/jp/ - Otaku Culture

epic as always

i got sensodyne today in hopes that i could drink water but now that i get home and check online i see the other type of sensodyne that i put back has novamin in it and will react with saliva to form a layer on teeth

i think i made the wrong decision what should i do

>>11853435
shameful

>>11853430

>>11853461
nothing beats the classic

It's true. I finally escaped about two years ago. I still come back here once every few months just to see and remember where I once was--where I once felt trapped.

Now I've pretty much gone full normalfag, and it wasn't that hard. The main thing I realized was: I'm a white male of average means living in America. Other people have actual things holding them back, whereas I had all the cards to live life on Easy Mode if I wanted. What was my excuse?

Self-sage for /blog/. You can do it, /jp/.

>>11853435
Is this the blog thread? I went grocery shopping today. As I was walking down the aisle and passing two little girls, one put her mouth to the other's ear and then put a hand up to her ear in a whispering gesture, and began whispering to her. I immediately began thinking they were whispering about me, perhaps at my hair which was a bit messy or what my pants were too tight.

There was also a slightly older girl there wearing a school uniform at the store. She was there with her mother and brother. The girl wasn't attractive, but her skirt was attractive. Her brother greeted me as I passed with some Oreos, and then he went to get some as well.

And then finally on the way out I had forgotten to get cash to buy girlscout cookies with. I always feel so bad whenever I have to walk past them and not buy any of their cookies. Poor girls.

>>11853465
NEET life is short but the memories stay

>>11853464
Why does everyone post this QUALITY gif? It's not even that badly drawn. At least post QUALITY van or something.

>>11853470
Indeed. Some of the memories are peaceful, worth treasuring. But others are a source of fear and I use them drive me forward.

>>11853465
>You can do it, /jp/.

Do what, gaysmile?

>>11853474
It. Clearly.

>>11853474
break free.

>>11853465
You can blabber all the nicety bullshit but deep down you're looking down on us.

>>11853477
How is becoming a normie wage slave breaking free?

>>11853477
How could a man be so dissatisfied with freedom that he willingly puts himself in chains? It makes no sense.

>>11853470
lets be honest. if not for money, neet life is paradise.

>>11853465

So what, did you get a job or something?

Jobs are scary and I hate dealing with people, I can't imagine being around people more than my few classes a week. I would have no free time to take it easy. Although taking it easy is hard sometimes with almost no money.

>>11853486
Honestly disagree. I'm >>11853465, and no one else who has responded to the various "hurr durr wage slave" bait has been me. I have learned to enjoy doing things with large groups of people and which benefit other large groups of people. I founded a company that helps charities do their jobs a bit more effectively, and I get to hear all the time about the types of work they do and the people they help. When they thank me for making their efforts a tad bit easier, it makes my day.

>>11853492
See: >>11853493.
I made my own job, doing what I want. If I REALLY don't feel like doing anything for a day or two mid-week, I don't have to.

>>11853493
its great you help people but i dont see how being out there in the rat race makes life better. like i said, people need money so eventually neet life has to end. but if you won the lottery, you wouldn't go back?

>>11853495
Go suck a blueberry cock normie

>>11853497
>but if you won the lottery, you wouldn't go back?
At this point, two years on, I feel like a completely different person and here's what would likely happen:
I would "go back" for a while, and then get utterly bored and anxious to get doing things again. I might travel a bit, but I would always have half of my mind on find a new problem to solve for people, a new challenge to overcome. It would be a temporary break, not a permanent state of affairs.

My lifestyle is pretty spartan as it is. Happiness can be bought for the price of a bottle of wine and a friend's conversation. I make more than I need already, but I'm not really working because I have to, but because I'm interested in what I'm doing. Hell it might even be unhealthy: I don't want to leave my project half-finished.

you dont have to get a job to make money

>>11853506

Give me a job faggot stop hogging all the jew gold

I want to buy blu-rays and girls clothes

>>11853493
Don't assume we're all like you who gains satisfaction from being in social situations. To put it another way, if it were the end of the world and society has crumbled, you'd be the type person who would desperately try to rebuild it. People like me on the other hand wouldn't care about that and just survive like lone wolves, living life on the edge.

>>11853507
Indeed. Especially if you live in a western country. There's money practically lying around, so much so that it's almost a joke to call it "work" to obtain it.

>>11853507
>>11853511
Teach me the ways of free money

>>11853513
Steal something
Sell it for profit
Buy one or more things
Sell it for profit

You don't really have to steal if you don't want. You don't have to buy stuff if you don't want either.

>>11853510
I'm not assuming anything. If anything, I'm challenging your assumption that a person is a one-dimensional, static entity. You seem to think "I am the way I am, and that can never change." I assert that you can. Maybe you don't want to, and that's fine. We all get our own choices here. However don't let it be said that anyone is stopping you besides you.

As for why I claim to understand? I used to be that way. I hid in my room for several years. I almost failed out of college, and I remember having the realization once that the only person I had said a word to all month was the lunch lady at the cafeteria. That was a fucking dark time and I never want to go back there.

After a while I engaged in the "happier" side of NEET-dom and learned a musical instrument, read obsessively, and got really good at origami. By and by I felt confidence in my ability to do those minor things and I was less afraid to talk to people, even if it was only about origami at first. There's more to the story, but my point remains: people are not static entities. You were not born knowing how to tie your shoes, nor were you born knowing how to type on a keyboard. You can learn to deal with social interactions, even if they stress you out. They still stress ME out many times.

Most of the interaction I do is over email or the like. When I said a charity "thanks me for making their efforts easier", I didn't mean face-to-face. Not by any means.

>>11853520
did you ever talk to lolis about origami

>>11853520
Go write a book faggot

>>11853520
>stopping
I stop myself from screaming every time I talk not because I really want to but have to hold it in out of consideration or fear, but because screaming every time is dumb.

Have you ever considered that people have experienced your situation but in reverse? They were gloomy and miserable where you are happy and happy when you where miserable. You assume everyone has been a "shut-in loser" from day 1 but that's where you're wrong.

Speaking of money, I've been thinking of turning an old computer into some sort of ad-driven money making machine. I'd install passive-income programs on it and let it sit while I rake in the pennies.

It's too early to change my hikikomori ways.

>>11853520
can I pay you money to never post here again
it would definitely be worth it

>>11853520
>hid in my room for several years
>almost failed out of college
did u take online course, thanks for future responses.

>>11853520
The easiest way to fail to have a good life is to worry about having a good life.

Do you really want to be like this guy who needs to publicly blog on /jp/ of all fucking places that he's "not a loser anymore"?

>>11853535
haha great. i really enjoyed that one.

I wish I could go back to being a neet

having a job is horrible. I only spend money on things I wouldnt have needed if I didn't have a job. Now I know why "truneets" are a thing, I will probably end up killing myself.

>>11853513

autismbux is a hell of a drug

>>11853520

>You can learn to deal with social interactions, even if they stress you out.

not him but not all neets have social anxiety. i'm just a misanthrope.

I'm going to troll this thread now.

everyone please stop replying to this fucking normie with his epic ruse about how much better he is then all off you because he helps people for a living

>>11853560
wow who made you squad captain?

everytime i think of getting a job i see a post like >>11853549 and i get scared
i was just today thinking of seeing if i could work at a local videogame store. i went in there today and there was just a little old lady inside she was like 4 feet tall and could barely speak. she works there full time and probably owns the shop and today told me shes been there for 17 years. they also sell anime and figures and game soundtracks and stuff but they mostly specialize in pre-sixth generation games and consoles

>>11853569
arnt squads are normally led by an sergeant, and then captains run the platoon?

>>11853560
Your thread was dead on arrival-HOLY SHIT DID YOU JUST SAGE, HOW DO YOU DO THAT?

>>11853579
That place sounds awesome.

>>11853466
I think so. That was an excellent story.

I started watching this. I should be bored out of my skull but for some reason I can't help but laugh and keep watching at how proper/ladylike they act and how serious they get.

Was she wearing a traditional catholic school girl uniform?

>>11853532
Whatever you do you're not making any significant amount of money with that thing. The amount of electricity you waste will outnumber whatever you end up doing, even with the most profitable activity I can think of that works like you're thinking, being mining bitcoin.

I guess you could run Hentai@Home and get a bunch of fake Exhentai money.

>>11853569
That's a mean akari. I would listen.

>>11853579
That's nice. Just say it, "Are you hiring"? She's a nice little old lady.

>>11853579
I remember watching some sort of a documentary about corporate slaves being bullied to hell by their bosses, there was this burger flipper who gets threatened on-cam for not having the trash taken out, to think that there's someone who could bully you around and there's nothing you can do to retaliate really scares me.
I already told my mom I'm getting a job next week so she would stop bothering me, I just have to stay in the park for the whole afternoon next Monday.

>>11853579
Don't worry about it if you are applying at a nice place like that, im the person you replied to and part of the reason why it probably seems so bad for me is because my job is horrible. I won't go into detail, but if there really is no alternative and you have to get a job, working at somewhere like that probably won't be so bad. One thing I would recommend though is just to start with small hours. Going from NEET to 30+ hours a week will kill you inside. I would go for 20 maximum if possible

>>11853591
>>11853590
i like the place and i really dont want to see it go under (which seems inevitable) but i dont want to know that i have a job every day even if i am getting paid for it. i dont want to wake up and think that i have something to do ever again. it just reminds me of my school days. i bought my gameboy sp from there when they came out because they were the only ones who had it in stock and i remember there being nothing around that area back then

Some guy who turned around his life is sharing his life experience and wisdoms and of course /jp/ is having the kneejerk reaction of buttjelly and mad to anyone that lives a more fulfilling life than them. Predictable. Everyone's fedora here is too tight.

I got a job 3 months ago. I'm the only men in the office and I don't think I can handle it. Their contempt for an unattractive, shy and somewhat incompetent male is real and terrifying.

I don't want to do this anymore ;_;

>>11853607
Yeah, like you're not wearing one right now for being too cool for both sides, faglord.

>>11853605
If someone was going to bully me I would just say "n-no bully pls" and see how that works out.

epin

>>11853607
get out of /jp/

so does anyone want to make that pact or not already.

>>11853618
Actually I'm don't care about divisive concepts like "sides" anymore since I've matured both spiritually and emotionally. No fedora on my head, though I would say that I do feel "euphoric" though, but in the good way.

>>11853623
Use this next time.

>>11853628
Has there ever been a documented case of online groups meeting up to kill themselves?

why the fuck do you assume /jp/ ruins lives?
/jp/ motivated me to learn Japanese.

>>11853634
I'm also spiritually advanced but I just can't see myself participating in society.

>>11853591
I and I'm sure many many others as well have spent hours thinking about how to set up a passive income stream with an unused computer or something. Blog roll referral rings, *coin mining, youtube adsense, etc, it just really doesn't work. Even if your internet and electricity is paid for how much could you collect a month, at most $20-25?

It seems to actually make money you have to be active, like being a cute girl streaming or having a successful webcomic. I've thought about how much money those social justice kickstarter scams bring in but even that would take a bit of effort to setup and ensure you're tracks were covered.

>>11853607
Whats wrong with being a NEET? Not everyone has the lucky circumstances that enable them to be able to find work that they enjoy and gives them such a fucking clean conscience.

>>11853640
How is learning a dead language improving your life

>>11853645
man it gets funnier every time you post it

>>11853649
That wasn't a joke

>>11853639
Don't do this. This is a lie that emotionally immature NEETs and hikkis tell themselves due to their lack of life experience. Trust me, I know firsthand. For me at age 26 It took a session of heavy opium and kratom use to finally achieve that "eureka" moment that would signify the end of my NEET days and the beginning of a new prosperous one.

>>11853591
Not a catholic uniform, at least I don't think so. I don't know what kind of top she had on but it was navy. Her skirt was also navy and pleated. She wore tight black pants under it.

There's one K-6 christian school that I know of, but it's basically in the middle of nowhere. Corporal punishment is still used on the kids, and I think there's a room where they're sent to and locked in if they're especially bad. The uniforms are pretty cute for that school too. It's a shame it's churning out nothing but sluts.

>>11853653

>>11853645
What would you consider a life improvement?

learning to sail?

>>11853628
Only if we do it via a literally once-in-a-lifetime live-action play of The King In Yellow on Broadway

>>11853651
The reason I am spiritually advanced is because I too, took a lot of really funny drugs and had breakthroughs. I don't think everyone is going to realize the same things, though.

>>11853657
Man you still didn't even answer my question

>>11853654
i already learned to sail
just ask your mom she's seen my seamen

>>11853663
Don't you mean ``swallow your seamen?

>>11853642
>like being a cute girl streaming
It's so unfair that cute girls can get away with anything and even get money just for having good genes. You don't have to have interesting fresh content to talk about. You don't need to be good at games you're streaming. You don't even need to do anything. People would want to see you just because you look good. If you had some good shit to talk about or was even somewhat decent at games your subscribers would centuple in no time.

If there was any real privilege in this world it would be genetic privilege.

>>11853662
Just let me troll you.

>>11853671
you can swallow my seamen if you want, yeah

I worry about and spend actual time thinking about the wellbeing of Hikkis/NEETs on /jp/. It makes me sad thinking about what would happen if they had to give up their lifestyle and were forced into the outside world.

is this normal?

There seems to be a really strong connection between Catholic school and people ending up as drug addicts or sluts.

Where do you people keep finding pictures of this guy?

I don't think it's the same guy from the josh/trevor picture, but still did you just go find someone's blog or something who happened to look like that?

>>11853672
I can't find the youtube video I wanted. Some (cute) dyke'ish girl ranting about feminism and how females have more PRIVILEGE because nature is like that. Point is of course guys want to see cute girls and not some guy play video games, of course people will adore cute girls on the internet for nothing, it's just nature, you do it to. Tough shit you're a guy though, at least statistically chances are you're probably smarter than most females though.

>>11853681
Reply for you.

Same. I bet it feels good.

If you mean "Is this a view held by a relatively large percentage of individuals" than no, I guess it isn't

theres this dissonance between neets and hikkis claiming to have won over the system and being free and the myriad posts talking about how depressed or suicidal they are.

then again, it also seems to be the case with people who work

If only there was a way to have a middle ground between working so much you hate your life and working so little you hate your life.

Shame that how society is that the people that work work their asses off and the people that don't don't get to have anything to do.

my body man, my whole body is failing on me. heed my words neets... at least take care of your body. this not only includes diet and some physical activity but also an active refusal to succumb to stress since that will do really nasty things to you over time.

oh god i love the cock

>>11853757
A lot of people I've seen are not happy with their jobs. They have to work to feed their families or to maintain social norms or for whatever reasons and they are miserable.

Then there are those who genuinely enjoy what they do, maybe its helping others or they have a fun job or a nice boss and accommodating workplace. These cases seem to be fewer.

Others still are in the middle, they don't hate or love their jobs, its just a means to survive for them. Maybe they pursue hobbies or whatever off the job and thats where they get their enjoyment.

Its definitely the same with NEETs not all are depressed shut-ins. What could be argued however is how much their happiness so to speak is affected by not being employed, and in what ways, such as lack of money or ``validation''. You could also debate whether the percentage of NEETs who are satisfied with their lives is compared to those who are employed.

>>11853778
One of these is not like the others.

I really hate working but I do like having money for things I can't pirate. I haven't had any money for a while, and the few ways I've found to make money online are neither reliable nor much better than regular work. I really don't want to start working again though.

>>11853705
Are you me?

I want to hear NEET stories!

I want to talk with NEETs and listen to their opinions and learn about NEET adventures but other boards are too slow.

/jp/ convinced me I should try the friendless NEET life and now I can't get out.

A year and a half ago I quit my neet lifestyle. My parents couldn't afford to have me walled up in my room all day doing nothing, so I was sent into therapy for 3 months to my anxiety.
Then I was handed a job and now I'm back in college which feels extremely weird after having been out of school for 5 years or so. Still extremely anxious, got no friends, all former friends avoid me because I'm miserable all of the time and altogether I'm just not happy.
Schools are strict where I live and because I've got 14 sick days for this school year so far, I'm close to being thrown out. 14 days is a miracle number for me, so while I'm proud of myself for being able to show up more often than I have for years, I'm really stressed because I know that one more sick day could get me thrown out.
I feel like a massive failure.

>>11853824
I don't think so. We might have similar mindsets though, are a a nonNEET who wishes to be NEET?

>>11853826
neet story:
today I took a shit and it didn't flush
left it there for most of the day
woke up in the middle of the night to piss and it smelled
now it's the morning and I am tempted to flush it again

>>11853835
that sucks, you shouldn't feel like a failure, you could always see the dean or whatever and explain your circumstances.
>>11853841
thats gross, flush it and if it doesnt work get a plunger.

>>11853845
usually when this happens I just shit until the bowl is like 2/3 full and pour drain cleaner on top of the turds and seal it up by closing the lid for a day or so

>>11853837
I'm not a NEET but I'd consider myself more of a pseudo-hikki. I'm going to community college and have a part time job, but ultimately I do my best to seclude myself. I really do find happiness and solace in my isolation. I'm able to immerse myself in my hobbies and art. And I don't have to worry about putting up any fronts or playing by anyone else's rules. For some full fledged NEETdom can honestly be a paradise, but I unfortunately need to be able to support myself.

Imagine, just about one year ago today, a typical ``NEET'' thread, I find it amusing that people complaining about such threads were the ones who were censored.

>>11853880
me.

>>11853880

Hi.

>>11853867
Yeah, at this point introverted would probably be a better way to put it.
>>11853874
Not gonna deny I wish I could be part of your club. I go out of my way to avoid people and social interaction. I work in the back at my job and take online classes or classes where I know there won't be any group work. I basically just force myself through this, which is why I worry for my truNEETs/hikkis who may one day have to be thrown into this. They all deserve just to take it easy.

>>11853891
...

>>11853892
So you're the other Hikki? I see.

>>11853901
Is that what being a Hikki is all about? Taking it easy?

>>11853887
>>>/jp/thread/S11434104

I remember this thread. You're right that was good.

>>11853877
I'm sure there's a lot more than that.

How strict are we taking the hikki definition though? You stay inside for months and then go out for one day and you're not hikki anymore?

>>11853907
If you go outside more than once a month you're probably not a hikikomori. If you talk to anyone on your trips it's an instant fail.

There have always been two types of NEET. One seems genuinely happy and content living a life with a dim future and minimal social interactions.

The other is pretty much the opposite in that they long first and foremost for social interaction. Most everything in their life is governed by their desire for interaction. Following that they would like a promising future, which usually means worrying about entering schooling or training of some sort eventually in the future. Finally, they're discontent with the labels society has put on them and would like to change their lives for the "better".

Disgusting people, that second group. They really are the lowest of the low. Especially all the people here wanting to get a job, longing for friends outside and being depressed about their NEET lifestyle. Just die already if you are so sad about your NEET life.

>>11853826
here again, sorry to bother you all, I just find it fascinating that there are real life honest to goodness NEETs out there, I understand the concept but, its hard to explain, I almost can't wrap my head around it.

Its like those ``undiscovered peoples'' like the tribes deep in the congo that have never been contacted by outsiders for centuries or whatever. It seems impossible for them to exist in this day and age but they are out there. Whats it like?

I am a normalfag, I admit it. I don't condone your lifestyle or anything like that, I am just extremely curious about the whole deal as I have been leading a typical normie life of schooling and full-time employment. The closest thing I've experienced would be summer vacations(not claiming that counts as partial-NEET or whatever, just an example).

Is that an apt comparison, is it like those seemingly endless summer days? Do you have anxiety about them ending, do you think you can be a NEET forever? I realize many are dependent on their families but then there are those who are living on the bux or some other circumstances that allow them to be somewhat independent.

I understand the difference between hikiomori and NEET but of course they seem to overlap quite a bit. I've seen a few here who go outside regularly, such as riding their motorbike or claiming to run at night for exercise. I wonder if there is a significant amount of outdoorsy type NEETs, those who go hiking and camping and such. Its not too expensive at all if you buy your gear used and have time plenty of time to travel on bike or something.

Theres a lot I want to ask and discuss but I hope I don't come off as bothersome with my questions, like some kind of interrogator.

I'm went from being a NEET to a slave working for pennies. 10 unites states dollars an hour, all for what? To just give it right back for "rent"

This is a very clever system that we are trapped within. Bravo Jews, or whoever created this.

It's different from summer vacation, you don't really lose contact with society from that. Imagine doing that for years of your life instead of 3 months.

A side effect from this that I never had before, is when I do interact with strangers outside my house now I get an involuntary release of adrenaline through me and I can't help it, even if mentally I am not nervous at all over the fact of interacting with them. It gets harder to breathe, you talk fast, get shaky, and people wonder what's wrong with you.

Most other people go to college or work and see no big deal, but the longer you stay disconnected from society, the harder it is to re-enter. Going to college or getting a job after years of this, and being expected to interact normally with people, is not easy.

But it gets better eventually. Practice makes perfect, and all that. But of course you know.

Sometimes I get nervous even when I'm only having an anonymous online conversation.
