I'm worn out, even though I haven't done anything all day. Back at home after my degree, getting bitched at for not having work yet. I just wish I could find a decent job; the NEET life is killing me.

I got laid off Friday without warning.

I wasn't even told by my boss, IT came over to take my computer away.

I had a great job, now it's gone out of thin air and I have to reapply to places all over again.

Where I live, there are 500+ MINIMUM applicants per job. I was very lucky to have my position, in a big company too, now I'm back to NEETdom for a few months again most likely.

I have two jobs. I got no shifts all week for one of them, meaning that my next paycheck will be abysmal.

Meanwhile, I got assigned a bunch of new duties at the other one. I'm flattered that they think I'm responsible enough to handle it, but I'm worried I'm going to crash and burn.

Do you have a car? If you do, pizza delivery is a pretty good job. You're guaranteed at least minimum wage, usually closer to $8 or $9/hr though. Literally just pick up a pizza from the store, follow the directions to the house, they sign the receipt and take the pizza, drive back. You'll wind up spending 5-10 minutes of minimal social interaction and 30 minutes driving around listening to your music.

If not, try mturk. It won't make you enough to support yourself but it's a productive way to spend your time on your computer and get enough to buy some tendies or a game or something.

If you're semi-gud at economics and stocks, you could try using that money to flip bitcoins for more money.

If you can, learn a trade like welding, pipefitting, or millwork. The requirements are little to none, coworkers are based chill guys, the pay is good, and it'll get you in shape. Plus then you can look down on all the people who, while they may have A job, they don't have a REAL job.

I am starting to come out of my shell more and am socializing with people at work finally. For the first time since elementary school, I don't feel like an alien trying to blend in with other people.
Although, I found out the girl I like is gay. But maybe we can at least be good friends at some point? And maybe I can turn her straight with my newfound normie charm. Or something.

Sorry, don't mean to shit up the thread with my normie feels, things have just been going pretty fucking well for the first time in a while, and I thought I'd share that.

Hope you all have a stellar night.

>>26684102
Does she know that you're into her? I tend to think girls have a radar for that sort of thing but if she doesn't then maybe you should tell her. If she says no then you should look else where, there are always other fish in the sea even when it looks polluted. Congrats on feeling better though I'm trying to get out of my shell more too.

I'm never happy with anything I do. Every day I over analyze the last conversation I had, the last text I sent, etc. I pick it apart until I find something wrong and I worry about it for too long.

I never finish anything either. I started a woodworking project a month ago and I just have no motivation to finish it. I'm in the middle of Hard Times by Charles Dickens and I've completely lost interest.

I just want to do things. I want to set my mind and my hands to something and see it all the way through. I don't want to be a sad cunt who hates himself and leaves things unfinished.

Now it's all reddit this, cuck that, normie, SJW, /pol/fag, Chad, roasties, arguing over who can or can't be a robot... It's just tiring.

About a month ago I stopped feeling bad about >no gf

I don't know how it happened, I just woke up one day and realized it wasn't worth it, because it probably won't happen. I feel like I'm changing in some way. Definitely not for the better, but not for the worse either. It's a truly weird feel.

Eh, it's just shitty when you put so much trust into a single person only for them to spit it back in your face.

Besides this shit is good to get off your chest anyways.

My gf and I were on a break over the summer, (her idea not mine). Everything is going well, we start chatting again and she suggests the idea of getting back together with me. I ask her if there is any reason as to why I shouldn't be with her. "No, of course not Anon."

A month or so passes and she calls me at work saying that she has something very important she has to tell me but she doesn't want me to be upset. I think to myself, "Oh shit she's pregnant, better convince her to stand at the top of a flight of stairs". But she goes on to tell me, that why we were on""break" she thought it would be a marvelous idea to get drunk with her best guy friend whom she knew had feelings for her. By an act of God they end up fucking, and she claims that she was raped. (Not the first time, she was "raped" by her tai kwon do instructor, (or however the fuck that shit is spelled). After she fantasized about how awesome it would be to fuck a man as old as her father when she was 16.) People just use alcohool as an excuse for their actions which is the biggest crock of shit I've ever heard of.

I was fucking furious she lied to me and I never forgave her. People are so manipulative, fulfilling their own wants even if that means hurting other people. This world disgusts me as I know that I am guilty of this too. Human beings are good at one thing. And that is holding each other back.

Hit me with another rum boss.

Thanks anon. Appreciate it.

No no, I don't want to burden you with that. No one likes listening to this shit, even if we mean well it takes an emotional/mental toll on the person receiving.

I'll tell you something happy instead.

There is a girl I met in Uni before my mental break down. I went in a year early to study Biotechnology. My dream was, is, a cost efficient forearm prosthesis with 20+ degrees of motion and response time faster than modern myo-electric EMG based forearms, while being built cheaply (but sturdily). I still dream.

She was the FIRST person in the WORLD that listened to, reciprocated, and genuinely talked to me about stuff, about my autistic ramblings. For a year and a half (few months gap sometimes, my fault) she's kept it up. Whether it be out of pity or guilt, she gave me a spark, not her person or personality or some other "self" bull shit she just made me happy. Being around her made me happy. No need to bull shit. No need for superficial conversation. Sometimes just silence, and that was nice. Now she's off doing better things. I'm going to be alone in life. I'm sure, I'm just a terrible person when it comes to this stuff, but once I make the forearm, I'll show it to her first. Then I can die happy, once its made and she sees it, would like for it to be used though.

So thats the dream man. I'm hitting the sack. Early therapy tomorrow morning. Meds wearing off, can feel my heartbeat rising again, have to sleep before it gets worse.

Thanks for reading, really appreciate it.

I'm trying to pick what branch to join now, leaning towards the Navy because I hear they travel the most and right now that sounds ok. I don't know where I'm going with this, if it is going to be permanent or if I am just going to wind up doing this for a couple years then retire back to being a NEET. I'll probably sign up for something in the next few months, I'm tired of just sitting around doing nothing but this all day.

Well, fuck that's more than I'm doing. It seems like something that could make a difference in people's lives, and that's a great pursuit. Good luck with that, brother.

How's the exercising going? Don't know much about the Navy, but it's good you've got some plans laid.

Navy is a good choice, but expect lots of gay jokes from other branches.

A little bit of nothing's good. Too much something can get bad fast.

Hello me minus bothering to look through tinder.

>>26686235
Its going ok, not easy to adjust to it because I've lived a pretty sedentary life, but I am getting used to it.

>>26686278
I've actually already gotten a little bit of this from an Army recruiter I spoke to. I'm still pretty undecided on who to join, the Navy just sounds like it'd be nice. Especially the long stretches of being out on the ocean alone.

how does this work? can I start drinking now?

Starting to worry I'm becoming depressed or something.

I've been feeling so insanely irritable recently. Everything sets me off. And tired, and sick, but I haven't come down with anything I just feel physically ill. I have indigestion and headaches a lot. I started drinking by myself a lot over the past few weeks and hiding it from everyone.And I still feel tempted to. Plus I started smoking again. I feel like crying a lot, and just lying around. I dunno, it sure sounds like depression to me.

OP .. I don't know how to tell you this, but he apparently died of cancer.

I'm having one of those days where I despair over the fact that I have another 50-60 years of lonely, meaningless tedium to slog through.

I'll drink anything that's strong enough to make me stop thinking for a while.

I work on ocean-going container ships. I shit you not, long periods at sea are comfy as hell. I don't know what it'd be like on a military ship, but during my free time I got out on the bridge wing with my buddy and we smoke, shoot the shit, and look at the sun ducking beneath the horizon. Out in the middle of the south pacific there is ZERO light pollution. You can see the entire galaxy unfold before you, the entire sky is populated with constellations and the occasional pale reddish orange dot of a nearby planet.

The work isn't that great though. I tighten lashing gear, chip rust, and hose the deck while we're underway. When we make a dock I move lines and pull late-night gangway watch. There's 30 men total on the 900 foot ship I work on, so you get to make some friends too. It's kinda hard to get into now, because there's only around 250 ships left in the US merchant fleet, and the spots usually go to people with experience. But it's worth a shot if you can deal with a small amount of union and certification bullshit.

Does anyone else ever feel like everyone you meet is just full of shit?

Like everything you encounter is just so plastic and fake and everything is an act.

Your pet died? Say this.

You are pregnant? Say this.

You are sad? Say this.


There is no substance anywhere. Everyone is just struggling through life and they are going to act in ways they can't predict but are so predictable.


It's hard to put it in words.

>>26686766
That sounds pretty good
Navy is my back up plan for if I fuck up
My buddy wants to be fucking Neal Armstrong of Mars or something close to that so no navy buds
Qt friend also said the military is her back up
Is this common to have military as a back up

Sorry, Anons. My shift's over, I'm off to sleep.

If someone wants to take over, be my guest. If not, you Anons can help yourself to whatever's behind the bar.

I'll have a porter, thanks barkeep.
Haven't felt this bad in a while. My life situation hasn't changed, I still have a shit-tier job and some failed normie friends to hang with on the weekends, but I guess it's finally sunk in how hopeless it is and how horrible I feel has come to the surface. And now I'm piss fucking drunk on a Monday night, alone. If I had to use a single word to describe it, it would either be 'trapped' or 'despondent'.
