Wizards, I'm really uncertain about my situation right now and would like your advice, since this is a matter that I think only you would be able to fully appreciate.

I was a NEET and borderline hikki for about 8 years during my mid-20s. I was very content during that time, because the NEET lifestyle actually suits me very much: I'm extremely introverted and don't crave many material possessions. Because of that, I never sought the social stimulation or the monetary compensation of work.

However, my situation changed and I had to find a job, as my prior source of minimal income disappeared.

I was very fortunate to find a remote job that pays decently, even though I only have a HS degree. I've been in that job for over 5 years now. Due to my aforementioned frugal lifestyle, I was able to save enough money that I think will last me over a decade.

With this in mind, my question is this. My greatest wish right now is to resign from this job and return to being a NEET. It's a question that bothers me every day. However, I fear that this job is sort of a unique opportunity, and that I won't be able to find anything similar, once I run out of money. I even considered doing things like day trading so I can extend the duration of my savings.

What would you do in a scenario like this? Keep your somewhat comfy WFH job or just return to NEEtdom?

Think about it. A pro-NEET guy abandonning WFH kills the idea of WFH, making NOOOOORMS like ones I went to the same faculties to get even more convinced WFHs are a bad idea.

A WFH-experienced guy can peddle ("from experience!") the idea WFH reduces back pains, neck pains and such by allowing an average Joe to reset your "sit fatigue" or some similar quasi-madeup term.


Real basis is, a person who's big can buy a proper big guy's seat and not a flimsy ("budget!") wheeled chair.

More often than not I find myself having problems with experiencing proper passage of time. Sometimes I think how X was so long ago, only to discover it happened just two or three months ago, while at the other hand things that I think of as "recent" are already couple of years old. Since I always have "something to do", days pass very quickly at unnoticeable pace. Everything post covid feels off, everything turns into an uniform past that was both "recently" and "a long time ago" and I don't feel like I'm making memories, just it's stuff I remember, if you get what I mean.

My mom was an airhead who barely learned to read and write. She grew in poverty and she's obsessed with being poor and loves watching videos of people in extreme poverty. Despite all that she is a narcissistic cunt who thinks she's superior to everyone and loves to humilliate people every chance she gets. She got with my dad because she thought he was rich. No matter how much money she gets she tries to spend it all as soon as she gets it. As a kid, she constantly told me that she didn't love me and that I ruined her life, everytime my dad left the house she used to beat me. Everytime I'm around her, she makes sure to make hurtful comments, completely unprovoked, and loves to shame me in front of people. I know that part of my low self-steem is because of her. She always made me feel like I was worth nothing.

My dad was a musician that eventually became a moderately famous photographer for a national newspaper. He was a decent man when I was a kid, but eventually he started to beat my mom and me, he also kicked us out of the house plenty of times. His so called "fame" got the better of him and became a womanizer. He spent most of his money on succubi and came back home with nothing. That obviously caused more fights that always ended with me having to mop my mother's blood off the floor and having to call an ambulance to get her to the hospital. The beatings only caused my mom to resent me even more for "ruining her life". I was just an elementary school kid when all of these things happened and they continued to happen until I was 17. On top of that I was getting bullied at school, so I came back home from getting bullied to find my parents trying to kill each other.

Now almost a couple of decades later, I'm stuck with two aging parents who believe that I "owe" them for the hell they put me though. Needless to say, I hate them. And even though I feel some "love" for them as a son and know that I will cry them when they finally die. A part of me will find relief when that happens.

My mom is ableist and dosent support my autism. Also owes me lots of $ and ruined me with abuse and financially abusing me other ways. Luckily i got on bux and will leave her soon

 No.226554

Very neglectful and also most of the time abusive. Mother says she never drunk during the pregnancy while i have these deformed bones and fucked head from the get go. Didn't care about their children's healthcare despite it being free in this country. Held (and still are) insanely different standards between their children so while one could completely fuck up school the other one got beaten for not having exceptional grades, partially because one of the few doctors we visited told them i am le gifted. Did not care about getting me help for my 'tisim and adhd (went to a christian witch instead wtf. Had to get diagnosed on my own as an adult) and any symptom was made fun of and/or reason for punishment. Constantly hated each other but were too inept to divorce despite there being 0 cost or risk as they were both on bux and during one of their fights while my father was brandishing a knife i had to call the cops and this start the divorce. Again, there was never a reason for them to stay together and they could have done one without asking their fucking kids to call the cops. Father was such a abusive and lazy bastard that i regularly fantasized about unimaginable things even at that age. Used his children as a way to smuggle stuff also.

Im now a adult living with my mom and brother. Almost every day here is still so fucking shit and since my parents never taught me anything and diverted all their energy towards my brother i am having trouble finding a place in this world and moving out.

The only good thing is that since I'm (totally surprisingly btw) in bad health now i have this cloud of dementia making me forget almost everything. Don't know if its some mental defense mechanism or just health but at this rate i will have my memories only go back 5 years if i hit 30 so i wont care much longer.

How did you manage that? Its one of the few options i have i think.

 No.226562

They both love me I think.
But every time I speak to them it's obvious they're so dissapointed. I see it in their eyes.
They weren't ever abusive and I don't think they ever asked anything unreasonable, all they wanted was a normal kid. They'd try and make me hang out with classmates but I never enjoyed going to parties or any such gathering.

We weren't living in poverty. I wasn't physically deformed. I wasn't bullied. Both my parents were mentally well. I was given so many opportunities and I never even tried.
Sometimes I wonder if it would feel better to have had bad parents that I could hate and blame. It might be a "grass is greener…" type of situation. There is no one to blame but myself.

You know this is something that I ponder about so much, I am over 18 and I stay with my parents but they've made my life an absolute living hell, from the outside it seems like a heaven as they provide me with food, wifi, roof, etc. But it has made my life miserable.

I want to move out but I can't because I don't live in the Western Hemisphere where I imagine most of the traffic of this website comes from. I have tried to earn online as well but have had 0 luck. They beat me a lot as a kid, my parents are unhappy with their own marriage, my mother doesn't have the guts or the financial capacity to leave my father.

My father regularly abuses everyone. My body literally starts to shake like I can feel my dick and brain. By dick I mean the gland in the kidney working overtime. It's like I am about to die. Sometimes I can't breathe either. It's as I said like I am about to pass out and collapse. I can literally feel my heart beating like hell. It's incredibly stressful to live with them.

And my father doesn't even provide financially we're just living off whatever little wealth my grandfather accumulated for us. He's literally of no use and he is hyper religious. But due to the nature of my community even the other people of my family know that he's a piece of shit but can't really see cause they love my father.

My life has been absolutely hell. While I am technically not a NEET, as I go to college, I am working my absolute ass off to get a job but I have had absolutely no luck, probably because of my shitty college, shitty grades, lack of understanding important concepts.

I know I should be grateful since they are keeping me after 18 years of age but just cause I am dependent upon them doesn't give them a right to abuse me and to "just leave" is not an option. My father literally terrorises me. Like what he is doing is literal terrorism, yes, I know it doesn't fit the political definition of terrorism, but in my eyes what he's doing to me is literally terrorism.

I kinda wanna let my pain out here on this forum but ultimately it's useless to do so. I just want escape from this. I want someone to look after me or provide me with money but that's not how the real world works, perhaps, I wouldn't do it for anybody else either. So it's hopeless. I will keep suffering until and unless I become a complete vegetPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Should I take the Catholic pill?

They seem to genuinely respect Wizards and have a tradition of hermits. Their priests are a celibate ruling class.

I didn't grow up around Christians but it seems like the difference between them and other Christians is that they're the original church together with the lesser known Orthodox Church.

I don't get all the rules they have though. You shall attend Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation and rest from servile labor. You shall confess your sins at least once a year. You shall receive the sacrament of the Eucharist at least during the Easter season. You shall observe the days of fasting and abstinence established by the Church. You shall help to provide for the needs of the Church, each according to his or her own ability.

I'm overwhelmed. I get why people just go with the DIY protestant approach but it seems like if the Catholics are one of the original churches Jesus said was legit then it's a safer bet.

Look I don't get how there can be a miracle like resurrection either and frankly all the Abrahamic religious miracles seem really underwhelming compared to the wild stories of Hindu gods. But so many people believe in Christianity from a Pascal's wager perspective it seems like I might as well consider it.

At least it'll make me feel like I'm less LARPing some fantasy wizard and instead I'll seem like a faithful religious hermit which gets more respect points

Honestly? If you haven't by now, go to a few masses and see. Don't worry about the rules just yet.
Seeking God is the important part, and if you find Him there, you won't really have much of a choice but to look into the rest.
Try an Orthodox church too though before you dismiss the whole thing though if you find nothing.
I've never found much life in a Roman Catholic mass myself, just bits and pieces almost in spite of the rest of it, but I wouldn't have known that without going. But He speaks to people differently.

The rules are a complex topic. It's an attempt to use power/authority to force people to do things that are "good" for them by threatening punishment. But that defeats the purpose IMO. They are only good if you do them out of love of Christ and all the little christs around (those neighbors you're supposed to love as much as yourself), not out of fear of punishment.

I'm not sure how a Roman Catholic who is truly seeking Christ can internalize that. I guess if I could I would be one.

>>226011
For the Orthodox, priests are usually married because practically speaking the priests are the closest to the world and need to guide the laity through it. You're going to be a lot better at giving advice about rebellious kids or marriage problems or whatever if you've gone through that yourself.
Monks can also be priests though, and they would be unmarried. And bishops are traditionally picked from monks. So it's really only the parish priests and laity who deal with marriage.

The Patriarch of Moscow does seem to be pretty fucked up lately.
But that doesn't really speak to the Orthodox church as a whole unless you're suggesting that the Patriarchs of Alexandria, Antioch, and Constantinople are all Russian plants somehow.

Okay, Almost all of us here barely have any friends IRL, me included (I am sure at least half of us here are fine with that), But what about online Socialization? even the biggest Hikikomoris socialize online, the issue is that I f*g can't relate to people online, even in circles that are meant for "losers" and "outcasts", even if i like many people there and we can somewhat get along, I still feel that I do not belong there and that we live in entirely different worlds, And I do not play online games, nor post in any other imageboard aside of this, I always feel home here, unlike anywhere else online, so it's comfy here, but somewhere like 4trannies? hell no, it really hits when my former online friends are advancing in life and starting romantic relationships and I am left in the same exact place (not negatively) it's when I realize that I don't belong around them and I am only going to relate to them less and less with the time, and I hate it when they try to get me to change my way and try to talk to me about "getting a G.F" and escaping wiz/apperantice-hood so i decide to just abandon them and live inside of my own mind bubble comfortably

Sorry to blogpost as a reply but I wish I had understood this earlier in life. Having problems making friends I spent the better part of the first 25 years of my life trying to figure what was "wrong" with me.

Had a similar problem throughout life. I knew, I had been enjoying the feeling I was meant to live solo when I was a kid. Later, parents and lots of people around me spent a lot of time and effort trying to "fix me" by shouting something something NORMAL school, something something YOUR HANDWRITING LOOKS LIKE ONE OF A CRAZY PERSON'S and other HUH YOU CANNOT LIVE ALL ALONE pityful exclamations.

That was the life of me against NORMIES who would trip me up with "why can't you NORMIE" bs.

I have a hunch there are companies that specialize on finding shy shut-in, *chan.org tier IT dudes that are good enough to do the computer stuff - and demand employeRs to do this or that set of rules.


See, employeRs also suffer from problems when they cannot actually fill a position, so they pay $$$ to a hiring company. A company that finds guys of this or that profile for them.

Corpo problems tend to go from bad to even worse when a bucko of a top manager demands to bring him some tidy, tie-wearing manager and never gets any. So an average top manager *has* to be told by such a hiring agency to "settle" for a neckbeard who does neckbeard tier life yet turns out to be tested with "puter stuff" proficiency.


If you can't get an interview for a cool position - maybe that's because you don't apply for a job in IT yourself in y2k+{25, …, 112}?

Since it's a HUNCH, I have to elaborate on the pieces of data I have

1. "Headhunting" agencies that hunt for proper workforce are a thing in the corporate world.
2. Recruting agencies also.
3. Agencies get $$$, big bucks, for finding a "right person" to fill an actual opening.
4. Corporate latter dream job has a problem sometimes: should a top notch clerk get promoted, the department loses the top notch clerk (minus productivity) and they need time to adjust for the new role.
5. The world of job applications has at least 2 foxy moves that ruin hones job search:

Uno. HRs are told to look for real cool people, but they don't really hire. The corpo suits want to pretend they're hiring new workforce *to trick investors into investing for implied growth*

Dos. A straight up robbery by the middle management. There is a project. They require X people. They hire X - 1, "iks minus one" heads, tell every applicant for the seat number X "you're not good enough, you lack some soft skillz that are detrimential"… or some other excuse… and then, the middle managers tell both the higher-ups aA D the guys at the project things are looking grim: there are little to no good people available so you should settle for an unpaid intern to do routine stuff. Then, the middle management demands extra $$$ for "managing" the problem and saving $$$ in salaries not paid in process.

I think I've just realized a good reason to live.

I have /wiz/ardchan tier sex drive - as in very low

During my teens/20s I had stress so high I had no morningstaff (/dep/ tier past) - but I missed the part where I was supposed to end up a "crab".

All my /hob/ are computer-related, I don't really need too many "real stuff". In fact, I like "industrial" design or straight-up "rustical" crude design.

I dabble a little in /jp/ culture - as in 1950s-1980s, not just modern anime/games/both combined (Touhou Project) and pre-1885 times of samurai

and I have my own taste in /music/ - I have utilitarian preferences, such as commercial background music.


I think my consciousness would be quite useful as a template to copy and to install into various robot-like machines… y'know, it happens sometimes - it's VERBOTEN, ZAPRESHCHENO, PROHIBITED to make X, but there's an opportunity to get Y and upgrade it to something that's close to X. So hey, have fun cloning [and patching up?] my mind with additional knowledge, should manufacturing a strong AI from scratch und up prohibited.

Since I do not identify with seggs/gossip/"SUCCial lifey" and such, I have less problems than regular urban person all while I do not have the addendum of the beautiful divine nature of a proper hermit/monk/a high-composure person who keeps masking own feelings, not genuinely lacks them.

People always say you shouldn't, but whenever I let myself feel any small amount of happiness the feeling of sadness/depression that I'll inevitably feel later is so painful it makes me wish I just didn't feel anything at all in the first place. Meditation has gotten close to this and I like the peace it gives me but I wish I felt that peace all the time.

Oh, by the way, it kinda helps with self-esteem to know you're exploiting a trick little to no people should know about.

Say, a completely legit move as long you don't tell anyone: you "thrift hunt" for cool used goods in thrift stores. Cool overcoats, "trench coats" made of wool, 1940s people cosplay stuff, this, that…

I found a designer coat in such a store once. For meazly 4 bucks ahaha. All while new coats from that brand cost 8000$ or similar. And don't get me started n wearing furcoats in Nordic areas.
