I mostly just do groundskeeper stuff once a week, or more if there's been a storm and there's crap to pick up.
During the town's history day I sometimes let myself be talked into dressed in historic costume to hand out pamphlets, but I'm autistic enough they don't bother to try to prep me to be a tour guide. I've also been working with a couple of the history hags to make field trips more immersive for kids, but I'd rather chew my left foot off than do anything but help organize and come up with ideas.
I hung out at the main ones enough that I help with and eventually figured I might as well put the chairs up.

The history hags were initially excited because anyone my age or younger even visiting is exciting to them. I call them that, but they are nice for old succubi. One even gave me a card saying I could put volunteering there on resumes if I ever look for a job.
It is cool hanging around the people who've made the town their lives. You pick up old ghost stories, learn about cool historic figures you'd never have heard of otherwise, about now-gone parts of the sites. It's humbling, as well, to be reminded of how easily details are lost over time.

>>229880

It's important sites relevant to niche interest in my country's history
It's like annoying boomers say, 'Do what you love' and all. Plus since I'm only sometimes 'paid' in granny baked goods or extra gift shop slop, I choose when I do it so they don't get annoyed if I have other things keeping me from picking up branches or sweeping up.

Previous post >>228999

So, I’ve contracted COVID-19 and am currently undergoing treatment in the hospital. I was tested, and the result came back positive. My whole body aches—right down to my feet—and I’m suffering from simultaneous fever and chills all over. It’s a serious condition, and I’m lying here weak in the hospital; yet, amidst the pain of the illness, there’s a strange sense of satisfaction in having caught COVID-19—it feels as though I’m just like everyone else who has been infected, so I’m not entirely evil.

Do you think psychotherapy can help NEETs to become something better? It's such a common advice out there: go to therapy, it's the best you can do to help yourself, it's your responsibility etc etc. What's your experience with therapy? Do you think it genuinely might help?

"Catastrophic thinking and going all in on every stimulus is not actually a rational strategy. Sure you put yourself into everything you did, but you did this because 1. you didn't have any attractive alternatives and 2. you have not developed a sense of scale appropriate to your situation."

That specifically got the ball rolling for me. Up to that point in my life my lack of skill and social graces had been made up for by intensity and hard work and *I thought that was how things were supposed to go*. It had been so ingrained in me to the point of pseudo autism to just go all in on everything always and the level of actual challenge in my life up to that point was such that it had actually worked. Encountering the real fucking world and market forces for the first time was something I was not prepared for in the slightest. And this was *after* I had a job and successfully completed 4 years of study with what were awarded as merits.

>QOL wise

I started thought stopping on projects and tasks until they had been assessed on ROI and available layout perspective. In turn I started turning down opportunities and stopped thinking that I had to do everything that was presented to me as a moral imperative.

I've read/been told that effective therapy is when bad habits and maladaptive strategies have become so ingrained that not only can the subject not change it but they're incapable of recognising it. Outsourcing some of the cognitive load and being assessed against a coherent framework was useful in recognising that what I had assumed was a valid strategy on the rare occasions I thought about it, was essentially a streak of luck.

It helped me with the immediate issue of my mother's death but otherwise I'd say the psychotherapy was a waste of time and money. As for the drugs they seem to have worked, as now I feel much better, so there's that, but I understand they won't help everyone, certainly not as much as a proper diet would (I'm still working on that personally).

Consider for a moment this thread. OP's argument is completely logical. For him working has no upside. His parents are wealthy enough that there is also no downside for them to supporting him. Logically then it makes much more sense for them to continue to support him, but if you look at the responses, people literally treat him as if he is some sort of criminal for simply wanting to maximize his own happiness.


This all boils down to the fact that people in this instance arrive at their conclusion not through logic, but rather through instincts that have evolved and been broadly passed down through the group. In this case there is a mismatch between the current societal conditions and the conditions that lead to the instinct evolving.

For most of human history human society could simply not afford to support dead weight. It's obvious how a group could be dragged down by the attempt to do so. People who had the instinct to not try and support these leeches therefore ended up doing better and over time this instinct became wildely exhibited. It doesn't matter that things have changed since the industrial revolution. Because these things are decided by instinct not logic, pointing those things out will not change people's minds.

You can remind them that actually there aren't even enough jobs to go around, not that everyone is constantly working and we can't get enough stuff done to meet people's needs. It's literally the opposite now, but people still react as if it is a personal moral failing to not have a job.

This same dynamic can be observed in many different examples. Most of the problems of modern day society stem from normalfag's inability to realize when their thoughts are being driven by irrational instincts. I'm tired of living in a world run by such cattle. Reading threads like this just make me want to neck myself.

It is normal. To take advantage of and to be taken advantage of is akin to inhaling and exhaling. Those who allow themselves only to exhale will be empty and tired. Those who only inhale will be full of hot air. It is important to balance being on the giving and receiving end of advantageous gestures.

 No.229651

I don't know if I would call it "taken advantage of", but I feel that there is often times an asymmetrical exchange in terms of effort and expectations in my relationships.
For instance, my mother might want to show me some stupid bullshit she saw on youtube, or rant about something she heard from her ladyfriend, and I'm just supposed to drop everything and listen without getting a word in myself.
Then if I ever want to show my mother something, or tell her something, she can barely be bothered to pay attention and for no longer than a couple minutes.
With my father he might require my help to lift something heavy or help out in the yard (which has taken hours on certain occasions in the past), but when something in my room needs fixing I'm on my own.
I don't have any friends right now, but when I did I feel like it was a similar thing. I'd have a friend call me on Skype (remember skype lol, anyway) and he'd rant for 2 hours about some stupid shit, but if I ever wanted to talk to him he'd always be busy, etc.
The only place where I feel like I got explicitly taken advantage of was at work. I've had several (menial, minimumm-wage type) jobs where I was doing most of the work while my coworkers slacked off or sat in the back talking.
It's like Rodney Dangerfield said: "I get no respect, I tell ya, no respect at all."

>I am talking extremely difficult problems like purpose I just don’t care anymore. Even though I do allot to keep busy as a neetgod
If there's no purpose or it is vanidity, is just attachment that make you suffer.
Sorry my engrish, for now i have a purpose. Maybe tomorrow there's no more one or maybe another one but anyway, feeling good healthy and relaxed is a good purpose for life NOW and tomorrow if you want, the health is the base of everything.
>Also
I started to do some somatic exercises to relax my body and free my body tension.
I do each day the same routine 20 to 30 min or even hours or do the same move for a whikw if i can while bacause i enjoy it while i focus and try to relax.
Somatic exercises, qigong moves and breathwork to chill etc
>And what exactly do these exercises?
Well, in a stream of consciousness sense. I breath more good and have more consciousness of breath, i breath more easy and maybe gained some cappacity to breath, every breath turn me more chill, i more calm, i can focus more on things (i like to focus in the fluff sensation in my hands after and during somatic exercises) and i gain body sense while i walk and i get these body sensations and is kinda fun. I gained more equilibrium in my feets like there's a middle axis helping me now to balance.
When I go to the bathroom it is not difficult, it also helps when I get out of bed and I don't get tired so quickly when walking or have pain in my feet when walking and doing it before going to sleep lowers my nerves and I sleep better. I didn't improve my diet much but I try not to eat garbage.
I more calm now so i have little problems related to that.
>Also
So Yep i kinda deppresive sometimes and this help me a lot and still is helping getting more good each day.

Try this one if you want just to focus more in breath. You dont need to do so much exaggerated hard moves, just move your arms and hands, do equilibrium, do pendelum with one legs, with two arms etc you gonna start to feel new interesting sensations after sometime. You can use a comfy pillow in your feets but its kinda unnecesary, same you can use a small ball to press and pass in your feets.

I'm 29 years old. In a month, I'll be 30. My graduation to wizard is, admittedly, something causing me more distress than I thought it would.
There's so much to life that I never got to experience, and no I don't just mean sex or romantic relationships, though those are big.
I've been caring for my disabled grandmother while working since I was 17. I quit school to care for her because nobody else would.

I've had virtually no life since I was a teenager. This combined with being an introverted person is rough. I've never even had a friend outside of the Internet. Any friend.

But it's too late to turn back. This is what the cards had in store for me.

 No.229870

30 is when you get your powers. Something tells me it's gonna be barbarian resilience. Caring for an elder takes a lot of effort, I have a similar situation with pops. About your education, I sense a little regret, but I know you can do something about it. Also, you can make a lot of friends feeding stray animals or caring for plants. Or maybe you get inspired and start lifting and become a battlemage. Know this, you have two hands and two feet, a heart and a head; when all is over, you get before Crom, and he'll ask "I give you those struggles in life. What did you do?" and you will respond "I ENDURED!". It's within yourself what kind of wizza you will become. Reflect and tell us, when you reach 30.

 No.229871

I'm in the same boat. Done nothing since high school which was 10+ years ago, soon 15. It's all fun and games until you're a wiz for real. I thought I'd splurge and buy something nice for myself for the big 3-0 but am probably not even going to do that. Even if you "knew" you were going to spend the rest of life alone, it's a lot more real now. It's like knowing you'll die eventually versus actually being in the process of dying. Having made it to 30 I don't think there's anything left to prove. Even if one consciously decides to step away from the path at this point, it won't change the fact you're permanently different from the rest of humanity.

Yeah, 7 months for me. If I didn't have a part-time job I would have literally nothing and nobody - even that might just be Stockholm syndrome. I learnt some skills here and there but like Shinji and his Cello it all came to naught. Social isolation ruined my life and I should've done more to change. Hard to believe I've been here for a decade. I try to ruminate less and exist in the now but it's like swimming against the tide (And I don't even know how to swim).

This may be one of my more insane ideas, but lately I've been thinking about becoming a "content creator" as a way to get money to keep neeting it up.

If you think about it, there are some obvious advantages and disadvantages that wizards have when it comes to content creating. First is of course unemployment. Only the unemployed can devote the time and effort it takes to actually produce a high quality video. Disadvantage though is not being a normalfag makes it hard to get popularity. It's not impossible though as pic related proves.

There is low hanging fruit in this field, stuff like playing video games on one of those streaming sites, but it is likely to be dominated by normalfags with entertaining personalities. What sort of content then could a wizard use to get views?

Monetization strategy seems to be important as well. Apparently you make way more stuff from selling stuff on youtube than you do from just views, so that's why everyone is doing affiliate links and shit. Discuss any monetization schemes you may have.

I think that if you approach this seriously and think about how to actually create content that is interesting and provides value to the viewer you might be able to use this as a way to get bux without a real job. Thoughts?

These platforms are rigged; the people who gain fame aren't simply "chosen by the public"—it's actually businesspeople who decide who gets put in the spotlight. Maybe if you make videos supporting Israel and speaking positively about Jewish people, you’d stand a chance.

I'd do that since it's the only way I could monetize my autism, but my voice sucks and I'm too autistic to narrate even simple shit properly.

You could probably make a lot of money if you're smart about it and dedicated, despite having a boring personality. MrBeast managed to become world's first youtube billionaire even though he's boring as fuck. He turned that into a strength and learned how to create content that doesn't require him to have an engaging personality.
