Yes, pretty much all I do in my spare time is draw and jack off to touhou.
That being said, I wish I were NEET so I'd have more spare time.

[Anonymous No.]

Discipline yourself into doing something that will bring long term fulfillment if you have the time. Otherwise work on getting the time.

To be fair, I just said what works for me. If you think this is the best you can do, then go ! I initially thought this was the best for me too, but I was suffering from spending most of my day doing something I dislike, receiving pressure from colleagues.

[Anonymous No.]

>>34288491
I fee like that's what most people are subjected to for survival though. And I don't hate it fully, it can be fun sometimes. But I'm still curious, how did you escape?

[Anonymous No.]

>>34287774
Not for the past six years. I keep hoping things will go back to normal but they only get worse.

[Anonymous No.]

Yeah. I just need to finish school, get a real job and get married. This weekend at church I'm going to try talking to this lady who is a Sunday school teacher. My mom hinted a few times that our parents want us to start dating. Saying that she is close to my age and has a similar personality.

Their parents like me and get along with my mom which is a big advantage. The fact that she looks after little children is a very good sign that she wants to be a mommy. I think I can do this.

The sooner you realize that life is a downwards slope, the better.
Stand idle and that's where it'll head

You can move upwards if you constantly fight for it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>34287774
nope, I hate myself and my life

[Anonymous No.]

>>34288690
I implied that with the last line.

[Anonymous No.]

>>34288775
>life is a downwards slope
But this implies that you can only move back up to where you started. Unless you assume it's coming down from somewhere above you but usually people would say upwards in that case. "Uphill battle" is the cliche phrase people use.

I was really unhappy and thought "I don't want to do this my whole life" so I searched for my passion, found an opportunity and took it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>34288955
I have a passion but it's not something that'll pay my bills nor am I sure I'd want it to. So I'm working towards a tolerable career that'll support me pursuing my passion in my off time. Kinda like having two jobs but one is purely out of love. I hope I stay happy like this.

I fill my life with materialism to cope with not being able to raise a family and live in my own home like my parents did.

[Anonymous No.]

>>34289308
I had a colleague who was really happy with that, and thought it was the only way to be happy in life. Best of luck anon ! And keep in mind, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. If shit falls down, it'll be just another experience.

[Anonymous No.]

>>34289557
Raising a family isn't the only way to obtain such fulfillment, you can raise yourself to accomplish incredible things. And there's an off-chance that'll attract somebody to start a family with, but it'll be a neutral event cause you'd be happy just with the power you've given yourself.

[Anonymous No.]

>>34289577
I had an experience that reminded me of that last lesson recently. Thanks for reinforcing it.
The way I look at it this is the best I can get, for now. The only immediate and viable alternatives are harder jobs that pay 1/3 or less of what I am aiming to make.
I'm way into art, if I'm ever good enough to profit off of it I will. But most people don't make a living off of that and need an unrelated day job.

Also remember that you can always change your life, no matter how old you are ! And that goes for everyone

>you can always change your life
I don't know, anon, I tried to do that and just ended up failing.

[Anonymous No.]

>>34290676
Then you didn't try harder, and if that's the case, you're probably not motivated enough because you don't need it that much. At least that's how I feel. But you can always quit your job and study more and get a new one. Rare are the people who do the same job their whole life !

[Anonymous No.]

i got it better than most of the gentlemen here, yeah

[Anonymous No.]

I have no motivation to play games, watch shows, read books, or anything that requires a modicum of an attention span. Maybe it's ADHD or something.
Been drawing for a year or two but I'm just not cut out for it.

Yes. Some of you nerds sometimes don't know how good you have it and I realized that along time ago. Taking in consideration everything bad and good, I'm in a pretty cozy moment right now.

Nothing is fun anymore except a few things which aren't enough to occupy my time, work sucks, plus I have no friends, so no.

[Anonymous No.]

I’m objectively doing pretty good but I want more.

I want my own house. I want a harem of beautiful loyal womenslaves. I want respect and admiration for single handedly changing the world for the better. I want to rid the world of the many, many injustices that plague it. I want to be a Renaissance man with unparalleled knowledge, and immense skill in every artistic field. I want to be the chosen one. And I want more 1ccs, too.

God, why is life so unfair.

My circumstances are quite wonderful. I am satisfied with that aspect of life.

My own discipline is not. I am not satisfied by my (lack of) accomplishment. There are things I want to do! There are negative habits I must break. I am not satisfied with my self.

[Anonymous No.]

I guess? Objectively speaking, it's not bad, but I don't feel happy, unhappy, or content with it. I'm not really sure what I feel. I often worry about the things I love slowly being take away, one by one, though.
