You know meido, he has a point.

Make the subject "NEET lifestyle". "NEET sanctuary" sounds like a gay place for homolords.

Stop using bad images and they wouldn't be deleted.

>>9889497
At least it's better than the same three Kaguya/Madotsuki pictures. That one with Reisen must have been posted at least ten times by now.

>>9889497
Please don't be mean to Keine

>>9889533
I'm sorry I let my emotions get the best of me.

>>9889493
Might as well call a spade a spade

As I was saying before.
Do you think Gensokyo will still judge kindly to those whom remain pure until marriage?

>>9889541
I'm taking back my apology since the janitor is attempting to censor me.

The weather has been awesome lately. I go to sleep in a decently chilly room and wake up in a perfectly warm. It's perfect.

>>9889562
I reported your post.

My dad is constantly asking me when I'm gonna actually settle down with a girl instead of the flings I usually do.
I just have severe commitment issues that basically cripple me anytime someone gets close.
It doesn't help that I'm extremely picky about vaginas and 95% of them disgust me with their dingly dangles and whatnot.

Do any of you guys have to piss like every 30 minutes?

I drink a lot.

I'll take a couple gulps before I watch an anime episode and by the end of it I gotta piss again.

This cycle continues pretty much all day.

Do I have a health condition or am I just drinking too much /jp/?

>>9889638
Congratz on the prostate cancer.

>>9889650
How do I get rid of it?

>>9889638
How much water do you drink? That has a lot to do with it.

Keine wouldn't shelter such filthy scum. She's got enough EETs willing to die fighting for her.

>>9889615
Why are you going out with 3D in the first place?

>>9889638
As long as your urine is clear you're probably doing fine. You presented a false dichotomy, just keep doing what you're doing. No such thing as too much water. IANAD if anything becomes uncomfortable or if your urine is pretty yellow despite drinking a lot I would see a professional

>>9889889
Because he's a falseNEET like many others on here. Hope school's going well radiology anon and you've settled into your GE workplace engineering anon.

>>9889638
I have that same issue. It's getting annoying, I never used to have to go this much. Now I'm pissing and running out of piss bottles and I can't keep up

Ok, one thing I never understood about couples is, what is the reason you need to jerk off if you're in a relationship living together? What type of bitch is gonna be like "I don't want sex?" Are you that beta? Most of the fun of it is you either date someone looking to marry, or just want steady ass (everything else is bullshit)?

If it's a LDR, that's one thing, but living together and still not getting tons of ass?

about to watch the second presidential debate

I hope Obama kicks Romney's white male cis ass

>>9889615
Why do pro-social middle class folks have to have such artificial problems? Your situation sounds ridiculous.

I have been watching game streams/educational stuff all day.

>>9889998

Oooh another clown act debate? Time to go to /pol/ again.

I need to get a job soon or else my mom will kick me out of my bonsai garden. And right after I blew my life savings on a vintage tea set!

What do you NEETs do for work?

>>9890067
I work for a accounting/consulting firm.

>>9890067
I suck a few penises every now and then.

in all seriousness is it fun mooching off your parents don't they ever bug you to get a job or something? Don't you ever feel bad mooching off them? What do your siblings think about you being a shut in? isn't it embarrassing being in your mid twenties and going to get dinner from your family?

don't mean to offend just want opinions

>>9890084
same guy also how do you feel about living with your parents in your late 20's

>>9890084
>Don't you ever feel

>>9889615
Go to the army and come back with ptsd, then whine about your problems and I will gladly listen.

>>9890084
I don't

>>9890098
...!bar? Is that you? What was your final rank before discharge anyways?

>>9890084
I don't feel bad about mooching since it's not like I borrow money or anything.

>>9890106
He's still in.

>>9889490
Cute image dude.

>>9890124
If he gets redeployed to Iran or somewhere and KIA'd, do you think he has a death letter to his waifu or /jp/ even? See you all in Gensokyo faggots.

>>9890154
their are no troops in Iran idiot have you been living under a rock?

>>9890160
there*

>>9890160
Thats not what the news has been sayin

>>9890160
So you're saying there's 0% of going to war with Iran? Well that's just like your opinion man.

>>9890163
i doubt it iran has Nukes meaning we can't invade

>>9890169
Oy vey! We've made it quite clear that at least we think there's still time for a pre-emptive strike. Temporarily stop nuke program and invade. You better have our backs on this!

Love,
Israel

>>9890176
fucking kike kill yourself

>>9890169
A country like Iran cannot be left unchecked.

>>9890178
Fuck off you bitchass Jew. Kill all Jews and destroy Israel

>>9890177
How about this goy? You tell MD to hurry up and sell us the goddamn F-15 Silent Eagle extended range version. Outdated Iranian jets won't see us coming. SAMs will still be dangerous but the objective comes first and flying low should be alright. Fuck it. You know what? Just tell the CIA to smuggle us a few Raptors or Nighthawks.

It looks like Romney wants to beat the shit out of Obama or slam his mike or something.

Please remember Rustle does not trace anything, /jp/. It's just an "epic /a/ meme" (shitposting).

http://www15.big.or.jp/~rustle/le.html

>>9890191
Obviously he wouldn't admit to it.

>>9890195
You can watch him if you doubt his words.

>>9890191
All this applies to his more sketchy drawings which are actually quite good. Nobody believes his self-portraits or that Suika picture are traced, for example. But his own defense falls apart because his lolicon drawings that he doesn't stream or provide WIPs for are almost immaculate. The anatomy is perfect and not an abstraction, save the obvious manga-inspired faces and head shapes. Plus there are popular child modelling sets that match his lolis a little too perfectly, at least in pose but not in setting.

Plenty of artists trace 3D. There are countless examples you can find with a quick Google search. Whether the artist of >>9870240 admitted he traced, I don't know, but it's fairly obvious judging by >>9870568. At this point it isn't a reference, it's outright stealing if you're not giving credit or asking permission. That's why it's banned even on websites like DeviantART. I just wish Rustle would have the gonads to admit it, because he's an otherwise decent artist. This all reminds me of that situation where some webcomic artist traced a photograph of the Big Ben and got a lot of crap for it.

>>>9890084
>going to get dinner from your family?

My parents give me money for food, so I go to the store, buy ingredients, and make dinner for everyone. Is there some reason I should feel embarrassed about this?

I think I just took it too far. I went for a trip on the internet for a fap session, and I ended up with twelve tabs of loli toddlercon. Advice?

I've never known what that means.

No, I'm really concerned. Am I becoming a monster? Will I continue turning to increasingly disgusting porn until I become another guro babyfuck scat fan? Is there anyway to just go back to regular loli? Please tell me there is!

>>9889917
>No such thing as too much water.

Ever heard about water intoxication, you dumb motherfucker?

>>9890118
? Everything you've ever received has been borrowed money

Your parents lend you money making a investment on the assumption that you're going to become a decent human being supplying them with happy memories. Those pleasant memories and the feelings of pride and supporting them when they are older are the payback for that borrowed money

>>9889738
According to the lines on the side of the bottle next to me I'm drinking on average 230 ml of water every 30 minutes.

does alcohol help?

26 and haven't left my house since I was 13.

You will have to deal with the hikkis because you used our 1 allocated fuck-ups thread on your NEET discriminatory bias.

how the fuck do all the welfare assholes aford boose, a house and internet...

some even have cars and XBAWKS

>>9891026
Ever hear how many people die from it, you literal retard?

>>9891199
Cute image dude.

>>9891586
you can't even drop out until 16 years old. there is no way you could be holed up since 13

>>9891649
I dropped out in grade 8.

I went from public high school, entered into an alternative program, dropped out of that, threatened to kill myself, medicated (clonazapam, rispiradrone, something that starts with a K) in a 2nd alternative program and then dropped out of that after 2 months after freaking out withdrawing from clonazapam and refusing to deal with their bullshit.

Yes they threatened me but you cant really force someone to do anything. I slept 13 hours a day anyway.

I'm short on cash.

Other than that, life is good.

>>9891743
but you were still out of the house at 13 therefore you lied.

any theories why there are so many NEETs in generation Y?

Are we shit?
parent(s) shit?
free love/single parenting?
debt problems?
economy/globalization shit?
community shit?
no role models?
too spoiled?
lots of retards in an echo chamber?
feel entitled not to flip burgers?

>>9891819

This.

yes definatly for me at least. i probably wouldnt be a neet if I lived in a big city

ive never had a role model

im barely spoiled or maybe im just incredibly entitled

huh
>feel entitled not to flip burgers?
i do feel entitled not to flip burgers

Do I have to have worked in the past to be eligible? The online screening test said that I was eligible for both ssi and child's Insurance benefits.
Will they put me on SSI if I live with my mother and she has stable income?
I'm planning on getting a 5150 soon, but I don't want to do it if I can't get anything out of it; it's too frightening,

All NEETs have NEETed a NEET NEET NEET with their NEET hikki ways, I NEET that we can NEET as NEETs should. It doesnt NEET if you NEET hikki NEET NEET.

>>9892093
From what I have heard getting SSi is easier if you haven't worked in the past. Also you/(whoever you live with) have to be somewhat poor to qualify too.
I went through a 5150 back in January, but haven't even looked into getting SSI, because I live with my parents are they make decent money.

>>9892010
Nigga this ain't no survey!

>>9892099
im sorry i was just lonely

>>9892103
W-Well maybe we could have made it a survey.

>>9891819
We're just sheltered middle class white kids who decided an imaginary life on the internet was superior to reality. It's a pretty wise choice if you don't mind missing out on parties and other normalfag "luxuries".

>>9892102
I live with my mother, but I can list my father instead, and he's retired with a pension. When I get on disability, I won't be getting anything from my mother; she explicitly told me that she was going to kick me out if I don't get a job and go to school. I'll have to buy my own food, and I'll have to pay rent.

have any NEET's ever been kicked out? They're must be someone out they're who's parents got sick of paying for them.

>>9892178
I did, twice actually. I ended up moving in with some piece of shit I went to school with so it won't be a future issue.

>>9892216
Are you still a NEET?

>>9892220
Yeah, I've been collecting the bucks for some time.
Which was actually the cause of me getting kicked out the second time.

I keep saying I'll get foodstamps, but the need isn't strong enough to force me out of the house. One day I'll do it though.

>>9892230
It's worthwhile. that way you can spend all of your money on fun things like figures and dakimakura!

>>9892236
I know, the savings are pretty good and I could eat a lot better, but someone told me I'll have to do another face to face interview for it, and that's a huge ordeal for me.

>>9892239
I understand, I'm on the verge of a panic attack while thinking about my upcoming 5150. If I take a bunch of DPH and DXM and then say that I overdosed trying to commit suicide, will they put me in a 5150? I'm already planning on doing a gram and a half of DPH (40 benadryl tablets) and ~600mg of DXM later this week, should I just try to get it over with then?

>>9892254
Since I got on the bucks before Uncle Remus came about and standardized the whole process, I can't speak with any real experience on the matter of 5150s, but I don't think those particular chemicals will do much for your case, not to mention a history of drug abuse could make the road a little harder.

The DXM will make them think you're a junkie, the DPH will make them think you're a masochist, or just very poorly informed. Just do like the guide says and show up at the ER, say you want to kill yourself, and save yourself the trouble.

>>9892254
I'd just take a bunch of DXM and don't tell them about it. In the best case scenario you'll end up with serious depersonalization and HPPD, giving you an edge in the interview.

>>9892269
>The DXM will make them think you're a junkie
Why would they think that? Psychedelics aren't something that people get addicted to. I'll follow the remus guide, then; my main problem is that I dread the ER visit, but I guess that being extremely anxious in this situation can't hurt.

>>9892269
>DPH will make them think you're a masochist
Come on now, who doesn't love translucent spiders?

>>9892293
Becuase chugging cough syrup has been the past time of kids without access to anything better for decades now. Doing that wouldn't earn you any points, at the very least.

>I'll follow the remus guide, then; my main problem is that I dread the ER visit, but I guess that being extremely anxious in this situation can't hurt.

The ER trip could safely be handled dead stinking drunk, if you're of age. But the anxiety will help loads with your case. Remember to fucking look the part.

>>9892294
I never said being an M was a bad thing.

Pure little girls do not do drugs.

>>9892303
>Remember to fucking look the part.
I do. I'm super twitchy and jumpy, I always rock back and forth and drum on things with my fingers and legs while static, my speech is disorganized, and I never make eye contact.
Additionally, my skin is super pale, and I have huge bags under my eyes from being unable to sleep.
>>9892308
Who said we were pure?

>>9892130
its fine friend nobody would have cared about what i said anyway

i was just venting

Looking at chen makes me happy

>>9892102
How do they check if you've worked in the past? I've had one job but I had it for so little time/made so little money I never had to file taxes or anything on it. Other than that I've never been employed.

I've been thinking about going for SSI. I have a pretty solid history of mental illness in my family, including immediate family. I match the DSM diagnosis of a Schizoid almost perfectly, and can still fall back on social anxiety otherwise, and also come from a low income household. I might have a decent chance at SSI if I went after it. The only thing I'm really concerned about is how my family might feel about it.

Also, does anyone happen to know if your home state affects SSI at all or is it a purely federal program?

>>9892376
If you didn't pay taxes, you don't have to claim that you worked that job.

>Also, does anyone happen to know if your home state affects SSI at all or is it a purely federal program?
There are a handful of states that pay more on top of SSI for cost of living, but otherwise it's federal. However, location is very important, as it flavors the people who will be reviewing your case. The harder leftwing or deeper into the ghetto you are the better the shot, where as you'll have a much harder time of it someplace like Arkansas.

>my neet friend asked his mum for her credit card so he could order a daki

Do people here actually do this

>>9892384
That sounds great for me, I live in Seattle, WA which is home to a huge amount of bleeding heart yuppies. Where can I find more information about the CoL benefits that you describe?

>>9892384
Well, Hawaii's about as left and high cost of living as you can get, so I guess I'm okay in that aspect.

>>9892403
Google, your best bet is just reading the answers other people have given to those who asked the same question.

I know SOMEPLACE hidden away on the SSA site there is a list, but damned if I remember how to find it.

>>9892402
I've not bought a daki with it, but I buy my figures with my mothers card.

I still don't get how some of you are just living with your parents even after you've finished HS and have no job

I've literally never met someone irl who has parents that are this lax

It just boggles my mind that they are willing to give you money or provide for you in anyway
How the hell do they even see you as family or a human being for that matter

>>9892408
All right, is this it?
http://www.ssa.gov/cola/
It doesn't say anything about state programs, however.

>>9892423
This may be hard for you to understand, but some people are legitimately incapable of holding down a job.

>>9892403
Google, your best bet is just reading the answers other people have given to those who asked the same question.

Do keep in mind, the majority of people who claim these things are just people from r9k here to pretend.

I know SOMEPLACE hidden away on the SSA site there is a list, but damned if I remember how to find it.

>>9892429
No, that's something that happens every year.
Check your state's organizations that handle wellfare.

>>9892423
HEUHEUHEUHEU

>>9892430
>Do keep in mind, the majority of people who claim these things are just people from r9k here to pretend.
The majority who claim what things?

>>9892443
I'll be sure to thoroughly investigate this when it comes time to apply, thank you for the advice.

>>9892423
same here i never understood it. How are there parents willing to support them forever.

>>9892637
>>9892423
Some parents actually like their children and don't consider them accidents that they have to bear with for 18 years and then dump onto the street or as free slave labor to clean their house and make them extra money.

Others are just lazy and letting them sit around the house and buying food for them is less effort than teaching them any sort of life skills or motivation to do anything with themselves.

>>9892712
I'm 21 and still live with my parents however if i just stopped going to school and stayed at home all day it's understandable they would kick me out it's not the job of a parent to support their kid forever or support a kid who refuses to work.

I'm on some meds that kicked me out of my dull funk and now I can actually feel things.

For the longest time, I was alone, but I didn't give a fuck. I didn't feel the pain of loneliness. Now I do.

I'm working on the whole getting a girlfriend thing, and actually making steady progress, but in the mean time....

Any recommendations on a good hug or body pillow to relieve the emotional pain? I'm not talking those really expensive dakimakuras with the anime characters. Not that I object to the anime, but comfort gets higher priorities. Feel, not looks.

No, I don't need a fleshlight or tenga or anything like that. I need some sort of proxy for emotional closeness and touchy-feely. Not so much raunchy sex.

I know some of you have experience in this matter, so that's why I cross-posted from that other forever alone board, /r9k/.

>>9892767
Go to the Bed, Bath and Beyond, and buy a body pillow.

The end.

>>9892718
>it's not the job of a parent to support their kid
Look at this guy who's been brainwashed by his entitled parents. If you can't get work and your parents won't let you hang around, they are shit. What happens if you're 35, 40 and you lose your job/apartment and need somewhere to stay for a while? Your parents will apparently just go "tough luck, sad fuck" and leave you to die.

Like I said, some parents don't think about their children only in terms of what the child can do for them.

Those that do think that way probably don't consider that someone is going to have to take care of their jobless, senile asses one day. You rparents likely won't have a problem imposing on you when that day comes.

>>9892767
I recommend getting yourself an imouto.

I've been going to a therapist and psychiatrist for quite a while, but I'm unable to tell them or anymore much of anything for reasons I don't know since I was young. It feels all for naught that even if they do figure out what's wrong with me and I do before more "stabilized," I will always feel the same way. Recently, I have stopped my meds (namely anti-depressants and anti-psychotics - which could be a reason why I'm feeling utter shit), but I hated what they were doing. They were having a slightly noticable effect on me, but I did not want the change they were giving me. Even before and during them, I had a very different seeing/believing in something I wanted and ignored and eventually "snapped" from society.

I just feel that no matter what happens during my life (even the greatest extremes), this will only become worse.

>>9892780
You left off the qualifiers "forever" and "or who refuses to work." The rest of your post is pretty worthless, in this light.

>>9892791
Stop shitting up the board.

>>9892780
If your looking for a job that's one thing, if you just sit at home and fap to little cartoon girls that's something else. If i was looking for a job my parents won't do anything to me if I'm like you guys and just stay at home all day and fap i would get kicked out i assumed that was always the norm till i came on /jp/ a couple years ago.

>>9892797
*pees in ur thread*

>>9892797
He's just going to post them without his feel pictures (which were a vintage /jp/ import anyway) and you won't be able to tell them apart after that.

>>9892803
It's not normal. Your parents just hate you.

>>9892806
My feels were all made in /jp/.

How can I force myself to learn things when I have no motivation to actually do it or when I do I read/study for 2pages/2minutes and then give up (I can force read things but I don't learn anything. Going to slow is impossible because I end up wasting hours and I'm afraid of that, though it somehow happens here anyway)?

Are there any over the counter drugs I can try to get a rush of concentration? Any practice/techniques/tricks/tips I can try to concentrate better? I am already taking meds for anxiety/depression though it's not doing much except making me feel paranoid and listless sometimes.

>>9892807
I asked my friends what their parents would do if they just stayed in their room all day and never went to school or got a job and they said i would be kicked out... i don't know if this is just a /jp/ thing

>>9892403
I live down south near Tacoma. C-Can we live together?

Hey /jp/ what do you guys do on your birthday? Tomorrow is my birthday but after being a social outcast for a year, i dont even know what to do now.

>>9892841

>social outcast

you can start by ridding the world of your presence...

or

You can go out an have fun with your friends

Have you ever noticed how NEET threads are the only ones on /jp/ where almost all of the posts are bumps?

>>9892841
Go out to a club, and party with some bitches, yo.
.

>>9892845
A social outcast is already rid of presence. Not going outside is like not existing at all.

>>9892853
I wonder how low our sage ratio has gone since /q/ has taken over.

>>9892820
Well there's a surefire way to find out. Call their bluff. You're not a NEET type, so even if they are serious, you won't have a problem working your butt off to life in a shitty apartment eating ramen.

>>9892853
How do you know it's not just occasional bumps and mostly nokosages?

I have to go to the shop to get Diet Coke and there's a man there who always talks to me.

Help.

>>9893652
Go to a different shop, or just don't go

>>9892841
Fap at porn, but just not your ordinary porn.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdHPk9tlfkk
Fap at someone you will pay just to see her get fuck, link is related, i fap to her porn during my birthday. Shit is so cash.

>>9893672
I went to that shop because it had the Diet Coke in the fridge instead of just on a shelf, otherwise I would have went to the other shop. But I got there and there was no Diet Coke in the fridge! I actually had to *ask the man* if there was any, and he said, "Oh yeah, there's some on the shelf behind you."
So I got my warm Diet Coke, and then he took all this as an excuse to start talking to me. "Been at work?"
Fuck you. Fuck you, shop man. You know nothing about me. Stop talking to me. I just want my Diet Coke.

>>9893323
nokosage is still better since it stays in the email field.

>>9893813
Why the fuck are you drinking Diet? That shit will arguably kill you faster than regular Coke and tastes like nothing but chemical piss.

>>9893323
Nokosage is invisible too, and if it were bumped adn the next three were nokosages, you couldn't tell.

>>9894251
I like the taste. Regular Coke rots your teeth, whereas aspartame is completely fine (don't believe the chain emails about brain tumours or cancer, independent studies have found them to be completely bull).

>>9894262
You may have a point, but I don't think sugar is the only component of Coke that fucks up your teeth.

Regardless, I'd drink water before drinking diet soda, personally.

>>9894262
Why don't you try to get used to just drinking water? There's nothing more refreshing and it's good for your health.

>>9894281
Yeah man, eight glasses of water a day, right? Fluoride is good for me, yeah? Take your FUD myths elsewhere, shill.

The overall acidity of Diet Coke can be a problem, but nowhere near as much as sugar or syrup. Here's some related reading:

I've looked into this and as far as I can tell not having had a job doesn't really help you if you've actually got a listed disability. The big difference is you need to have paid taxes at one point if you want to get Medicare, which kinda sucks.

>>9894393

Medicaid is better than Medicare. I am on Medicare and have to pay for shit, people on Medicaid don't pay for anything.

Hello NEET-thread. I'm really starting to envy you guys who can live happily without having a job or any friends. I never wished for this life, I wanted to be a lot of things as a kid but never a NEET.

I had my first group therapy meeting today. It was okay I guess, could have been a lot worse. Afterwards I always feel like complete shit though, like I don't ever even want to be associated with the other people there. I have always done my very best to uphold a polished appearance, even when things have been at the very peak of absolute shit. But lately it feels like I've been slipping up, and that makes me feel sick.

I never wanted to just be normal this much. I don't want to be sick, I don't want to be depressed, I don't want to live on autismbucks. Lately I have also been thinking more and more often things like "I wish I was dead" and "nothing matters" and really feeling it. My mother also says that the antidepressants give me a terribly foul mood. But I don't know, I feel like I have been like this since before that. I'm just sad all the time, and I end up expressing it through anger I guess.

I have also grown to hate my brother which is kinda sad, since we used to get a long so well. It's just that he's become such an absolute douche since he got a girlfriend. All he does is crack unfunny jokes at other people's expense and he's always raising his voice for no reason. Whenever I hear his forced dry laugh I feel like strangling myself.

Really sorry for the tl;dr and blogging, I just needed to get this out of me

>>9894481
If you're desperately trying to be normal, than you should be here. Especially in NEET threads. Pic related. It's serious advice.

>>9894481
I've not been on antidepressants but I've heard a lot of bad things about medication in these threads. You should be careful because any drug affects people differently and is capable of doing more harm than good, and if treatment isn't making you feel any better you should bring it up with your psychiatrist or try finding a new one. If your mother is noticing negative effects then that's not a good sign.

To be perfectly honest, it almost sounds like you're giving up on recovering. To envy those who don't even try implies that you believe you're going to fail in the end. When my shrink thought I was depressed she frequently told me to ignore the lying voice in my head telling me I would fail, she frequently encouraged me and told me I could do great things if I really tried. I never understood it, because I didn't have such a voice, and I didn't care or want to do great things. Perhaps her advice applies to you though.

If you want to think about things a bit more optimistically, I think that for someone like myself it's maybe not a case of "happily" living without a job or friends, rather, I simply don't gain the supplemental happiness normal people do from having a social life or something to work toward, and have learned to live without it. My life is purposeless and directionless, and I don't see that changing in the future. If you have something you want then I think you have the potential to come out happier than I do, even if I'm content with less.

That said, I don't know a lick of psychology and I could have just written up three paragraphs of armchair nonsense. In that case maybe making a fool of myself on /jp/ will serve as adequate entertainment for my fellow NEETs.

>>9895240
>>9894481

>>9895240
Coming to peace with it is admirable. I wish my country had autismbux. Here, it's parents or streets. I really want to live alone but not to have to work.

>>9891819
Welfare programs birth NEETs.

If this was the 19th century and you all weren't born in the upper class, you'd be homeless, drunks, or dead.

NEETs are just people refusing to grow up and fight for their place in the world. They wish to be sheltered babies forever.

The resolution of Welcome to the NHK was very realistic. Just let them starve and either nature will sort it out or they will get a real job.

But even if you lack a higher education, the good thing is that trade skills these days are VERY valuable since almost every dumbass is off to get a useless liberal arts degree since they get indoctrinated that college, no matter how useless, is all the rage these days and we have a lack of skilled workers. Go into plumbing or mechanics and you'll seriously roll in the dough. That job isn't going anywhere and you'll get an actually useful skill.

>>9895677
>very realistic

I always thought it was naive. Typical normalfag thinking.

More realistically speaking you can expect a hikikomori to kill himself, and generally speaking if the prospect of being poor was sufficient to convince everyone to work, there wouldn't be hobos. Obviously it ain't so.

>>9895677
>NEETs are just people refusing to grow up and fight for their place in the world. They wish to be sheltered babies forever.

Yes, and?

>>9895677
Sounds like a lot of trouble.

>>9895689
>you can expect a hikikomori to kill himself
Then let him do it. There's a 99.99% chance he's too much of a pussy to do it. That's just how human beings are. Even the guy in Welcome to the NHK seriously waited it out to the last possible moments. Guess what, survival instincts kick in, and you'll seriously stop that couch potato mentality and be renewed with vigor.
If there's a slow-moving bear coming at you and you're too lazy to run, who else in the world is to blame?

> there wouldn't be hobos
You seem to forget a lack of proper IDs, being an illegal immigrant, not having a place to stay, not being able to afford education... and various other factors that would prevent them from getting a job these days. In fact, many people go to the city looking for work but end up becoming hobos because of such things. They will pummel you in the face if you tell them about how privileged and yet jobless you are.

How do you deal with paranoia?

>>9895719
Don't deal. Feel.

>>9895719
Just accept that we know your real world identity and move on. What's the worst that we can do? Send your family a comprehensive list of all the Web pages you've visited within the past six months?

>>9895646

If this were the 19th century we could get free land, build a little shack on it and it would be about the same as it is now.

>>9895719
I actually have this nagging sense that someone is watching me most of the time. It's not so bad when I'm busy with something, but sometimes it creeps in there and I can't stop thinking about it. I know there's no reason anyone would want to watch me, but I can't shake the feeling.

>>9895724
Why do you assume that it means online paranoia? And it's an incorrect assumption as well.

>>9895646
I'd have been forced into a workhouse and I might be earning over 5 shillings a week by now, faggot.

>>9895677
Welcome to the NHK had one of the dumbest "morals" I've seen since That Was Then, This Is Now. Someone suffering from crippling social anxiety is not going to suddenly become a well-adjusted hard-working citizen when they get hungry, no matter how badly you want to be an edgy darwinist.

>>9895716
>The guy in Welcome to the NHK?

You mean the adolescent kid who was there because he stole some money from his parents and got scammed? Or do you mean Satou, who never went there to kill himself in the first place?

inb4 Jani

He's on a fucking rampage.

>>9895858
Surprisingly, that was done better in the manga (and absent in the novel).

I think someone would overcome social anxiety to survive, though. There are plenty of stories of people doing crazy things once their survival instinct kicks in. Id over ego and all that.

>>9895858
The MMO guy? That's the bit you took fault with? Obviously it was just a quick way to resolve that plot thread with a slightly happy ending rather than drag it on like the manga did, but it's not so unbelievable. In fact people do pretty crazy things just because their routine is fucked up. Someone once lost my favourite pen, so I walked 12 miles to the supermarket that sold them just to get a new one. And I hadn't left the house in over a year at that point.

>>9895925
>Someone once lost my favourite pen, so I walked 12 miles to the supermarket that sold them just to get a new one. And I hadn't left the house in over a year at that point.

That sounds like the result of a mental disorder. Are you okay?

>>9895893
Yeah, they're called "stories" for a reason. For every time you hear about a mother lifting a car to save her children there's thousand more who die without doing anything spectacular whatsoever.

What MMOs are you guys currently playing?

>>9895930
Well, it's fiction. A story where everything works out in the most mundane or realistic way wouldn't be a very good story at all.

>>9895934
Yes, I got my pen.

>>9895935
TF2

>>9895925
Why didnt he just go back home though? I thought that was quite stupid, and the sister/mom i forget, didn't call the police or anything to report the loss. It just seems contrived, that was a big complaint I had. Other than that I though NHK was quite good.

I know from experience that just some random person coming into your life can EXTREMELY motivate you into wanting to do stuff, but then it also makes you go into a major depression and you get dependent as fuck.

>>9895925
Yes because going on a lengthy walk is the same thing as just suddenly getting a job to feed yourself in a market with no jobs when you have zero social and practical skills.

Brilliant argument anon. Your anecdote has shown me the light.

>>9895955
Why didn't they just fly the Eagles to Mordor?

>>9895955
The act of leaving the safety of one's house is the key issue, especially after such a long time of isolation. Go fuck yourself normal.

>>9895936
Shut-ins suddenly becoming hard-working citizens "because survival instincts" is not in any way realistic. They're far more likely to eat something from a dumpster and die from poisoning or become criminals.

>>9895955
What's the deal with Satou? I mean, how unlikely was it that he'd meet Misaki? She just *happened* to live where she could see him, and she just *happened* to go to his house? What the fuck, people don't meet in real life.

>>9895962
No it's not. Leaving the house does not make one suddenly capable of participating in society. That's like saying you can work at McDonald's if you have the courage to take the bus to see your therapist every 2 weeks.

Tried to get into competitive video games because that's basically all I do all day. Still couldn't be good at that one thing I've been doing my entire life even after put hundreds of hours into practice.

>>9895970
My guess is the author couldn't think of a way to get Satou out of the house.

>>9895961
Didn't he work in a food place? If you were starving, and you lived close to a McDonald's, where would you go? And again, people get desperate. I sometimes shouted at people when I had panic attacks. I once thought I was going to die so I phoned a hospital. Being hungry and walking into a food place and demanding food at any cost isn't so bad.
I interpret the rest of it as him realizing society isn't so bad after all, and he gets used to it. He wasn't a truNEET like us, if you want to put it that way. Plenty of people in the real world have "recovered" from being hikikomori. It was a little quick, but it wasn't clear how much time had passed, and you need to account for aristic license. They aren't going to have a 15 minute montage of him being awkward, getting food, and then gradually learning to talk to people.

>>9895978
What video game(s) did you try?

>>9895961
This was my experience, only after I'd been homeless and dumpster diving, and only at the urging of a fellow bum did I start to look for work. I took it all very serious for a week after that too, but ultimately I did not look very hard or follow up the necessary steps to actually apply for employment.

Even living outside and starving most days I still had the same habits and routine, get on the internet in any way possible, and put off tiresome tasks for as long as possible.

>>9895986

Embarrassingly enough TF2. I just put in hours of practice time in bot-maps where I shoot moving targets. My aim is still shit vs real players after 260 hours of work.

>>9895971
It does, if you're physically capable of performing those tasks and there's no alternate (at least in your mind). You can speak English, you can (or can be trained to) flip burgers. I don't give a shit how much of a truhikki you are, go a month without food. Eventually you will leave your room. This is also why Satou had to go shopping. He didn't want to, he probably wasn't good at it, but he went late at night to pick up food. Maybe you're some new breed of super-hikki if this all seems like wacky fantasy logic to you, in which case, great, but your arguments are far less realistic than someone forcing themselves to work in order to survive. People have done far more extreme things.

>>9895991
Hey neat, you're like me. When I was homeless, I did nothing for the first few weeks. I had some money and I was capable of shopping, but I was still terrible at talking to people and I avoided things as much as I could. Eventually I ran out of food and someone told me I should go to a hospital. They said I would be fed and given a warm bed. For about a week I didn't, but then I got really sick and panicked, so I marched into hospital and demanded to see a doctor. I got sandwiches and somewhere to sleep for a week, then they referred me to a homeless shelter service. Eventually, I moved in with my brother. I cannot believe I walked into a hospital and talked to people, that does not feel like something I would do. But I did do it.

>>9895993
Nothing embarassing about TF2. I wouldn't advise practising on bots though. Have you tried DMing or MGEmod? Against players and you'll probably get your ass kicked at first but both are much faster and easier way to get better that way.

What classes are you maining?

>>9896030

I main scout.

The bots are very difficult to hit if you've ever played tr_aim_training. I do admit that in MGE scouts tear me a new one but I have no idea how to track such erratic movements.

>>9896023
I didn't go to a hospital or anything. I managed to last through the winter before I finally broke down and called a distant relative whom I'd never met before. She was like 100 and completely crazy but I had a warm place to sleep and plenty of food until my dad got back on his feet and rented an apartment for us to share again.

>>9895985
>he wasn't a truNEET
That's essentially what it boils down to. Most NEETs aren't just awkward or shy, they have serious issues that they can't just set aside when it benefits them to do so.

>>9895999
Oh yeah, I hear about desperate survival situations in the middle of civilized society all the time. My brother was actually in a reality show about it once.

>>9896037
To learn Scout I just watched http://youtu.be/svCmXhYxMGc then MGE'd every day. If you've already seen it then just ignore me but I found it pretty helpful. And try turning off your viewmodels (if you haven't already).

>>9896085

I'd play MGE but I get way too nervous. I wish there was a way to just practice on bots or something.

>>9896093
I can understand. I gave up with trying to go comp since I can't talk on mic anyway.

Can you still collect autismbux if you leave the state/country?

>>9896732
Where do you think autismbucks come from, autist?

>>9896732
If you mean on holiday, then yes I think you get up to six months worth. If you mean can you still siphon welfare while permanently moving elsewhere, then no.

I don't believe anything changes from one state to the next, other than being more likely to have your case reviewed by the local department.

Earlier tonight my cousin came over so I could fix up his computer because the video lagged when he played 1920x1080 videos from his camera. I did the usual, clearing out unused programs, stopping startup programs, and ran a malware check. His heatsink was full of dust in the fins so I figured I'd clean that out as wll. I was out of air, so I took him with to the store to buy some. When I got up to the register, the man asked for my ID, and then told me that next time I bought canned air I should "leave the kid at home".

I laughed, thinking it was a joke, but he was not smiling. I asked if he was serious, and he said yes. I asked what the problem was and he said people used the stuff to get high, and that he could refuse sale to me because I was becoming, in his words, "obstinate". I explained why I was buying it that the person with me was my cousin, and also that he didn't need to tell me this kind of stuff, but he seemed mad, asking me how he would have known if that was my cousin, or whether or not I was lying. He put the cash in my hand a bit forcefully and told me to have a nice day in a bit of a rude tone, and I was on my way until I noticed the straw on the can had disappeared.

I pointed this out to him, and so I had to go back and get a new one. I went back and got one, went back to show him, he asked if I had my receipt and I asked if he needed to say it. He told me no. I don't know why he asked if I had a receipt for something I literally just bought.

I told him, "Hey, no hard feelings man," and walked away. I could hear him say to the next customers, "Can you believe that?"

I don't think very fast in these kinds of situations. I should have asked if he threatened to refuse sale of spraypaint or similar to families who had a child with them. I don't want to call and complain about a forty or fifty year-old man who is probably down on his luck, working at Wal-Mart, but it annoys me.

What a rude man.

>>9896967
In situations like that demand you speak to their supervisor. It speeds things up, gets him chewed out, and sometimes gets you a discount.

>>9896967
Now this just burns my poffins. If you're of legal age to purchase a can of air it's none of his damn business what you plan to do with it, and it's you're right to bring whoever the hell you want to fucking WALMART with you.

Granted they're not like someone you illegally busted out of jail or some weird cartoon shit like that, but yeah. His attitude and him telling you to "leave the kid at home" was wrong.

>>9896967
The real world sucks.

>>9896967
This is the kind of time you lodge a complaint with the manager, throw out some heavy words like "harassment" and "offended", if you're a minority this is where you can play the race card and possibly get the guy fired.

>>9896967

I went to the mall with my mom once and was leaving a game store and got asked to see my ID because kids under 18 aren't allowed in the place after 6pm or something.

It felt kind of weird to be a 22 year old man being asked for something like that.

>>9897185
I don't want anything bad to happen to the guy because of what happened, which is why I don't be doing anything. Like I said, he might just be down on his luck or having a bad day or something.

Just felt like posting about what happened.

>>9894481
>"nothing matters"
But this is correct, nothing in this world has any intrinsic value. You have found the truth, you now have the keys to our existence: life is what you make it. Try living purely for yourself for a few weeks, just do what you want. If you have the urge to sing at the top of your lungs on the bus, do it. If you have the urge to go jogging in the woods in the middle of the night, do it. The world is your toy, go play with it; the world is your tool, go manipulate it.

I hate going to store because you have to stand in line and I can feel the people behind me staring at me and if I over laughter from somewhere in the store I think it's directed towards me.

>>9897210
I like to imagine most NEETs like myself: underweight and with a younger appearance than their actual age.

>>9897226
You seem really nice, though. If I weren't socially cripple I'd even like to know you in real life.

>>9897239
I hate that, too. I don't like people standing behind me.

>>9897257
I'm just a tad under a normal weight, and people have always thought I'm older than I really am. I don't like it.

Alright I have to get this off my chest. So today I was driving down the highway and a fucking 18 wheeler cut me off, just totally in his own world not paying attention to other people on the road. At this point I figured my day wasn't going to get any worse then I came upon a toll booth, go figure eh a toll booth out on some road I usually never take - its a little longer than my usual route, but I was going for a drive. I pull up and the first thing the attendant tells me is "exact change only," are you fucking kidding me? Who has exact change for a toll booth, so I try giving the guy 5 bucks as thats my smallest bill. Of course he doesn't take it, repeating exact change only. Anyways I solved the ordeal by just handing the guy 50 bucks and driving on. Like hell I'll ever be taken this road again, fucking that guy should have punched him in the face and gotten it over with.

>>9897322
> I solved the ordeal by just handing the guy 50 bucks
just think about how much you must have brightened up his day.

>>9897239
>>9897263
Me too, one way to stop people from doing things behind you is to stand sideways and act absolutely engrossed in the soap opera magazines or gum, while keeping an eye on both the people in front and behind you with your peripheral vision.

>>9897327
I do this in a fit of social anxiety, mixing that up with a bit of pretending to use my phone, ,ore of a nervous habit than pretending but yeah.

>>9897322
How much was the fare?

>>9897239
>and if I over laughter from somewhere in the store I think it's directed towards me.
Whenever that happens I just pick a fight with whoever laughed at me. They normally just apologize, and if they don't, it gives me a chance to outlet my pent up aggression.

I was looking for a car all day, I was hit by an 18 wheeler on Sept 9, the guy ran a red light and plowed into my car. Lucky i didn't die, I guess, but my car is gone forever.

It's strange, I never really felt I had a connection with my old '96 Camry until i couldn't drive it anymore. the thought of it sitting in a junkyard keeps me awake at night.
i've been to countless places looking at different cars but can't find a car that's as good as mine was. Also, I'm convinced that all Honda's are all shit

>>9897334
I once spent over 40 minutes reading over the back of one of those instant cake kits becuase the isle I was in became over crowded and an anxiety attack crept in. If my legs hadn't gone out I would have run for door as though I were on fire.

>>9897316
I don't particularly like being underweight, or looking younger than I am, either, but I find I get less shit from people because I look delicate or something. And my parents want to shelter me forever.

Well they did until they figured out I wasn't just shy and very possibly socially retarded. Forcing me to get a job is their way of "improving" my life.

>>9897351
Shitting in their shoes ought to be your way of "improving" their mornings.

>>9897351
Use spoilers properly.

>>9897351
How do you know whether or not you get less shit because you look delicate? Have you compared it to when you weren't delicate? Sounds like fucking BS right there, or some major cognitive bias.

>>9897371
Good point. Maybe I'm just good at blending in and not getting into trouble, or maybe I'm surrounded by genuinely nice people. I don't think I've ever met e really bad person, but then again I never stick around long enough to get in really bad situations.

I'm aware. It just occurred to me that some of this might actually not be tongue-in-cheek satire.

>>9900997
Do your own fucking research you stupid piece of shit:
wikipedia, bluelight, erowid

>>9900997
Don't do it. If you want easy drugs, go get some cough syrup with DXM (make sure that Dextromethorphan is the only active ingredient, acitaminophen will kill you, and guaifenisen will make you puke) and a bottle of off brand benadryll. (diphenhydramine) You can get DXM cheap from chemical suppliers, and you can get 1000x 50mg DPH for $17 on amazon. Read up about dosage on erowid. Be careful, DPH has been linked to increased risk of alzheimers, and it can be absolutely terrifying if taken by itself. If you take DPH with DXM (at appropriate doses) expect pleasant hallucinations such as warping and translucent spiders everywhere.

>>9900986
Yes go to the emergency room, walk up to reception, there might be a line, and tell the lady at the desk.

The world might be a piece of shit, but it hasn't got so bad that they'll laugh at you for going to the wrong window over something like that.

And yes, your mother will be informed. Though if you're clever enough you can tell them someone else is your next of kin.

>>9901109
Not so, sadly, they just don't do it to your face yet. When they put me under nitric at the dentist, the dentist and his assistant would laugh at people they could see though the window in the parking lot (apparently thinking that I wouldn't remember or hear or something). At one point, they laughed at a woman who was having trouble parking and called her a stupid bitch.

>>9900493
From ona threads I've generally heard the Wave is probably what you're looking for. I haven't heard a thing about the Dots though.

>>9901137
I assumed this went without saying.
Them laying in your face is something you have to deal with, them laughing later can be safely ignored.

I wish there was a radio thread up so I could complain about the guy with the Youmu icon requesting 50 shitty arranges at the same time.

I'm seeing a new psychiatrist tomorrow and I'll have to try to convince him that I'm crazy/depressed so I can keep getting the bux. I don't want to have it be where I get bux for a year then they reevaluate me and determine that I'm not disabled anymore. That would suck.

>>9901508
Try to get minimal sleep tonight, and pound back some caffeine tomorrow to look even more on edge.

>>9901508
How do you even convince a trained psychiatrist that you are in need of bux?

>>9901518

Matters of the mind are very sketchy and hard to pin down. A bit of reading up on a condition and some subtlety can work fine.

>>9901513
Why would depressed people look on edge? If anything he should look tired.

>>9901518
Go to the appointment really sleepy(but not drugged of course), think of all the bad things in the world and appear like a weak, depressed sack of shit that just can't function in the working society. You may have to go through some humiliation, but in the end it's worth it.

>>9901564
Would I be right in assuming that what works in the US will also work in the UK?

>>9901575
The UK is an old hand at this game, so for one they pay more attention to those trying to get on the dole, but the bigger issue is pity. The english tend to have a more apathetic view to the whole thing, while many of the american interviewers can be swayed to feel very bad for you.

But what do I know, I went full Rain man for mine.

I feel like /jp/ is not truNEET enough for me lately. I always read stories about NEETs doing all sorts of neat things with their time everywhere. Everything from learning Japanese to exploring different facets of reality on drugs. I feel like you are all accomplished people. I don't do anything but refresh /jp/ 16 hours a day and listen to music. And it has been this way for at least a year.

I also have a few afterthoughts. Maybe people like me just don't post. That could be a possibility. I also realized that I feel upset because I don't have anybody to feel superior to. I don't like having that trait. I want people to be happy and co-exist peacefully with each other, but I guess I still have those selfish tendencies that automatically activate after all those years of modern societal programming.

>>9901575
Well, I only know that my advice works in Germany, so you have to find that out yourself or do some more research.

Will I be certified insane (enough for SSI) if I tell a psychiatrist that I'm a pedo?

>>9901600
I should add that I am also extremely jealous of everyone that is sustained by nice parents and government money. I feel like I was unlucky to be born in an unlucky situation where I can't receive money from anybody and am about to be kicked out soon.

>>9901604
Very bad idea!

>>9901600
I don't think we're that rare, it's just that talking ab out how you haven't done anything all day doesn't make for very interesting posts.

>>9901596
>>9901602
Ah, I see. I wonder if the fact that I live with my two jobless parents would hold any weight in being given autismbux.

It's getting light outside anyway so I must get to sleep. Thank you for the advice.

>>9901604
No, but you can get visited by the police, and if they can charge you with anything at all, no matter how minor, you can get a few years of state-paid vacation.

>>9901620
In the US it does.
Though I don't know to what extent or whether it's positively or negatively.

>>9901600

truNEETs aren't depressed because they love their lives.

The traits you described sound like depression.

>>9901620
How does your family get by?

>>9901649
I was implying that it's on a more advanced level.

NEET

truNEET

[depressed?]

I think being depressed shares a lot of traits with being a hikikomori.

>>9901508

By being the real deal. Being in your late 20's, not having any friends for 10 years, never had a girlfriend, never had a job, didn't graduate high school, failed out of college twice, living off your parents but they yell and threaten to make you homeless, social anxiety since mid teens, spending all your disposable income on cigarettes, persecutory delusions, paranoia, cynicism... it all adds up.

But I've gotten better after taking a good dose of SSRI's and antipsychotics and re-enrolling in college under a different major. I no longer think people are talking about me or that they can read my thoughts. I've grown more comfortable being around and in groups of people. I just don't give a shit about anything besides my grades at this point. I even aced my first exam. But the major factor in curing my depression has been getting on the bux actually. Nothing like getting some compensation in spite of the utterly terrible entry-level job market around here.

>>9901660
In /jp/ popular culture hikikomori fell out of common usage, and was replaced by truNEET. This term later came to have connotations of your situation being a willful and conscious decision.

So if we go ahead and say truNEETs chose their fate, and otherwise would be out living as world leaders, military planners, literary ground breakers, and CEOs.
Then a hikikomori was forced into theirs and as such would want nothing more than to break out of it.

In this line of thinking a hikki would have serious grounds to be depressed. But to say they're both the same is silly. Plenty of depressed people are not hikkis, while plenty of people who stay in are not depressed.

>>9901685
It seems like you assume that depression in NEET life stems from wanting to get out of it.

>>9901692
No, I specifically made an example of it though.

>>9901685
This is so silly. So "truNEETs" are just lazy normals?

>>9901698
Oh. I thought you were passively trying to attack me or something.

>>9901701
Going by how it's used now, yes.
Though most of those who would classify themselves as such would go on to talk about it as though it was some high philosophical point, or religious movement.

My guess is this grew from the generally negative view of people who shared the mundane details of their lives on the board which eventually lead to a sense of superiority over people who live mundane lives.

>>9901701
I've always thought truNEET as someone who enjoys being NEET and does so by choice, compared to those who are not NEET by choice and dislike being NEET.

>>9901766
Does anyone actually like living and mooching off their parents for decades.

Hey /jp/, do people even care if you get diagnosed with a mental illness/personality disorder? I can't shake the feeling people won't care even if I do get diagnosed, they'll just think I'm making excuses not to work.

>>9901866
if you have what it takes to get diagnosed you get bux so parents letting you mooch doesn't matter.

>>9901866
It depends, most parents will fall into two camps though, either the I expected as much all along camp, or the you'd go this far to avoid taking responsibility for your own lazy ass? camp.

Though some will be genuinely concerned about your well being. I'd say if you're parents have dealt with it for more than a few years, they'll most likely fall into the first camp.

>>9901858
I do.

>>9901931
You haven't been doing it for decades.

>>9901954
I doubt very many here have. I've been NEET for seven years. My parents could kick me out any time they'd like, but they don't. They actually give me far more than I need, and I'm fine with that.

>>9901917
NATURE CAAAAAAAAAAMP whee

sieg heil! mein volksgeNEETen!

/jp/ i feel so tired i can die!

too much school

>>9902367
Why are you posting in a NEET thread if you're in education?

>>9902369
That meanie wants to bully us.

>>9902369
I have alot in common with you guys

>>9902375
no!

I am an angel w

>>9902379
I personally don't care as everyone posting in these threads seems to be from other boards mainly, but part of the acronym NEET is "not in education."

>>9902392
I am an outcast then

if i become a NEET I will suicide because I will be stuck in otaku hell.... FOREVER


sigh it sucks not having a place to belong to

why would you suicide from being NEET if you don't have parents that can support you there is always bucks

I visited my mother who gave me home made meat pockets, ham pie and also some sort of pork stew. She is awesome.

>>9902402
I will never be able to go to Japan

>>9902406
shes trying 2 fatten you up to eat ur cutie booty

>>9902406
Can I visit your mommy too and stay overnight?

>>9902419
You have to sleep next to me because she only has one extra bed.

>>9902423
No problem, I'll just sleep in the same bed as your mother.

>>9890084

My neighbor was criticizing my shut-in lifestyle.never had a sibling do that, since they don't visit often. many times when someone i know recognizes me, they'll often say "Get a girlfriend, start living life, etc." And sadly i have to repeat myself over and over again with "But i am living life, it's not my fault that you aren't happy with it, and that you want to try and change at the expense of making it better." I don't get why people are so damn selfish.

>>9901637
Isn't there supposed to be a confidentiality agreement or something? How can you be expected to talk about, and hopefully fix, your problems when they'll tell the police?

>>9901652
I wouldn't know, I don't talk to them. I suspect they have some money saved up somewhere.

Not much longer and I can finally live alone and find peace. I can finally start living to the fullest without getting disturbed. Yeah, not much longer...

Had an appointment with the psych. Got diagnosed with schizotypal disorder and general anxiety disorder. Might end up keeping the bux for more than a year. I only recently started getting it. Living the dream~

We're having a nice tea party skype call

Talking not required.

>>9906007
im scared

>>9901109
Will this cost me anything? I have medical insurance through my mother, if that helps.

If I think I might actually have a specific personality disorder should I just go to the therapist and tell them so? Or is it better to just tell them how I feel and let them come to a conclusion on their own?
