How can i convince my mom to let me not work and just live in some peace and quiet in my cave? How did you convince your parents to let you live with them without working anons? i have been a NEET since i was 12 because i refused to go to school after moving to some basketball american infested rat hole and being severely bullied. i snapped and quit going to school and even after moving upstate i only went to class for a season at most as a freshman and never went back for obvious reasons of not handling being around others.

My mom was patient with me and let me stay at home at first because i was getting some treatment for my anxiety PTSD and depression,not that zoloft and talking to some old succubus every week helped. i kept my mom off my back by saying i would get my GED and go to college but i never did anything obviously and she kept pressuring me to :look for work" by taking the internet away and long story short i started some job and did it for about 3 weeks and stopped going in until i got fired a month ago. The problem is my mom still wants me to work or study and i flat out refuse but have not told her yet. How can i tell her i don't want to work and to just let me live at home like i have been for years. i don't know if she would even let me try for SSI and what is the point when i probably wont get it but i can worry about all that later.

What i need to know is how the hell did you all become NEET with impunity? did you tell your parents you just wont work and they let you or something because i think my mom will let me stay NEET for a while longer and kick me out in a ear most or something despite loving me because she is a wagecuck and wants me to slave as well and be a normalfag.

I fucked up, big time, I'm 27 and I have to do all the work I didn't do when I was 18/20, go to college (yes I want to, and it's my best option), college is free where I'm at, I didn't do it way back because I was a dumb, delusional idiot.

I have very low self esteem and I'm a horrible communicator.
I think if I try to fake this "K/driver" personality it will actually be good for me, and it may help me go through this period of trying to do all the work I should have done. I'm starting from zero, having blow every opportunity it came my way, being 27 and not even having a stable job or a skill and seeing every one around you surpass you is awful and humiliating.

I think that if I just maintain this stoic facade of "K Gosling" (the characters he plays), that may help me in the long run and thought this phase.
Normal people are not as stupid as most of us talk about, at least not about social communication/behavior, they know you don't belong, that you are trying to blend in, and they are fucking cruel, that's why I thought putting up this facade would be a good idea.

He's not a conflict oriented character, he doesn't seek to stand out, "fight" or prove anything and he doesn't try to blend in, he's just there doing his job, no matter what, if people laugh, or dislike him, so be it, like the LAPD station scene where the other officer calls him a skin job, or in Driver where the kids father comes back and wants to talk to him, or Driver where they are all eating a meal together, he doesn't escalate, he's calm, collected and it's ok with the shitty situation, just doing his own thing.

Do you think it could work? I don't think I can stand all the shit I will have to go through as myself, well I failed several times, so. I know that as myself I can't, therapy and medication didn't help in the past.

I still live with my mother and never have money for anything, always working odd jobs and no fucking skill. I'm the joke of the family and friends, well their friends, I don't have any. As well as was the joke of a regular job I had and a course I was attending years ago. It's fucking awful being in this situation. Some days I just want to burry my head in the sand and not see anyone.
But currently I can't just move cities or move to another state, I neither have the money or skills to just apply for jobs that would allow for that.
But as soon as I find a more stable job I will definitely move out.

They're screening out the wizzies.

We are the last generation of wizards.

Any wizards planning on traveling before they die?

I'm 29, not yet a wiz but I'm less than a year away. I'm getting bored of isolation. I must have spent the last 15 years in total isolation so far and I'm just running out of shit to do alone. Maybe I would play guitar on the streets for some gryos or something. I have a dream of just roaming Europe and some parts of Africa, seeing the ancient cities and landmarks.

I really don't care if I die. If I get kidnapped and executed by towelheads I really don't give a fuck. I had a shotgun in my mouth last week, I don't care.

Sharing some I saved over the years. I prefer stuff that looks comfy, rainy or kind of dark.

look at this fellow companion, didn't he really mastered larping to an extreme?

the "oblivion npc" series are actually revealing how self-sabotaging or even the opposite of it we actually are when feeling observed. What about you? Where do you usually get your npc moments the most? from normals or… from yourself?

The internet parrots "relatability" endlessly, but that can't be all there is to it.

I believe admiration is what actually makes a character a favorite. Its powers, in the most abstract sense, what it can do, defines the virtues the viewer can admire.

Relatability has a multiplying effect: what the character does is more interesting when the viewer can relate, thus it's easier to admire it since you're paying more attention. But relatability is not as crucial to favoritism, because it's the admiration that breeds it.

In the end, what guides one's favoritism are the capabilities a character has: physical might and good looks are to anyone's liking, so fighting prowess and beauty are an advantage on people's internal rating and it's what make such characters figure high in popularity. But certain qualities, skills and attributes are bound to appeal to people differently based on their on preferences - hence favoritism for characters.

Thought about it after noticing how main characters are often written with relatability in mind (ending up bland) and are rarely anyone's single favorite.

So.i noticed this place has a lot of fellows from brazil. And it's a bit ironic given how much of a normalfag-ish that country is. It's like the most sex haver and normalfag-ish country i can imagine. So I am curious about the experiences of wizards there.

Are tulpas the solution to loneliness

Seems like a based way to get company

I am a 26 year old virgin and work in IT. Should I learn a programming language and git gud at something in that field?
