I'm hurting really bad. A year's worth of isolation is taking it's toll. I'd like to get a job, but how hard is it for someone who has been completely isolated except for walks to the grocery store at night for food to be able to get a job? Anyone ever escape and discover a new enjoyable life?

You don't suffer the same disease we do. You're some wannabe who calls himself a hikki because he "has been inside for 2 whole days!"

OP. I wish I had parents who were accepting and understanding and capable of supporting me like a leech on society.

But alas, I'm all alone. And I have to take responsibility soon or I end up out on the street like that anon who posted the other night about his last day with internet access.

It's either take control, or suicide, or homelessness.

Suicide and homelessness are both unfortunately easier. Suicide might be tricky, but as soon as you're over the edge, it's over. Homelessness is just going with the flow. Taking control, you actually have to try hard.

I got a Job, made friends, play games with them.
Nothing has been more enjoyable than what I used to do, all it's given me is less random people to play Tekken with and make me curse under my breath at how 4 3D Wimminz I were kind of interested in turned out to all have Boyfriends, two are cunts, one does nothing but ask for sex, and one can't even get a fucking boner, most people believe is because he can't get hard because he's a Pedophile and/or closet gay in denial (allegedly)

Then I come home and just remember that Azusa is the only Angel in my life and nothing's changing that.

What skills do you have OP?

>> No.3898970

>>3898941
I'm a good programmer, started at a young age, but I don't have my degree. I dropped out of university in third year.

To be honest, I've never applied and gotten a job traditionallu, every job in the past I've gotten by word of mouth, back when I had something of a social network. And the jobs I've had were kind of temporary crap low-key junior web developer jobs, not something that really capatilized on my skillset.

But that all dried up. Not sure how to start over. Not sure if I could get another software dev related job, something that paid better. Afraid of all of the rejection and having to explain why they should hire me despite not having finished my degree.

I've never had a retail/service/sales job before. I tried applying when I was fresh out of highschool years ago, but after dozens and dozens of application forms and resumes, I only got two interviews and was never hired. Not sure if I'd fair differently now that I at least look a bit older. I don't have any experience with a regular job though.

>> No.3898971

Being a NEET isn't just about isolating yourself, it's about living with that isolation, depression and self loathing. You expect sympathy or even advice? this is not the place to do it, any real NEET would be much further down the path then you are and just spiraling downwards.

Try one and you'll probably be wanting to go back to school in a heartbeat.

Which might be a fine idea. Why not finish up what you started?

>> No.3898997

Go to the grocery store you visit at night and get a job as a stock boy. They'll take anyone for that job because it's hours are like 4am every day. Minimal human interaction and you're working so you have a higher self esteem.

I don't want to be a NEET. I don't want to be isolated anymore. I was hoping there would be someone who had escaped. Essentially, I'm at the fork of the road where I either start accepting it and go with the flow, or figure out a way to get the fuck back on track.

Tens of thousands of dollars in debt because of it, so I can't get additional student loans to finish. And so I'd have to get a job. Thinking about declaring bankruptcy actually, but that wouldn't clear my student loan debt for another 4 years (the collection period lasts 7 years altogether since the time you last attended school).

When you get a job you might make acquaintances, but you'll quickly get over the bullshit and go back to glorious 2D that you don't have to pretend to like, which is more than I can say for 3D.

Going back to uni may be a good option if you can. Going for an easier course may be beneficial if you can get a good degree.

If that's not an option, picking up some .NET skills should make you pretty employable. Write a CV and put it up on some large employment agency websites. Your old uni's career service will help you if you tell them you studied there. This will seriously help. If you can't face using the phone, send them an email explaining your situation in broad terms and ask for advice.

Take it one step at a time and don't think too much.

Having been on this shit for almost 3 years and slowly recovering. I've seen and experienced stuff I couldn't believe it was posible (1 month without a shower? You're small time anon). When you wake up one day and wonder what your own shit tastes like because you've barely eaten for a month and then you eat it, you know you've lost it.

Start small, don't rush anything. Set priorities and complete one before moving on the next. I don't care if you're a god at multitasking, just do 1 at a time.
Don't be ashamed to ask for help.

I'm not sure what I should feel for you guys that go with this for years. Hell, few years ago for three months only things I said were "Yes" and "Uhm". That nearly killed me, if it wasn't for my friends who dragged me out of my house to actually do something I wouldn't be here right now.

I spent two years in isolation after dropping out from college. To be honest, getting a job wasn't all that hard after a shave and a haircut. Most people won't even notice the regressive state of your social conduct and merely assume that you're either shy or just quiet.

>> No.3899242

>>3899003
This is the sad truth, OP. You're not going to find anyone here who knows how to rescue you. If they're on here they either haven't tried, or they tried and failed.

And from experience, we can tell you: some try, all fail.
