This is a thread dedicated to a queer position I rarely see discussed even here: are there any 5+ year long NEETs who have been jolted out of that position? I'm currently a 25 year old undergraduate because my parents wanted me to do *something*, thankfully I'm studying a cushy humanities degree, but are there any other early to mid twenties people who were long term NEETs that had to find theirselves doing something?
My parents made me study accounting in a meme online college. I passed the first year but this year I might fail since I have no interest in the material and hate studying. I'm 30yo
im 29 and and have not had a job since 23 due to mental illness. i on impulse applied for a night position as a janitor at a local hospital. was offered a job but backed out last minute.
i don't really want the job, I don't really want a job a general. but first and foremost I probably should not even bother trying due to psychiatric problems. long term I just can't keep it together.
>>163477 Yeah 37 here and been neet since 20. Learning to program to try and escape. I think my odds of making it are poor at best but this is my last shot now. I refuse to work dead end service industry jobs that pay so little I may as well just go homeless.
shared my story on here before. Was a Neet for 8 and a half years. My parents got sick of my shit, and told me there wont be a year 10, get a full time job or go be homeless. SO, i had to go back to work, not sure what was worse , looking for jobs or getting one.
Every meme stereotype about being a shy ugly crab waggie is true. I usually feel like KMS every day, and i just sit there thinking all the opportunities i blew off to get rich over the years, where i could of been retired, instead im stuck working like this til i die.
My current situation is the following: >27yo >still live with single mother >no talents and no skills >no job experience at all; never had a job >no social contacts at all neither in rl nor online (except for mother and sister) >I am schizoid >I have atypical facial pain >I always feel tired and destroyed
Everyday I hear what an unseless idiot I am and that I should finally find a job.
As I see it my options are: >continue to suffer >kill myself >something elese, but I don't know what
>>163558 >Once you are in, you're in for life >Once you are in, you're in for life This thread is dedicated to those who unfortunately aren't, whether it be a change in parental temprament, financial situation, or something else. It's one of the worst positions to be in, you're forced out of a life of relative comfort and there is a wretched penumbra of insecurity surrounding you as you are surrounded by people younger and happier than you will ever be.
>>163611 I am from Europe. Being a drifter would have been an option before the refugee crisis, but now it is apparently a nightmare.
The only other option would be tenting in the wilderness. I was unable to survive in an first world country with all luxuries and technologies. I highly doubt that I could survive on my own. Maybe it would work out in summer but in winter I am hoplessly doomed.
>>163612 You're still in though, that's the most painful part, you can no longer adapt to the outside and inside constantly struggle with the dissonance for the rest of your days
I've been a NEET since 2013. Years of social isolation has left me so dysfunctional I can't ever imagine having a job or going back into society now, I'd need a lot of rehabilitation to manage it. I'll probably end up homeless when my parents die.
I was a NEET for exactly 5 years after dropping out of college. I got my first job 3 years ago and while it was kinda refreshing at first, it quickly got old and now it's just suffocating. I was one of the top performers in the first 2 years but now I slid back to my old lazy NEET habits. The feeling of having to wake up at a certain hour, get out of bed and go somewhere / do something is what I loathe the most.
>>164008 I'm still working there, but I wouldn't be surprised if I got fired this year. I'm at the point where I willfully neglect my basic responsibilities, it's just a matter of time before my boss finds out.
This is about where i am. Everyday i just sit there wanting to KMS. I hate my commute, i hate my building, i hate my co workers, i hate my bosses all 100+ of them, i hate the fuck knuckles i have to tlak to that try to get me fired all day, and then repeat.
I just sit there and re repeat in my head. Why didnt i learn investing from my relatives who were geniuses at it in the late 1990s. Why didnt i put money in apple or amazon in the mid 1990s. Why didnt i put money into crypto currency BS in the late 2000's. So hear i sit. I was once a nice comfortable NEET, now my fate is to be tortured in this hell. I run like a rat through this hell, the option if i fail is homelessness. If i hadnt been a lazy fuck 20 years ago i d be rich right now, forver Neet, on my own.
>>164019 It happened to me too. I made it less than 2 years for my longest time slaving. Like anon said, it was refreshing at first but then it got old, then it became suffocating. Just save up money and quit, coast for as long as possible and then get another job.
>>163608 >I always feel tired and destroyed remove the (((carbs))) from your diet and your metabolism will get fixed in few days and since you're free all day start jogging i can't help you with the rest cause idk your situation irl but those 2 tips helped me a lot
>>164095 >tbh, the groids that tell you work is good for your mental health are insane. I fell for this meme. Work a menial-ish job in electronics manufacturing. It's shit. I like working but only when I can focus on my task and be left the fuck alone. Not on a production floor surrounded by normies. I quit being a NEET because it made me hate myself for being a leech. To be clear I don't hate other NEETs I just hated myself for leeching off of my dad cause he deserves better than a shitty son. Now I am trying to maybe go back to school as my job has tuition assist, maybe I can get a work from home job.
>>164184 I did that since September 2019. All I eat is fish, meat and vegetables. I am not jogging but I have a hometrainer. Ever since then my situation improved slightly, but actually I still feel tired and destroyed. The only thing that I haven't tried is sunlight. I hate it to leave the house and I haven't seen the sun since November or so.
I was neet until 22, ended up going back to school and worked garbage entry level jobs for 3 years altogether. Earlier this year I got a still entry level but much better job. I get to pretend to neet kind of since I mostly work remotely. It's still not the same but it feels ok for now.
>>164378 *Never posted >>164118 Please share it wizzie if you ever come back and see this thread. One of the best parts of wizchan are the schizoidic fantasy realms the posters create. I've got my own.
sorry been busy. And wasnt sure how to write this out, so will put it in short story mode.
Part 1: The Offer.
The Alarm goes off. Looking at the clock, it's 5:30 am, on the dull dirty alarm clock. Get up to shut it off.
Standing there in the dark cold room. "Oh Boy" he thought to himself. "Another Day of fun fun funnnnnnnnn in the Hell center." Turn on the computer, 15 minutes to to glance at the usual sites. 10 minutes to get ready. Back out to the dark and the cold. Usual demons on the toll roads, trying to kill each other with their cars to arrive a minute or two earlier than the other guy. "i probably almost die 20 times a week on here"
Long cold walk to the building. Security guy Grimaces as i walk in, and then looks away so he doesnt have to bother with saying hello or anything that would be considered friendly.
Into the dreary desks to begin to make hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of calls.
I could write what the day is like but it looks something like this, and every day is exactly the same so there is no point in elaboration:
heading home, rinse repeat of the morning routine.
"oh Yea, better check the mail. Why do we have these trailer park mail boxes again?"
checking the mail in the car. "Bill Bill Bill Bill" reading out loud "To our friend at such and such address" (bursts out laughing) Just some random marketing trying to sell me another thing i will never be able to afford.
And Then . . . . . . . .
It fell out, between the other useless junk and garbage. An envelope addressed from THAT Company, that everyone has heard of , that everyone uses. "huh they send mail now?" "The fuck is this?" thinking to himself. "Oh yea, i applied for the warehouse position, probably want me to re apply or something"
fumbling opening it up out of curiosity.
reads:
Dear Mr. Anon,
I've been watching you for sometime now. Your talents and abilities i think could be a great addition to a project that we are working on here. Please contact me immediately about the position I have available for you.
Signed Sincerely
Mr. Famous Name
local number in the down town.
Ok, who ever pranked me with this one. it is SO ON. half tempted to just crumple it up right there. But, want to call the number just for a laugh and see how far they want to carry this prank.
Stuffs folded envelope into shirt pocket.
Rinse and Repeat of Another work Day.
12:30: "time for my 10 minute lunch break" "Oh Yea, the letter, this should be good, bet its to a strip club or something"
dials the local number.
"MR FAMOUS NAMES OFFICE" The serious person on the other end of the phone said. "is this a recording?" he asked.
"NO THIS IS NOT A RECORDING" the person said. "Can I help you!?"
"uh uh uhhhh im Mr. Anon."
"Oh!! Mr. Anon! Mr. Famous Name has been waiting to hear from you! Can you get in here in an hour?"
"uhhh uhhhh im uhh at work though." Looking around the dreary empty hallway. Have to be back at my desk in 5 minutes or i get yelled at.
"No Mr Anon. Mr Famous Name NEEDS TO Meet with you today!" the person on the other end isnt use to hearing no or not getting their way.
"Uh Ok fine, i will be there later today i guess"
what the hell, he thought. Mr. Hell Center Boss, uhhh im sick, i need to leave. The Hell Center Boss: usual angry expression, angry grimacing. "FINE , guess you can make up the work volume tomorrow and stay late"
heading for the downtown, well this should be good for a laugh i guess or a funny stor,
I was NEET for like 5-6 years after graduating university. Part of that was due to my own laziness & indecision in looking for work, part due to the economic downturn of the late 2000s. Eventually due to a family move & me being unable to continue in the trajectory I was in at the time I had to look for a way out of the situation. Did a free technical training course which was being offered in my city & that enabled me to secure a basic tech job at a fairly livable wage. Now I just wageslave and save as much money as I'm able, since I have no one to rely on but myself at this point. Luckily due to my overall frugality and years of cheap NEET living, I'm used on subsisting on the barest of essentials and thus I'm able to save away a decent amount from my salary. I mostly work the late night shift and thus I don't have to interact with people too much.
>>163558 That's true of working, not neeting. That said, part time work isn't that bad. It's fulltime that makes you have less free time and ruins everything. God I hate working full-time. I hope i get fired so I can return to NEETing and learn a work from home skill but my job is apparently necessary so I am stuck. I could just quit but I can't stand the shame. Which is funny because working is fucking gay and does not deserve admiration. The only people whose work I admire are my parents for raising me and supporting me. That is gratitude. No one else deserves respect for their busybody retard jobs.
I've been NEETing for past several years, but now with all this coronavirus shit my grandmother - person i'm leeching off from -, will probably die and i'll be forced to eat of the streets to survive. I don't even think that her death will affect anything that much at this point given given the economy will collapse and i'm a sole for life retard living in thirdworld who can't work or get a bux. Even my documents are fucked and/or missing. All my bridges are burning (if not they're not already) and i don't know in the slightest what to do with anything of it, so i guess i'll proceed doing nothing at all and hiding from stress and fear just like i did my whole life.
>>166869 Im in a similar situation and not technically in a third world country (USA is heading there) Bux are cut off because we moved to a small city that only has one psychiatry clinic with quite a few doctors. I was on path to get the bux but after moving here I got a terrible doctor and put it in a request to change doctors because I seriously wanted to kill him and still do for that matter. Anyway it took them like 2 months to make up their minds and in the end they decided to try and force me to keep seeing that piece of shit. So I just stopped going and thus my path to disability was closed. Shame because under the doctor I had before that I had a good solid 3 years of good hard data because he was good and we tried many different types of drugs and what not to get me somewhat better. But after getting boned here back in 2018 I have a nice gap in my medical history and they love tossing cases out based on that so even if I got a good doctor again it would take another 4 years to rebuild to a winnable case then another 1 to 2 years for their slow asses to process it. Would have to travel 300 miles away to get a new doctor now. Even if I slept in my car I couldn't afford it.
Anyway I don't have that kind of time and I cant even get food stamps now that they are changing the rules to where you need to work 80 hours a month to get it. Thank you Trump I hope a ton of people get pissed off and riot over it.
NEETs are too smart for their own good. If you go about it in a conventional way then you'll retire with dementia and won't be able to enjoy your time left. At most how many years even? 5 before you perish like David's dad? And you are hindered by weak joints and low energy so the activities you can perform are limited. No skydiving or piloting planes. NEETs retire at the prime of their life and have the
>>166874 You only have a limited amount of time on this planet and even less when you're completely healthy without any issues. The cemeteries are filled with people who worked too much and you don't want to spend the finite years you have on this planet slaving away for some shit corporation that doesn't even care about you. I say wizzies should only work as much as they need to in order to afford their hobbies and interest and fuck everything else. Being a NEET is okay too, as long as you know you have an iron-clad NEETbux from the government or from some guaranteed inheritance or something.
>>163557 Not trying to shit on you but you're talking bullshit. Those two things are very different things and any shrink who says you have both doesn't understand either. You should be looking for a new shrink
Structure helps with mental illness. Having to get up every day and do something keeps you focused away from your head fucking up. Old asylums used to have the inmates help with the gardening and preparing dinner. They found it improved patients greatly because they had important but small tasks which gave them a sense of purpose and achievement.
Been a neat for 20 years now. I have poor health so every time I try to get out of it I end up having a health relapse and right back where I started. It's frustrating and I don't know a way out of it.
>>167778 number one shizoaffective is a real but slowly deprecated mental illness, in lay man's terms it is indeed an equivalent of schizophrenia and manic-depressive, trust me pal I've been in mental hospitals and I have the papers to prove that I have it I am certified
and number two the idea that doing mindless boring menial labor helps the mentally ill is just bs justification to enslave us
we are mentally ill we are screwed enough already just let us rot in peace
>>167788 societies idea of curing the mentally ill is getting them good enough to not commit suicide and to wage slave. Hell even if you die on the streets of exposure or starvation its better than having you kill yourself and contributing to the suicide statistics. other than that they give zero fucks. In their eyes working some dead end Job that doesn't even pay a living wage so every waking moment is hell is good enough. At least you are not killing yourself and the life cult can be pleased while they all jerk each other off about their just society.
How about instead of wasting money on absolute garbage like the suicide hotline. Where they just read through screen prompts and say the same shit over and over like Indian tech support. Instead of this tripe just have every town have a small clinic where people show up say they want to die and give them a cyanide pill. Enough with this bullshit. They even try and force meds and other bullshit on homeless people. Gee maybe instead of some idiotic serotonin boost give them a place to stay and try to help them find work their mentally ill can actually do instead of being shoved into some hyper social nomrie shit like fast food or being a cashier. The ones that still can't hack it? give them a cheap place to live with basic necessities at least. Oh but thats all too much and too expensive and against the capitalist poison way? Then go back to that cyanide pill thing.
Depression and mental illness, Drug abuse, Alcoholism etc are not the illness they are the symptoms. They are increasing because society is sick and its hard to get work and just live in your own fucking humble little place with no bullshit room mates. Doesn't help that the trash public school system is child jail and when I was in it a fucking fight club. Maybe not break so many people when they are not even old enough to fucking drive?
In the end they will do nothing just another fucking token joke of effort and wonder why everything is still going to shit.
i was NEET from 2011 till 2019 (there were some short periods when i had job, went to uni) near the end of 2018 i started looking for job, and in january 2019 i got a really nice job
>>167789 >>167788 paper work doesn't mean anything. The whole industry is pseudo science and will be replaced with a real medical field when we better understand the brain.
It's not about slave labour, have you never done anything you felt good doing and could have pride in? Cooking a good meal for people you like is one of the most rewarding feelings on the planet. It's that sort of task they're put towards not free slave labour. Today there's programs where down syndromes run a hotel with a couple of tard wranglers in order to make them able to live a semi decent life. You're rotting away because you choose to and reject any one telling you there's a better path. You're a crab in a bucket dragging others down because you don't want to be lonely in the bucket
>>167888 Oh yes engineering the problem away with eugenics or just being responsible would help. Poor people who are likely to always be poor should not be breeding. People who are already mentally ill or have physical illnesses should also not be breeding.
While men especially these days may get filtered hard if they are defects succubi do not get filtered. So many succubi who have long term mental illness and in the end they all run off and have kids anyway.
Still even if everything is done right and child has good genetics and good home life society could still ruin them. So there are always going to be those people that fall through the cracks that will either have to taken care of or mercilessly eliminated.
I was a neet for over 8 years before my boomer fuck parents said get a job or throw me on the street. They value money over my dignity or safety. Kill all boomers.
>>167927 Yeah talking to others is pretty unwizardly, but as far as I know you basically just work off a script and the answering machine filters like 80% of calls.
>>167922 Over 2 years. >>167927 I know. The one good thing is that you don't have to talk to anyone face to face, which for me is virtually impossible. I'm just talking to "a voice" and repeating the same thing over and over. It's kinda like pretending to be schizo in a way.
>>167952 There are two ways: under the table/shady places or a family business.
But you're right for the most part. I may have gotten through due to it being almost entirely electronic since it said no experience required. It's basically just picking stuff that someone ordered at a grocery store. idk if I'll be fast enough at it, though so I'm terrified but it's not for another two weeks. I went with just 4 hours a day since I probably can't handle more.
>>167952 Labor jobs don't give a shit about your background. They just want people who show up on time and actually work. They are only intrested in your labor so they will generally hire anyone at least once. Though depending on the area and industry if you are a fuck up and make a really bad impression with a contractor they all tend to talk so you probably won't get hired anymore. And when I say fuck up I mean REALLY fuck up. Like not showing up, showing up too high or drunk to work, trying to physically fight the boss, generally acting like a massive jackass, and most importantly not actually doing the damn work assigned to you and just standing/sitting there pissing away time while on the clock. While you might be able to pull that kind of shit in a office job in a labor job they can tell from a glance when you are slacking off.
>>168057 That depends on how formal the hiring process is, because some places will only let people apply online and then it goes through an HR filter first. If it's not super formal they'll hire people known by the other workers first. For an employer, it makes sense to hire people who are desperate and won't screw up over some weirdo.
I haven't seen a lot of jobs where I could just go in and get hired.
If you're just talking day labor, then yeah it might be easier, but it's more physical. I fuck up basic things, so haven't tried that.
