What are your experiences like so far?
>>26980544
>Is the NEET lifestyle worth it?
i dont know what the fuck this means but if you aren't a failed normie and actually have things you enjoy doing in your life besides wagecucking with your 9 to 5 then why the fuck not
>>26980544
>Everyday is exactly the same
>no highs, no lows
>wake up exhausted after 10 hours of sleep around 1 or 2 pm
>watch the same anime series
>play the same video games
>read the same threads on 4chan
>think about making a change in my life tomorrow
>ignore/lie to my parents who are nagging at me to get a job, and eventually just stop talking to me altogether
>go to bed around 3 or 4
>hope I'll have dreams where I'm living a better.
>>26980544
the spare time will make you deeply introspective, not living by the social narrative will more you realize paralyzing freedom of choice
depends if you can handle it
I barely remember anything from my one year of unemployement except for feeling uneasy and anxious during the day when I knew everyone else went to work/school and I stayed at home playing video games.
I had hobbies before, hobbies i now have the money and energy to pursue further but when I was a NEET I struggled to even think about them.
It genuinely feels like I lost a year of life.

He who still enjoys escapism is not a real NEET
>>26980544
yesss goyim it's very worth it
>>26980706
How would you define a genuine NEET?
>>26980544
>is the NEET lifestyle worth it?
No. I constantly feel like shit and sleep for about twelve hours a day. I promised to study and learn new languages, but I have no motivation to do so. Everything I once enjoyed has grown to bore me and I just it to end. The only thing I can now look forward to anymore is death.

>>26981063
Does it simply get boring after a while?
It sounds kind of nice to not have to get up for school and then work.
>>26980744
Not in employment, education or training.
It's not worth it, not even close. It's boring. It's hopeless. There's no direction, you're just escaping reality in a neverending effort to kill enough time to go back to sleep, hoping you don't wake up in the morning. But you always do.
>>26981138
Unbelievably boring, the days slow to a crawl and the years pass in the blink of an eye
It's terrible
Most of the time I don't even feel like I count as a person. Like it or not jobs and education are a huge part of what a person is. Without that and without friends or any long term goals, everything just kind of falls apart.
That's not even factoring in the guilt you feel constantly and how much you hate who you are. There's also the constant overwhelming feeling of regret.
Don't fall for the neetlyf meme
>>26981239
It seems half of the neets say it is hell and the other half say it's heaven.
>>26981138
>Does it simply get boring after a while?
Yes. At first I thought it was the best fucking thing ever, an endless summer vacation. Do it for two years and you feel like you want to kill yourself.
The days go by like minutes and everything feels like a blur. Constant guilt of wasted time, thinking of how much money you could have earned if you didn't shitpost for 15 hours a day everydayYesterday I went back to my old job to eat there and I feel like going back
NEET for 7 years here. I moved on and got a white collar job in a big city making middle class income. Nothing will ever compare to those dreamlike days.

>>26981286
Some NEETs are extroverts who can't handle being alone while also having extrinsic motivation and so lose the will to do anything without someone giving them a reward for doing shit.
Introverts on the other hand don't mind being alone and if they are interested in a topic pursue it as far as they want.
tldr it depends on the person.
2 months in and I'm really enjoying it. Would recommend highly but only if you're the kind of person that likes to keep busy.
>>26981435
come to sweden and be my gf
>>26980544
it's fun for the first few months, but after about 6 months it starts to feel more like you are trapped in your own house. You are stuck with only the media you can consume on your computer and TV, you cannot afford to do anything else or go somewhere to change things up, literally everything but sitting on your computer takes money and generally as a NEET you don't have any money.
>>26981203
You are confusing depression with NEEThood, neethood can still be fun for those who are new to it, but gradually you become depressed and bored and want to sleep all the time.
>>26981573
how do you people not feel remorse for what your parents are going through? disappointing them like that...
>>26981594
Can't you go outside into nature or for a jog?
Both lives suck, but I find myself happier slaving away than I do NEETing.
And not because I get bored. Quite the contrary. I have a lot of hobbies that I did distract myself with when I was NEET. But I could never get the feelings of guilt to subside knowing I was <hobby here>ing all day while others were making progress in real life either at work or school. Couldn't shake the feeling that I was just stagnating in life.
>>26981661
I don't live anywhere near nature and it's too cold to go out for jogs right now, maybe in a month I can, but I have been trapped in this house since October and it's hell.
>>26981649
No remorse, why would there be? They aren't supporting me at all. Neither is any govt program. I NEETed myself.
It was hard work but it payed off.
>>26981594
You bring up a good point: Does being a NEET bother trustfund brats? They are NEETs yet because of their money can do anything they want with no restrictions. So would people be complaining about NEETdom be complaining if money was no problem?If rich neets ever get bored they could just buy a small company, hang out with employees and "work".
In my opinion the neet life is something you can experience at any age.
So i did rather work my ass off to NEET out sooner
>>26981573
2 months is absolutely nothing. It's a vacation. You barely have time to get adjusted to the NEET schedule & lifestyle.

lol I live in St. Cloud so I'm not too far from you, I used to be a neet shutin for a good part of my life until I found /fit and got in shape, then I managed to land a good IT job at a bank and have completely turned my life around, I even own a house. The point is that it's not too late to change things, what I found really helped me was to create some structure to my days, create a schedule and stick to it.
>>26981698
perhaps thats because of whatever shithole country you live in and not the neet lifestyle, its possible m8 :p
>>26981729
Maybe you're right. It still does feel like a vacation. But I haven't felt this free in a long long time.
>>26981367
I never got this meme. Sundays aren't true weekend days you gotta goto bed early.
Everyday is Saturday would be more accurate. You don't have to wake up early to goto work and you don't have to goto bed early to wake up early.
I feel like I'm the only genuinely happy NEET on /r9k/. I have no responsibilities, I can wake up when I want, I get to work on my personal projects all day, and when I get tired of that I can play video games or watch a movie. The NEET life really is the best life.
>>26981916
every day is sunday blox
>>26981916
I think it's from a time when Sunday was the only day off for the week.
how do neets even live
who pays for your internet? your food? etc
>>26982057
over 1/3 of millenials live with their parents
>>26982002
I think that's the key to it, you have to have some kind of structure or you get that directionless feeling. If you feel like you're spending your unlimited free time wisely I can see being happy as a NEET but the majority of us piss it away shitposting here. The grass isn't greener either, I've had it both ways. When you have it one way you long for the other and vice versa.
>>26982057
Most likely parents. Maybe the government for the NEETs who live in third world European nations or Australia.
>>26982002
What personal projects?
Anyway, I'm too miserable most of the time to do anything but sit online or sleep. I hate my life. I also have student loan debt, which is the worst thing to have, and I might as well just die now.
>>26982036

>>26982095
>When you have it one way you long for the other and vice versa.
Yeah. When I was NEET, the only thing I wanted to do was work and make money. Now that I'm working, all I want is time for my hobbies.
Maybe humans just weren't wired correctly or something.

>>26982114
You don't need govt money, just do it yourself through investing. It's really the best way.
>>26982105
Japan is fucking horrible when it comes to work. Salary-men literally hang out all day basically fucking around with paperwork and meetings. Lunch and diner is spent with coworkers and then have to go drinking with their boss/coworkers afterward. If they don't do this their careers are dead in the water.
>>26982119
We used to only spend a few hours hunting and gathering to eat, then we just hungout and had fun with our tribe.
The modern service economy is not even 100 years old.
I've been going in and out of NEETdom ever since finishing high school approx three years ago. The longest single NEET period I had was about 8 months or so. In between the NEET periods I have been either working or (attempting) to study.
From my experience so far, the NEET periods have been the best parts of my life since finishing high school. It has for the most part been anxiety free, and I have rarely managed to get bored of it.
I very much prefer it to the anxious mess studying and working made me become.
Of course I don't know how I would feel after a couple of years of NEETing but so far it seems to be the best option.

2nd year NEET here.
I want out. It reminds me of when I used to go swimming in the deep end of the pool as a kid and didn't think I would make it to the surface before I ran out of breath. The surface is almost there but I don't know if I'll actually make it senpai.

>>26983630
Start looking for a job anon or at least go to college and take 1 easy class so it makes it easier for you. Once you hit your 3rd year you get to comfy and won't bother.
>>26980544
I quit my job less than 2 weeks ago and I'm already going out of my mind with boredom.
Nah m8, I neeted for 2 years and just recently started venturing out of my bedroom, stated mowing mums lawn, applying for jobs and got a drivers licence and I feel better than ever.
I believe that a lot of people are depressed for a reason, they have no purpose or sense of self worth and lack the motivation to get some.
>>26980618
That comic looks comfy as fuck
I wish I could be a NEET, but also have the funds to buy as many videogames and whatever at the same time.
Until I have that, I can't be a NEET.
neet since mid 2009 here. but I don't feel like theres an alternative. I'm not needed nor wanted anywhere.
I miss being a NEET. I miss the days when I got to spend all day in my room. I would read and write. Or play games and my guitar. There was lots of time for reflection and thought. I would draw and paint. Cry and think of a girl I liked and how I was pretty much mute when in public or around her. Those were the days.
After getting I job and no longer nothing to think deeply about things or create art, I feel like I haven't been my self since then.
What if you don't waste your time playing vidya and shitposting, and instead read books, play an instrument, learn languages, etc. Wouldn't it give some sort of fulfillment and purpose and help you not to succumb to depression?
>>26981435
Will you become my tomoko gf? You sound like you can be trained into a nice housewife.

>>26986755
How do you make money, being a NEET? (Honest question)
>>26986755
what do u do for $?
Been a NEET for the past 2 years, and I'd say it's worth it.
Sure, you have limited social contact, no money, generally considered a loser, but like another anon pointed out, you're so much in touch with yourself, you appreciate the smaller things in life. It's a simple existence. But it's better than having no time to yourself.
I dropped out of university last year.
It's been a slight hell.
I expected more from my life by now.
I WAS MEANT TO BE GREAT.
I've learned a great deal. Lots of introspection. Lots of time spent consuming media and jerking off. But I want out. I want to escape. No more of having nothing to show for months of existing.
I took a gap year from hs to uni, and that year was fun. Now I'm the black sheep of my family.
Tomorrow I'm starting my life.
I'll be sharing my experiences here.
I don't want to be a loser anymore.
I don't want to be a nobody.
Been a NEET for about 8 months now. It's great, but I had many thousands saved up and live with my parents, so I've been able to buy pizza and video games and pay my car insurance.
It is coming to an end because the expectation is that I work.
The problem with the NEET life is that it takes a lot of willpower and self discipline to make good use of all that free time, thing is, if you had willpower and self discipline in the first place you probably would have never become a NEET to begin with.
Bored, anxious, afraid
long periods of time with too much or too little sleep
all the days and months meld together
forget to eat
dont talk to anyone and the few times family might talk you sound like a rambling idiot or a angry splerge
I need to quite my hikki ways...tomorrow
>>26980608
this so fucking much. the only people who can't live the NEET life are failed normies,
NEET life is great, but being a shut-in or hikikomori isn't so great.
At the very least you should go on walks, try to play pickup games at the park, join a book club, really anything to make sure you have some sort of human interaction beyond 4chan.
>>26988803
tfw failed normie but could live the NEET life with no issue because all I need is internet friendos, music and porn
>>26988961
If you could, you would.
>>26988974
I technically had for nearly a year but was forced to get a part time job afterward. Was nice while it lasted.
>>26981435
If... if o-only you weren't... w-werent a t-tranny... heh.
>>26980544
NEETdom is like a drug, man. You build up a tolerance.
I'm almost at the point where going out into the world and wagecucking is more appealing than my current situation, and that's probably a good thing.
I'll probably swing back though, now that I've had a taste of it for almost a year now since i dropped out of college, i'll always eventually miss the total freedom from the clock and total lack of responsibility I had.
The loneliness for me is the only negative. I would kill to have a fembot to hang out with and just talk to. I can't even remember the last time I had a conversation with someone.
Everything else is bretty good.
I think I've become desensitized to fun.
That's what 2 years of non-stop video games and anime will do to you.
>>26980544
15-19 time of my fucking life plus "unexplained" bursts of horrible aggression like hitting couple of cm above my gfs head with machete.

>>26981435

Your willingness to be cucked is hilarious. You literally, objectively like being cucked by minorities!
The NEET lifestyle is not worth anything. You'll soon learn that a man needs to work, needs to be busy and doing productive things, if you are to have any kind of self-worth or contentment. The NEET life is miserable, lonely, and mind-numbingly boring. I lived four years pretty much in my bedroom: it's shit and a waste of your life, and in case you need reminding, this life is the only one you get.
Wouldn't be so terrible if I had some money and a GF to fool around with
>>26980618
>everyday is exactly the same
Just like a wagecuck's day at work. Except he has to to shit he doesn't like for 8 fucking hours while a shitty boss is giving him commands.
After he comes home he's already stressed out and exhausted, he drinks a shitty beer and goes to sleep.
Then the next day is exactly the same.
>play the same games
Just play other games you fucklord.

Watch something new your retarded piece of shit.
>mfw you actually believe getting a job will improve your shitty life
>>26989887
>tfw your parents will eventually die and unless you're literally genetically inferior to me you won't get government handouts forever
It's fucking not. The job center fucked me in the ass and now I have to go to a "application training" from 8 to 5. I wish I was fucking kidding.
>>26989887
Not the anon you're replying to but, like I said here >>26989864
if you are to have self-worth or sense of meaning in your life, you need to work. You can lie to yourself and tell yourself you are enjoying doing nothing, but the things which you enjoy should be leisure, rewarded for work. You are not happy; no NEET is happy doing nothing, pissing their lives away with petty distractions and pretending there's nothing wrong with it.
>>26989864
I do agree with you. And I'm a student myself, probably leaving my parents' house this year. After being in a bit of a slump for a while. But I do kind of fear the working world. I have friends with jobs, and they just tell me about all these horrible people they work alongside.
I have mixed feelings about being a wageslave. I think I'd rather start my own business, but I don't really know what to do.
I want out, right now. I've been applying for jobs for 6months and haven't got an interview. It seems like it's next to impossible to get a job that isn't minimum wage if you don't know someone.
In an ideal world you can do what you want, but the reality is you don't.
Starts off as Chad, end up a fat smelly neckbeard surrounded by piss bottles, fapping at Facebook pictures of girls you would have rejected before neetdom took a grip.
>>26989953
Work is good, being a wage slave isn't.
>>26980618
I spent 2 years like that. Not woth it. Plus for me i wasted so much timedoing nothing or sad that i had wasted my day doing nothing instead of reading or video games
If you can afford to then yeah. NEET life is best life.

disillusioned/10
>no direction, escaping reality
>implying a 'normal' life gives you this
If anything, a 'normal' life is escaping reality. Filling your life with stupid nonsense just to escape the reality of your own existence. Obviously you chose to do nothing with your freedom as a NEET, a result of your lethargic, inattentive, apathetic character. You're just a careless youth that thinks that the world is meant to be enjoyed. This false notion has taken a strong toll on the robot community - the hypocrisy that characterizes the world from beginning to end. We are all born, as Schiller says, in Arcadia. In other words, we come into the world full of claims to happiness and pleasure. We'll all sooner or later find out its just a mirage. Life is suffering, NEET or otherwise, at least NEET life gives you the opportunity to chose freely, and better direct your life in to some subjective meaning; whether that be art or science.
I honestly believe everyone should be a NEET for at least one year. The shit i learned about myself with all the free time I had was amazing and I feel like I really grew as a person from that year. Yes i spent a lot of time playing game and watching anime, but it was just the sense of having all the time in the world. As stupid as it sounds I really got to know myself.
It's okay but being an introverted schizophrenic fuck with social anxiety leaves me with no real choice over my lifestyle.
I miss having money sometimes but then I remember the few jobs I had and I'm just glad knowing I will (hopefully) never deal with this shit again.
NEETs never get taken seriously so I will never be a NEET
my highschool years were depressing, and I used video games as an escape, which was artistically fulfilling
fresh out of highschool, I got a job (no plans to go to college), one that I genuinely like, and gives me plenty of exercise
my diet is healthy enough and I'm optimistic enough that I greatly enjoy my day-to-day life
but now that my life is so enjoyable that I don't ever feel like playing video games
so idk
Was a NEET for a year. Ended up wanting to end myself so I went to college.
I'm still a NEET on the inside because my routine changed to classes in the morning and NEETing in the evening. I still want to end myself.
>>26989887
I used to be a wagiecuckiecuckcuck, as well as a student, and life was better back then.
Of course I would come home tired, but I would go to bed knowing that I did SOMETHING.
and at work you have the chance to meet new people and make friends and even get laid, as a NEET you get to stare at the same 4 walls everyday and complain that 4chan sucks.
>Just play other games you fucklord.
O sure let me just spend 90$ of my imaginary money that I don't have to buy new games,
>Watch something new your retarded piece of shit.
Being a NEET involves retreating to one's "comfort" zone and avoiding all new experiences.
>>26986874
Not him but I play poker semi professionally and ever since I picked it up and realised I'm quite good at it life's been great.
I'm a neet and can easily afford to pay bills, upkeep my car, support myself etc.
I haven't been this happy in a long time.
It's awful. It's boring as fuck and unfufilling. Makes you go into a deep depression and makes you feel like you're wasting your life, because you are.
>>26987549
I'd agree with this, definitely. I'm very busy as a NEET, but I'm quite ambitious. Learning, working on the house, keeping in shape, it's all necessary so that you don't feel like you're wasting your time.
But, the willpower was necessary to become NEET in the first place. It took years of saving and learning as well as, dare I say it, wagecuckery. But it's all worth it, people. I can go back to work if I want, but now there's simply no pressure.
You do have to be ready for it in many ways.
There are two options, option A and option B.
Now pick your poison.
You chose A: NEET
>depression over that you're doing nothing in your life and going nowhere in life
You chose B: Wageslave
>depression over too much work and that you're going nowhere in life
>>26992820
>Learning
One of the Es in NEET stands for Education.
> working on the house
what kind of house do you live in that requires constant repairs?
>keeping in shape
Can't run away from the fact that you're wasting your time.
>>26980544
>Is the NEET lifestyle worth it?
No, the only ones who advocate it are those who haven't lived it for any significant period of time - or at all.
You have all the free time in the world to do anything you want, except you're always tired and don't want to do anything. Watching anime takes too much effort. Playing video games takes too much effort. You also have no money, so you can't do very much.
I was a reclusive NEET for almost 3 years and I'd never go back to it. It's an open prison.
>>26987549
True, but I dropped out of life due to muh social anxiety.
>>26992883
Well, learning skills: guitar, wood carving, etc. Nothing formal.
As for the house, I can tell you have never owned a home. There are always little projects that you can do. Put up some blinds, paint a room, etc.
And, there's literally no criticism for keeping in shape. Whoever you are, you need some physical activity.
Anyway, I enjoy it, so it's not a waste.
As a schizoid, the NEET life is ideal for me. I would have killed myself had I stayed longer in college, before dropping out. Loneliness is not an issue.
Don't become a NEET if you're a failed normie, or not autistic/schizoid.

Yeah I dunno anon, I'm legally deemed autistic, high functioning but I still have lots of the problems autistic people have, I struggle with would be simple tasks like buttering bread, etc.
Downsides excluded though, I actually can't complain that much, I don't get lonely, I don't want any friends, I don't want a relationship etc.
I'm simply content in solace, I actually enjoy it. I've tried making friends and socialising and I find that people just tend to irritate me and I end up wishing I was alone.

It's obvious that you're high on meth and/or cocaine and/or prescription drugs that weren't prescribed to you and are 'fixing' things that don't need fixing.
I know the feeling, I've lived with these people. Of course it doesn't have to be drug-related either plenty of people who have no self-worth after being laid off and can't get a job again always go around 'fixing' things and doing other nonsense like organizing the silverware by alphabetical order.

It is, for the mainstream worker-bees like you, that have no other purpose in life than having the feeling to "contribute to society".
It all depends on what you're doing with your days. You're probably going to end up with a shit sleep-wake cycle because you have no schedule. It's a slippery slope form there, because you'll probably start feeling shittier, and from what I've seen most of you eat like shit, which is going to make you feel worse, and that leads into depression and it's a vicious cycle from there because you'll lose all motivation to make any sort of change. As meme tier as it is, try and find an enriching hobby, something that leads to a sense of accomplishment. I don't lift, but it's a good option. Gives you a bit of structure, encourages healthier eating, sleeping, etc. Cooking is also fun, and almost anything you make yourself will be better for you than what you buy pre made. Painting, drawing, learning an instrument, anything like that. Just don't go balls deep and try to cut all your typical neet behaviors out of your life, that's a good way to make yourself quit. Most of the shit I suggested still leaves you with loads of free time for all of your favorite neet activities. While this could help you escape neet life if you feel trapped, that's not necessarily the goal. It's a way to cope with the negatives more than anything.

Been thinking of learning how to count cards and taking what little money I have to a casino and seeing if I can make a living doing that. Any tips or advice?

Be cautious with your bankroll, don't get what you can't afford, seems like common sense but you can really fuck yourself if you aren't weary.
Besides that, take statistics into account; "just how probable is it for me to win this pot with these cars on the table and the cards in my hand".
Generally you want to assume your opponent isn't bluffing and has a better hand than you or at least be prepared to lose if you're not confident.
Speaking of confidence, if you're not prepared to match someone's re-raise DO NOT raise pre flop as you will only be wasting money, especially out of position.
Biggest tip is not to tilt, just because you lose a big pot don't all in on the next hand, I've won plenty of tournaments (final table 9 handed) while being the short stack.
Good luck anon.

I've worked many job and honestly making money is a waste of time, if you don't need to. If I didn't suffer from anxiety I would literally be living like a king.
Depends on the person.
If you are depressive or prone to it, you will enjoy it, because you are not bound by social life, by whatever fuck that would make you mad or sad.

NEET life rules.
The only thing I'd like more if I wasn't haunted every night with memories of trying and failing to be a normie.
When you're a NEET there are no bad times to think back on and hate yourself for.

>mfw boss told me I have an attitude because i go up for breaks a minute early
I am essentially a neet but have a sort of business that keeps me afloat. Can't work due to health issues. Well I can work some jobs but it makes it a living hell and it's easier to lay in bed all day. Neet life was great before those issues started, I lived in a trap house with my friends and did shittons of drugs, now I live in the middle of nowhere and do nothing all day, if I didn't have an hour or two a day to devote to this business id go insane, smoking weed isn't even enjoyable anymore and that was basically what I did to get enjoyment of life. Have friends but they're all gradually moving away, I'm sure in a year or two they'll be gone. I think of just hoping a train and dipping all the time
Former NEET reporting in. I am 25 years old and between 18 and 21 i was a NEET. There was even a time that i didn't go outside for six months. Believe me all those anime and games feel like torture after some months because of the guilt. There were even days that i hadn't even said a single word and believe me it makes you go insane. I wasn't able to go on like that without losing my mind and i wanted to change my ways.(Btw Welcome to NHK and the last two episodes of NGE were huge inspirations). Around that time i started to study like a mad man and at 22 i enrolled in an electrical engineering department of a one of the top 5 universities in my country. Now i have a GPA of 3.54 and most of the social anxiety went away with all those people i have met there. I still watch anime and and play games sometimes, but when i think of those NEET days, it feels too distant and only thing that comes to my mind that how miserable i was at that time. Never again.
