/jp/ - Otaku Culture

>>41931130
This is /jp/ anon. Better to ask
>Who not NEET here?

NEAT

>>41931240
But nearly everyone on /jp/ has a job. I remember reading the /jp/ neet thread that was made here and everyone admitted they had a job.

Oresama ga NEET here.

>>41931130
I haven't been outside since February, yet I'm not officially a NEET since I have to do shitty remote work that makes barely any money.
The world is fucked up, I tell you.

>>41932140
because NEET doesnt mean jobless, its another term for otaku
you fuckers will make up anything just to keep your loser secret club status

>>41934184
NEET quite literally means "Not in Education, Employment, or Training".

>>41934184
woah, looks like I'm just an otaku of unemployment then
I'll tell my mom not to worry

>>41934676
then explain why say in an anime with a character that likes to be alone and play games gets called a neet even if theyre in school or work
word definitions change over time and neet is no different yet you pathetic fucks will chant "no its a fake neet real neets pee in bottles"

>>41934750
>pee in bottles
Back in my day we pissed on the floor.
Anyway, look it up. It's not a Japanese term.

>>41934750
NEET isn't even a japanese term, it's from the UK

>>41934829
>>41934764
then why is it on /jp/

>>41931130
What is that cat's name?

>>41931130
Hello friend, the only neet on /jp/ reporting in

>>41934750
Pretty sure it's said in the same way that people call each other retard when they make something stupid, not necessarily trying to point out that someone fits the clinical definition of a retard.
Words being used under different contexts do not change its original or intended/proper meaning.
Being "high as fuck" doesn't mean that you are flying.

>>41935190
its the 2ch kot

what a shit fucking thread
once in a while i visit this dumpster of a board to see if there's maybe at least one thread that can tickle my testicles like in the old days, but i always leave disgusted and disappointed

>>41938081
Don't fret anon I can still tickle your testicles

>>41931130
I'm a faggot from Wriggle thread from few months ago, I doubt that anyone remembers it but tl;dr I was happy because things were going in direction of getting some job.
It went nowhere, nobody answers to my job applications and due to me being a massive retard I also screwed myself from getting any social support till end of this year.
Family considers me a failure and I'm genuinely embarrassed to ask for help.
I have like a dollar on my bank account and empty wallet. I don't even have money to buy rope to hang myself. If not winter and few hobbies keeping me at home, I would probably go and jump from our local bridge.

mom found the poopsock

>>41939598
Anon, I wish you a speedy recovery and a bright future ahead of you.

Perhaps even some porn-grade sex sometime in the future.

I do have some practical advise to give you, one that can be applied both in your current state AND when you're in a better situation. Life really is about perspective. I'm not talking about "seeing the full part of the glass" or any Chinese fortune cookie stuff. Rather, much of your enjoyment will come on how you look at things. Can you believe there are people out there who are massively successful yet still unhappy?

>>41939598
Here's an example of a perspective: you have an entire free week, of which you can fill with any activity you want. So you do that. Right about every day is filled with movies, games and fitness. From the outside, one may interpret that as you being "cluttered" with no free time, and you go to bed exhausted. But you know better. You're cramming as much fun in one day as possible, then you fall asleep pleasantly exhausted, knowing you'll get your second cake too.

Right now, you are in an excellent position to do the above (and any other hobbies) for 3 reasons: you're not pressured into anything, and your relatives aren't pressuring you into anything. If you missed a train, do you stamp your foot until the next one arrives? That's a gigantic waste of time. Someone telling you to not enjoy anything between the trains is somehow even dumber than someone who missed the train.

And Anon, people aren't gonna complain jack shit about you if they see / hear you doing fitness and your hobbies in the evening.

>>41939598
>due to me being a massive retard
What is it that you feel you are doing so wrong? Do struggle with being articulate?

>>41934184
Go fill my fridge.

>>41934750
you are retarded anon

why is there a poopsock and piss drawer but no poop drawer maybe its time to be a trailblazer

>>41939598
tomokofaggot

>>41931130
Yes.

I wish I could be a neet.
but I don't want to disappointed my family.

Yeah, I uh, got a job. I wanted to buy figures and other useless stuff.

11 years and still going

>>41931130
Faggots here are more likely to be a wannabe NEET's
I kinda wonder how many legit hikikomori do we have here

>>41950913
They're still around, but it's true the past few NEET threads have people who are more just reclusive workers than legitimate hikki.

I have a chronic health condition that makes it difficult to leave the house. I haven't worked a real job in my entire life and I'm 25 now, soon to be 26. I've barely spoken to anyone since middle school since I was homeschooled, and have no friends either in real life or online.

It's easy to glorify being neet/hikki when you're young, since you think you're not like most other people and can handle the isolation. But as you start to get older it does eventually take it's toll on you, as you realize you have less and less options for getting yourself out of it. Even your online friends will either end up living some degree of a normal life, or collapsing under stress and have a mental break, acting nothing like who they were before and eventually gensokyo themselves or just delete their online presence.

It's a pretty common story, but yeah as you get older it does get pretty depressing, especially once you stop feeling fulfillment from the things you like. Honestly I'd hope most legitimate hikki's at least end up trying to be failed normalfags than living a lonely life of isolation like I've ended up with, it's not anything to be envious of.

>>41950913
HikkiNEET for 9 years, never graduated high school, living off of trust fund bucks and inheritance. It's not so bad, I've never understood people complaining about loneliness. Being around other people is much worse. Main issue is boredom and burnout, at which point I have to try and find other hobbies to occupy my time.
Money will last another 12-15 years being frugal, after which I have legitimately no other choice but to kill myself. I'd never land a job or even be able to mentally withstand it. Wanted to try out investing but when you're gambling your entire life on it it can be a frightening prospect.

>>41953312
>I've never understood people complaining about loneliness
After the first 2 years you get use to it
>>41950913
I'm not a hikki anymore just a NEET

>>41940227
If you're the dingbat who inherited 100k, please stfu

>>41939598
There are a lot of jobs where they don't give a shit if you're a sperg with no job history. They'll treat you like a machine and if you can be a good machine that doesn't groan or break down like the others, your boss might even come to appreciate you a little. Five years ago, I got a job like this and coasted into my 30s. Now I'm realizing I'll have to go into a profession and get a decent salary if I ever want to have a hope of living independently, but I shudder to think of where I'd be today if I hadn't got this job. What I mean to say is that life is going to kick your ass sooner or later. When that happens it will be worse than you could have imagined, so do whatever it takes to be prepared for it.

>>41950913
We exist. My life sucks.
Playing vidya and consuming media all day, barely eat, never go anywhere. The most productive thing I do is trading on occasion to float my neetbux.
You get used to it at first, then slowly over time it kind of creeps in on you. The fact that you've been doing nothing for years. Your life is boring.

>>41950913
24 year old hikkiNEET here, I've been one for 8 years now since I dropped out of high school after only attending a year and one trimester of it, having being "homeschooled"(NEET) for several years before that because my parents were busy with work and gave up on trying to make me actually do homeschool assignments.
I've never had a job, I've been diagnosed with assburgers and OCD, and the last time I had a friend was when I was 12 years old.
Me and my now unemployed mother live off of NEETbux payments I get after my dad died in an accident at work last year.

>>41934865
Because the Japanese adopted it to for the same purpose. Well, with the lifestyle bit as well.

Any euro neets here? I want to kneel before you for managing to fuck up in a society that in theory leaves you little to no room for excuses.

>>41952032
most people are fucking demons, 0 fucks. I only wish I had a pussy to coom into.

dude just code

>>41953702
I wish I'll have that much cash. I'm simply some Anon who has been jobless for the past few months and made my parents shut up after began pestering me about "getting a new one before NYE".

Meeting them face to face with 10kg less was the conversation opener.

>>41931130
I dunno anon, ever since I started working, the quality of my leisure time improved tenfold as it's now filled with pleasures, joys and life experiences that were previously unaffordable to me.

I don't miss having twice as much free time when all I could spend that free time on was dreaming of all the stuff I couldn't do. Sure anime, games (to a degree) and porn are all free but that only takes you so far.

>>41953312
If what you say is true, then you still have a chance to escape dude. I'll also receive money mid decembr from inheritance and will try to use it to put my life back on track. This doesn;t have to be the end man

>>41961313
no one asked you normalfag bitch

Living on autismbux and about to fly over to nippon for a month, I love my life.

Taking a break from work after migrating countries. Learning driving, living from savings. Am I a NEET? Does driving negated the NEET training part?

>>41966566
holy based
What's the plan at nippon

I'm working hard to become a NEET before 35 or at least 45. Financially independent NEET is the way to absolute happiness

>>41966566
yeah I love being disabled wahoo

You are not Japanese, you will never be Japanese, and no, spending your life as a shut-in playing videogames and consuming garbage repetitive media doesn't make you special, maybe retarded if something, even worse if you believe you are better than others for being one, even people who have a healthy relationship with the anime medium consider you a deluded freak, humans aren't made to be isolated, that's how it works.

Get your life in order, because tick tack time is running out and it runs out faster when you spend your entire days doing the same and the same thing, that's just how the brain and memory works, don't you wonder why time seems to go so fast and you don't remember most of it? why oh suddenly another year has passed? yeah that's because your memory isn't saving anything, that's what life is about.

At least get a job, save some money and visit Japan.

wait are you telling me people here werent joking about being jobless shutins
oh god

>>41969045
That's just retirement; doesn't count desu.

>>41931130
I think my NEETdom is going to finally end after 8 years. I'm going to a community college later today. I tried applying for a night job a couple months ago but got too scared and didn't show up to the interview. Hopefully I move on from this melancholic period of my life.

>>41970501
'Main deficiency of active people. Active men are usually lacking in higher activity--I mean individual activity. They are active as officials, businessmen, scholars, that is, as generic beings, but not as quite particular, single and unique men. In this respect they are lazy.

It is the misfortune of active men that their activity is almost always a bit irrational. For example, one must not inquire of the money-gathering banker what the purpose for his restless activity is: it is irrational. Active people roll like a stone, conforming to the stupidity of mechanics.

Today as always, men fall into two groups: slaves and free men. Whoever does not have two-thirds of his day for himself, is a slave, whatever he may be: a statesman, a businessman, an official, or a scholar'.

I will never have children, I'm hideous and socially inept. But I'm also mentally ok with that, have been since I was 10 years old.

>>41970501
>At least get a job, save some money and visit Japan.
That's what I did, but I quickly realized I would probably not do anything there. I have no friends and even in English, no ability to socialize.
I'm looking for ways to make friends, but I just don't connect with most people these days.

>>41972249
I just want to go there for the purposes of gawking at the superior aspects of their culture and largely keep to myself as I spend money at the local tourist spots or especially tourist starved areas in the various prefects

>>41972302
Yeah, there are particular places I'd like to visit as well, but I'm hardly comfortable just going to the store on my own. Getting a job hasn't fixed anything for me other than a lack of funds. Maybe I'm just retarded or something.

>>41939598
Do volunteer work first, you'll get the hang of it eventually

>>41931130
Yeah, I'm a NEET. I'm 23 and I've been a NEET since 16.
This is my first time on this board, what do you do here?

i think it would be nice to have a hikkineet /jp/ gf (male)
sigh
maybe one day

>>41946662
Neet life was full of happiness. I had plenty of time to hang around with many socially rejected guys, showed them my degeneracy side and be accepted.
But my family didn't shut up about it. I got them all kind of degree they want, by using up a large part of my youth, but they never satisfied. They never understand what they really want, they just saw something someone else have and demanded me to get it. I hate this shit.

>>41959221
I'm English. Every public service in this country barely functions, and if you don't live in a city your options for schooling are limited because public transport is awful.
My teachers never identified the mental problems that have plagued me throughout my life, which have worsened with age and have turned me into a wreck.
Even if I knew exactly what was wrong with me, the NHS waiting lists are years-long. I don't know what's wrong with me, which would only complicate the issue further.
There are ways for me to go to a good university, but I'm too much of a mental wreck to be able to bring myself to do that. Maybe if I'd had these options available when I was in my late teens, but by the time they became available, years of social isolation and NEETdom had already done their damage to me.
Maybe things are better in continental European countries. This country is like if the worst parts of the EU and the worst parts of the US had a downs syndrome baby.

>>41934750
I do a job but still pee in a bottle and throw it from my window into the nearby forestUwU ,I'm a cute sissy boi with a small penis so i feel ashamed to use public washroom :(

>>41972436
Its really a matter of being comfortable in your own skin, you don't have to be an extrovert but if you can fake a smile and be outwardly nice you should get far.

>>41974120
Being a neet doesn't get any better as far as fulfillment goes, find a way to generate revenue and that will go a long way into helping you sustain even with neetbux.
I'm working on a TTRPG as well as doing pro DMing on DND 5e. It won't be much but its something and all NEET anons should do something similar to fufill that inherent need.

>>41950913
No matter how hard people push me into social circle, I'm still a loner. 2 years of NEET I had is a really nice time. Instead of being jelly with normies, I went to find out why having a job no longer a juicy option. I even think about writing a book that can start a revolution lol

>>41974242
I have no skills and I lack the discipline, motivation, and mental fortitude to develop skills.

>>41953974
Why don't go out with a bang? If the world have nothing more to give you, you should go take it. What's the point of being a good boy if everyone treating you like shit anyway?

>>41974260
One thing i've learned is that once you find a muse you don't need "motivation" or whatever. It'll come to you as a hobby that you want to do as much as video games or whatever rocks your boat.
For me it was ttrpgs and 2hu fanfics.
It might not be the same for you but do what you want and when the mood strikes you to do something do it asap as thats gonna be the thing that can build your confidence even if it doesn't happen for a full year or more!
The only way to fail is to give up my sweet anon-chan. so keep giving things a try and see what works.
For me it was ttrpgs and 2hu fanfics but for you? who knows!?

>>41966730
Not a NEET. I saw people like you make documentary of their travel and post it on patreon/channel

>>41974284
I haven't found anything ever since I became a NEET in 2016, so I doubt I'll find something over the course of the next 6 - 7 years, either. From time to time, I feel like I want to start working out, but I'm too anxious to work out in a gym or outside, my house is small with little space, and my body is weak and inelegant.
In terms of an idea or desire that could be transformed into a form of income, I've got nothing.

>>41974260
But you have dreams, right? If only there was a sandbox mode in life where you can try anything, and people didn't judge you, you'd be a different man

>>41974337
I'd like to have a lot of money, be beautiful and physically fit, have a decent number of good friends, have houses in other countries, run a jazz lounge, and be able to develop multiple skills and passions.

>>41974323
Meanwhile I saw twitch streamer only watch and overreacting to make money, people making guides for game, people telling others what to do, and thots showing their stinky feet in front of camera

>>41974323
so working out is your worry? so is mine even if I haven't conquered it. I've been working on a fast that i've done for a week and will get back to once I run out of vodka so I don't slip into alcoholic ketoacidosis. I've advised others to lift gallon bottles of water as thye watch anime or do squats to build muscle and while I failed its not bad advice at all.
As far as being a neet I've been a full on neet since 2019ish and only recently withing the last 3 months have I found my muse!
I write abusive Reimu fanfics in once of the Reimu threads and have been every nightish for the most part for a short while. Pic related became my muse along with other anon's writing prompts in various threads
As well I started GMing a TTPRG for a group of friends with a homebrew that has become another muse and i've been working on a CDDA TTRPG that I aim to put on pateron and sell by working with a printshop if I can.
Regardless of what you've been up too sometimes your muse can strike you hard and fast or its something you let fester for years, don't give up anon-chan, we all love you here!

>>41974395
So I said "pic related" by it was the wrong pic!
>>41974323
I ment this one so please ignore the silly tewi!

>>41974393
Life is easier if you're a woman or have no dignity.
>>41974395
I worry about a lot of things, although I try to avoid actively worrying about things that I don't have any control over. I'd certainly feel a lot better about myself if I were physically fit and able, although that wouldn't solve any of my other problems.

>>41974358
A very normie dream, but it quite popular. You can make an isekai story with self insert Mary Sue main character hahaha.
I thought you'd be more autistic than that.

>>41974415
I understand you anon, i've packed on too many pounds and it haunts my dreams and doesn't let me enjoy a wet dream in any way shape or form, not even once since I was a teen who could ignore it!
I can't advise you there only to act on your urges or find something that puts a fire in your chest and makes you want to work out which may be harder to say then do.
However don't give up just yet as the match may light for you at any time!

>>41974429
Well I don't want that to be the final phase of my life, it'd just be a good starting point to see where life could take me, under more favourable conditions. If that were my life, most of my worries would disappear and I'd be able to discover myself and my deeper desires without the mental and material chains that currently hold me down.

>30 years old
>only had two jobs ever
>quit after a month both times
>live in mom's basement
>watch streams, play games, and jerk off into my onaholes everyday

>>41974535
Basements are cool I wish I had basements here in California

I'm NEET but I get paid. I work(ed) as programmer in a consulting company, but I sucked so hard I got fired from 3 different projects. Nowadays I do nothing but still get paid every month, I've gone 4 months like this.

>>41974323
>I feel like I want to start working out
there are a ton of exercises you can do at home just from laying down. if you don't live in a big city you could also walk around at night while everyone is asleep to avoid them, that's something I did.

>>41974535
Haha the boss is going to expell me this month too

>>41974872
Every time I try to do body weight exercises, I feel like my form is horribly off.

>>41974447
What do you want to do after you got all materialistic thing you desire is the real you. Banging bitches all day? Travel on yatch? Pay people to praise everything you do? Complain about it's so hard being a rich person? Or become a neet in your mansion again?

>>41974983
then focus on form over results/reps

>>41975072
It's hard to focus on form when there's no one to correct me.

I was NEET from 2010 - 2022 but now I'm not. It's like the past 11 years never happened almost, in a way they didn't. People IRL think I'm about 19.

>>41975590
I'm 23 and I look younger than I did when I was 18

>>41975590
>>41975615
This must be a common NEET trait. I'm 27, dropped out of college at 18, and people ask for my ID more now than back then. My friends also look older than me despite being the same age. I guess moe anime really heals the soul that much... (real theory: is probably stress related, right? Personally I live with no worry in the world. If one day my mom kicks me out and no friend lets me crash at their place, I guess I die)

>>41975735
It's sunlight related. Avoiding direct sunlight makes you look much younger.

>>41975735
Yes, after women entered the workforce in large amounts their average lifespan dropped closer to that of men. Wageslaving quite literally takes a decade off of your life.

>>41975735
I started a basic skincare routine at 19 and have kept up with it almost every day for the last 4+ years. On top of that, I'm rarely exposed to sunlight, and people in my family generally look young for their age.

>>41950913
I'm 31. I've been a NEET since 14.

>>41952032
In my experience it's the other way around. People in their 20s worry over not fitting in with normalfags but once they grow older they largely just accent their lot in life.

>>41975214
Get ring fit adventure

>>41974683
Why were you so bad at programming? You have some of the Ivy League's programming courses available to you in a few search queries and clicks.
>>41975590
I too look very young despite pushing 30 but mostly because I've worked hard to maintain the only good bit of good genes my mother gifted me. I've been microneedling and using Japanese Biore sunscreen since I was around 19 years old. It's a huge plus in the workforce because people really think you're some kid out of high school and are willing to invest more resources into you cause muh youth = potential.
Too bad I've had to start taking hairless treatment recently. It's working great at least...

the last time I interacted with a woman who wasn't family, or wasn't being paid to interact with me (doctor, nurse, cashier) was in 2020. before that it was 2018.

>>41938081
I swear year by year its getting worse

>>41981099

slurp slurp... so salty...!! Needs better diet correction!!

I played too much LoL for the last 3 months and worked like 3 hours a week on my full time remote job with $10k/month. Now I'm freaking out really hard because very soon they will find out I have done nothing. I hope I will bullshit myself through it because I earned some respect in the past. Even though I have money for 1-2 years of NEETing but finding a new job after that will be problematic, also current IT market is scary with all those layoffs. Everything could be fine if I worked at least 20 hours a week I don't know why I'm so retarded and instead played LoL for 12 hours a day.

>>41975590
>>41975615
>>41975735
this is extremely visible in my case as well, in periods when i can neet or just chill out, i look about a few years younger, when i have to study/work, i look at least 4 years above my actual age
i hate work so much, all i'm hoping is that my education will grant me a faster escape out of this hell

I'm not a neet by any means (I'm currently employed). But I do spend most of my week in my home, since I work from there too.

My guess is that most /jp/ users are kinda in the same spot as me. I bet yall have jobs but have awful sleeping schedule and rarely leave your house unless it's almost mandatory to do so.

>>41990142
What are you studying? It's what I see as my bastion of hope because I don't ever want to work a menial job and work with the roaches that infest them again.

>>41990331
economics. basically, i'm hoping some company will let me work remotely on some irrelevant bullshit involving administration or economic planning or something and the salary will be high enough that i'll be able to get an apartment, get some savings, and quit working for a few years until wageslaving again

not technically a hikineet, but close. maybe work an hour a week total doing grounds keeping to pay bills and use the rest of my free time watching animu or doing housewife stuff. my husband is on thin ice with his job though and im scared that if he gets fired ill have to get a 9-5. ive always wanted to be able to take care of him, but schizophrenia keeps getting worse and going outside always leads to an episode. i keep the job i have and deal with having episodes on a daily basis because of it since i dont want to burden him. and a regular job would be really hard / impossible to keep, not to mention i live in a rural area where there are maybe 2 jobs open right now and both involve people. i feel like im gonna be called a normalfag but im scared.

This sounds like something you should talk to your husbando about and not an imageboard, homoanon.

Anyways, it sounds like you legitimately need to go see a therapist or something if it's that bad. The only good thing about mental problems is it's basically all in your head, if you try to adopt a positive outlook on things, usually it'll get a bit better on it's own. As for work there's a lot of from-home style stuff nowadays.

>>41996312
I live in America. Does that count?

>>41959430
furreal

>>41996330
Yes. My condolences btw

>>41974683

lmao I did this too. I ended up getting paid for months while not even going to the office anymore.

I always got removed from projects and jobs for being asocial and having problems with authority, stuff like refusing to use webcams in meetings and not going drinking after work really gets under normies skin even if you are good at the job.

my dream is self employment/retirement within the next 5 years. Covid was the best thing that ever happened to my life, I have been paid to stay indoors for 3 years.

>>41996967
you sound like a stupid faggot fuck who simply doesn't want to do the job he was hired for. hope you get blacklisted

>>41997013
>wanting to do the job you were hired for

>>41997013

nope i'm a good programmer and now i'm paid very well to do only that, with none of the stuff I don't like considering I don't even have to go to an office anymore or socialize with coworkers outside of work.

you sound like a jealous corporate simp

>>41990204

this is the dream, the perfect blend of not being poor but also getting to live as a degenerate

>>41997627
the dream because most of /jp/ and otaku in general are salarymans and too proud to admit it

some of you guys in this thread have no foresight. i’m a programmer too but i do enough stuff for my lead to be happy with me, sometimes even grateful for my “initiative”. i work for literally 4 hours most days, get paid 6 figures and no one is any the wiser. i even just recently finished my end of year review and got praised for my good work and a raise. even if i got fired (which seems unlikely) i’ve still kept my skills in order so i can just find another job.
if you’re a code monkey you’ve literally made it. just be average and enjoy your good quality of life with almost no effort. seriously why would you fuck that up?

>>41997674
you paid with your soul now youre an npc

>>41997674
Makes a big difference if they appreciate you. Any time I put in extra effort, I get nothing out of it, so at this point I only do the bare minimum. They also try to get me to go back into the office, but going to have to pay me more first before I even consider dealing with peasants that often. It sucks when you are more intelligent than everyone else but social skills are horrible. To be honest just not a fan of people, what can I say, I like computers.

>>41997762

lol peak midwit

>>41997752
if being an npc means being decently well off and able to spend most of my day doing hobbies then why wouldn’t i want to be an npc lol
>>41997762
get a better job. where i live programmers are in massive demand and even if you’re just average you can find work at a company with decent pay and work-life balance. you sound like you’re working in a code sweatshop. remote work is the standard now

>>41997762

refuse to go back to the office, job hop as required. it takes no effort to get a new programming job if you're at all competant and you're claiming to be a genius so why wait.

i love being a neet at my remote job and being a hiki going to the store
ota
COOL

I've been neeting for 4 years and counting and I dread everytime I see this thread floating around, I don't know why.

>>41997808
social anxiety. If I can get over that, would be amazing. That's what makes me a NEET though.

>>41997774
I dropped out of college because it was a waste of time. So maybe, depends how indoctrinated you are.

>>41997967
I'm not going to say you were wrong or right in dropping out as I did the same but my friend you are what we call "high on the idiot hill".
You will reflect one day and realize how cringe you are but until that day comes let be the one that calls you a jackass who only things your smart for today

>>41998004
I never claimed to be a genius, I've done nothing to deserve that. that was you guys, if anything I'm an idiot savant. A bit too wise for my age probably. Oh and I'm a NEET, I'm hyper aware of my cringe. You don't need to tell me. Enough about me though, get back to talking about other NEETs already.

>>41997627
>>41997656
having a proper sleeping schedule feels nice though

i'm about to drop out of school, lol

>>42000131
I wish I could but my parents would be disappointed in me

>>42000154
Mine will be too. I live alone tho so the fallout won't be as bad. I'm 24 and still in college, i won't be out until i'm 27 and that's with no work experience. i might as well drop out now and start working or something.

>>42000194
I'd rather commit suicide on my own terms

>>42000238
That's no way to think

>>41997774
It actually bothers me a bit that anons feel increasingly compelled to insult people for displaying what is perceived to be a midwit level of intelligence, because:

1. It implies that displaying less intelligence than a midwit ironically makes people avoid even challenging it, likely as a learned response that genuinely low intelligence people can just abuse you with their retardation until they get the last word in, seemingly winning the argument and validating their convictions.

2. Unlike #1, midwits are often open to changing their views and thoughts if someone makes a compelling argument. But that takes a lot more effort than calling them a midwit and denies one an inherent sense of superiority.

Basically it's one of those things that makes for shittier discussion that is also solely the responsibility of anons, many of whom probably choose to come here for the lack of accountability or consequences they would get on other sites.

>>42000430
actual midwit post

>>42000442
Don't get anything out of your post unless you make me aware of what is particularly midwit about it. I could call you the same but it'd be just as meaningful.

>>42000384
My life is shit and it's not gonna get any better. I can tell you that. I have no skills or accomplishments. I have no work experience and I talk to nobody. I have no friends offline or online. Enough about me, what about you?

>>42000504
I dropped out of college 3 times and this time is going to be the last time. I'll probably start working in sales or something, somewhere where they'll take you without a degree or previous work experience.

I wanted to be an engineer but i'm just too retarded. back in high school i used to think i was pretty smart just kinda lazy. turns out i'm not really smart and really lazy. i'm really good when it comes to cheating and cutting corners but that's about it. i never had the makings of a proper engineer but i deluded myself into thinking i did for many years.

it's not all bad though, i speak Japanese fluently. I might be able to turn that into money one way or another.


anyway, suicide is a non-option. finding friends or someone to talk to is something you can accomplish in about a week or two. skills you can get while you work and accomplishments, well, i don't think they are that important.

>>42000504
>My life is shit and it's not gonna get any better. I can tell you that.
Not him and not trying to nag, but if this is your mentality you are absolutely correct it will remain the same, regardless of whether or not you have the things you list afterwards. Those things are just useful means to pursue a change, not an ends to it.

Yes, that was almost certainly the reason he got through from that.

You don't have to be a genius to succeed. Most people love bullshit, so feed them bullshit. Even if you are a socially repulsive midwit, you can still at least develop a social mask that will allow you to reach places just being 4.1 GPA autist could, it just will be much harder, take longer, and you'll have to become creative and pragmatic.

I want to post his linkedin profile so bad, but as he was the one who personally requested to meet, nterview, and hired me because he was impressed with me for some reason and it's a concentrated industry, I can't take any chance.

I met mine on here, we play games every now and then and it's nice, distracts from the loneliness and keeps me preoccupied. Word of advice, as someone who has met and became friends with many people from this site, never be close friends with people from here. Once you get to know them they'll most likely be a gigantic piece of shit, just be friends, buddies who do stuff together every now and then.

>>42005384
I've tried making friends here, but I never end up really liking anyone enough to talk to them more than a few times or they're gay and get all horny on me.
And so I just don't talk to people beyond my anonymous posts for the most part. Exception is when a /jp/ decides to play something. I always really enjoy that.

>>42004311
yea i have a bachelors from one of the best compsci schools in my country.
btw i’m not saying becoming a programmer is easy but once you’re in you’re pretty much set for a comfy life as long as you don’t fuck up.
>>42004819
doing well in school and in the workplace is just a matter of putting in a modicum of effort, observing the people around you and attempting to fit in at a bare minimum. it’s not hard at all and it will let you bugger off and live your own life mostly stress free.
you can only treat other people like an asshole if you have enough money or influence to get away with it, or you’re willing to gamble your own quality of life. personally i don’t give 2 shits about other people so pretending to be civil means nothing to me

>>42007103
>Exception is when a /jp/ decides to play something. I always really enjoy that.
You should add people from those events then if you can, that's how friendships start
>they're gay and get all horny on me
That was another thing that usual happens, either they're a complete unlikable asshole, or they go gay on you

>>42007152
>You should add people from those events then if you can, that's how friendships start
Ahaha, I think that would take away from the fun and anticipation for the next event. It's also how shitty cliques form too, and nobody wants that.

After a decade of being a NEET I'm not self employed as an artist. It's like being a NEET but I get paid to draw some things too.

You can be a hikki and still find employment. It's definitely a small number of those people but it can happen.

Anyone else has nostalgia for the NEET culture of the 2000s and to a lesser extent most of the 2010s? I miss when every anime forum/chatroom and every imageboard was like half NEET or more and discussion of NEETdom was largely neutral or positive with any negativity mainly being focused on other people's reactions or the inevitability of having to work eventually for some. NEET threads used to be supremely comfy. Now it just kind of seems like the only thing that gets discussed on NEET threads/imageboards/forums is
>ahhhhh I'm ROTTING I don't do anything!!
>I can't get a girlfriend ahhhh!!!
>I'm just gonna lay down and rot because society
>anyone else GOON to PORN 24/7?
The occasional /jp/ thread and certain other imageboards are usually alright but it honestly feels like NEET communities are getting raided by the incel community and failed normies. Just the constant screaming despair into the void and freakish obsession with sex.

>>42014429
>it honestly feels like NEET communities are getting raided by the incel community and failed normies. Just the constant screaming despair into the void and freakish obsession with sex.
Well, back then things were still pretty "new and exciting" in a way and the internet still had a lot of good vibes. I don't think it's some coordinated raid nowadays so much as just a new generation of people using the internet who are particularly depressed and the old guard finally collapsing under the pressure of society and age.

I've had at least 3 of my old NEET friends from the past ~10 years ago legitimately seem to lose their minds and become borderline insane. Two of them tried to kill to kill themselves and one of them succeeded in it, while the other was perma-fucked up, and the last guy became thoroughly delusional and started talking legitimately about some satanic visions he had and plastering his profiles with pentagrams and swastikas.

I dunno, I just think most people can't handle it for an extended amount of time without some form of meaningful activity to balance it out. The first ~5 years or so may be fine, but it seems like people's faults will gradually get worse in the isolation without them knowing it, until it drifts into extremes as a way of dealing with it. I really think it's important to balance out NEET life with some sort of productive hobby to stay happy.

I think it would be better to say the internet as a whole became more "depressing" though. I miss when you could just goof off with random people in MMOs and have dumb fun randomly hitting people up, these days people mostly just keep to themselves or ignore you if you try to talk to them. I think this kind of mindset is pretty prevalent everywhere now, people are rarely openly chatty or optimistic like they used to be and usually just keep to preestablished cliques.

>>42014429
>NEET communities are getting raided by the incel community and failed normies
Probably true. Ironically, women and market forces are to blame for this. Dating apps started ruining society and increasing the incel rate around 2013 or so. The difference is NEETs don't care about that stuff as much while incels are obsessed with it.

>>42014429
see >>41981865
those people you talked about either moved on or killed themselves

>>41931130
Being a NEET for long enough becomes a struggle to maintain one's humanity. I am working to fill my time with constructive habits but removing the destructive ones seems insurmountable. I would like to cease use of this website for good but I am afraid dementia will set in from lack of any form of social interaction. It might be time to start volunteering or something.

>>42016405
Yeah, being a neet has taken a serious toll on me. I have no drive to speak anymore. Even when spoken to, I'll usually reply with a gesture of some sort. People probably think I'm autistic or something, but I'm not. I'm just severely out of practice.

>>42014606
>I've had at least 3 of my old NEET friends from the past ~10 years ago legitimately seem to lose their minds and become borderline insane
I've been a NEET for most of the last decade (with a few short periods of schooling/work in between) and I haven't gone depressed or insane, the worst thing about it is boredom and eventually I find something to do. Maybe I'm a freak but I would happily keep living the NEET life if I had the money.

No, not really. Wageslavery is depressing and soul crushing. Being a NEET is the absolute dream. Time is your most valuable asset and you don't want to waste the majority of your good years doing work.

>>42020084
Sure, but now that I've worked a bit I can replace all my worn out and broken things from my NEET years. Besides, I can go back to it if I want to.

>>42021207

Ahh, Been quite long since the last time JP hosted a game, those were really quite fun especially the GTA 東方 threads.

Straight up hikineet here.
I just see no reason to go out and have no clue what to do with my life.
Ended up picking up fansubbing just to do something productive.
I would like to do payed translation work, but there isn't much demand for the languages I'm working with.

>>42025580
what language?
you would be surprised how many people actually want to read something in their mother tongue but settle for english, especially since eng subs now are very miss instead of hit

>>42025752
Dutch and English.
I got a lot of positive feedback for my work and I love doing it, but it doesn't really pay the bills.
I checked job openings and they all require French and/or German.

Being a NEET is the ultimate dream, but it's also unsustainable. I've been at it for 8 years now, but eventually my parents are going to die and I won't be able to leech off of them. The ideal situation is I make a videogame that sells incredibly well and I can live off of that money and return to NEETdom. The very bit of wageslaving I have done in the past was not enjoyable in the slightest, but homelessness seems far more miserable from the experiences that my friends have told me.

>>42024407
the gta dev was in another thread, he's apparently been homeless but said he was hoping to rehost games again around february.

Everyone in this thread who says that working a low stress/effort job while living fundamentally like a NEET is worse than being an actual jobless NEET is coping because they need to rely on their parents and government handouts.

Actually I'm the most sensitive human being that has ever lived.

I'm NEET that gets 'tism bucks while living as a in-house maid for a roommate who's a salaryman. If one can find someone they can trust won't kick them out it's a very reliable lifestyle.
I hope many 'tism NEET find a life like this or better though what I am doing could be seen as illegal by the eyes of the government but to me the government is just a big janny and fuck janny.

>>42030741
Wait what you're a maid? Do you dress up in a french maid dress or something?

>>42030741

How come?

>>42030758
There is no dressing up or anything sexual going on he just can't be bothered to cook, clean or shop after work so I just do it.
>>42030787
Illegal because he sometimes gives me money to do whatever with when I grocery shop and not declaring extra income when on disability is seen as fraud which is beyond stupid.

>>41931130
NEET since 2018, gonna turn 30 in February and I feel like shit. I wish I wasn’t an anxiety-ridden lazy slob with no confidence and skills. I keep lying to my parents telling them I’m applying and waiting for e-mails. Well, it’s not like I’m breaking their banks, even my mom admits that I don’t spend money at all but they still don’t like me being a NEET. Now turning 30 made me realize that I’m beyond help. Wish I can go back to elementary school to unfuck my life.

>>42014429
NEETing is fun for a while but then it becomes boring.

Most ppl weren't blessed with a vajin. Most real NEETS are doomed for a later life highlighted by humiliation and destitution. "Culminating" in loveless self-harm and suicide.

>>41939598
No more depressing NEETdom.
I'm starting work at "internet cafe" (more like shady gambling place lol) today. Wage is quite shitty but it's mostly sitting 8h a day and doing mostly nothing.

>>41931130
Pretty good thing going on at the moment. I get to work as a freelancer from home (10 hours/week max) and I also take care of this retarded guy (take him to library/bowling or whatever). But I also get some NEETbux because I'm not full-time employed. It's almost like the best of both worlds.
Before I landed the freelancer thingy I did volunteer work 12h/week for six months and then full-time clerk for a year. I'm 33 and NEET almost all my life.
Anyway if you want a small job I recommend looking into disability assistance services. Men are rare in the business so they literally begged me to take it. It's not as bad as it sounds.

>>42031782
Good job!

>>41931130
I am, I have never set foot out of house for 7 years since when the last time I went to dentist. All my food are shipped. Iearn money through art commission. I don't know if I can continue this life style in the future when people may use AI for art instead.

my dad helped me get a car so i can do deliveries for doordash. it's the first job i've ever had that i can actually keep but now i have constant anxiety that there's something wrong with my car.

I need money.

>>42009530
Do you mean you ARE self employed as an artist?

>>42037125
yes, it was a typo. but I was a neet for a long time while drawing.

I might finally have to stop being a NEET soon. It feels really bad. I'm scared and sad and kind of angry too. I don't want to let go of the NEET dream...

People like you are the reason forced labour camps were invented.

>>42038008
Your tears taste like honey

>>42038008
they were invented in the uk for people who couldn't find work anywhere

>>42037361
how come?

>>42037900
They're neets not drooling retards

>>42037961
>I honestly wouldn't mind working if I was fully refunded with the fruits of my labor.
So, you go to your job and grow 30 oranges, and then your boss lets you take them home? Why not just grow them at home and be a neet then?

>>42038578
depends on where you live desu

>>>if you don't trade your health, time, sanity, and surplus value for a measly wage
if you traded some of your Bing Bang Wahoo time for studying something that you liked, you wouldn't suffer from any of that. Either pick now that you have time or be forced when you're about to go homeless

>>42037707
That post wasn't directed towards you then, but rather the anons above who actually want to improve

'Why don't you just get a job, jobs are soooo easy to get'

>>42038308
My parents are making me, I don't think I can say no. I found out that I have an interview in a few days and I'm too much of a coward to try and bomb it on purpose. If they don't take me the rejection might feel bad, but it'll mean I have a little more time at least.

>>42039404
ah that sucks, sorry for you anon
i was also forced out but luckily my neetbux are enough to rent and live from, though i wish i could still neet at home

>>42035675
you could always deliver your stuff on a bike

>>42038816
That isn't an improvement though, you're still a loser, you're just suffering more. UberEats doesn't even give you the social aspect of having coworkers (which may be pleasant depending on whether you like people) it just makes you run around according to the whims of an algorithm taking rent off your work. If you wanna ride your bicycle, just ride it without the stress of trying to speedrun delivering food.

>>42038653
Why is it ok when the boss makes money off your work, but not when the state does ?

Need to get back on NEETbux, probably also a jerb(but that never actually happens)

I have "CPTSD", "GAD", "ADHD", and "depression". I get disability and sell my prescriptions (which I don't really need). Cozy NEET living.

>>42045306
>cptsd
>gad
were you raised in an abusive home or something?

>>42045306
I have considered the prescription selling route because the only other way the state considers me disabled is if I am in active treatment
Therapy just gave me more issues and wasted my time, it's a scam for normalfags whos worst problems are being sad when it rains

>>42037553
Yup, also I think that I impressed boss on first day because I stayed overtime to drain two drunkards that got lucky early in the game from all the credits they accumulated plus a bit more.
Tomorrow morning shift so no overtime but also probably there will be no people. All day playing Pokemanz on 3DS and listening to music, It's like being a NEET but I get paid.

>>42044230
That's not what I said at all you silly billy

Making a game is harder than it looks. Keep dreaming anon.

Don't care lole, NEET 4 LIFE.

I've been a NEET for like 12+ years

>>42025910
Do you release your subs somewhere? Dutch is my native language so watching anime with Dutch subtitles instead of English ones sounds like an interesting experience.

>>42045960
You have it anon

What do you do for twelve years? Have you gained any wisdom.

If you cook, clean and shop you are not a NEET retard you are exactly what you say a maid

Akutan is that you?

>>42048140
It's up on Anidex under the name [Weebonie].
I don't have much out yet tough.
I wanted to release it on Nyaa but couldn't register for a name.

>>42050841
NEET just means unemployed without education.
That's the only requirement to be a NEET.

>>41989654
In the end all other teams fucked up and no one will notice that I was slacking for 3 months and I will not be fired for sure. I was worried for nothing, going back to NEETing with little working for good money. Being a senior dev in corporation is a bless.

Is there even any sense in applying for programming jobs if I never even finished college?
I know a bit of react and I did a few games in unity, but I don't really feel like it matters at all
Being a NEET is only good for the first 5 years, I want to have a job ffs but I don't want to interact with other people

>>42051871
Employers are more interested in some kind of portfolio from what I heard.
They'd rather see examples of what you can do than what kind of courses you completed.

>>41931130
>>41931240
there are like 2 types of terminally online people
NEETs with neetbux
WFH wagies who pretend to work for 300k a year

>>41981865
what probably happened is that they just ran out of money

>or just realized they were throwing their life away
everyone throws their life away
wasting your life making money doesn't make it better.

>>42051871
>I want to have a job
you really don't

>Being a NEET is only good for the first 5 years
being a wagie is only good for the first 1 month

>>42051972
ok faggot, then rot in your room and die
I want to improve, I lived like that for way too long

>>42051986
alright, why do you want a programming job? for the money? to do something with your life?

>then rot in your room and die
lmao i make $200k/year and i probably am the biggest failure ITT
a job doesn't solve your problems (unless your problem is you need money to live, then totally understandable)

>>42052001
>alright, why do you want a programming job? for the money? to do something with your life?
Both actually, money is always a good thing, and I do want to do something with my life that isn't just mindlessly playing games for the first half of the day, and sleeping through the second, contributing to things that other people use must feel nice, idk

>>42052056
>money is always a good thing
agreed

>and I do want to do something with my life that isn't just mindlessly playing games for the first half of the day, and sleeping through the second
what is stopping you from doing that right now? the kind of person who can't set goals and work towards them, even as a NEET will flounder and still struggle when they are getting paid for it

>contributing to things that other people use must feel nice, idk
responsibility, obligation, and the rat race in general doesn't feel nice though

>>42051871
Depends on the country. In some countries it's illegal to not have an engineering degree. Corporations and especially small companies do not care about your education at all. They care only if you have 0 experience and no portfolio so you can show at least something.

Fastest way is webdev or mobile (native ios(swift)/andriod(kotlin)) job. Make a few small fully finished products, a site or an app. There are shit tons of free courses, go through them but don't be too dependant on them. Getting the first job will be the hardest, try to lie on your CV but not too much, companies lie too so don't feel bad about it.

I learned mobile dev in 6 months by watching some indian guy and landed a remote job in a year. But I was learning and doing things for like 16 hours a day because I was tired of being a neet and decided either that or suicide.

However you have to like programming at least to some extent otherwise it's pointless.

>>42052341
>However you have to like programming at least to some extent otherwise it's pointless.
yes and no
there are millions of people doing it for money and cushy job alone
the "you need to like programming" gatekeeping era is from before all the normies found out it pays 6 figures for 30 hours of work

>>42050393
Take it easy

Programming is great but doing it for a job is not so cozy. Learn something like compilers or os that has limited commercial use over forgettable garbage like JS and react.

i am the neet

>>42046275
I'm well aware

>>42052056
>and I do want to do something with my life that isn't just mindlessly playing games for the first half of the day, and sleeping through the second,
Learn and go outside then. Being a NEET is a blessing, because it allows you to engage with the world without the added weight of exploitative labor, that tires you too much to have fun with your hobbies, takes up most of your day, and reduces your life expectancy by like 10 years.
>contributing to things that other people use must feel nice, idk
It doesn't actually, because the process of work is awful, and you don't see the results of your labor being useful to people, you hand them over to your boss who hands you a part of the money your work was worth in exchange for the labor, which you then use for buying commodities other people have hated making and lining the pockets of corporations. It's quite an alienating cycle, actually. There was a funny man with a beard who wrote a book about this one time in the XIX century
What's with this weird idea that working somehow helps you fix your mental issues? What's actually good for you and might help you is a sense of community, which you may find at work if you're very lucky, but most people never do. If you're damaged, you can unironically only be cured with the power of friendship, not this work bullshit

I'm approaching two years hikkineet now and I'm starting to get extremely anxious almost constantly. I've always been nervous which is why I'm so reclusive but now it's overwhelming me while I'm just sitting in my room. Sometimes even when I'm mentally not worried I still feel that uncomfortable anxious adrenaline feeling. Do you other neets also experience this anxiety and if so how do you handle it?

>>42051358
>Being a senior dev in corporation is a bless
Dope, how long did it take you to reach that point? I have an industrial engineering degree(jack-of-all, master-of-none, self-teaching teh codez)
a programming a career is something I nonseriously think about...

>>42055900
3 years to get a position in a corpo with a good pay and after 1 year I learned how to do 1 task that takes 4 hours for a week and no one cares. If I was not lazy I would get like 3 parallel jobs. However being junior - middle developer is complete opposite, you don't have enough exp to bullshit yourself through.

Can I work as a translator if I passed the jlpt n1 exam?
Maybe I should have learned coding instead of Japanese over the last couple of years haha

>>42056355
Doesn't every weeb that gets a degree in japanese want to do the same thing?

>Maybe I should have learned coding instead of Japanese
Probably.

It's not all it's cracked up to be.

>>42056355
No, theres hundreds of other neets who also learned japanese. It's easier now than ever to learn jp and it's really not an in demand skill anymore. same with coding though, everything is kinda full rn

Going to neet for a few more years before accessing the canadian healthcare system.

Have been for almost two years now, again, and I'm tired of it.

>>42060147
What are you going to do about it? Surely being a wagie would be even worse.

>>42060173
I'm going to start flight training soon. I want to be a bush pilot flying out into the middle of nowhere.

>>42060319
good on ya, I myself love flight and am working on my paraglider training as well as a degree in aerospace engineering

>>42060364
I wish you luck in your ventures. I am quite nervous about it. I did do an introductory flight and loved that. They had me fly the plane around for about an hour. It's just a lot of money to put towards something.

>>42060370
for sure flying isn't cheap, but I do hope it gives your life some meaning

>>42060499
I hope so as well, before I tried this I was going through the days and didn't even realize what day it was or month for a while. Just existed without purpose.

Sleep tight, NEETs.
