I applied for a few jobs and I'm not qualified to stock shelves or putz around a movie theater, but I've gotten a call back for some grocery store. The thing is, I can't bring myself to answer the phone, I just start getting sick, I start crying, and panicking. I cried at the job interview I had years ago, and when I tried to get into school, I ended up crying and getting sick in the dean's office. I don't know what it is, I don't want to be some self-diagnosing jerk, but I think its some kind of anxiety issue that it's really keeping me from my goals. I feel like even if I did answer the phone, somehow got the job, I'd still blow it by breaking down in the middle of a supermarket.
Sorry it's so long to read. I just don't know what to do. I often consider suicide. Maybe I should try some freelance things online, just to get a small income? Did you or are you experiencing the same sort of anxiety? Did you cope, with or without drugs or therapy? How do you feel fulfilled?
Thanks for reading, all… I hope everyone's doing better than I am right now.
crippling anxiety?
Hi everyone, long time lurker here. I don't normally like to talk, not even online, so this is a first for me. I've been a NEET for going on ten years now. I make myself feel better by saying that I'm taking care of my parents(helped both lose weight, cook them healthy meals, keep the house clean, take care of animals, ect), but I can't help but shake the feeling that I'm a waste of space if I don't have an income of my own.I applied for a few jobs and I'm not qualified to stock shelves or putz around a movie theater, but I've gotten a call back for some grocery store.

Anyway the topic that's been on my mind is how to recover from being a NEET/hikikomori after years of living like this. This whole system seems so strongly geared against us with you needing references for even basic volunteering roles… It seems like if you don't already have friends/contacts/experience you're fucked.
Here's my video by the way:

How to recover from NEETdom?
Hi guys, I've posted a couple of my videos on hikikomoridom here before so hopefully you won't mind another one. I don't get many viewers so having some feedback from my fellow NEETs would be great.Anyway the topic that's been on my mind is how to recover from being a NEET/hikikomori after years of living like this.

If I'm successful financially, I think I might create a NEET house, as a safe space where NEETs can move out of their parents house, become a virtuoso of what they're passionate about, and/or be counseled on how to actually succeed at life. Eventually though, they will have to either use what they've learned to get a job and move out, or contribute to the household (I suspect it'd mostly be the later, since it's the safer option).
What do you think? Can someone learn to not be a leech on society in an environment like this, or would this inevitably reinforce their dependence on others? Would you be comfortable moving to such a place full of NEET strangers, even if shit hit the fan?

How can one live the NEET life? I just lost my job, I'm incredibly stressed, paranoid and depressed lately. I somehow do not qualify for unemployment because they won't count my last job (which would put me well over the 680 hour minimum hours you have to work to receive it). Since I lost my last job I've only been able to get a part time job as a security guard, I'm only working 7 hours on Mondays and 6 hours on Tuesdays. I have bills to pay and I haven't been paid yet (even though my first pay day was supposed to be last thursday). I'm a straight white male with no physical disabilities (maybe some mental, like my depression and anxiety, but from what I've heard, if you only have a couple mental disabilities like depression and anxiety, you might as well just not bother applying for SSI). I really don't want to move back in with my folks. I'm fucking 22 and it's pretty shameful to still be living with your folks at that age. Losing my last job has got to be the worst thing to happen to me thus far. There's not a day that goes by where I honestly don't want to kill myself ;_;

Any fellow NEETs that can't seem to appreciate nor take advantage of their situation?
I'm in my mid to late 20s and I've been living the NEET/shut-in/dweller lifestyle on and off since I was around 10 years old. This has caused me to miss many important developmental milestones, needless to say. I've never dated, never learned personal responsibilities such as driving and shopping for myself, never had a job that wasn't the result of nepotism , never socialized beyond grade school, never lived on my own and so forth. I believe there are many contributing factors to my current circumstances, such as childhood abuse (sexual, physical, verbal), emotional neglect and a host of mental and emotional issues including OCD, depression, social anxiety, ADHD (with assberger tendencies) and a particularly damning learning disorder (for good measure!).
Now, with the veiled resentment of family bearing down on me (I'm a 'burden'), the intrusive thoughts, maladaptive daydreaming, irrational fears and daily stress of knowing that with each passing hour my dreams and goals grow a little closer to the toilet, I can't seem to leverage my NEETdom to my advantage. I seem to be without any profitable natural gifts, let alone the emotional self-regulation required to study and acquire charlatan/guru skills, thus acquiring monies. If not used as a 'launching pad' from which to seek deliverance from my biggest internal obstacles, at least $$$ would serve to distract me from the misery of endless compulsive internet use and porn addiction…
All things considered, it would seem I'm forced to live as either a hobo/survivalist or grovel for the continued ('murican poverty level) financial assistance and housing provided by family.
Well, let's all whine about our similarly shitty situations and get a good hearty circle-jerk going! Or perhaps someone can offer me workable solutions to my problems and send me a Nigerian cash inheritance.

even though it was incredibly isolating and lonely I felt I was able to tap into some weird conscious state that is only possible when you haven't had "real" human contact for weeks or months.
i went home and got a dead end job, but i had a bad opiate addiction that I had been stoking for a long while.
eventually that caught up with me, and now I'm stuck being a neet again.
but it's not like im normal, I'm off the opiates but i can't find enjoyment without some sort of mind altering substance.
who else can't find enjoyment in life without a little help?
better living through chemistry they say, if only that were sustainable.

My next big tech purchase is going to be a capture card. I'm into streaming and video editing as a hobby and always wanted to be able to record stuff off consoles.
NEET Gear
NEET's and technology go hand in hand. Some NEETs stay trendy and keep up with the best of the best software.

Just realized today that in the past 5-6 years since i left school and moved towns, i'v met only one person and can count on my hands how many times i'v left the house..
Plus side, i can identify almost any anime put in front of me and i rule at MMORPG's or any game for that matter, is like second nature to me, picking up the rules and whatnot. (irl so embarrassed about this fact, online, proud af lol)
I guess what im eventually coming to ask is when someone who's personality is so doubt/fear based, knows no one, is majorly lacking confidence and has dug themselves into a mental health vortex or paradox to the point of no return… Is it possible for said person to find a way out.. Incorporate a "normal life" into their NEET habbits and if so, HOWWWWW? lol
Anyone wanting a chat about how incredibly confusing, amazing and difficult life is when your a 20 something yr old NEET trying to figure out how the hell your meant to live life and how other people have managed to do it and do it so well, then please don't be afraid to say "hi" like i would be, feel the fear and do it anyway :p

Not trying to be an ass, honestly, I just wanted to know how you manage to cover certain expenses.
I understand that most of the time other people foot the bill, how do you react when they aren't willing to do so?
More importantly, I'm under the assumption you've got no long term plan, aside from eventual suicide, how well do you cope knowing this?
Any and all information in regards to this topic is very much appreciated, thanks in advance!

Uh hello, this is my first time posting here.
I usually lurk different chans and boards, rarely do I post in them unless they caught my interest.
But the thread isn't about how am a newfag, it mostly has to do with the social problem I am facing and yesterday it kinda hit me that I am probably spiraling more out of synch lately since I am doing things I don't usually do.
to start off I was a social outcast since the beginning of elementary school which I assume most of /n/ were, back then in elementary I would get bullied and more often than not tricked and ridiculed by my peers, and most of the staff brushed me off as being a liar since most of the kids in my class (at least 2/3rds of them) would say I was lying.
I assume this was the beginning of the end since this stunted my ability to trust other people and open up to them.
The bullying carried on until the end of middle school, of course the damaged was already done i became an apathetic empty person and spent most of my time staying home and skipping classes in high school to drink and do drugs, this was basically the start of my neet-ness.
for 4 years since my freshman year to "senior" year(basically had freshman credits after 4 years of doing nothing) all I did was drink, drugs, videogames, Music, and Movies.
and I had my self to blame, I let my fears control me and influence me that If I went to highschool I would probably get bullied again and that would have been the breaking point honestly, I would have either done harm to myself or to others if that were to ever happen so i shut myself in my mothers apartment and kept to myself. (I would only go outside to either get food or do "business" which I won't specify for the well being of myself and others)
but recently I decided I wanted to change my life around and applied for GED classes, that was around 5-6 months ago I can't remember but that isn't the issue, it's mostly my state of mind currently I almost started to cry in the middle of class and I have been lately feeling a hard pressure near my chest (I would say this the feeling I get when I get emotionally rocky) and I also just feel like giving up and just sit down and take a some time to contemplate some things or just rest,
I don't know if it's the fact that am in an environment that I tried my hardest to stay away from (school) or because this is the end of the road for me.
Of course I felt like this many times since elementary but never as hard hitting as now.
I really don't know what to do and I feel pretty lost at this moment.
Uh hello, this is my first time posting here.
I usually lurk different chans and boards, rarely do I post in them unless they caught my interest.
But the thread isn't about how am a newfag, it mostly has to do with the social problem I am facing and yesterday it kinda hit me that I am probably spiraling more out of synch lately since I am doing things I don't usually do.

Does anyone else wish they were a virgin again?
I'm 26 and I was a virgin until around 22 (I've already forgotten the exact time), I was so desperate to lose it and not be an outcast that I met with a girl from the Internet and threw it away. I didn't love her and she didn't care about me at all, she left, blocked me on everything and got married to someone else last time I heard.
I feel so worthless and hollowed out. If I hadn't been so fucking idiotic I'd at least have my innocence. Now I'm less than nothing.

I just feel guilty, being such a burden. It wouldn't matter how much those that care of me would be willing to accept it. I really haven't changed since last year, and I'm starting to feel really bad about it.
How do you work through it, fellow NEETs? What do you tell yourself is the reason that you should continue breathing the next day?
I'm not considering suicide, this is simply the most relatable image of Tomoko I found, but I'm definitely not feeling great.

I tend to wear the same clothes for days on end. Even if I shower I'll just slip back into the same t-shirt and jeans. Don't really know why but it sure feels comfortable.
Gross stuff?
What are some things you do (or don't do) as a NEET that others would consider gross/disgusting? Whether it's not showering or brushing your teeth or booze-fueled vomit sessions or even something like obsessing over people through social media.

I'm 26 and I've basically been NEET since I was ~17 and dropped out of school, is it worth bothering going to college at this point? I feel like the stigma against someone starting school so late makes it a waste of time no matter what my achievements there might end up being.
I suppose it's probably a stupid idea to ask about this here of all places though, but any thoughts would be appreciated.

I've had Crohn's disease for about a decade but only recently has it advanced to the point where I can't do much at all with myself physically. I'm very sick and live at home, I've run the course with every available medication and can't effectively treat the disease with much else beyond surgery - I lost count after my tenth surgery or so last year. Over the past two years, I've become a full blown NEET. The most time I've spent outside of my bedroom has been in the hospital, where I spent the majority of last year, and even then I felt very alone.
Even if you just have to vent about it, it'd be interesting to see if anyone has had this situation thrust upon them for similar reasons.

I've been a full-time NEET and something of a shut-in for about 5 years and counting. Despite ticking a lot of boxes for a social outcast (passive, solitary, introverted, anxious, practically live on and have all my meaningful human interactions on my pc), I'm not shy or lacking in social tact, and while going to college I had plenty of day-to-day 'normal' friends I enjoyed the company of, went to parties with etc.
Something that's come up once or twice IRL, and a lot online, is how my lack of shyness seems to push away people that seem the most relatable to me. The fact that I'm not socially avoidant seems to get me pigeonholed as just another insensitive, ignorant normie or something along those lines, often by people that seem to share and understand my interests, personal situation or characteristics the most.
Why does this upset me so much? It gets to the point where I start feeling some vague resentment or rejection toward the friends I do have, and intense feelings of loneliness. My friends accept me, do their best and wish me the best, but they don't understand my crippling depression and anxiety, my inability to integrate into society, the intense amount of energy I feel I exert just to get out of bed or feed myself. Every now and then I meet someone that seems to be in the same situation as I am, but every time in the same fashion they seem to just be scared off, and something as simple as a stranger I never talk to silently deleting me from a chat client can throw me into a really dark place when it's been someone I've wished I could find a way of talking to for months or even years.
Do I need to register for some official NEET shut-in badge with a list of my problems printed on it to wave in people's faces before they get the wrong idea? It's really confusing and worrying how a small handful of individuals dismissing me can make me feel so lonely when I have good, caring friends I could talk to any time. What's wrong with me?
TL;DR I am a typical dysfunctional NEET shut-in, but when I meet someone I feel I can relate to they seem to get instantly pushed away by the fact that I have arbitrary social skills and desire to make friends. The people I can make friends with don't relate with my situation at all. How do I deal with it?

Why is it so hard for a lot of people to simply live for themselves? Why do people so quickly grow bored of themselves and living for themselves and begin to exist with some sort of ideal in mind that when you come down to it is just words? Or people whom their ties to are tenuous? Or goals which amount to empty words on a blackboard marked "future," something that doesn't even exist in the present?
Even being aware that the only lasting peace in life would come as a result of being able to live in comfort with myself and only truly for my own sake, and knowing how ultimately silly it is in a lot of ways to live otherwise rather than just having those things as secondary focuses, I can't. And I'm pretty sure a lot of other people are the same way, that that's a lot of what makes being NEET in the longterm rather shitty. Because you grow bored of yourself and living for yourself, because even as you do you best to enjoy it it becomes stagnation.
Personally I think the root of it is simply that we're a cooperative species and if we were able to live simply for ourselves we wouldn't have gotten nearly this far, that to an extent it's hardwired and ideals and altruism and all those great things are manifestations of that fact. Maybe I'm wrong though.

I guess what I'm saying is, why don't we hold some kind of event where we can all try to talk to eachother and become a bit less alone (at least on the internet)?
I'm thinking either minecraft, or tinychat; something like that, that could bring us all together. Especially considering there are like maybe 8 people that use this imageboard altogether.

Hi all. Lately I've been suffering from depression.
jobless, halfway thru college not currently enrolled, NEET verification complete:
I smoke weed daily (roughly on average a little over close to 7-10 grams a week depending on who might be offended.
first time lurker/poster here, hoping to get some guidance as I've been to these points in my life many a few times, and its never easy to get back alone, especially when even if you may be surrounded by people in flesh, you're alone with your person, the self, in mind.
Lately i've been relatively uncertain about what my purpose is, though I do have goals, I find the methods of reaching them to be a viper against my being, a poison against my soul.
The systematic approach of forcing people into a slave-forced labor type society where inadequacy and unfairness are shrouded by a paycheck and fancy words.
Ufortunately, though I may conjure relatively enticing words, they do no justice to console me - as I am weak. I use pot to escape reality, to hide in my maladaptive daydreams - which I use a method of brainstorming my writing and developing my potential stories for future games and projects.
Anyway, without that pot - that crutch - I'm a shell. Well, in this case, think of a turtle, without the shell. I'm the turtle.
My parents are sending me to rehab and psychologists and whatever, but honestly I really don't think that medicine is going to alter my views. I'm dissatisfied with the structure of our society and the lives we live - im disgusted with existing under the rules we are CONFINED in. Getting some pills to remind me its ok wont change that, even if pot can help forget, its only temporary.
As you can see, im sure you can guess how the cycle reappears.
I get successful, get a nice job, meet new people - I can pinpoint my 'weakness' origin to weed. My last downward spiral was ultimately because i couldn't go to work for consecutive days because i was stoned beyond function.
I have an addiction. I've tried to tell friends, people who were very knowledgable with marijuana - whatever - every single person either said they never experienced what I did, or that I just needed to cool it on the bud or try something like exercising and 'quitting cold turkey'.
Idk about you guys, but I kind of have an addictive/passionate personality. If im into something, ill get into it. Hard. Unfortunately I'm not really sure how to break this cycle, and i'm at a loss of who to turn to.
You may call me what you like, I've lied and cheated my way through enough of my life to see none deserved to me. A friend suggested this place to me, an unnamed friend, so I open the stage to you /n/ - thank you for reading, and I hope to hear from you soon.

I really liked the old board its a shame it went down, i will miss it certainly.
Well il share my impression of this board.
I read 10 of this board and lots of topics of personal interest, it seems quite extensive, but all in all it didnt seem to be very deep or fairly interesting to me.
This board doesnt have such a good vibe as i had on the old textboard and im not fond of the idea of imageboards since i left 4chan, but i wont judge it because of that.
Im not so sure if il be staying here, but i could use a place with other neets that share my way of life, atleast in most aspects.

Gender Dysphoria and NEETS
greetings /n/, i am a 22 year old mtf with no hope of transition and am pretty much a NEET who despises themselves for their uselessness, failures, and body. and am wondering how many trransgendered NEETS are there? since for me the unbearable dysphoria cotributes greatly to myfear and hatred of being out in social situations and my inability to handle coursework or work in general. With the ammount of internal pain ad distress this terrible dysphoria can bring surely i am not alone in this situation?

I spent the most important years of my life on godforsaken imageboards and developed no marketable skills whatsoever. I'm closer to 30 than 20. I couldn't talk to anyone normally any more even if I wanted to because the isolation has destroyed my social skills. I'm completely unemployable, pretty much incapable of doing anything productive whatsoever and my parents will die one day.
I can't escape the looping negative thoughts and regrets now. It makes me almost nauseous. My predicament is the culmination of every shitty, lazy, avoidant decision I have ever made and there is no escape.

Even throughout this I thought that I was alright; "I am still good looking and have a charming personality". This was the one thing that kept me going, but eventually after it was too late I had come to realize that I'd developed major trust issues. I withdrew from all of my relationships and I am scared to develop new ones. On-top of this I got major acne problems and lost all of my self-confidence. I started to look at myself differently, I thought that I was a pretty boy but now I just seem ugly. I am so disgusted by who I am now, and what I look like. When I look at my face I see all these flaws that I have never seen before. Sometimes I think I am just being overly harsh, but I think maybe I'm just in denial. I don't know what to do with myself anymore. I have no passions, I envy those who do. Looking back I don't think I have ever been passionate about a single thing, besides video games/anime/looking good. When I look at myself I want to get plastic surgery or something, but I have no money and no job. I want to erase myself and start fresh but I know that's not possible. I just want to be happy again.
Sorry for the wall of text. I feel like garbage and just wanted to tell my story. Thanks for your time.
disgusted by myself
I grew up the happiest child, I was always smiling and I loved life. Throughout my early school life I was always popular. I was funny: people would gather around me and I was friends with every single person I came across. I always knew that my parent's relationship was not the best, but at some point in time they just finally couldn't tolerate each other anymore, and I sat there for hours in our small 2 bed room apartment with nowhere to hide, listening to them yell at each-other at max volume for hours at a time. This was every single day; they would not give me a reason when I asked why they would not get a divorce. A lot of the yelling and abuse spilled over and my mother would take her frustration/rage out on me.Even throughout this I thought that I was alright; "I am still good looking and have a charming personality".

For films, I can offer Ima, Boku Wa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slK7bNHIvZY
And for books I can offer Oblomov, No Longer Human, and Notes from Underground.
The characters don't necessarily have to be NEET in the true definition of the word, but if that's the case there should be NEET-centric themes, like isolation, depression, anxiety, and other such negative things.
Since NEEThood isn't all bad, media portraying happy NEETs is welcome too.

I hate posting something like this here though when I'm not officially a NEET and don't have plans to become one… unless circumstances are a bitch and it happens anyway.
Feel free to remove this post if it seems out of place or unnecessary or whatever…
But I really have no where else to turn or anyone else to speak to personally about my issues so I go to random people on the internet who probably have better things to do!
Anyways, I'm going to be moving soon from the US to Canada and I'm really nervous about it. I there's not a great cultural shock difference between the two countries (and free health care is very nice) but I have never lived independently before in my life. I just recently graduated high school and am attempting to recover from years of mental abuse I've received from my mom.
Point is I feel very worried and I feel as though nothing will turn out right - I'm scared of leaving my mom even though she's been downright horrible to me during all my years of living. She's pretty much just been an existence that I only rely on for food since she only really cares to buy things for herself.
I've never had a job before and my social skills are shit. I'm so nervous and I find myself preferring "comfortable abuse" over "necessary change."
I feel like I'll never get a job or accomplish anything. I don't care if the job is in retail or if it barely pays - I just want a small taste of independence but at the same time I'm terrified of it!
I wish I didn't exist right now… I'm anxious about the future and I wish there was a third way out.
Sorry for rambling over worthless issues.

Something similar to MBTI, though in my experience Enneagram is more complex and deals a lot with the ugly parts of a personality. Of course as most things like this, Enneagram is difficult to validate scientifically, but it still is quite accurate in most cases and can be used as a method for self-understanding and self-development.

Mine is knowing that I am going to be chained to the system of making money unless I wish to become homeless. I'll be forced to work. And that there is no coming back from it. Once I've decided to leave this cave, this is for life. Can you imagine an ex-NEET asking to move back in with the ones who enabled them the luxury, and continue doing what they did before for another few years? Anyway, this fear is pretty major. It robs someone of precious time, just because someone at the top decided to be a jerk and take everything for themselves. It's a cruel joke. I sincerely cannot see myself getting over it.
That being said, I often daydream of myself being born and raised in a tribe. In that scenario, I would not have a problem with doing work because it would make sense. Gathering food, making materials for everyone else, being in an intimate community that actually cares for each other, etc.

I'm not a NEET yet, but I'm gonna be one in a few months when the government stops paying for my shit in uni. I'll most likely either drop out and commit suicide a few months in due to poverty, or go in debt and kill the self when I become unable to pay it off after I graduate.

I told my mom i have bad anxiety about 4 months ago (I havent told her about the delusions and paranoia or frequency) I keep asking her to take me to a psychologist because 3 months ago she called to see if insurance would cover the cost (they cover it all) yet I still havent gone. My parents want me to get a summer job yet I have done that before and I am not in a place for that level of responisbility and work I would have breakdowns all the time. I just want to recieve Neetbux when im an adult and have them never know so they wont be so dissapointed.

i have driving license, but i avoid driving, since it's too stressful.
i'm about to just ship myself off to some offshore fishery process ship for X amount of months, because i'm going to run out of money soon.
can anyone help me find a job? i have experience with integrated avionics/flight controls for bombers in the military, but that's literally it, nothing else. i didn't even enjoy that stuff though.
i'm thinking a janitor job would be good for a small building or office?

I'm here because I don't know what I should do anymore. I have been a neet for around a year now and I can't say I am enjoying it nor dislisking it because of how I was kind of enjoying doing what is fun to me aka video games and watching animes mainly but seems like endless circle since I keep moving from a thing to another to kill boredom. On the other side, often when I go sleep now I feel like I am pitiful being a burden to my parents since I still live there even if there's a lot of pressure. I am almost 21 now and could probably not be able to live alone.
Background: started middle of high school when I switched school and slowly got more and more shy and introverted. School skipping started and even though I was skipping a lot I was able to maintain above average grades and get done with high school but then pre-university/post-high school came by and started failling classes because of skipping/lack of interest since I was always alone and kinda lost about where I was going.
Friend wise, after mid high school when I moved and lost contact with my friends from back then I didn't make any friends, I wasn't shy to the point of not being able to hold a conversation but I would never go forward to people nor bring anyone higher than people I know level. I also always had the feeling that I am the only one alone and everyone is in groups and that always scared me from trying to make friend with anyone. I do make friends online from a game to another but even though I have a lot of fun with them with game related things, I never thought those as friends but only gaming buddies for a specific game and once I find a better game I just move on to other people.
Now, like I said, I don't feel like I am living a fulfilled life because I do not have someone dear to me and also because of the burden I am to others. I am a smart guy who could probably just go back to studies whenever to aim for a job I could enjoy a little while not having to worry about money. However, I don't feel like having motivation to do anything as it is now. I see people around me who aim for great goals and had family expecting me to be the "successful kid" but I am underachieving and I don't know what to expect from anything… Almost like I am waiting for the enlightment which isn't happening. Looking at my daily activites, I feel like I fell pretty low since I go sleep very late around 3 am, waking up around 12 pm and then proceed to do anything that can distract me until bed time. I shower like 2 times a week at best atm and besides eating whatever snacks I can until the one family supper happens. I don't even bother putting clothes on, I just use my dressing gown or my sheets.
I seek any advice, similar past experience, discussion or anything that could help me figure out where I should go.
Sorry for long post and thanks if you took time to read/answer.

Most of the time I just make up some stuff on the spot but I can't help but feel like a lesser being whenever asked that question. There is also that other type of judgement, the one where they don't bring it up but you know what they're thinking.
I can't help but feel like a disappointment to everyone. It's not just relatives who do it either, I've had doctors try to make small talk about that topic and it bothers me immensely.
Worst of all I have tried to get myself out of NEETdom but I either fail or don't have enough money to try.

whenever I talk to women on dating sites like okcupid or tinder, I try to look for intelligence. being a NEET I'm a scholar of everything, the internet and information being my lifeline so I'm very well versed in many subjects. unfortunately normal women who leave the house are incredibly susceptible to being caught in cliques and narrow minded thinking. so any kind of disagreement with a mainstream pop culture ideas gets instantly shut down with a "access to holes denied" cancellation of communication. I can do the whole thing where i can act like a dumbshit so they'll treat me as an equal. but if I wanted that I'd get a cat. so nothing of value lost. it's not like a stupid person denying access to holes is some kind of punishment when I could have a perfect waifu.
so in my failure to find a woman who isnt a complete emotional wreck, i've decided to go full NEET.
any advice on where to find NEET girls who arn't completely broken apart from the NEETness would be nice. something more like the quiet japanese men in hiki docos but without the man part I guess.

NEETs and non-NEETs alike, please share with us your experiences with drugs.
This weekend, I did another 300mg of DXM HBr after several months of sobriety. I originally intended to take 600mg, as that would push me up to the third plateau, but I decided against it for the time being. It was roughly as intense as my first trip, and lasted about as long. Here's the trip log, although it's a little sparse: http://pastebin.com/57PjeVBG
This trip was different from the others; I didn't have nearly as many visions as before, nor did I have as many notably mind-warping experiences. I suspect this is because I was with two other people this time, and thus I opted to try and be as social as I could manage with them rather than isolating myself and floating amongst the hallucinations.
One thing that I found interesting was how I couldn't fall asleep despite the time of night (9:30 PM - 5:20 AM) and despite the intense feeling of sleepiness caused by the drug. Additionally, I confirmed that DXM makes my pupils dilate, although that wasn't terribly surprising.
I had a hangover again this time, but I seemed to expedite its passing by drinking lots of water, going on a slow-paced bike ride and exercising my balance (i.e. standing on one foot and sticking my other leg out), writing a short journal entry, and spending the rest of the day doing nothing mentally taxing.
The goal in doing all of that was to try and flush out the last bits of DXM in my system, to stimulate the parts of my brain that the DXM hit the hardest (muscle coordination, balance, and language processing), and to let my mind cool off after being pushed so hard. I don't know how much that helped to accelerate the passing of the hangover, but I'm feeling great today, so I suppose it didn't hurt.

What's up with Japan wanting NEETism to become mainstream? I know there have always been NEETs in anime and such, but there's been a lot of emphasis put on it lately. Next thing you know gullible 12 year olds will aspire to become NEET otaku too. Is Japan encouraging this? Is this a marketing technique to lure in teens to the anime otaku lifestyle in order to gain sales?

Where do you live and how much do you pay to live there? If you pay at all, I mean.
I'm currently not paying anything to stay where I'm at but I want to leave as soon as I can since they aren't very good living conditions. I know an apartment you can stay at for free depending on your income (since I lived there with my mom when i was 9-13 years old) but it has a very long waiting list.
TL;DR what I'm asking is, how much do you pay for rent/renty-like things? If you don't pay, is there a reason you don't? I'm also interested in knowing how NEETs get money for rent for obvious reasons.
Sorry if this is an unwelcome topic.

2)Become a NEET and repent of this while thinking I don't even have a high school certificate, condemned to live like we already know etc.
Any suggestions?

Anyone here actually happy being NEET and doing the complete opposite of being a "productive member of society"?
After I finished study I pretty much went full hiki for a while and life was good, although I didn't appreciate exactly how good it was compared to work.
Eventually my Parents forced me to find part time work (retail) which I hated and was borderline depressed working 40 hour weeks. After a year I quit and told my parents the contract expired and I honestly feel like I'm in heaven at the moment with no more work/responsibilities.
Just making the most of my NEET time at the moment, not sure how much longer it can last

Hi Neets. I just found this website whilst browsing the internet in my empty day to day life.
I just thought I'd share my experience of being a neet, well since I have nothing better to do.
I am a twin, my twin has a degree, is working on their master's degree and also works 2 jobs, one as a legal aid and another at a barrister's chambers.
I on the other hand dropped out of university, and I have been getting fat and wasting my days for the last 6 months.
When I look back at my life so far, I realise I was destined to be a neet due to my laziness with regards to exams (no pressure no attempts made) and my unwillingness to work.
As a result I find myself where I am now, sitting at home for half a year (some what a hikkikomori as you would say..) playing games, watching documentaries and general procrastination until it's time for my 12 hour sleep.
It never used to be like this, I had a girl friend, I did over 3000 press ups a week, boxed 3 nights a week and ran 3 miles every morning apart from sunday. I was social with close friends and I had several girls who I could meet up with on my phone.
I have but one friend now who I see around once a fort night, my twin is always busy with work and study and my parents are out of the country in employment (I live at their house although I contribute some rent…)
Once in a while I tell myself it's time to stop beating myself up and do something, but the feeling disappates as soon as I reach my desk. Today I will try to make a change, but as you can see I am here, a site I have never been on and I'm writing this letting my coffee get cold.
Do not let yourself drift onto a path similar to mine, fulfill your potential and do something. It's hard, a term we all use to justify our position but we know deep down that isn't the truth. The truth is that we're lazy, but human's can overcome anything. You have to believe you can.
I will come back tonight, it's currently 11:16am (GMT). I hope to return tonight with news of my getting on with life, but I realise that hope is not an option, and I must try.
All the best to you all.

Has anyone else experienced a loss in cognitive ability after being a shut in for extended periods of time (~1 year+?)
I've been playing video games, listening to instrumental music, and lounging in my room for the past few months and I've noticed that when I do go out and communicate with other people, I tend to misunderstand even the most basic information that's relayed to me. Not only that,whenever someone implies something indirectly to me, I'll miss the implied information and feel like a dunce afterwards, which can only be alleviated by further isolating myself. I feel like an old man with alzheimers and i'm not even in my 20s yet…at this rate I may as well condemn myself to a reclusive life, get some pets, and avoid face to face/verbal communication with others altogether.

So no pills for me.

I also escaped from a nightmarish overnight schedule stocking shelves - by, strangely enough, making enough monthly writing fetish fiction. Still - a more fulfilling job than stocking shelves.
I've even battled my social anxiety (that caused me to initially drop out in the first place) to the point where I can actually bring myself to somewhat social events without needing a friend for comfort. I guess that's the best thing I can thank wal mart for.
Anyway… despite all this, I feel more disconnected than ever before.
I never really noticed before, but now that I'm 23, I realize that… well, nobody actually cares. Everyone is so wrapped up in their own existences that I'm not even a blip on their personal radars unless I force myself into their lives - and that's the thing, I don't want to.
My best friend and I had a falling out early this year, and despite some efforts on my part, he didn't want to take any time at all to repair what we had. After enough time apart, I realized I didn't even truly know him. He never opened up.
Another friend and I started hanging out all the time. She would even go so far as to get out of work early just to grab coffee with me. Then suddenly, as soon as she got a somewhat higher tier job (teacher) she can't find the time of day to hang out more than twice over the span of literal 7 months - despite constantly filling her schedule with other activities with other people.
She claims it isn't me. I'm not sure if she's a liar, or somehow deluded herself in bout of cognitive dissonance to retain her self righteousness.
And then it hit me. I simultaneously know everything and nothing about everyone around me.
I don't know when it happened, or how, but I can almost immediately discern an entire person's emotional profile with just a few cues.
Then I realized the sheer disparity of disconnect. Everything started to click. The dualities and hypocrisies of the human condition. How we're so insignificant, yet simultaneously infinitely important in the vast unfathomably large existence we are apart of.
And goddamn. I'm so lonely. It's been literal years since I've been with a woman. A little under 4 to be precise. November of 2010 was when my second (and last) relationship ended.
I guess I'm not a kissless virgin, but, fuck, I may as well be at this point since it's been so long.
I'm not even sure if I'm attractive. Been told by fair number of girls I am. Been told by guys I'm ugly. Can't even judge myself. Sometimes I look great in mirror, and can't believe I'm not a model. Sometimes I'm so ugly I literally can't bare to look at myself.
So cold. I keep telling myself I'm going to get /fit/ and get /fa/ but goddammit I know that's not going to happen. Still too socially anxious to go to a gym.
Even so, don't know how I could realistically date someone while living at home. don't know how i can date someone without being too clingy.
I have such beautiful hair. When it's all washed and brushed, could be a dark-haired young reinhard. But even that is receding it seems.
Everything grows and decays. Spirals.
And goddamn nobody is going to read this or care - yet I so desperately want you to. Anyone. I need attention. An insecure attention whore i am.
Please, anyone, I don't think I can save myself. I'm drowning here.

Hello fellow /n/erds, I'm in college right now and because of my program of study, I have to start attending classes on campus instead of taking them online. Taking online classes is going pretty well. Having to go to campus 3 times a week won't work, though. Not because I don't have the transportation, but because I'll just skip class due to both laziness and anxiety.
I've come to accept this about myself. Unfortunately, I can't just "quit" college until I find a solution; I have student loans to pay when I'm finished with my degree (not that much so far, only ~2k) and you only have a six month grace period until you need to repay. Having said that, I'm at a loss right now. Does anybody have any ideas? I'm from the United States if that helps.
Honestly I just want to go NEET again (I was a NEET for 5 years before going back to school) until I figure something out but I have no way of paying back what I owe to the government. Aghgf ;_;

In the space of about 5 days I was constantly complimented on how awesome I am, how great my music taste is, I was invited out for coffee and drinks by men AND women on a daily basis, I got into very long, interesting conversations about all sorts of subjects, I was told multiple times that I have the most interesting profile on the site. I felt happy… I felt like I was finally a proper person.
Now I'm not transgendered. So I'll have to accept this is just how life works. But it's amazing to me that the only thing standing between me having a rich, full social life and being a complete basement dweller is being born male. That's seriously all there is. None of those people would have cared about me if I was honest about my gender. None of them.

In Japan, the classification comprises people aged between 15 and 34 who are unemployed, not engaged in housework, not enrolled in school or work-related training, and not seeking work.

What if there was some kind of neet colony where we could live and "work" almost outside from the world.
Here is my kind of image for this sort of thing.
Suppose like a large farm of sorts , somewhere desolate and quiet where we would grow plants and everyone would have to do some amount of chores from a list of things to be done to keep things running.
Profit would be distributed minus some common fee to pay for all the stuff.
Now i think there would be wifi and maybe a central storage for sharing multimedial stuff so not everyone would end up torrenting the same shit and also to organize stuff.
Everyone would get a small room with bed since i suppose space would be an issue there, but i think people would be content with that.
Maybe even a few double rooms for people who dont mind a room mate.
I guess sanitary and eating space would shared to spare some room too.
Someone would take the role of having to deal with the outside world like buying and selling stuff, but otherwise nearly anything would happen on the inside.
I guess there isnt much else to be considered.
Could you imagine living in such a way?
Neet colony?
Imaging now just hypothetically, just for like imagination.What if there was some kind of neet colony where we could live and "work" almost outside from the world.
Here is my kind of image for this sort of thing.
Suppose like a large farm of sorts , somewhere desolate and quiet where we would grow plants and everyone would have to do some amount of chores from a list of things to be done to keep things running.
Profit would be distributed minus some common fee to pay for all the stuff.

I firmly believe that the United States will break up into pieces into at least 3 or 4 countries. I just don't know what to do. Its all about every man woman and child for themselves. Its all about shifting the burden. Shifting the cost of existing to someone else. I hate this shifting the burden to survive bulkshit. I'm 26. No degree 82 credits. No money. No nothing. What am I supposed to do? Work some piece of shit minimum wage job so some multi millionaire/billionaire can make even more billions and millions all while shifting the burden onto my back? Fuck that garbage. I hate this fucking world bullshit competition popularity contest hr bullshit every man for himself garbage. No one cares. Everyone dies. Nothing will be done by anyone one. So lets all get bullshit min wage jobs that don't even pay enough to fucking live while some rich person that doesn't even know you gets richer. I hate capitalism communism and socialism. Why? Because they all end the same exact way. A few rich psychopath control freaks controlling everything with all the money and guns and everyone else fucking off until they die. Fuck this world.

So what are your plans for the future?

It's working out pretty well so far, but I know it's not sustainable.

I think I want to finally get a job. I've been NEET and almost a complete shut-in for several years now. I never had a job before. Going outside into the world and interacting with strangers basically terrifies me, I haven't done it for so long. The responsibility of a job, even if it's something really simple, scares me.
I don't know what job to get, not that there is many I could get (I have my GED though). I could be a cashier or stock shelves at a local store, or work in fast food. I would probably hate it. A restaurant doesn't sound that bad, but the pressure of interacting with all my co-workers, taking orders for the customers, and carrying around plates of food I'll probably drop, I don't know how that will go.
I'm so used to sitting here inside my house, I can't handle things very well. If I have a panic attack on the job I'll probably get fired. Being in the outside world with all those strangers all at once is going to fuck me up. Simply talking to a stranger by myself about anything is enough to have adrenaline flowing through my body to the point where my heart is racing, I'm sweating, and I'm talking too fast and erratic. If I ever went into a job interview like that they would wonder what is wrong with me, they would think I'm on drugs. That's a physical reaction I can't even help, it's adrenaline, there's nothing I could even mentally do to stop that from happening, and it would happen. Of course it wouldn't happen much if I got used to it over the course of time, I don't how you expect me to initially get over it.
I don't know if I'll be able to do this. I wish I could get a job where there was cute co-workers like hataraku maou-sama. Anyone else know this chair?

Why does it feel like everyone here is depressed? Not everyone on this board can have a depression disorder, can they? I'm not a neet because I feel like I can't do anything. I'm a neet because I don't want to do anything anymore. From here on it's just a simple machine life of making money off of your knowledge. I don't wanna do that, I want to learn more. Which is why I sit at home, learning things through not-so-personal social interaction.
I'm 26 and have never had a job in my life.

God isn't real. I've convinced myself of that. I don't want to go into details because I'd be going on forever but I'm in the most hopeless situation one could think of.
There's no light at the end of the tunnel. My only options are to wait for death or to hope for a miracle that will most likely never happen. I won't even have internet to pass the time.
I've never done anything considerably wrong, I had a rather passive life. My family members often commented on how kind I was and scolded me for how I always put others before myself.
So tell me, /n/. Why do bad things happen to good people? Why does it always seem the bad people get all the good things and the good people are left to the dirt?

Today I've learned that I'm going to be unemployed (all part-time workers at my job are getting laid off as a result of a boycott) past Saturday.
As much as I like having a job so I can pay for my apartment and never have to leave aside from work, I only have entry-level retail experience. Finding another job is going to be a ridiculous ordeal that will likely last longer than it'll take to find a new job. With no savings, things aren't looking very good.
Odds are, I'm going to have to lean on the government and desperately search for work, ultimately putting off my goal of getting back to college and getting a degree that I can put towards an actual career.
I've been on this path before, and it lead to spending two+ years living out of a friend's house, doing nothing with my life. Anyone else been in a similar position? I'm hoping I can do some freelance work to supplement whatever government benefits/unemployment I qualify for and hope I don't have to leave my house anymore, aside from my plans for the future.

The people I live with as a NEET, while providing me with basic life necessities, are suffocating me. My imagination, usually vibrant and without limits, dies out around them and I become jaded, just like them. It's not their fault, that's just the way they are and I can't do much about that. My room used to be bound by dark curtains so that I was able to immerse and distract myself from their presence, but this is not the case anymore. Now I'm stuck having to acknowledge that they are on the other side of the door.
I could somehow use this longing to live alone in a place far away to get a job, but then I would be locked into a lifelong contract of misery, going by the assumption that they wouldn't let me come back to live with them for nothing once they've seen that I am "capable" of holding down a job. And I doubt I'd want to, anyway, at that point. It seems like either way is a dead end.
/n/, can you tell me about the people you live(d) with during your days as a NEET and how you felt being around them? Do you prefer solitude or company?

This is a picture of a company where the people who work there are by many considered being succesfull. The slogan reveals the idea many people have that if you work hard and do something specitic better than others, you too might be able to work in a place where such expectional people work and be called succesfull as well.
I assume that being part of society requires one to compete with others in various aspects in prospect of various rewards, such as social validation, income and sex, in the hope that in the end will aid one to become happier or as happy as others. Some decided or found out that they aren't fit to be part of and compete in society. Is it possible while being a social creature to become happy and/or as happy as people who are part of society and compete in it?
I am afraid most of us cannot as most of us are not built in such a way. Fighting against our nature is a battle we will lose in the end.
However, not everyone has as much chance in life to become as happy as others can become.
Many cannot quit the ratrace, but at the same never have a fair chance at competing.

Perhaps looking at things from the outside is the only way to see things as they really are.

Most of my conclusions are overanalysed based on outside observations from TV and internet and occasionally from watching people.
I do this in hope that i may gain some order and clarity of my inner chaotic constant in pieces laying thoughts.
Chances are im totally insane and deluded and everything i think might be false, but this is my only chance to ever make any kind of sense of things as they may be.
I will put it available for free on the net because i think it might be of help for others too and some of the things i have to say are probably important.
Since i am a lazy and chaotic person i will write down only the index of chapters and go outside
will induce myself for every chapter and go to a nice quite place with a bottle of alcohol to loosen myself up and start recording my freeflowing thoughts on these subjects.
Il post a list of keywords once i clean it up.
I will use it then later to build up my chapters.

ALCHEMY GENERAL
Hello, /n/. My name is Anonymous, and I am both NEET and a hikikomori. My life has hit an all time low as my parents have scheduled for me to see a conclave of doctors to diagnose and presumably drug me, but that's not the real problem. The problem is they're giving me an allowance too. This humiliating turn of events has convinced me as to the necessity of my immediate doom, therefore, I must create an elixir thereof. I live near a forest full of common herbs and whatnot, and have a decent grasp on medieval chemistry and alchemy. I am willing to break my hikikomori streak and spend money on this quest. I will either make the best tea ever or die having accidently made the best poison ever. How should I start my ignorant botany quest?

Hey /n/, what's your opinion of yourself? Do you have much self-respect? I've been a NEET for awhile now (dropped out of school, I could explain why but it's probably a boring irrelevance) and really, I view myself as being pretty respectable and good in some ways and shitty in others. I think the modern conception of self-esteem and everyone being perfectly wonderful and everyone needing to be made to believe that is kind of bullshit, and I think that encouraging people to think they're all fantastic and should think irrationally highly of themselves tends to breed narcissists more than anything else, but since you and I live essentially pursuing our own comforts doesn't that impact your view of yourself? It runs contrary to what seems like the predominant values people use to judge others, and it also seems as if even if you recognize that you're living in the way you are for perfectly good reasons and without really harming anyone you may still think poorly of yourselves for it.
I don't seem to be too much affected by my own opinion of myself a lot of the time but I do feel a need for validation, and I get enough of a sense of accomplishment from doing certain things that I really don't think too badly of myself. I've actually gotten a story of mine published, and the person who got it published for me would apparently be up for printing more stuff of mine; that person is someone I actually have respect for and see as intelligent and having pretty good taste. I assumed when he chose to publish the story in question that he was simply doing it to fill room (he was printing a collection of the works of local authors) but he said he actually saw a certain charm to it, and so did others, and that made me feel more than a little better about not really being of much benefit to anyone or anything.
Sorry if that seemed like a story I told just to gratuitously congratulate myself, I couldn't think of much else to cite from my own life to explain the occasional sense of accomplishment I get that, more than anything else, seems to keep me from perpetually seeing myself as a worthless piece of shit.
The question stands, do you think much of yourself? If so why? If not why not? Can you define why you do? Is it in accordance to any values you see yourself having or just ego or neuroses?

Then I felt death and how precious life is, changed my plans.
The problem is that a commitment to experience an extraordinary life doesn't change me as a person. I'm still painfully average. Nobody wants to be around someone who is an empty vessel, and especially someone who hates themselves for being that way.
I get extremely upset when I read about someone who has done lots of cool things. It's like reading fiction. And it's completely out of my reach. And time is passing no matter what.
Maybe you don't care about living an atypical life, but if you listen closely, is there a voice telling you that you want something else? I'm only trying to ask you if you are afraid of regretting what you are doing now, over the span of these years, when you look back later on.

When I was all in for this lifestyle, I accepted that I wouldn't live past 30, which made feel okay doing the same thing in my room every day.Then I felt death and how precious life is, changed my plans.
The problem is that a commitment to experience an extraordinary life doesn't change me as a person. I'm still painfully average. Nobody wants to be around someone who is an empty vessel, and especially someone who hates themselves for being that way.
I get extremely upset when I read about someone who has done lots of cool things. It's like reading fiction. And it's completely out of my reach. And time is passing no matter what.

Being ugly
Do any of you have a problem coping with your physical appearance? I have a big problem with it and I don't know what to do about it. Very heavy and painful burden. It hurts to go outside and know that everyone else is staring at me with disgust.

A NEET is someone not in education, employment, or training, thus the abbreviation. This board is for everyone, it was called NEET as a homage to /jp/.
I am socially awkward/I don't leave my house, does that make me a NEET?
It does not. While it is common amongst NEETs you don't have to be socially awkward or a shut-in to be a NEET, and vice versa. Someone who does not leave the house is called a hikkikomori - they might still work from home, making them non-NEET.
Does self-employment, being a housewife or doing chores make one non-NEET?
Someone who does those things is still a NEET, as it is not socially recognized as being employed, and in most cases is not a source of income.
