Life as a NEET or a basement dweller isn't bad at all. It's an ideal and comfortable existence. It's not going to last forever, but I want to enjoy my current situation.

The problem is of course that you tend to think about the things you don't have, such as a job, friends and a girlfriend. I try hard to avoid thinking about what is missing in my life, but it's not easy. How do I stop these thoughts?

Congratulations, you want to be a normalfag.

>> No.2294087

I've had friends before, they're not that great. And a job? Why would you want that? I worked at the same place for two years, I felt bad when I quit, but it was well worth it when I could do whatever I liked whenever I wanted.

If that happens, then you're having regrets about it. If you aren't ready to shed your feelings and worldly possessions don't even try to live off as a NEET, you're better off returning to society and enjoying a normal life.

Hurry up and become a normalfag already.

>job
You don't want to work, none does, you just don't want to feel useless.
Do something that makes you feel useful and suddenly this wish will disappear.

>friends
You don't need them to be in flesh, just find some place to chat with some people with your same interests.
No, 4chan doesn't count, I hate you, you hate me, if you don't then get the fuck out.

>girlfriend
This is easy, think about the after.
After you had sex, after you've kissed, etc etc.
Suddenly you'll find your loneliness not so bad.

I'm a girl and I completely agree with the OP, I miss the days of dating and partying and so on.

If you're having those thoughts you're a normalfag. Some of us here are honestly uninterested in society. Jobs suck. Seriously, you have to work your ass off.
Friends are overrated. Most people don't have any real friends, even though they think they do. Most of your "friends" will betray you at the first opportunity.
And last but not least, no normal girl will ever be like your 2d waifu. Most of them are filthy, pig disgusting whores who will cheat you out after your hard-earned money after they broke up with you.

A question: Do you think a girlfriend is the gold standard of achievement?

That goes for all of /jp/.

Is everything else, degrees, friends, money, is it all the preface before the main text, which is getting a girl?

It's not really about the job, girlfriend, etc.

It's about a sense of accomplishment that those things give you.

I wish I could not work, but then how am I supposed to buy a DS? Well shit. I fear that no$gba won't be able to help me forever. And I really believe that this tiny 40 GB HDD won't be enough too...

Random roneryfag here. Honestly, my main objective in life is getting as much money as possible without working my ass off, so I actually have some free time enjoy it. Also, I want to stay healthy. Dying at a young age sucks.

Getting a degree is just a tool for making more money, so it's implicitly important. I don't care about friends, I'm a loner. And I'm not even trying to get a gf. The type I'm interested in simply doesn't exist in the 3d world.

Money is more important than a partner because you can't have a partner if you've starved to death.

Beyond that, nothing effects my emotions so much as the person I want to be with (and thoughts of being together/knowledge and reminders of not being together).

In social interaction i find that the enjoyment i get from it is not worth the time and effort to engage in it.

And jobs steal your money, time, and life.

And girlfriends are useless as masturbation to 2d is infinitely superior.

Find a way of making money at home OP, because trust me, you don't really want any of those things.

You should be educating yourself though, if only informally.

No, not necessarily as it will depend on the person's view of society and his own goals.

A more pertinent question would be: What reason is there for achieving enlightenment if the only thing it brings is a spiral of futility and ultimately the destruction of the will to live?

After all, we no longer live in the Dark Ages where they believed to reach Heaven after enlightenment.

A side effect of even a short time spent as NEET is that you begin to see that a lot of things "normal productive people" do are either nonsensical or outright absurd. The only reason they fail to see the absurdity of things, is because they are too busy compulsively doing them to notice.

>> No.2294274

I have my own goals for my life and I am working to achieve them. They do not, however, involve real life 'friends' or a partner. I do have a job, as I cannot bear being indebted to other people. I did find one that in a field I am interested in, so its not all bad.

Been trying to figure out how to do this for a while now. Problem is, I don't have any sort of marketable skills such as website building. Maybe I'll start selling MMO accounts when new ones are released...

I'm going to college at the moment, but I currently have no actual friends (only talk to two people outside of my family and I havent even met one of them outside of the internets), I've never had a job, and I've never had a girlfriend. I feel so effing ronery at times, but I know that I have it good. I want to remain a basement dweller for as long as I can.

The way I cope with the ronery times is to read a book/visual novel and pretend that I have friends for a bit. Oh, and I find that losing myself in learning things also helps (I take most of my classes online so I can work on my learnings whenever I want).

And my job is bagging groceries at a supermarket, so I'm not exactly successful.
