Yes, I have plans to improve my intelligence.

But at least I'm smart enough to realize the rest of the things you're mentioning are fucking pointless.

That's no fun. It's what I like the most on /jp/.

>>9590167
Follow the rules you piece of shit.

I started going to the gym this week.

>>9590165

You do not care about your looks and how you appear to people? You would live your whole life as a loner? Back-up your post mr. anon.

>>9590178
Get a load of this falseNEET. /r9k/ is waiting for you.

Maybe I should try to hate people less and become open to making friends.

>having friends

nope, they are a waste of time and energy

>>9590183

Can't stay being a truNEET forever dear anon. I've realized this myself this year. Truth sucks but it cannot be helped, this is how the reality works.

>>9590199

Depends on who you make as your friends, befriend and be bros with a fellow /jp/sie irl and live the dream.

I'm actually saving up for plastic surgery as I hate my face I want:

1)Bone work done to make my face thinner

2)Chin implant to make my chin have a slight point

3)Lip thinning

4)Nose bridge heightening

5)Eye enlargement

I have already had teeth pulled and bleached so it's a start.

Other than that I want to learn more about drawing and music creation.

>>9590202
I'd rather not listen to some guy who probably hated the NEET life style. You seem to think that just because you were NEET once, you have the mentality as other NEETs. But the OP post shows that you are another fag who wants friends, wants a girlfriend, and thinks of that as improving, basically, a /r9k/ cry baby. I am going to enjoy my life the way I want to, you continue to cry about how you don't have a girlfriend when you are over 24 when you have managed the other 23 year years without one.

>>9590214
#Blog

I'm really tired of these threads. Just because you don't have a job and/or don't really have any future plans doesn't mean you're a "NEET" or "hikikomori" all you're doing is belittling the real shut-ins and contributing to the generalization of both of the terms. They are already becoming so widely used that even a normalfag who doesn't have anywhere to go on a Friday night starts claiming he's a NEET.

floor-shitting truNEET here rofl

Hell, nah. I'm gonna live in the woods, yo.

Hey guys, what if we contained NEET lifestyle in only one thread, so the board wouldn't be flooded with personal threads?

I used to exercise regularly simply because I wanted to stay healthy, but I can't bring myself to do it anymore. I just mind my diet instead.

>>9590230
>even a normalfag who doesn't have anywhere to go on a Friday night starts claiming he's a NEET.
If he's not in education, employment, or training then he is technically a NEET. Don't twist definitions to your own means.

>>9590212
It'd basically be like OP's pic, except not Japanese, then, right?

If I wanted to hang around awkward, dorky looking people with otaku hobbies I could have done that long ago. The only reason I can bear being on /jp/ is because I don't have to be reminded about what everyone is like in 3D.

>>9590227

Never said anything about wanting a girlfriend. Keep making false assumptions. I love the NEET lifestyle, I really do, but there would be inevitable rl circumstances where this lifestyle would fall apart and could no longer stay as it is.

Improving means enhancing the NEET experience, that is by adding fellow bros to your life, getting a job to support your fucking hobby and all that shit. Since when was getting a girlfriend an improvement? Relationships are merely a fucking hassle and problematic.

>>9590249
See: "Normalfag"

My point obviously flew way over your head. Apparently by the current standards, all you need to be NEET is to be sitting in your bedroom at your computer.

>>9590250

That is why I'm suggesting to improve your fucking appearances so you won't be that painful to look upon and be more as presentable as you can. Fuck.

Improving is the key word.

>>9590262
If that were to happen, you would just get a job or go to gensokyo. All that other shit you listed is basically normie crap.
>Like improving yourself, your appearance, your physique, your intelligence, curing your autism, having friends, going outside more and interacting with people.
Keep on being falseNEET. You long for normality, it's okay, there are plenty of your types on the other boards.

>>9590262
>getting a job
``NEET" pls go

>>9590267
>"Normalfag"
That term effectively means nothing. I've seen it applied to personalities, behavior, speech, and people with varying (arbitrary) degrees of what constitutes "normalfaggotry".

>Apparently by the current standards, all you need to be NEET is to be sitting in your bedroom at your computer.
Again, so long as a person fulfills the guidelines, it's fine to categorize them a such. NEET is not a status symbol and neither side should adopt it as such.

>>9590281
Actually, I totally agree with that. Otaku are even further from the attractiveness of 2D than normals, so I don't feel like I want to be around them.

Honestly, the only people I've enjoyed hanging out with in years have been Japanese normals and one fujoshi.

>>9590174
I bet you'll give up within the next week you pathetic worm

>>9590281
>That is why I'm suggesting to improve
I am sorry, what? You barge in here and tell us what the fuck to do? You think you will have any affect on this board?

>>9590282

I was a truNEET for your goddamn information. Life moves forward and doesn't stop for anybody so I got into the flow and eventually moved forward. I just want to say there's a lot of things you can do, explore and enjoy. We only have one life. If you have decided to live the truNEET way then more power to you. I, on the other hand, want to explore the vast stuffs life has to offer. I can say this because I got forced out of my shell. I had a lot of personality disorders to the point that it had stopped me from functioning and thinking correctly.

I hope to get a job in the near future and save up for some fucking cash and live the dream in Japan. You can decide to live a "NEET" life there, living as a loner, doing work solely for the money and do the usual things you do, just in a different place and environment, where your hobby has took place at. (animu/mangos, vns, futaba, etc)

>>9590320
Oh lord, we have a emotional weeaboo on our hands. Someone give this fag a tissue, his shit is leaking everywhere.

>>9590302

You're caring too much about appearances, are you any better? It's what the inside counts right or am I wrong? Like now, we're posting anonymously on this board without knowing what each other looks like.

>>9590319

That's merely a suggestion. You're free to follow it or not. If you do not want to change then cool. I do not have the control of your decisions. Fucking common sense dude.

>>9590331
Just so you know, I'm actually pretty hot.

>>9590348
btw im a girl

>>9590320
Anyway, I'll give you a serious response. I don't give a shit, I am going to continue to do what I do without putting too much thought into it, you can improve your appearance and get friends but I don't want to. You won't really change anyone on this board by forcing your shitty /r9k/ mentality, many have done the same in the past and it didn't work.

>>9590331
>You're caring too much about appearances, are you any better?
Well, I look like a normal and have been described as "ikemen" I suppose.

>It's what the inside counts right or am I wrong?
I think both are important. Otherwise why would you guys obsess over cutesy 2D girls instead of plain ones?

>Like now, we're posting anonymously on this board without knowing what each other looks like.
I doubt I'd get along with people from /jp/ in the end even if they did look cute. I mean, putting two awkward people together tends to amplify the awkwardness.

You know /jp/, trying to be a lil bit more productive than spending all your time browsing shit. We'd be old as time passes by and opportunities and chances will be lost as we age. If you're fine dying with only this stuff explored and done then have fun staying that way, but I'll say this, you're missing out on a lot of things in life.

Well, take it easy in all matters faggots.

>>9590331
>You're caring too much about appearances
These guys are closet normals. Real life is nothing but appearances. What's inside is hidden by an obtrusive mask. It's only in a place like this where you'll find any honesty.

Really, it's best to just avoid "outside" altogether.

>>9590373
Don't forget to update your facebook status and twitter :)

>>9590373
What ``stuff?"

>>9590365
>and get friends but I don't want to.

Don't you want just one other person you could hang out with, talk about things without pretense?

This has nothing to do with changing your appearance, I am just curious. I am not OP.

>>9590372

>implying all /jp/sies are awkward people

They might be from the start, but once you start knowing em it feels so good to have em by your side.

>>9590374

That's what you think, but you're absolutely wrong. Well I won't deny it is most of time, but trust me there's situations where looks won't matter at all. Appearances fades away with time, personality? nope. It's also what consists and distinguish a person from one another.

>>9590418
``Don't you want just one other person you could hang out with, talk about things without pretense?"
No. I have a best friend of about ~15 years, and I rarely spend time with him by choice. He is the person who knows the most about me, yet I still have to censor myself around him; it's tiring.

>>9590418
/jp/ is the only social interaction I need. I don't go outside because my hobbies revolve around otaku culture which don't require me to go outside thus I can't make real physical friends which I am okay with it. I am basically content with everything.

>>9590432
>That's what you think, but you're absolutely wrong.
No, he isn't. Text is the truest way to assess another consciousness at this point.

>>9590418
Does /jp/ not fulfill that role? Friends are not easy to find, especially the kind that you have described.

>>9590432
>there's situations where looks won't matter at all
I was not referring to only physical appearance, but "appearances" as the whole of human socialization. Verbal communication can only happen via proxy through a constructed image. The biggest problem I have with this is how transparent it is most of the time, it makes the conversations seem even more meaningless than they already are.

An intimate friend is a rare treasure, and even then, there's the risk of drifting apart.

>>9590418
The thing is, I've never understood the enjoyment of being friends in real life if they're not somewhat cute. Wouldn't it be far easier to get along with them if they were behind a nice 2D avatar, communicating via text online? We wouldn't even have to leave our houses.

With a cute friend/romantic partner I guess you can do things like hug and hold hands (in private), take purikura together and do other cute things like go to cafes and restaurants together. But I wouldn't want to do those things with someone who looked like OP pic.

>>9590467
You are right. This is where appearance thing comes in. If they are cute, it's only fair for you to try and look your best.

I just want money and a better appearance. Fuck everything else.

>>9590448

15 years doesn't mean shit if you spend less time with him. And what's this shit about censoring yourself around him? If he was truly your best friend, you wouldn't have to hide any part of yourself.

>it doesn't require me to go outside thus

Basically you're a lazybum fag who's safely sitting in his comfort zone. Yeah, you're content with that because that is comfortable to you. But bro, you need to step up your game and continue to make progress to elevate and enhance your experience. The choice is up to you. I spent a long time without the internet and once I was disconnected to it, I felt like crambling and didn't know what else to do since I basically lived my whole life in the web until that point.

Basically, we've become far dependent on /jp/ that we think it's only the social interaction we need. Also you can only say this because you've never made physical friends as your hobby doesn't require you to go out.

Again, the decision is yours.


>>9590466

How about we set on a quest in finding that particular friend? It's easy to say but very hard to do, nonetheless it'll be sure as rewarding when you've been able to find that person. I lost a couple of those intimate ones by inexplicable matters. It sucks hard and you find yourself at square one again. Getting discouraged to ever try making a friendship like that at all.

>>9590467

I am afraid you are too superficial to understand the point.

>>9590566
>Basically you're a lazybum fag who's safely sitting in his comfort zone
Yes and I am cool with it.
>Yeah, you're content with that because that is comfortable to you.
No shit.
>But bro, you need to step up your game and continue to make progress to elevate and enhance your experience.
This is all the progress I need. I have been fine for years in my own comfort zone.
>The choice is up to you.
I have made it a long time ago.
>I spent a long time without the internet and once I was disconnected to it, I felt like crambling and didn't know what else to do since I basically lived my whole life in the web until that point.
That sucks.
>Basically, we've become far dependent on /jp/ that we think it's only the social interaction we need.
No, I was the same without /jp/.
>Also you can only say this because you've never made physical friends as your hobby doesn't require you to go out.

Yeah I know, I am cool in my comfort zone though.

>>9590562

Ditto. Be a little girl and make it rain. That's the dream.

Before that though, we have to deal with various things: being presentable for the job, dealing with other people especially normalfags x10, and the shit goes on.

>>9590566
>Getting discouraged to ever try making a friendship like that at all.
This is the main reason why I've stopped trying. With my social skills, it's already hard enough finding a friend like that, and I don't know if I'll be able to take losing another when everything's said and done. Sure it might be rewarding, but is it worth the pain and effort? Perhaps Sisyphus would be happier if he could just let that boulder sit where it is.

>>9590604

Being content in your comfort zone is fine. But are you sure you're fine with just being content? Don't you want to step it up to DAMN MOTHERFUCKING HAPPY ?

It can be very hard to leave the zone as there is no need to do anything once you're content. The question is are you fine with being just content? Don't you want to step up your game more and make it better, double the fun and enjoyment, be damn happy and "complete"? The answer is yours to decide.

>That feel when people are simultaneously made aware of a rule, and breaking it (or at least encouraging it).
>That feel when I have to greentext just to prove my own point.

>>9590658
But eroges and other aspects of otaku culture do make me happy. If they didn't, I would probably be depressed. If when the time comes that I do need to get a job, then I'll simply adapt and get one. I don't see the need for it right now. I take it easy and go with the flow. Anyway, I am gonna go to sleep, it's already 7:30.

>>9590658
>DAMN MOTHERFUCKING HAPPY
Watch your language.

>>9590658
>Don't you want to step up your game more and make it better, double the fun and enjoyment, be damn happy and "complete"?
That makes the assumption that socialization is necessary for any of that. If your life lacks fun, enjoyment, happiness, or "completeness" then the problem is more deeply rooted than a need of people. People who need to define themselves through others are perhaps the emptiest of all.

I'm planning on going to the gym starting Monday. I even got a new shirt for it.
I don't have anyone to impress nor do I really want to, I just feel kind of disgusted with myself.

captcha was dejected (gibberish)
heuah

>>9590697
Work out at home and do body weight exercises to stay in shape. Gym memberships are overpriced garbage and exercising around other people around is just uncomfortable.

>>9590658

Apologize for forgetting to sage.

>>9590622

Yeah, of course it would be worth the pain and effort, especially when you make one that will accompany you to the end. Sometimes we just get tired of trying and finding, so taking a long break won't hurt. Let the time heal you and who knows, you might not have to find one at all as he will be the one who's gonna find you. Take a break and wait, and when you've rested enough continue on your quest.

I personally think it would be a more fulfilling life if I were to have intimate friends to live my life with rather than staying content as a loner till I die. We only have a lifetime after all, to be happy, so better use it before you hit the grave.

Again, it's very easy to say but very hard to do. Sometimes you just have to let your emotions gtfo and just do what needs to be done. Once you've taken control of it, you'll find it easier to live your life the way you want it to.

>>9590658
You can't be "damn motherfucking happy", the media lies to you saying that you can be happy by working, having money, girls and shit.

Bullshit. Try it yourself, then come back and let's see if you can say the same things. Happiness is not being able to run on the streets happily with girls and money raining over you; true happiness is being able to be satisfied with yourself and what you do. Why give a shit about what other people, brainwashed by the media, thinks?

>>9590705
Nah I got a free one, it's coo'. The problem with exercising at home is it's a million fucking degrees and my air conditioning has been out.
I don't mind goin to the gym. Gets me away from my shitty hot house.

I was a true NEET (not a hikki) for about 2 years in my early 20s because I had become disillusioned with society and the daily grind of work. My family eventually nagged/threatened me to integrate back into society at a minimum level so I got a job to have some money and at least look partially productive. I eventually joined the military because I felt like I was just spinning my wheels and the money wasn't worth the hassle, so I figured that I might as well go off the "deep end" as it were in terms of a lifestyle change.

That was over 10 years ago and I'd say I'm happier now but it took something drastic like that for me to change. People who talk about taking these baby steps to slowly inch their way back into society usually give up at the first sign of trouble. If you want to change your life significantly then you need to make some real life changing choices.

>>9590753
ZUN!bar?

>>9590768

Damn you, that was meant for >>9590753

>>9590676

Yeah, I perfectly understand that cause I am one too, but what I'm saying is to step up your game more and to experience it all live, not just from sitting behind your computer. Experience it in a new environment, in a new setting, just do something different once in a while that enhances it.

>>9590696

I believe humans are social creatures. We need an outlet to interact and socialize with other beings, be it digitally or physically. I mean if you're not a social being then you can be as well be mute or stop visiting here and posting at all. It's just that there are different levels of being sociable.


>>9590710

The media is bullshit, don't even think of mentioning it in here. If you're completely satisfied with what you have then more power to you. What am I pointing out is those who are only content to what they have but has other things they want to achieve. Like for myself, I am content that I've been living as a truNEET for years but I want to get a job and get fucking rich to properly support my hobbies. You don't know how I'd be extremely happy when that happens.

What's up with this nerd from r9k telling people what to do?

>>9590566
>But bro, you need to step up your game and continue to make progress to elevate and enhance your experience.
What the fuck, get the fuck out of here.

>I felt like crambling and didn't know what else to do since I basically lived my whole life in the web until that point.
Well I haven't. Why are you assuming things?

>>9590281
>That is why I'm suggesting to improve your fucking appearances so you won't be that painful to look upon and be more as presentable as you can. Fuck.
Look at all this projection.

Improve this
*grabs dick*

>>9590792
>I mean if you're not a social being then you can be as well be mute or stop visiting here and posting at all
You are advocating physical socialization for the sake of spiritual or existential fulfillment. We may need to express ourselves, sure, but that applies little in the world of normative "socialization". I go here because of its novelty. It's an indulgence. I don't come to /jp/ to "complete" myself. I am already complete.

>>9590792
>but I want to get a job and get fucking rich to properly support my hobbies. You don't know how I'd be extremely happy when that happens.
As I said, go try it and then come back and let's see. What's the point of having money for your hobbies if you won't ever have the time to spend on them because of your job?

I'm just slowly going insane and waiting for the inevitable nuclear war which will send us all back to the 19th century except with wireless internet connection.

I played Last Story last night and it made me wish I looked as fabulously homoerotic as Dagran.

>>9590792
Oh you silly.
Why do you think we're spending so much time imagining ourselves in
worlds and stories that are more exiting than the real world? Because
we're too to scared to try? Because we're socially retarded? Don't
make me laugh.

Getting a job girlfriend/real friends/job or whatever other shitty
stuff you think is so great in the real world are actually very
feasible goals. Anyone (even the most screwed up /jp/sies) could at
least achieve some of them if they wanted to.
But the sad truth is that the real world sucks. Even with those vices.

I, like many others, have actually had all those things and I was
still miserable.

But do what you want; keep deluding yourself that real world isn't
hell, fuck sum hot bitches or whatever, but stop preaching on /jp/.

I don't really have anything to do for the next week till I head off to college.
So, uh, not at the moment?

You do realize this is a NEET thread, right?

To those of you who want to do something with their lives but can't force themselves to, here's the thing.

Go get some therapy. Or drugs, or both, but therapy is important. Whether it's depression, anxiety, whatever - GO GET SOME PROFESSIONAL HELP. It's not that scary. Trust me on this.

No, fucking seriously, do it.

Is it necessary? No. I managed without it.

But all those years that it took me to deal with my fucked-up brainscape I'll never get back.

But I've seen people who got past that ridiculous pride that kept me from seeking help get better much faster than they could on their own.

And that is IF they could - I was fucking lucky. But if, these couple years back, I wouldn't get interrupted when I was going to off myself, I wouldn't be here today.

I'm better now. I'm getting my life on track, I'm moving. Slowly but surely. Some day, I might even be happy. Not today, maybe not tomorrow, but some day, for sure.

So could you.

But the odds are much better if you let others help you.

>>9590934
>Do you have plans to improve your life at all /jp/? Like improving yourself, your appearance, your physique, your intelligence, curing your autism, having friends, getting a job, going outside more and interacting with people.

Nope

>>9590886
You seem a little defensive and angry, if you're so happy why is that?

envy - A feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else's possessions, qualities, or luck.

I make plans
and then I don't follow through because I lack the motivation
Hell, at around 4 in the morning I feel at the to of my game and actually look at the universities page to get back into school.
If I could do everything at 4 and set it all in motion, I would be alright.
The world doesn't operate on that schedule though.

>>9590847

Good for you that you are complete. I have never said it has to be a physical socialization anyway. Again, this thread was for those who are incomplete like me. Yes, it is also an indulgence to me visiting here, it adds pleasure to me, thus making me happy, though I'm content I'm not yet fully satisfied as how my life is right now. I was searching for similar people when I posted this. I am trying to head my way towards completeness.
>>9590861

How much do you plan on fucking working that you don't have the time to do your hobbies? Do you work like 12 fucking hours a day? Hell no.

>>9590906

>Someone who wants to be liked, but doesn't try to make himself look good is just self-centered.

If only, I'm too paranoid and self-conscious to be like that, hence I've turned into a shut-in for years.

I have never been a truNEET or a hikki, but everyday I feel like becoming one. During my late teenages and my early 20s I really TRIED to be a normal person, I finished schoool, I lost 30kg and got fit, went to college, made friends and almost got a girlfriend, I got my deegre, got out of my parents house, and I got a job that lets me pay my own aparment. I am what modern society pushed me to be and I totally believed it ougth to be that way. But you know what??, I am not happy, I hate people, I hate society, I hate the system, I am fucking schizoid and I hate socializing, it even hurts. I work as a graphic designer and attending hundreds of people everyday in a photo-store and I feel like fucking punching someone if I hear another stupid question from another stupid client. I don`t want to keep this facade of the nice friendly guy for all my life and keep living like society tells me to do.

I want to take everything I have and go live in an isolated place in the middle of Los Andes and forget about every person I know, I can`t even stand talking to my family or ¨friends¨ anymore.

So yeah I don`t want to improve or acomplish anything , there is nothing satisfactory about that anymore.

>>9590143
>Like improving yourself, your appearance, your physique, your intelligence, curing your autism, having friends, getting a job, going outside more and interacting with people.
You said improve your life, those things are not life, life is elsewhere.

I no longer feel any concerns or obligations to general society, if I felt them before. I realized I was right, so all that matters is being happy. All I have to do.

>>9591020
>How much do you plan on fucking working that you don't have the time to do your hobbies?

8-9 hour work day.
1+ hour commute.
1+ hour chores/cooking.
Tired after work, only have energy to mindlessly browse the net.

What hobbies?

I have a lot of things that I want to work on but I piss all my time away on pointless shit instead.

>>9591023
Normally I don't do this kind of thing, but if you want, you can live vicariously through me until the autism bucks stop coming in.

>>9590948
I'm unhappy, I give you that. This life is infinitely more satisfying than anything I experienced in my 22 years of playing by the rules, but it isn't all that great either.

If you know any secrets of normalfag life, something you think I haven't experienced, please do share.

>>9591020
>How much do you plan on fucking working that you don't have the time to do your hobbies? Do you work like 12 fucking hours a day?
Most people do. I understand that you live under a rock but don't go over here and pretend you know anything about reality.

>>9591023
Yeah, expecting yourself to be happy for doing what you didn't want. Right.

>>9591071

You seem too stressed or unhappy doing your work. If you can't really find time to do your hobbies then something must be modified or changed.

>>9591164

I'm sorry, but where I live the average working hours usually lasts around 8 hours. It would also depend on the job you're taking.

>>9590178
Caring about my looks consists of wearing clean clothes without any holes. I don't work in an ENTERPRISE context and I never will, so fuck your ENTERPRISE business suits.

I don't give a fuck about my looks, but I do like to be clean, which is more than enough for being able to social interaction to a bare minimum.

>how you appear to people
You mean "That guy who's always sitting in front of a computer"? No, I don't really care. If you give a single damn about what the normalfags at your school think about you, you should fuck off back to /v/.

Yes, I'm 31 and live alone.

I'm perfectly normal and have no problems with my appearance or mind. I have always been lazy, but I have had friends, I've had girlfriends. I simply became a bit of a hermit because I don't like working, and why work when the government gives me free money? I'm raking in more than thousand dollars a month. I DO work once in awhile unfortunately. Although not very often, its off the books when I need a little extra cash. I don't get taxed and the government has no clue I'm bringing in extra cash so they won't strip me of my bennies. Tehehe, you can suck my cock.

>>9590202
It's true, you can't be a truNEET forever.

That's why you get a stable source of income that doesn't involve too much social interaction, move to Northern Europe and live alone.

You don't need to improve your appearance, physique, interact with people on a frequent basis, get friends to achieve your goals,

What the fuck am I supposed to improve? I fucking shower, brush my teeth, shave. It's not my fucking fault I was born ugly. What do you want me to do? Get pretty.

Fuck. Fuck this thread.

>>9590262
>adding fellow bros to your life
What the fuck? That means you don't enjoy the NEET lifestyle. You're fucking desperate, you're a normalfag.

>getting a job to support your fucking hobby
Yeah, but you don't have to "hang out with le redditbros xD" to get a job.

>>9591164
>>9591251
Yeah when I was working in Quincy MA I was at work 9 hours a day, I had an hour free for a lunch break, and my commute was nearly an hour in the morning. I still did manage to raid in WoW at this time but you lose a lot of hobby time with work. When you factor in driving, overtime, socialization(which is believe it or not just as important as showing up on time in some jobs), and off the clock work. It really is over 8 hours a day. I was spending 10+ hours a day because of my job, and it was minimum wage and a temp position.

>>9590320
>I, on the other hand, want to explore the vast stuffs life has to offer.
Well, NEET doesn't mean hikki. You can travel around the world and do fun things without "curing your autism and getting friends". Just what kind of warped definition of happiness do you have?

I'm not a NEET i'm a BEET

>>9590948
There are certain things in life you have to experience yourself before you can believe them.
I think this is one of them. We warned the guy. Now let him try, fail (or succeed), become disillusioned and come back crying when everything is too mean and cruel for him.

Now take it easy OP and delete this thread. It's not helping anyone, unless you get off on the attention.

I plan on helping in the evolution of man, unfortunately this will in the end require social interaction and networking.

I just hope that the people I have to interact with later aren't that retarded, which isn't too much to ask of grad students and professors.

Other goals in life include buying an apartment for myself and start a mushroom farm.

Do you really want to hear my answer?
Or do you want me to just comfort you?

Why do you people think getting a job is some sort of shocking, life-changing event? It's work, it's what you're supposed to do. Nothing special about it. Get off your high horse, fucking wage-slaves.

>>9591330
I don't think you understand what wage-slave means, wage-slave.

>>9590658
I already took it to the next level, though.

I went and played squash. Alone. Then I had a nice picnic outside. Alone. Without all this
>improving yourself, your appearance, your physique, your intelligence, curing your autism, having friends, getting a job, going outside more and interacting with people
shit.

Okay I went outside but you get my point.

>>9591071
Please tell me you live alone. If you don't, you fucking deserve your shit life.

(doesn't count if you have to support your family, though, that's understandable)

>>9591330
Get off your high horse, leech. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Why is this seething vitriol towards people with careers so common amongst NEETs?

-fellow leech

>>9590948
I'll give you that, he looks a little defensive.

But in all honesty, all these normalfag things like getting a girlfriend and friends look so fucking boring to me.

On the other hand, I literally start leaping like a retard around my house when I get my Lisp textgames working. From what I've read, making text game in CL is the very definition of autism and I just don't understand why you want to force your definition of fun on me.

Why do people think autism and fun are mutually exclusive? Did you ever come on your pants after making a rail system in Minecraft? No? Well, that's why you don't understand truHAPPY and that's why you get girlfriends and do that stuff.

>>9591355
Becuase of people like OP. NEETs were generally less hostile before it became such a status symbol around here, partly becuase there weren't very many people coming over to the board specifically just to tell them to get jobs.

The preachy normaldolt types beget the preachy truNEET types.

>>9591023
> I am what modern society pushed me to be and I totally believed it ougth to be that way. But you know what??, I am not happy, I hate people, I hate society, I hate the system, I am fucking schizoid and I hate socializing, it even hurts.

I suppose keeping this sort of bullshit to one thread was never really going to work - after all, /jp/ needs plenty of personal soapboxes to accomodate the huge egos of its denizens. Still, tone it down a bit, will you? I can almost hear your bitter sobs all the way from the tea thread.

>>9591023
>I'm fucking schizoid
>I hate everything xD
schizoid n.
- An individual who doesn't give a single fuck about anything.

Yeah you sure are ``schizoid", le redditbro.

ｗｗｗｗｗｗ

>>9591355
I have a job, you stupid fuck. But normalshits are pushing this gay belief that having a job is like some status symbol or something and it makes them better. It's just work. Work is work, but normalshits base their entire personal lives around it. Is it so fucking difficult to separate the two?

Fuck.

my face when a fat redneck weeaboo with acne masturbated to chinese little girl cartoons near me.

>>9591023
It's funny how you turbonerds always lash out at "normals", it's almost like you're a little threatened by them. What happened to taking it easy, why are you all so better if being a NEET is so great?

>>9591393

Indeed, work is something that poor people have to do, it shouldn't be held as something amazing or even desirable.

I'm happy with being a NEET that only plays VNs and games the whole day.

>>9591350

I quit that job because I've never been more unhappy in my life. I live alone.

>>9591393
>normalshits are pushing this gay belief that having a job is like some status symbol or something and it makes them better

Kind of like NEETs do in every single thread?

Well, I'm in my last phase of interview process for a position at Google.
I've been practicing Kendo. I got into it late, but it's very fun, keeps me at shape, and fulfills my weeaboo needs all at once.
I've also been trying to be more out going. Simple Pickup are the biggest bros ever.

>>9591415
Not, not kind of like NEETs do in every single thread.

Do you see people praising NEET life on your facebook or reddit or wherever the fuck it is you came from?

>>9591393
>It's just work. Work is work, but normalshits base their entire personal lives around it.
Whoa, you wanna project a little more there or are you quite content at generalising only a couple billiion of the world's people?

>>9591415
What exactly are they pushing? That life without a job and more free time is better? Those bloody lunatics!

Don't you fucking dare look at me with such scorn. I am a human fucking being!

>>9591425
No, but I see NEETdom being praised as a status symbol here all the time.

If having a job isn't a status symbol, like you love to claim, then being NEET shouldn't be either.

>>9590143
>stupid fuck
>normalshits
>gay
>normalshits
>fucking
>Fuck


Calm down. Some people base their lives around imaginary Chinese Cartoon girls and revere plastic figurines as some status symbols. How is this any less ludicrous?
I don't think glorifying work is better or worse than any other obsession. I think your frustration boils down to
>STOP LIKING THINGS I DISLIKE

>>9591430
Well he got most of them down pretty easy. Most people enjoy working, and have difficulty taking it easy if they do not.

>>9591437
>Most people enjoy working

I must be fucked in the head then.

>>9591425
>Do you see people praising NEET life on your facebook or reddit or wherever the fuck it is you came from?
Are you trying to say that status symbol only exist in this 'normal' world that you seem to insist you are entirely removed from?

Look around you. This is an entire thread with 130+ replies devoted to a pissing contest of who is 't3h NEETest lel'.

>>9591439
We are here for a reason, Anonymous.

>>9591425
Every time somebody mentions having a friend or being enrolled at a college a bunch of you "truNEET xDD" faggots tell them to go to facebook or tumblr. It just makes you guys look pathetic and bitter.

The whole social life isn't for me, so I don't participate in it and choose to stay in my room. But I don't lash out at people who enjoy a different lifestyle. Grow up.

You sound like old people. "Did you see what happened at work?", "One day at work...", "The boss told me I did a good job today... at work", "WORK WORK WORK WORK".

>>9591446
It's kind of the opposite, really.

>>9591446
The difference is when they invade our space and try to make us fit to their whims. Reddit, Tumblr, et cetera, should not be here.

>>9591437
>Most people enjoy working
No. Most people hate work - which I'm sure you'll find is apparent if you look at job dissatisfaction figures - but they realise work is a necessity because they aren't an autistic manchild nannied by the state or their mother.

Your lack of realism with regards to real life seems to suggest you've been mollycoddled.

>>9591446
It's a defense mechanism developed against passive-aggressive people like the OP.

>>9591446
But these are NEET threads. They shouldn't be here in the first place.

>>9591455
They may not enjoy their job, but if you put normal people in a NEET lifestyle, they feel dissatisfied and unproductive.

What the fuck happened to yall niggaz? I thought /jp/ was a fun zone where people took it easy n shit, but this seems more like /r9k/ general with a bunch of angry virgins who hate everything.

-/sp/

>>9591461
We take it easy but our passions are easily inflamed. I guess it's hard for people who don't believe in anything to understand though.

>>9591461
Read the sticky, loser. Shitposting is against the rules now.

>>9591437
>Most people enjoy working

Normals really enjoy it? Really?

>>9591461
I went on /sp/ a half-hour ago to ask a question about football. Every thread on the front page was a post like this, about clapping or Americans or shootings or something. I thought they were being invaded, but it seems that's just regular /sp/.

>>9591461
Welcome to neo/jp/

>>9591461
I hear /sp/ has become the new goto board for pointless shitposting.

If this is true, how do you feel about that?

>>9591466
Not him, it's a love and hate relationship for most people.
They don't want to go to work in the morning, but they will never want to be jobless.

>>9591466
And a normal person would say "Being a shut in with no friends.. NEETs enjoy that? Really?".

>>9591469
wasn't it always that way?

>>9591459
So do most NEETs, statistically, hence the correlation between things like unemployment, lonliness, 'Internet addiction', and suicide.

NEETs aren't some glorified bunch of Übermenschen that have some ascended mortal worries and fears. Anyone who is content in a NEET position is content because there is no danger - someone is looking after them, be that their parents or the state. If a NEET has no means of continuing to live his NEET existence beyond a certain forseeable point (or the outcome is hazy), I've no doubt he will feel dissatisified, too.

>>9591473

I have friends though.

My computer and the internet, best friend a man can ask for.

It's not all it's cracked up to be, being NEET for years. Best thing to do is find a balance, get a job you can do from home or helps further your interest or something and gets you money. It is possible and it doesn't have to be a bad job either.

I was a NEET for 7 years and I got super bored with it in the end.

>>9591455
>realism

The reality is that you are a strange animal born for no good reason on a rock floating through space without purpose. Don't invent stuff that isn't there.

>>9591487
I don't even know you exist. What kind of a friend is that?

>>9591491

Very true, trying hard in life is truly meaningless.

New /jp/:
I'M THE NEETEST
WUD U SUCK IT ``PLEASE"
``''
I CAN'T TAKE IT EASY WITHOUT A BLOG THREAD
I CAN'T TAKE IT EASY GENERAL

>>9591479
Most people would typically include most subcategories of people, and as a result most NEETs. /jp/ is not exactly most people, though.

>>9591461
I just clicked on /sp/ and the first thing I saw was a miserable /r9k/ baww thread about male baldness.

Go revel in you pool of shit since you identify with it.

>>9591492

Well here I am, I exist, that's all you need to know.

Exchanging names and faces is pointless, it would only put restrictions on how we interact with each other.

>>9591469
Meh. There's nothing interesting to talk about for sports during the night/early morning hours when there's no games on, so the board usually devolves into shitposting then. Go during the daytime and it's mostly on-topic. The on/off-topic balance there is pretty good with minimal butthurt compared to most other boards, though.

>>9591491
>The reality is that you are a strange animal born for no good reason on a rock floating through space without purpose.
If you're going to reduce life into such a glib overarching statements - if life truly means so little to you, and you regard 'real life' as some sort of foggy illusion - then feel free to go and kill yourself.

>>9591509
If you died right now, I wouldn't even know. In fact, I wouldn't even feel any sort of sadness even if I knew. You are nameless to me as any other random person on this planet.

I have never been happier than I was when I was a NEET.

/jp/ has the right idea. Their only problem is sustaining their lifestyle.

Contrary to popular belief... most neets are normals.

>>9591515

That's a good thing, why would I want to make you sad with my death?

I want to learn how to bake bread, tasty bread.

>>9591503
Again, you've got this glorified notion of /jp/ like we're somehow distinct or aloof from other people. We're fucking not, okay? There are some people who can genuinely be called NEETs, plenty of people who can't but pretend to, and plenty of people who don't care about this bullshit and wish this thread was deleted. Nothing about /jp/'s NEET populaton excludes them from the definition of 'most NEETs'. Fucking nothing. We're all 'normalfags'. We're not unique or special or even noteworthy because we have some (arguably) niche interests.

I do not get upset when other people live normal lives and have friends, so why are you guys being so mean and yelling? Please everyone try and relax. If someone enjoys something you do not, it is no big deal as long as it makes them happy.

>>9591531
Well, it actually does. Most people here have patterns of thought or desires or et cetera that seperate them from the common masses.

>>9591531

The teenagers on /a/ think that their '3DPD NORMALFAG' shit can fly on other boards because they think we will empathize; actually we grew out of that mindset years ago

It's an /a/ meme that people take too seriously.

Get out of /jp/ and go back to /a/. We have lots of idol and seiyuu wota here. This is otaku culture, not aniota culture. No need to drag everyone else down with your bitterness.

>>9591571
2D for life!

I don't think the neet 3dpd shit would be so bad if people could realize that being a bum and escapism are not concepts which are totally original to this message board.

I never understood why people think hanging out with people isn't a waste of time.

I never understood why people think masturbating to cartoons all day alone in your room isn't a waste of time.

>>9591601
the longing of socializing with people is embedded into our DNA
that's the reason we are on /jp/ too.

I never understood why people were so desperate to validate their choices as something so endlessly wise and correct that it's the only right choose for all living beings.

>>9591613
Because it's their life.

>>9591618
I mean what's so bad if you get life wrong? Doesn't it just make you an asshole to think there is a particular way to get it "right"?

What's so bad about getting your only life wrong? Doesn't sound like a difficult thing to understand.

>>9591637

it's actually very difficult to understand it, could you please explain it to me in clear detail since it's so obvious to you?

>>9591642
Admitting one messed up his/her only life is hard.

Socializing is a subtle game with various levels.

The reason we are here anonymously and not in real life is to avoid skin-on-skin, more personal type of socializing.

Intimate roleplaying like this is an insult to the board and displays your lack of subtlety and lack of awareness. Take this pretend-glomping shit somewhere where it is more appreciated.

>>9591694

That's pretty gay, no thank you.

>>9591704
This is, in fact, wrong. I've lived many times before and will live many times in the future. I don't know how or why but I'm currently in a time loop. I don't know the exact conditions or how to escape, all I know is that at some point in the future I will return to some point in the past. How do I know? I just do.

I'm not such a self-centered person to believe that I'm a "chosen one" and am the only one experiencing the loop. I imagine many others are conscious of it or at some point will become conscious of it.

So if you're worried about death, don't be. You only live as many times as it takes for one of us to figure out how to end this loop.

>>9591733
Cool story bro.

>>9591733
Too much sci fi man.

>>9591704
>>9591733
Holy fuck I just figured out what YOLO means.

>>9591784

Only douche bags use it.

>>9591777
I'm sorry, I just wanted someone to respond. Maybe next time you'll be able to help me out, or I you.

>>9591733
What? Please explain.

Most importantly, does your gender ever change?

As arrogant as this may sound, I do believe I was born with a fair bit of potential. Sometimes I lament the fact that I've squandered so much time, but the sentiment passes quickly. Do you know why?

That's because there is no long term purpose in doing so. Let's say I did devote myself to becoming a superior person. At the end of the road, what have I really achieved? Sure, I might be able to look in the mirror and think I look mighty fine, or take comfort in the fact that I know more computer science than my friend Bill--but these sorts of shallow feelings fade away in time. Ask yourself; with your newly gained skills, what manner of substance can and will you attain?

For many people, the reason behind their "bettering themselves" appears to be a desire to find sexual partners. But for those of us who are not interested in such things, what point does any of this serve?

I admit that much of my argument is exaggerated and that there are indeed solid benefits to certain things the OP listed (e.g. improving intelligence can lead to higher quality of life and a heightened physique can help you survive longer). But the bottom line is this: overall, the benefit:effort ratio is simply way too imbalanced.

>>9591795
As far as I can tell I'm always the same person with slight differences in personality due to different experiences. Though it would explain my desire to be a girl if I had actually been one at some point.

>>9591692
I'm glad. My friend has it up still on that URL, just the rest of the site to navigate to it is gone. I always thought it was very poignant.

Anyway rejoice anon, you can't live your life wrong at all.

>>9591733
Is this Buddism-inspired?

>>9591816
What's the point in living another shitty life if I can't be a cute girl.

>>9591831
In another life you might not even want to be a girl. That probably won't make it any less shitty though.

>>9591799
Consider it as leaving your name on this planet. Do you not want to be remembered while you are alive and after you die?
If not, don't worry and enjoy your NEET life.

>>9591842
If I become a normalfag that's even worse

>>9591838
Time will pass. Trillions of years fly by in an instant to the dead. The Earth will be gone. It's not like it matters. Nothing gets left behind.

>>9591838

Is there any reason to be remembered when history will be wiped clean any way?

>>9591861
You are thinking too much ahead.
>>9591862
There's no reason to be alive in the first place. It's about what you want.

>>9591838
I don't really "want" anything. Neither being forgotten or being remembered appeal to me all that much. But for curiosity's sake, how will doing any of that help me be remembered? Do you mean that in the sense of me leaving bigger impressions on people, or maybe that more people will get to know me if I socialize frequently?

>>9591861
But will your legacy remain? Ultimately, this is just another humor. Mayhaps the more noteworthy ones may come again in another such misadventure. Not everything is exactly as it appears, after all.

>>9591878
Well, just anything really. Everyone has a different way of doing it, but I think in the end it all comes to same idea. Just being recognized by other people and leaving a mark that you existed on this planet.
Anything from having a child to making a video game under your name that people enjoyed. Anything.

Well, I'm nowhere near overweight. I'm socially acceptable but run on the lonely side because I'm starting college soon and friends are moving out. I'm always well shaven because I don't really agree with the gender I was born as. I go out of my way to have impressive fashion. I'm in my top pick school, so I'm clearly not unintelligent.

Really, I need to get out and interact more. Having a job has been good for that to an extent, but I'm sure college will be fantastic.

I'm really doing okay, actually. Thanks for the self esteem boost Anon-san.
