/biz/ how are you supposed to get through life if you have no goals? i have no motivation or reason to do anything, i've been a NEET for the past ~3 years after dropping out of university because i was doing badly. parents keep pressuring me to go back to school or get a wagecuck job but i have no desire to. what's the point? all im going to be doing is suffering just to do what im doing now, except at least now i have all the free time in the world. money, sex, fame, helping humanity, personal satisfaction, etc. doesn't motivate me in the least. i dont see a world where im happy

wake up out of your self inflicted teenage syndrome and realise the world is a rich place with too many opportunities to live and love. Experience, find love, have kids. Find your dreams and goals and have fun pursuing them. Do this with knowledge of your own death and God as Christ and you will have nothing but joy for all eternity.

Or you can fucking moan and shit. wake up kid.

Just gotta make the most of it, anon. I once had a very cool life as the front man of a touring indie band on the up and up. I got fucked by several industry people, then my bandmate, and wound up having to get a real job. I make six figures now (which is more than I ever made as a musician, honestly). I don't care about my job but it's not so bad. I have a beautiful wife and child. I have a nice house. One day, maybe I'll come into some big money and I'll get to focus on hobbies and not worry about working jobs I don't care about... but if that never happens, so be it... because one day, I'll die. And everyone dies. I am pretty meaningless, I've come to realize, and that's ok. I just need to make the most out of every day. That's all I can really do.

Your life is not yours to control, there are too many external variables which play a role in what happens to you. The sooner you realize this, the sooner you'll just go with the flow and accept what comes and goes. Happiness or not, it doesn't really matter in the end.

life is a process of self discovery. if you dont set yourself small goals that give you satisfaction then why leech on your parents? that is not what grown men are supposed to do. you probably don't exercise and you probably live in a boring bubble. take a risk for once.

You gotta realize you're free. Even if the universe doesn't give a fuck about us, if life is unfair and utterly meaningless, you're still free to enjoy it. Go read some Albert Camus, he talks a lot about that, the absurd of an empty existence and how that makes us free from the weight of it all.

Realize that the world is not grey, it's full of color and it's the best if you enjoy it and have fun in it.

You can do it, anon.
Also you could go see a psychologist, one that makes you feel comfy, it can help a lot.

This is unironically hell. You will keep being reincarnated and miserable unless you get your vibrations right. Anxiety and depression are selfish states only focusing on you. Learn to love others do good deeds for the sake of doing them and you will feel better. Understand the importance of 3, 6, and 9

the things i enjoy doing are the things i do as a neet. i dont have any desire to do anything else other than browse the internet, play vidya, sleep and eat shitty junk food. why is that not ok? why am i forced to slave away most of my life and get some scraps of free time here and there? im not even asking for very much yet it's apparently far too much

And while most wagecuck jobs disproportionately benefit the employer, pic related shows how it doesn't make sense for it not to be so

For to those who are perishing, the preaching of the cross is foolishness, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written:

“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”

Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has God not made the wisdom of this world foolish?

how old are you?
enjoying vidya and the interwebz is not bad per se, sleeping is obviously needed, and eating junk is well, not good for you.

You're not forced to anything, not to wageslave your life away, not to be 'succesful' and get a family and a job, you're not really forced to do anything.
The only thing that's forcing you is your own mind, not even your parents. Your parents and society as a whole can only point and pressure you into following a certain path but its YOU who ultimately decides wether to take it or not.

Are you 100% satisfied with your life? Be honest with yourself, if you are, fuck everyone else, it doesnt matter what they say.
I suspect, however, that you're not, otherwise you wouldn't be making this posts, so think about what else would Anon be proud of himself to do (idk, things like make a painting, climb a mountain, have sex with 100 girls in a year, idk, whatever), and then think about what you need to change or improve in your life to achieve that

Thats as much advice as I can give you, but its up to you to take action.
You could start by talking with a professional, face to face, its 100s of times more effective and you can expand a lot more into what brought you into this state of despair.

Don't worry Anon, I think it was John Lennon who said that everything's gonna be altight in the end, and if its not alright, then its not the end.

I myself would be content with a million dollars invested in something generating me enough passive income to be able to unironically just watch youtube and play league of legends, but, and a big BUT, I would still be proud of myself if I finally went to a music school and learnt how to make music and git gud at the piano.
I would feel inmensely proud of myself, even if I just do it to feel good and not to actually start making music and playing the piano everyday.
My current situation dictates that I cant do that right now, and wagecucking is the simplest method to survive until I grow my investments enough to finally 'make it', that doesnt mean Im wasting my life away, it feels more like as if I had a fucking big ship and it took a long time to steer it somewhere else.

Im not sure what to do.
In order to move to japan, i would need to marry a japanese girl in under a 100 days. But, love cant form that fast.

Is anyone familiar with the japanese immigration policy? If i bought a house in japan, i could still only be there a 100 days a year right?

Thats really great! I mean it!

The first time I went with one I was very nervous, I had rehearsed what I would say and how Id say it, but then the moment I sat in the room with her she asked me something I absolutely didn't expect and that took the conversation in a more natural way.

If you dont feel comfortable or like you dont connect with that person, feel free to try with someone else.
There's also different schools of thought that can have different techniques and different timeframes, I myself am a fan of cognitive-behavioral therapy, I think its fast and works really well to solve specific issues.
Unlike say, psychoanalysis, which can take years and years to create a picture of you as a whole.

Start meditating daily. 20 minutes is fine as a start, 1 hour is a goal. Actualized.org has some good videos on the subject.
If you enjoy playing video games, look up ways to do that for a living, whether that be competition, streaming or making games. It might not be perfectly suited to your lifestyle but it's better than nothing.

You feel miserable because you have nothing to satisfy your power process.
I was a neet for 3-4 years (not by choices but because I was ill) and now I'm back in med school.

Being a NEET is a soul crushing experience, your drive to do anything shrinks to basically nothing and you isolate yourself more and more making the possibility of coming back to active society something very fear inducing.

I don't know you, how smart you are, what are your interests, etc... Only advices I can give you are that :
- the more you wait the harder it will get
- effort and discomfort are what make things good in life, they are the contrast needed for good emotions to happen.
- escapism through video games/anime/series/porn/books will only make you more miserable, they will never satisfy your primal desire for intimacy with a woman, belonging to a group or being respected/approved by other people in society, they sure won't satisfy your needs for self actualisation either.

Now noone can tell you what to do with your life, that's something only you can tell. That said if you don't now and someone propose you a job then go for it, I personnally worked in a factory for few months and that's what make me think about live gave me the drive and the taste to go back studying again. I needed something socially uncomfortable to happen to me to restart the engine.
