It's obvious my lifestyle is no longer going to work videogames,anime,porn,food, entertainment no longer satisfy me. I have started to realize I have to do something soon or I could end up homeless. I'm looking to get a job and have my own place. I would rather work then live like a rat on the street.This lifestyle is fun for the first few years,but after awhile it starts to reach diminishing return,you start to feel empty, depressed.

 No.255781

It's called getting a wiz job. Get a job where you work at night, when not many people are awake.

Guaranteed comfy and easy to get, since nobody wants to work overnights except for weirdos and outcasts.

My plan is to become homeless. I've worked, I've been NEET and neither are better than the other. It's just an endless exhausting loop that I've been repeating my whole life. Maybe when I finally hit rock bottom I'll turn things around because I'm all out of ideas.

For me it's the thought of not being able to find anywhere to go to the bathroom or being able to reliably avoid harsh sunlight.
If I lived somewhere the sky was dull and gray every single day and it was easy to find places to relieve myself then I honestly think I could tolerate every other unpleasant aspect.

Dammit, I already feel depressed wageslaving around normies all day and only having two days off to actually do what I want to do. Homelessness is downright horrible too. I only feel relief when I close my eyes into darkness or retreat into my NEET cave on a 2:00 am Saturday morning. Fuck man why is life so ass.

I'm 30 and 2 months (I started counting the weeks since I turned 30).
I've been trying to convince myself to try and join the Air Force but there's so much there that horrifies me. There's no guarantee all the pain and humiliation to get in doesn't end with 40 months of torturous highly controlled drudgery. But there's also the chance it leads to a mild and comfortable job that pays your room/board and offers huge benefits after your contract ends in 4 years.

The worst part is the thought it takes months just to get into basic because so many people want in and you can't 100% choose your job. I haven't even talked to a recruiter but the idea of being 30…or 31 and surrounded by 18 year olds isn't thrilling.

I'm a 25 y/o NEET living in Kazakhstan and I've 0 working experience nor do I have a proper education. The only source of my income is my grandma and her pension - I'm not sure whether she wakes up tomorrow. The only other relative that I have is my drunkard mother, she also doesn't work and we live together. She constantly yells about how she is just tired from the whole thing, sometimes she explicitly speaks about suicide.
My grandma also owns the appartment we all live in and of course there are no legal documents prepared on that matter cause nobody cared enough and it was diffifult for me to take her to a lawyer. She's diagnosed with mild staged alzheimer's now so it's probably too late to care anyway.

I suffered from crippling social anxiety since the day i finished the school, to the point of not being able to leave my house. Maybe I could afford going to a psychiatrist one or twice if I really wanted (maybe it would help), but seemingly I didn't. Now it's relatively easier for me to perform semi-social stuff and I can flawlessly go to a grocery store or ride a bus without having an anxiety attack. I can even take a telephone call without having to drink a can of 8% beer beforehand which is simply unbelievable. What it probably means is that I should start searching for a low wage job before it's too late, but for some reason i'm still not acting. The idea of having a job and interacting with people still scares me, no idea what to do with it yet.

Can't remember the last time i spoke to someone even online (excluding anonymous boards, youtube comments, gaming chats etc). In 2018 maybe? The feeling of my own inadequacy prevents me from opening up to people.

I have no idea how things are going to turn out after my grandmother's death but I have my nitrite and some phenazepam so Im relatively calmful about the whole situation. As long as I have an access to the exit door, It's all fine I guess.

Maybe i'll try to work as a courier/streetcleaner for a while, doesn't sound very stressful.

Sorry for bad english, sorry for writing all this, please don't read this retardcy.

dudes just go on indeed and search for warehouse jobs, most precisely search for "order selector."

I moved to a new state on march 6th and I've gotten 3 conditional offers (which are probably all going to be real offers because im not a felonious heroin addict) the same day i went in for the interview. They're paying 20/hr + incentives/overtime so you can make a pretty decent stack of cash.

You could just work for a year, save up 25-30k (if you don't pay rent probably more) and then you have some money to work with. There's no social interaction its just you and the job. yea its a step above slave labor buuuuuut…

>I find this really hard to believe. How is the Swiss economy able to function AT ALL if that's the case? Who's stocking the shelves?

You are right, it would indeed cause a really big national unemployment issue and other economical problems if you'd need a degree for every job in Switzerland.

You don't need a degree to work in a warehouse in switzerland and I don't know where that idea came from, sometimes licenses are required in case you have to operate a forklift, vehicles or other heavy machinery.

There's a whole lot of jobs in Switzerland that don't require degrees and not even training and some of them even pay quite well, all you need to do is send out applications.

That whole degree stuff is just a narrative they try to push on people in school and while it makes sense to het a degree it's still totally possible to find work without one.

Some of us are too enraged by ppl to work most menial jobs, count urself lucky if you have the capacity to work remotely, se a coder, or have a knack/the willpower for trades.

Someday your will to work will run out too though, then it’s just bumbling and farting around while you wait to die, not so dissimilar to homeless life :)

I bought some tools some years back and from time to time some neighbor or relative will ask me to do some labor for them. This has just kind of been working for me. I earn a hundred to a few thousand bucks per job depending on the length of the job. Every time I am almost out of money I just get another job. It's like magic or something. I neet it up 99% of the time, literally for years at a time sometimes without work because I spend like a miser and then randomly I will get another job just when I was almost out of money. I feel blessed by God or something. I have stopped thinking as much about the future and just enjoy every day I have when NEETing. The best part is when I do work I work alone and I can listen to a podcast to keep myself entertained. The work is all simple manual labor that takes no mental effort. Actually I lied, the real best part is that once the job is over I know I go back to being NEET so working is kind of like a refreshing form of exercise instead of a soul-crushing grind.

If I have money and someone offers me a job I will just turn them down giving some excuse. Sometimes I say I am not licensed so I can't do it. It's true that I'm not licensed and in my state you do need a license to do all the sorts of jobs I do, but I do them anyway if I need money. Sometimes I just lie and tell them I don't know how to do it. I'm pretty sure some of my relatives think I'm dumb as a brick lol. To the extent that I have any plans for the situation going forward they involve just learning how to live an even more frugal lifestyle so I can NEET for even longer. I want to learn how to fix my own car and other skills that can be used to be more self-reliant.

I'm on medicaid and don't make enough money to have to file taxes so I would hardly call it being employed. It's evil that if you start making too much money they kick you off healthcare but then healthcare is ridiculously expensive. It's gotten better since Obamacare but buying on the marketplace still sucks tons of money out of you. I would rather just not work enough to risk my medicaid. So far I've never even come close because I can survive on barely any money while living with my parents.

I'm make throw away personas. Once in a while I've contributed code to some open project. Then ghost the pseudonym. I've been doing this for some years.
Couldn't be assed to build a proper profile of myself. I'm too avoidant for that. Too schizo to maintain a persistently presentable facade.
I don't know. My last salvation would be some how become a freelancing code monkey without having to do all the song and dance to prove I can figure my way around random code bases.

It is a fantasy though. I'm sure the real world doesn't work the way I've come to function when coding. I don't think I could handle the pressures of business level work. I mean it doesn't matter that I spent days, weeks, months even poring over someone elses borderline psychotic stream of consciousness codebase. But in the real world I'm guessing bossman would demand this shit be done by 5pm sharp. Where as coding an hikki where time doesn't exist, it doesn't matter that I took months to malleate the code into something that isn't the frantic keyboard mashings of an stressed out salary man.

those of you in neetdom, it is good advice to think humble thoughts so kill that ego asap and don't talk back when scolded. take the garbage outside so keep a low profile like a church mouse, if you have a bit of income and you notice a light flickering try to replace it (those go for very cheap)

say hi when they come home and carry their groceries without them asking (its only a short distance) keep your belongings/vices out of sight and plug in devices when night time comes after they've gone to sleep, sweep around if you can and don't use their stuff. basically go Szpilman mode

I tried to reverse the damage after I entered my 30s but it's just not the same.

I can only simulate normieness to a degree. I still get flashbacks to age 20-29 when I was practically isolated from the rest of the planet.

In general, I just feel nothing constantly. Even though I'm now able to hold a job or even talk to people, have hobbies etc., I don't feel happiness, joy etc.

No depression either. Just pure numbness and hopelessness. No joy from pretty much anything anymore unless food counts.

I think homelessness wouldn't be so bad if you were young and healthy, and otherwise neurotypical. I would be able to handle it pretty easily, I'd climb up lampposts downtown and sleep under the shelter you can find on rooftops, there are lots of little dry spots tucked away under shelter on the roof access doorway.

>other hobos


It's actually sociopathic normies that deal to the homeless, not other homeless. Think a bunch of drunk teenagers walking home, they'd smack up a homeless guy for a laugh. The idea that homeless are dangerous is a myth, they're more the victims of violence than the perpetrators.

26. 2 months of work experience total split between multiple jobs, walked out of every job I ever had or no called no showed because I have no tolerance for stress. Lying on resume has not helped. I spend most of my time holed up in my room engrossed in videogames, I go outside maybe once or twice a month for a short walk or to go to the store with family, sometimes months never leaving. Nobody will hire and I have no productive hobbies that can be monetized. Only plan at this point is to eventually ask for enough money to get me to a larger town or big city with social services that can handle rejects.
