As dull as life is... it's ten times worse when you feel trapped. Being a wageslave is a walking death. At least now you have the opportunity to either find out what you like doing, or ultimately perceive life as it truly is and either become a monk or kill yourself. This is your chance to cut to the quick of who you are and what reality means.

And yeah, I'm there too. It sucks... but it's sure as hell better than working a meaningless job. All you can do is put one foot in front of the other, again and again, and hope you find somewhere worth going.

Satisfying occupation is important. The true point of lasting happiness with regard to work is somewhere between the NEET and the wagecuck. Probably doing something that is difficult that you are good at and interested in is required for a good life, but only like 20 or 30 hours a week worth, not anywhere close to 40.

If what you're looking for is a gf, get fit, shower daily, and it sounds gay but take care of your skin - exfoliate and moisturize. Also work on your attitude. Women will forgive you for being broke if you're hot and kind of distant but recognize the right times to be sensitive.

A job does help to afford the exfoliants and moisturizers, though.

I used to unconsciously stay awake until 6am every night consuming hours of shitty media so that I had an excuse for sleeping until 4pm, at which I point I could then tell myself 'the days over by 4pm, suppose I should go sit on the computer and relax'
Waking up at a normal time would just lead to all sorts of stress over me not doing anything on the day and overall in life. I'd end up sitting around in silence staring at the wall with all the time and money in the world to do something but get lost in my own day dreams instead, fantasising about conversations I could be having or entire scenarios I could be getting up to if I had friends or a family of my own, theyd only be interrupted by regular depression naps.

I used to do all that unconsciously, now I do it consciously, as I have nothing to do or anything I need to learn. I've tried picking up instruments but I never really enjoyed them or saw a long term use for the hobby, I tried learning a language, I tried more exotic workout routines, I even tried various spiritual practices and drugs but nothing stuck. Fuck I even had this mad idea I was going to bring back a neo-classical form of sculpture, learning from scratch, I ended up buying all sorts of stupid equipment and materials I ended up selling.

I worked like a fucking maniac for a few years and put EVERYTHING else aside for it, to the point I had no friends or other opportunities, sold my company in the summer and now I'm stuck in this cycle of sleeping and sitting on the computer achieving nothing.
I'm 35 years old, almost a millionaire with a few v.profitable investments (start buying car parks) and havent had a girlfriend since I was in my 20s. I just sleep, consume youtube, press refresh on 4chan 1000 times a day.

None taken, youre 23 ffs, thats just as bad if not worse.
When I was 23 I was doing all the meme things 23 years olds are supposed to do like working, going on holidays, switching girls every other month and all that. I've had 2 periods in my life where I disappeared into the online hermit life and they were the comfy late 90s-pre 9/11 period and then a huge gap to the last 2 years, in between I wasnt hanging around shitcoin boards and neither should you.

Theres no good time to be an aimless neet besides retirement but least of all in your youth, of which you have another 3-4 years of, if you get to my age and can only look back on your early 20s and see THIS board then you should deffo top yourself.

God it's crazy seeing people complain about where they're at in life.
I spent much of my 20 either nearly broke, actually homeless, or trudging through school.
Literally for the first time in my life I have my own place to live alone and a decent paying job. Negative net worth and no friends, never had a girlfriend nor an orgasm with another person, wrecked family life, but still don't feel too bad.

Was a neet for 11 years, bounced around my mom, aunt and dad for over a decade. The first year(s) were shit, I can't even remember most of it back then. I was fat, lazy and depressed because I thought I blew my shot at life. Then slowly started developing decent habits, and a good lifestyle. All that you can imagine from someone who has 24 hours of freedom, 12 months a year. But, to get to the end product from being depressed to living like a NEET king took me at least 3-5 years. And now I am 31, last year I relapsed into depression and a existential crisis hard. Got my first job in September, this year and well, I feel like I am back at year 1 of being a NEET again; instead I have job that I am starting to enjoy/like/hate. And my depression is slowly settling.

The road of learning to enjoy a NEET lifestyle and developing yourself is a lot more important than "being a NEET".
Everyone can be a NEET, a homeless person is a NEET. Doesn't mean he is good at it.
And for everyone its going to be different too. In time I'll return to being a NEET again.

I agree with this. I think this is a good and more realistic alternative compared to early retirement as exposed in FIRE in general, especially for yuropoors like me who have low wages compared to ameriburgers and don't come from rich families.

The ultimate problem with neet life is that it isn't so much life as it is a 10-20 year extension on being a teenager. At some point your parents will die or be forced into assisted care. When you are young you think life just ends at 30-40 but it doesn't, if anything you may not even be to the halfway point. If you haven't killed yourself during your moody teenage years, you are even less likely to do so down the road. As others have said, if you have wealth previously that is fine as long as you make no plans to ever reproduce. Without independent wealth you are relying on pure luck or private enterprise, which is just wage cucking for yourself at the end of the day. You do eventually need to plan for something down the road or else you risk being at middle age without any of the basics you should have accrued over the past decade. The sad individuals you see in their 50's + without a pot to piss in working minimum wage did not just fall into that position usually, it was from decades of poor decision making. I recommend a happy medium of wage work with your funds going toward private enterprise and investment to build true wealth. You build a much stronger case for actually being able to retire, and with enough luck and skill you may be able to spend over half of your life in comfortable retirement, just monitoring investments.
