Well, that's it /jp/. I got a job. It's just a weekend retail thing at a clothes store, but it's a job. When she told me I'd been accepted, I could have cried. I only applied to keep benefits going, but now I actually have to end my NEET lifestyle. I'm depressed. All I want to do is take it easy. I only get about £10 more than I got on benefits, but now I have to work. This sucks. I've been a NEET for about 2 years now, can /jp/ cheer me up?

Right now I'm forced to attend classes just so my mother won't throw me out. I don't know what I'm going to do at the end of this year. Either way I've got until I'm 25 and then she won't support my easy anymore, 3 years.

>> No.7331796

Dude, taking it easy doesn't mean being a lazy bastard with no future. It means being cool, going with the flow, and not worrying about all the little shit. You should be happy to break out of your unproductive bubble of a lifestyle. A job like that might not be glamorous but it can always lead to better things.

I dunno, I can't take it easy when things are forced onto me. I have to worry because if I mess up one little thing I'm going to have everyone on my ass about how badly I messed up and punishment and all sorts of things. Too much pressure. Of course, that's not to say what I'm doing currently is acceptable either, though.

So true. Jobs not only destroy the time you spend on them but the time you don't. You only feel free when you have a few days off in a row, but the feeling of dread just ramps up and you count the hours. A weekend is never enough. Even months seem so short, if there is a definite end.

The weekend is only two days, three if you count Friday. That leaves four or five days of not-working.

OP here, sorry I had to go to the dentist. This week has been pretty sucky.

>>7331768
To sustain my benefits I have to apply to jobs. I tried my hardest to get rejected from them all, by being under qualified, unskilled or ignorant, but it wasn't enough. When she told me I got it I was in shock. I have to go to training on Thursday too. The weekend is my favorite time to take it easy because you know most everyone else is also taking it easy..

>>7331796
Taking it easy means doing what you want to do. I don't want to work..

>>7331838
No, it's just on Saturday and Sunday working. It's not cutting into my easy time that badly, but I'd prefer to have 100% of my time devoted to taking it easy.

>>7331840
Likely no, but I live with my parents who sustain me as well for most things. In fact most of my money goes to them anyway.

Primark is a woman's clothing store which I've never been in before. I'm scared of social interaction and especially that of the girls who work there. I'm pretty much the only male apart from a bunch of really openly gay guys. I'm scared and frightened.

I can't handle being a NEET. The crippling loneliness has forced me into spending more hours day-dreaming than actually doing anything. All my dreams seem so far away.

You don't want to work at all, on anything? Like I said, taking it easy doesn't mean being a lazy bastard that never accomplishes anything. If you don't want to work, find a way to make enough money so you'll never have to worry about it.

I had a job for all of a month when I was 16, at the mall. I've had odd jobs feeding neighbors' pets while they're out of town and babysitting since I was 13. I got a small weekly allowance up until I was 18 for daily chores around my house. I still do those chores, but they're more of a pacification thing while I'm still living at home, so that I don't have to pay rent. In the past two years I've worked in a vet's office, a burger joint, as a dog walker, and currently for my aunt.
I am 20 years old and have been enrolled in college and supporting myself on money I've earned, minus rent, since I turned 18.
And I've had it EASY compared to a lot of people.
Suck it up, OP. You're fucking annoying.
