Did you choose the NEET lyfe or did the NEET lyfe choose you?
Personally, the life chose me. Despite my efforts, education, work history etc. I can't find anything to support me. I live with my parents and have no hope at this point. Trying to learn to accept it, but I just can't don the smug pepe when I'll never get bux, have debt, and feel miserable all day.

Dude, turn to self employment. Get a skill like web development or something, you'll be able to live on your own and do your job how and when you want to do it.
>>27687242
i want to hug you anon
>>27687270
>implying it's easy
>implying we can do it
>>27687242
Why can't you get a job, anon?
>>27687311
Not him, but a lot of people here have discovered the freedom of self employment. Much better than a 9-5 job
>>27687270
This.
Don't let anyone tell you you can't, a lot of people start their own businesses.
It doesn't have to be a million dollar idea, you can make something that gives you enough to live alright.
You don't have to be a wagecuck
>>27687369
I doubt real robot can do such thing.. we're fucked up
>>27687270
I've thought about studying webdev since I like computers and shit anyway, but I really don't have any ideas for websites outside of blogs.
>>27687347
I don't know at this point. I graduated with high honors, belong to my field's honor society, recently did an internship in my field, and the longest I've been unemployed since I was 16 was about 9 months.Actually, I do know. I have no relevant experience, no actual skills (my major is stupid and my jobs have all been menial garbage), am utterly awful when it comes to interviews, and have a very depressing, very low energy personality.
>>27687242
Neet life was forced on me. I tried getting a job but never managed to land one. One I did manage was seasonal and couldn't get anything after.
Both.
I was forced into this life, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

You can't get a shitty day job and a roomate and move out? How old are you now?
Just a question. What would you guys who are living at home with parents do if they were to, say, die in a horrible car wreck tomorrow morning?
I wouldn't be able to do anything, I would probably be homeless. Scary thought and I worry about it constantly.
Learn a language online, learn to code, and try to spend an hour at a library for most of your days
Just start a light routine
I chose the NEET life when I dropped out of TAFE but in Australia it's literally impossible to get a job if you don't have a qualification so maybe it did choose me.
>>27687600I'm 26. I do not want to live with a roommate or anyone else for that matter, and would only move out if I could live alone. I also have never had a full-time job in my entire life, and cannot seem to get even a shit-tier one. I refuse to work in restaurants or at call centers, so I probably seem spoiled, but I'd rather just continue to be miserable and poor instead of miserable, poor and busy all at the same time.
>>27687541
You can make websites for other people, lots of people will pay for someone to make and update their business website for them.
>>27687644
Live off inherited money until I sold the house, then fuck off to some cheap foreign land and live off the money. If it ran out before I died then I'd an hero
>>27687644
Government sends me money.
I was born to be a useless piece of shit.
>>27688387
Most of us live in the US, and thus, get nothing that our parents don't give us.
America is a terrible place for a NEET.
It choose me because I have a severe social phobia from being bullied all my life.
It fucking sucks, god I just want to get out there and talk to people without feeling like I'm going to have a heart attack.
Of course, can't get meds because of it except for one time where I managed to muster up enough courage and it turned out that the meds did more harm than good.
>>27690108
except you are being social right now you faggot
Holy fuck everyone of you neets is so depressed here. Seriously, are you neets depressed because you can't live like normies? What actually makes you sad?
I am a neet myself but I don't get depressed this much. I try to enjoy my life no matter how different it is. Internet is a big place, you can always find some entertainment that can make you happy.
>>27690295
This hardly compares to real life social interaction.
>>27690495
going to a doctor is a 1 on 1 talk like right now and you don't even have to talk much
>>27690440
You realize a symptom of depression is being unable to enjoy things like entertainment, right?
The most severe cases of depression make EVERYTHING you do absolutely horrible, no matter how it seems externally to other people. It's like having your life experience being set on autotorture.
>>27690440
>so depressed
Because we have nothing to live for you idiot.
Chose me, I guess.
Was never a true normie but managed to get by, had a job, was in uni, then I started showing signs of schizophrenia at 19, so everything went to shit. Diagnosed a year later. Got it kinda under control most of the time, but I can only ever function around the same people for 3-4 weeks before paranoia and delusion makes me crash and burn.
I fell into it. Living with my mom is alright. I've turned the garage into a pretty nice living space. Removed the garage door, finished the drywall, proper lighting. It's comfy. I also have no remorse about mooching off of my mother. She didn't earn the money she has.
>>27687644
I almost want that to happen. My mother is a shitty person and I would handle the money better than she does. Though, I can't sleep if i'm alone in the house, so that would be a problem
What happens to true neets at the late stages of their lives? I have never seen someone mention that they are 40 or 50 year old neets.
I am 21 year old neet currently.
>>27690806
i'm pretty sure i'll be in a criminal insane asylum before i get that old
>>27690806
I see plenty of them down the pub, but they're not the robots. I assume they just don't use sites like this as much though, just keep to themselves and go unnoticed.
>>27690806
Why do you always ask this question? I'm tired of answering this. Most legit NEETS won't live up to the age of 40 or 50 since their source of income "parents" have died or literally abandoned them. So most of them commit suicide and a rare few become homeless.
>>27690806
I think that's because 40-50 year old NEETs have no idea about this website.
I have seen some old virgins on this site, though. I suspect a large portion of NEETs kill themselves in their 30s.
>>27690440
Being purposeless, having no direction and no feeling of progression in your life leads to depression.
People need a reason to go on. You can't live for mindless entertainment forever.
Here in Germany you get money from government. Here are many old unemployed but they do Shit together while we ate sitting alone at home.
I dug my own NEET whole and fell into it even though I didn't want to.
Now I'm completely screwed. Whenever I try thinking about what I'm going to do in the future, getting a job, losing weight, moving out, all the responsibility that comes with being an adult, I have panic attacks.
>>27691059
And that's how I got addicted to benzos.
escaping NEEThood is a meme, just enjoy it bros
>>27690943
The life expectancy for a man who never marries is 58. Most neets have shitty diets, drug habits, and lots of other things that will kill them before they get too old.
>>27690806
I think its more
>>27690914
than
>>27690930
people in their 40s and 50 simply dont post here, NEET or wagecuck.
the ones who are actually here probably just lurk and rarely if ever post
>>27691124
>this level of delusion
Yeah that's like say underage kids don't post here either
>>27691096
I guess that makes sense. What do you have to live for at that age if you never marry or have your own family to care for?
I probably won't get married either, but it's not because I don't want to. I can't see myself with a woman at this point, it's been years and years since I even felt butterflies for somebody.
Fuck this place makes me more depressed for being a neet. I wouldn't be surprised everyone here is just a normie pretending to be neet. I refuse to accept that neet life is so horrible.
>>27687242
Sauce on qt animu girl?
>>27691199
NEET life isn't bad, sad NEETs just post the most.
t. happy NEET
>>27691199
neet life is horrible.
>>27690607
>>27691199
NEET life is great AT FIRST.
Think about how you're going to feel when your parents are dying, you have no job, no friends, no way to support yourself, etc.
Jobs suck shit, but they give people a basic social circle to interact with, a (painful) break from the monotony of endless media consumption, and a bit of money to live on.
>>27691266
Has anyone here ever gotten to that point, though? It seems like we all scare ourselves with that hypothetical and become wageslaves or kill ourselves long before we actually have to.
>>27687242
I didn't choose it. It's just the closest I can get to killing myself for now. I reject the lifestyle of the living and I aborted myself from the normie womb. I should be put to death.
I've tried to get a job but no one will hire me, and I'm not about to jump through fire hoops and kiss ass just to become a wage slave.
>>27687242
I had two older sisters that always made fun of me and mocked everything I did while having no father figure. That did shit to my self confidence.
>>27687369
>>27687418
What do you guys do exactly? Any pointers?
>>27687541
who the fuck would bully Lady Maria? fucking cunts
I try to find work (boy do I try) but because of "reasons" I never get hired.
Till I have a job it is NEET life, which ain't all that bad to be honest, but the nagging desire to be able to support myself and follow my dreams requires me go out and earn a living.
>>27691387
Butthurt gayboys on /v/
>>27691400
What are these "reasons"?
And yeah, NEET life isn't that horrible, it's more the fact that it's unsustainable and feels like constant pressure to do something.
>>27687242
Forced. I was born sick and bought into the "keep trying" crap. Turns out that hopelessly optimistic attitude of mine just ended up pathetic on me, and led me to this dead-end.
Just how it's meant to be.
Anyone saying NEET life isn't horrible hasn't been a neet for 8+ years. You weakely people who say I'm NEET! (but only because I'm going to school so only neet for this year) and other excuses should kill themselves.
>>27691467
i love Maria and would do anything for her.
On one hand I feel guilty that my mom works so hard for me while I'm just jerking off to traps and watching anime, but at the same time I don't want to be a miserable wage slave, I'd kill myself if its as bad as I think.
>>27691570
been NEET for 4 years
i'm more contented with it now than ever
>>27691570
Its really not that bad, most of the misery is self imposed.
>>27691665
4years is nothing
>>27691669
>it's not that bad
You wouldn't know you scum.
>>27691572
What if she told you to lie down and let her poop on your face?
>>27691687
what exactly is your problem, friend? show me on the doll where the NEET life touched you
>>27691726
ok you can fuck off now chad no one cares about you
>>27687644
I still get NEETbux and I still can get occasional somewhat shady odd jobs.
What do you neets do all day? I play video games, browse video game related stuff on the internet, watch Twitch and go out for walks at evenings.
>>27691687
dude, I'm 3 months away from my 8th year as a NEET. During this entire time I was only in school for about 6 months to get my GED.
I think it really depends on how ambitious you are. If you have higher aspirations than consuming media, fapping, and only interacting with others via internet, then it will be suffering as you watch your dreams slowly slip away. But if you truly accept being a "loser" then I can see how you can be content.
The NEET life always felt best during the times when I gave no fucks and accepted being a outcast who'd suicide at the first sign of adversity. Only when I try to improve does the reality of my situation become near unbearable.
>Was a normie
>sending application (hundreds )
>got no job so going to school
>failed extremely and will become a NEET if I won't get a job in summer
>>27691737
i'm a NEET, friend. making brownies right now
>>27691791
take care of mom's garden, feed the dog, watch tv and movies, legos and other models
i don't play much vidya
>>27691791
Shit post on chan sites, fap (a lot!), vidya, make music, do chore, self loath, sleep, work out, read, etc.
>>27691708
i would do as she bade me to
>>27691467
>What are these "reasons"?
I have no referenceable experience, no contacts, and most of my education from college is obsolete.
There simply is no rational reason for someone to hire me over the huge amount of competition for just about every single job no matter how shitty because I live in a major city with more people then low skilled jobs.
I understand why I am not getting hired, but people tell me to keep trying, and I have nothing better to do so I just keep putting in applications.
Martial arts, training for martial arts, youtube, media consumption, 4chan, looking up shit, crafting, video games, hiking, and plenty more.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck I hate when I fuck up the backlinks.
>>27687242
the life chose me, OP.
I had decent jobs, worked for 10 years in the same field, but my mental illness started running me down. I got fired from some jobs, every job was worse and worse, until the maelstrom just swallowed me up and I was homeless in San Francisco for a couple of years. They gave me some NEETbux but now I'm so scared of losing the money and Medicare that I feel paralyzed into inaction.
The NEET life chose me, but now I choose the NEET life. Friends, school, work. It's all draining as fuck, I'd rather be jerking it to anime.
I let myself fall into it, I'd say. By which I mean there's no one to blame but myself.
I thought everything would change after high school because I assumed my classmates were causing my social anxiety. But I got to college and found myself suffering just as bad. I messed up so many times and eventually I got tired enough that I couldn't go on. That was almost two years ago.
The NEET life is stressful because of family pressure to get a job. And I want to be useful, I want to earn money. I'm just so scared of people.

What state do you live in Anon?
Im in ACT atm
Doing uni and barely living off Centrelink
Only 3 days a week. The rest of the time i just want to die.
Not a NEET but the uni road is coming to an end so i soon will be
>>27693768Do you ERP as a boat girl?
I reached out for the NEET life and it met me halfway.
>>27694278
Nuh, I just find boat girls exceptionally erotic.
I chose the NEET life
#whiteprivilege
I'm locked in at this point though, I couldn't get out if I wanted to
I like the NEET life but I guess I'm just a super failed normie because I wish I had a small social circle and was confident enough to pursue sex.
Also it kind of sucks shit when you have to share bedroom with a sibling and constantly have zero privacy.
>>27694974Got F-list? I want to eat your ass out.
>>27695262I do but I'm nervous about posting it here. Do I get eat your ass out too? That's like my favorite fetish.
>>27695274Only if you're a slutty anime girl.
>>27695340The condition is you have to be a cute anime girl too, you know. I don't efuck boy characters.
It chose me. I have a job now, but I'm probably gone lose it soon. Heavy insomnia and depression. Got sent home today for walking in like a zombie today, got sent home a few days ago for walking in high. Got an hour of sleep just now. I feel weird. Used to be hiki 2 years ago for 5 years. A year ago had like my own misaki-chan like oneitis, lost her, almost died having my heart broken.
needs too much effort to go school, move out and do something
>>27687242
The neet life choose me. I went to university like my parents wanted me to and graduated despite having almost no motivation or interest. Afterwards I was never able to find a job, not even a shitty one that didn't require a degree because I still didn't have any work experience. I've been neet for 3 years now and I don't see anyway to overcome it.
The only downside to my neet life is that my internet is awful so I have almost nothing to do. I end up lurking /r9k/ most of the day and have become content with it. On the plus side, I'm an ugly loser that never fit into society so being neet allows me to avoid the pain and anxiety involved with that.
My life already feels over.
I have bad hearing so i've been finding it hard to get a job for nearly 2 years now but been neet around 6 years, on and off benefits etc. Had two or three jobs in the past but always part-time so they let me go when they were done with me i guess.
Really sucks i can't find a job atm might take the hearing thing off my cv and see what happens.
>>27687242
It chose me. My previous employer ran out of money, so I lost my job. I haven't been able to find a new one since then.
>>27695990
>on and off benefits
How do you get on them?
>>27696893
Walk into the job center and say hello im unemployed.
>>27696945

I tried that. All they did was ask for a resume and said they'll let me know if they have anything. They never do.
