces videotutorials in other language then german, but they fucking rock and you can learn most things from them. They even have videotutorials on how to do act-photogrphie, which is something that interests me greatly and will probably be something we'll offer soon, too.
Just start educateing yourself and see how far you go, when you feel like you're on a proficient level just start going legit. Like I said, worsed that could happen is, that you end up with some very expensive stuff that you wrote off in your taxes and therefore jewed the system. Like we bought the legit version of adobes Mastersuit for 2,8 k Euroshekles and paid virtually nothing for it, cause of taxbreaks for startups
>>24357979
I doubt it. I'll be 35 in April, I'm sure there are others older than you.

Been neet for the past 3 years and not really sure what to do with myself. Looking at a part time job as package handler for UPS to get me back into the groove of working. Also looking at 2 year programs at local college. Power lifting is only thing keeping me sane. Considering a security guard license, are those jobs hard to get?
26.
Probably going to end things soon enough.
>>24358635
Package handler is extremely easy to get, especially during the holidays. UPS also has tuition assistance stuff if you go to college. You can get money for college if you fill out a FAFSA.
It's an annoying job, but you are basically getting paid to exercise, which is good.

For unskilled labor UPS is a pretty good job to have. Stick with them, get the benefits, go to college on their dime (at least CC), see what you want to do with your life after that.
>>24355843
Well, I've given up on society. I don't want to contribute anymore, so I don't. I just travel around from town to town with a backpack and a guitar and leech and sponge and move on again. I look at the world and realize that the forces that be have declared that I am an enemy, and I've become content to adopt that mantle... maybe not content, but at least accepting of it. The holidays are coming up and it's getting cold outside, and I'm going to spend them alone, probably with a bottle of bottom shelf booze if I feel festive, or manage to work up the desire to sponge enough cash to go and buy one.
What really makes me afraid is that, I remember when I first set off into the world, I had such high hopes for everything. I figured I would experience real novelty, see exciting, different things. It would be nothing but adventure. But I've been around the block a bit and I've come to find out that every damn place is the same. No. Really. It is. There is NO FUCKING DIFFERENCE between New Orleans or Asheville or Los Angeles or even bumfuck nowhere places like Taos or Las Cruces or the outskirts of Laredo. The only reason I feel the need to keep moving on these days is so that people won't fucking hate me for being a constant lump on their otherwise pristine society, devoid of me, and maybe, somewhere, in the back of my mind, I entertain the small improbability of finding a place that might feel like an actual, authentic home. So... I'll keep on wandering, with nothing but my backpack and a guitar, and hope I find some place worth staying, and worth settling down, but I'm scared, anons, because I'm beginning to think that that place doesn't exist, and I'll be doing this until it either consumes me or I simply cannot do it any longer.
Just let me use this opportunity to talk with someone. 27yo, 28 soon, no friends, no nothing. I've been alone all my life.
Year and a half ago i've met her online, she was 16. Cute, virgin girl, very lonely but interesting and funny. Like a thousand miles between us. Every day and every on night we've been sharing deep thoughts, exchanging photos, having skype sessions. All this time i knew this is not going to end well, because i'm not even a human to reach for my dream, to be her first and only. I'm too disconnected from reality to do that. Fast forward. I've felt the cold, she felt it too. Hysteria and panic begins. We tried to deal with them at first. I can't talk anymore, sorry. Yesterday we have ended our story. I am the living dead now. I don't think i can bear all this. I should have never drag myself into this.

It's community college. You won't stand out, trust me. CC's are
--18 year olds who couldn't get into real college because they fucked up in high school and are trying to get their shit together to transfer to a state school.
--18 year olds who couldn't get into real college because they ARE fuckups and are just here for 13th grade because daddy told them they'd have to get a job or go to school and school seemed easier.
--Adults who are there to get their shit together and do something with their life.
Generally the population breakdown is group 2, group 3, group 1. Most people there will be the dumbfucks you went to high school with. You were smarter and better than them then, you're still better than them now.

College loans. Auto loan. Credit card debt. Medical bills. Not to mention drug abuse.
I work hard to maintain a certain appearance and lifestyle, one that is far beyond my means. No one in my "real" life believes I'm anything less than a successful charming business professional. But it's all an, expensive, fabricated lie.
I fully accept my struggles are my own doing and have no one to blame but myself. Bankruptcy followed by public humiliation and shame, or suicide are my only remaining options.

Welcome to the first taste of a breakup.
Yours was very minor as it was just an online relationship.
I had the taste of a breakup for a 6 year relationship with a 8/10 Lebanese girl.
Does not taste good and I will never again give that much of myself away emotionally. Always expect it to end and always expect the worst.
Be prepared for when it happens.. and it will happen.
You will get over your loss but you will not be the same. I am dating a qt Chinese girl for a year now. Everything is perfect.
But I am NEVER letting myself get in to deep emotionally.
We can marry, buy homes, have children, who knows? But I am ALWAYS going to be prepared for it to end or to be back stabbed. When it happens I will be ready.
When i tell her "I love you" my mind is always telling myself I really don't and she does not love you.
Anyways.. to also add to this thread.

Still in university with 2 years to go
Just landed my first ever job as a jr project manager in a construction company after lying through my teeth to get the job.

Because it beats the alternative which is
a) starving
b) living off a few hundred per month and "living" either in section ape housing or having roommates all your life
>>24359606
College loans and medical bills aren't what's killing me. I make more than a decent living, but I blow it all on making minimum payments on the lines of credit I have, and the rest gets spent on hard drugs to escape the reality that is my life.
Again, I'm not proud of any of this. I recognize that I've seriously, seriously fucked up my life. I don't ask for help because I have no one to blame but myself.
When I was younger I grew up being told that I was smart and special and would be successful. Much like manu of you heard I'm sure.
The difference is, when I failed to meet those standards, rather than become a neet and hide from the world, I constructed an entire life of lies and deceit using money. A flimsy cardboard exterior of some kind of wealthy charming socialite. Women, cars, cocaine, you name it. The longer I've faked it, the harder it's become to tell the lie from reality to anyone but me.
Normies can't, or refuse, to see the truth. Even when I've broken down and confessed, they brush it off; someone like me can't be THAT bad off in their eyes.

The only exception to this is Sunday which I then have to use to prepared for another whole week of this endless hell.

All are pretty crap man to be honest.
If you want a construction related skill that will always be in demand go take a short course in estimating or quantity surveying.
Office jobs which have good career progression.
I am am this guy
>>24359650
All the trades you have mentioned are much more physically demanding then you can think.
I have a herniated disk so I went for the white collar route in construction. I suggest you do to because you can expect to be moving all day, lifting heavy things, crouching, laying down and sitting in awkward positions in order to install things correctly.

He's a loser because he's managing a call center out of college instead of managing a bank or a restaurant or something actually worth doing. He's feeling like a big peacock with his 16/hr or whatever and he's probably still there but I was worse off in life than that.
Sometimes that's what it takes in life. Seeing some huge loser and thinking "haha what a douche...wait a minute he's a douche but he's better than me. How fucking low am I?"

32 here.
Lack of testosterone and years of neetdom preserving my pathetic frame had one of the students in the college I'm going to think I was 20. Doesn't matter since I'll never befriend any of them.
It's honestly like purgatory. A waking nightmare where I'm perpetually adolescent. And ain't nobody hiring me when they realize I have no real work experience aside from volunteering. Just a charade until the world collapses/suicide.
Anyway, good luck to you. Hope you do better than I think I'm going to do.
>>24361246
I'm 20 but I was the same way. We're basically fucked and there's no deviating off of the same path these old faggots took.
Well, I am a 43 year old mother of 2. So that makes me pretty much great grandma around here.
turned 27 last week. had a birthday party with friends. I guess some people actually care about me, even though I fail at everything i try and destroy everything i touch.
My family is full of psychos, I'm depressed and lonely as fuck and nothing helps except alcohol (tried therapy and meds).
haven't had a gf before.
Have a crush on a girl, never crushed so hard on anyone. we actually cuddle sometimes at parties and i try to make her laugh, she gives me kisses on my cheek. pretty sure it's just because we're friends. I found myself looking her up on fb every now and then, going to hangouts where she might be. stopped because i felt like a fucking creep (which i probably am), better leave her alone before I screw her up as well. still can't get her out of my head and lost my ability to masturbate.
life is fun. not.

>I don't know a single person who's really been NEET and actually wants to go back.
Every time I've lied to myself about the possibility of getting a job and making it into society the only thing I've ever thought about is retreating and going back to being a neet.
People instinctually isolate me and I have nothing to relate to the normals that pervade this planet.
I'm probably in the small minority, though. Most people here are going to make it.
>>24361590
I did a lot of looking into teen suicide a year or so ago. This site was mentioned a couple of times as a place to watch. I come here and just read frequently.
It's essentially a cold war in my house right now. Been doing 4 years of college right now, 1 year left, in theory.
I thought it was pretty bad in my house, but I got an email from a grill who I used to be close friends with in the US back when I lived there. Good god
>She's from Vietman, has two brothers and typical asshole asian parents
>One day, her mother said she wished her children were dead so that she wouldn't have to worry about them anymore
>conflicts got heated in the household since then
>grill ends up moving out
>her parents don't take it seriously until they noticed her stuff wasn't in the apartment anymore
>they went up to her while she was working to confront her. She works in a fucking supermarket so this caused a large scene in public.
>one of her coworkers had to step in as well as management, they had to kick her parents out of the store
Apparently, she got a BF and moved in with his family but even that's kind of a mess. Part of me is sad because I once wanted to date her, but had to leave the US before I could make a move.
Part of me is happy because holy shit, I knew her family was going to be cancer and I didn't want to deal with that shit.
Plus I don't have it as bad as she does, she's barely surviving, and the peers in her family were told they were prohibited from talking to her. Some members of her family disowned her.

I'm 26 years old. I am a NEET living with my parents.

I used to have friends from my high school years, but I don't meet them anymore. I can at least talk on Facebook or Steam with them.
I am a kissless virgin and I will never get a girlfriend.
I have a mental illness, take meds, and see a psychiatrist. I get autismbux which I use to buy my food.

Welcome to asian girls. Getting them to like you isn't even half the battle.
26 here.
I just walked out of a call centre sales job even though it's my sixth call centre job in a year. Now I'm regretting it, I just got tired of being a number and a spreadsheet of stats to my managers. They could never even remember my name and looked at me as scum. Don't know how I'll pay rent now.
I have a gf but I pretty much failed a humanities degree (I know) and depression rules my life. My only friend seems to collect weirdos to make him feel better about himself, he's a normie surrounded by autists and mental cripples. I have no idea what I want to do with my life and my gf is turning into a landwhale + wants a family even though I can't hold down a job for more than 4 months. Plus I'm a manlet and don't want to raise a manlet kid who'll hate me forever.
I think suicide is near but I'm too much of a pussy to go through with it. Just waiting for something to snap or for things to get so bad I can't function any longer.

the best way to explain how i feel about my life is like im in quicksand, and i cant get out. i tried everything, no fap (couldnt last longer than 20 days), exercising, this, that
i dont know. i think if my bux get cut off i might move to a different province if it has bux. otherwise i might give my shot at dating in the philippenes, because even as a balding 4/10 male aparently i can meet a girl there
i think about suicide all the time, but i dont want to die, because i cant wait to see what the fuck happens to technology. like in the next 20 years its going to be so fkn amazing to see ai and robots, i think objectively this is the worst time to kill yourself
if my bux died, i might work as a nighttime security guard. yes the pay im sure will be shit, but its probs the only job a schizoid like me can be at and not feel like im losing my mind
till then its dota and masturbating to busty models for me

>>24364143
I got this at nearing 25, but the job market is much better than murrica (which I assume you're from). I did graduate programs, look for these. But by then, I had finished my uni. For you to close the gap a bit I'd recommend you get any internships you can on your first years. Even if it's unpaid, you need it.

I'm pretty sure this is what its going to be like from now on. All friends I had are gone or live in a town an hour away, wageslave life keeps me in town most of the time.
Haven't been able to get a gf for last few years despite having a few opportunities with some decent looking chicks, my own self esteem and lack of confidence coupled with my mental issues and the girls not knowing what the hell they were doing was how I fucked that all up. Also went bald over the last few years pretty much. Kind of getting used to it by now though, not as terrible as I thought it would be.
Pretty much just put the gf thing on the back burner for now, it'd be nice if it happened but I don't see it working out in the long run, there are too many fucked up things about me that women would have trouble accepting.
Now just trying to wage slave away and save some money while I'm at home, while passing time any way I can. Vidya and movies have gotten boring, I'm scatter brained all day, pretty much have the same weekly cycle of work M-F, get drunk at home Friday and Saturday, sleep off hangover Sunday, and repeat.
30 year old retail manager wagec.uck here. I've been going through life on autopilot for the last 3 years. I'm just about ready to hit the wall and need to change. I feel like I just need to get out of this place but I have $10,000 debt which must be cleared before I can even consider leaving. I'd honestly like to save up $10,000, quit, get my leave payments and just try and start life again with $15,000 or so in savings. That would mean I'm here until around September next year. It seems so far away. Every day is getting harder and harder.
>tfw almost 29

>>24365749

No wonder you are a fucking failure.
25 years old.
No job, no money, no college education, kissless virgin, and (obviously) no gf.
I get by using what little money I managed to save at my last shitty job that I got fired from. I'll find another shitty job in the next few weeks and continue being a retail/fast food wagekek until I die.
The irony is my dad did the same thing, except he was charming in his 20s and managed to bang a girl. He currently works as the copyguy at a Staples.
>>24365837
Not because of the degree, but because I was too lazy to do anything else.
I was basically just immature as fuck until about 22-23, when life and reality started to kick in and it was already too late, I was too far into the degree to turn back at that point, plus my depression was so bad during those last couple years of college that I had barely any energy or motivation to do anything outside of what I essentially had to do.
Basically I just get bailed out by rich parents all the time, will probably get a large inheritance someday which will probably be my retirement money and money that I'll be able to buy property with and live a relaxed lifestyle. I didn't want to play the game of the corporate world, its rigged against me and I don't want to go out there and compete with Chad on a daily basis. Just let me work my simple job that is low stress and highly predictable where I have to deal with the least amount of bullshit possible and be able to go home to my vidya and weed every night so I can fap and fall asleep.
>>24365921
Do like I'm doing. Teach yourself some sand nigger language and become a translator/interpreter.
>>24365837
I'm 30 and just started a humanities degree. I really give zero fucks. I've wasted my life up to this point. Might as well study something which I'm interested in now. Life is going to be mediocre regardless. Maybe I can find some way to at least regain passion again.
>>24365918
>He currently works as the copyguy at a Staples.
Fucking based
>>24365997
Which degree/what do you have a passion in?
>>24365958
I've had the idea of teaching English overseas since its super fucking easy to get your license to do so if you already have a bachelors degree. And pretty much there is a translator there who just teaches them what you are saying so you really don't even have to learn the language in whatever particular country. It would be nice to get away from my hometown for once since I've lived here my whole life.
Also the hopes for finding an asian qt who likes me and would want to be with me. I'm disgusted by the state of American women, they are all vacuous whores who contribute nothing to a relationship and only care about themselves. At least asian girls aim to please and would appreciate me, even though they'd probably just like me because I'm American and come from money, but hey, can't complain if I'm getting good pussy and I can do whatever I want and don't have to deal with bitching all the time.

Fucking girls without giving a shit about them, just to forget your problems, is a very chad thing to do. Doing it in a foreign country is a real nigger thing to do. Think of the native population's men and how they feel having their women corrupted.
>>24366264
The girls in America won't bang me cause they all want Chad, and I'm definitely not Chad, I'm just a decent talker and somewhat charismatic and humorous, semi good looking with a couple of noticeable cosmetic faults. The girls I've got with her aren't really that great of lays, just girls I got lucky with and got in at the right time when they were feeling depressed, and when I finally learned how to not be a complete pussy around girls and be able to deal with rejection.
I don't give a fuck what the native population thinks, these asians want American dick more than they want asian dick because American dick can get them out of their shit hole country and into America. And then they'd be super grateful for that and aim to please you all the time instead of being like American women who are impossible to please and will go fuck Chad if you make one minor misstep, and then divorce you and take all your money.

Agreed. I'm 32 and realized I have no one to impress but myself. I've just started classes and I actually enjoy them. I've been working out again and I've lost 10 lbs since September. I'm getting getting a defined jawline for the first time in my life.
I'm still struggling with making friends, but I'm hoping by just staying naturally positive it will work out. It feels great to legitimately not give a fuck about anything other than the few things you actually give a fuck about. As weird as that sentence sounds.

I was doing well with my classes this semester but then I had a psychotic episode. Was awake for a week, went completely batshit, had to be in the hospital for a week just to get my vitals back to normal.
I guess adult-onset schizophrenia finally came for me. I've been dreading it my whole life since my biological father's family was full of schizophrenics but I wanted to be okay and not crazy. I wanted to make my adoptive dad proud of me, even though he died in 2006.
I'm a mess.
At least now I'm on medication for it, although I need to get on the third med that the hospital was giving me because I'm currently only on two and it's really not working out. (I was already on an SSRI for major depressive disorder, the hospital just added seroquel and ativan. Currently not on the ativan. Feeling like shit and chainsmoking.)
I want to try better next semester, but I feel like a huge failure.
>>24371608
no, that's pretty much the right mindset to have regardless of your situation.
you definitely don't want to live a life where you constantly feel the need to impress your friends, gf, etc. there's no one you have to truly impress except yourself. everything good and nice you receive in life is simply a byproduct of that.

I imagine the most maintenance you really need to do is taking down videos flagged as copyrighted material, and that would only be Brazzers shit and the like that is spotted by their low paid monkey wageslaves who get paid to trawl pornsites all day looking for their stolen content.

You can buy a rapidgator premium account for $25 and download 2 TB worth of video tutorials that would otherwise cost you tens of thousands of dollars. You'll need to find a "sharing community" though where they upload that stuff regulary.

(wtf, this thread still up?)
I do freelance programming. Also some random gigs like websites. It pays well because I'm an expert in some niches with no Indians.

Just the other day I read the there's big demand for Drupal coders of high skill. Like, 100 eur/h demand. For a shitty PHP framework.
If you're autistic enough to live and breathe Drupal for a few monthswho are we kidding, of course you are, you're here, you can get those gigs.
Further handholding: once you know it inside out, and can recite what happens in function foo in seconds, you go and contribute to it. Fix some big bug, implement new shit, get it accepted. This makes you a name in the open source community, and you will start getting job offers without even looking.

>In love with a coworker
Same here the thing is the coworker I'm in love with looks like a pornstar so everyday when I come back home I vertically open two windows. One with a her fb profile pic and another with the pornstar's video. That makes me feel good .... for a few minutes.
