I was living my best neet life for 10+ years (no money to buy anything but whatever) and then got too complacent and boohoo sad and wished for a change and an identity besides neet. Fate then punched me in the balls and now i have a "caregiver for a vegetable grandpa" identity, every day is hell and I'm not even able to sleep more than 30 mins at a time.

Nobody should live like that. If a country isn't able to shoulder the medical needs of a vegetable without leaving their relatives alone dealing with it without considering economical and psychological distress coming from it, then they should just let him die instead of this fake pretense of high morality.

How do I keep the neetlife going for as long as possible?
I have approx 30k EUR in the bank, only have to pay for electricity water gas and internet.
I don't want to work, ever.
I estimate that I can last about 15-20 years with my savings and welfare which I'll get in a few years. Thing is, I'm sure I'll end up buying some expensive shit for giggles and lower that number to like 10 years. Getting a gf would also be a problem.

I did nothing for 5 years but started getting bored so I registered at university just to have something to do. The irony is that it gives me access to student welfare that is €400+/month and student apartments that cost only €260/months with everything included. Time spent on DJT told me how to use anki which unironically makes studying quite easy even if it has never been my thing. Being a NEET might be the hidden step I needed to be an educated person.

American anons, I've been wondering... how the FUCK do you survive off just welfare? SSI is like, $900 max, and having any sort of income besides that will axe it further.
Maybe okay if you're at your parents' house, nothing if you want to live on your own.

[Anonymous No.]

>>36529369
You don't.
If you have a crippling disease or got injured, your best bet is to live off of govt. gibs. The only downside is that you'll have to be on meds and they'll test you to make sure you're actually using them. So no "show up for your meds and flush them down the drain and live off of the set amount of money the state gives you"
Either that or you can go homeless and live in allocated housing where the government pays for everything essential to living at the cost of some freedoms.
There's a bunch of stuff you can look into, none of which is optimal for being a NEET.

[Anonymous No.]

>>36529880
Back to the injured part, it's a hit or miss. They'll give you painkillers but that's about it.
If you have some sort of disease that inhibits you, you can probably just file for disability. Mental things won't work since they'll probably give you a job that even you can do in your deficiencies.

[Anonymous No.]

>>36529922
mental things work, it depends on your history like how long you've had depression or whatever it is and be in treatment for, how often you were hospitalized, how severe you were to be hosptialized to begin with etc
if it's your first time being diagnosed you will probably have to sit through the system for a while to build up doctor notes

When I was a university student I had to live with a total of 470€ per month in a toilet sized room in a dorm, rent was 240€ per month. After dropping out and turning officially NEET, I started getting more and more and now my welfare is about 900€ after moving to a two-room apartment, rent is about 500€ per month.

To me its ironic how students are expected to either find work, take a loan, or live like monks while NEETs can live like kings as long as they barely participate in the mandatory activities (filling forms in time, answering phone calls, going to a meetings 2-4 times a year, etc).

I met a guy who has a student apartment in another building for the same price and it's like 12m2 so he has no space to move and no kitchen. His whole neighborhood is registered at unesco though, so I wonder if they even have the right to do that much modification to the building.
My neighborhood is nothing unesco tier but for 260€ I have 18m2 and it's nicely arranged so I have some space, a nice little kitchen with an induction hob and a balcony. Optical fiber is also included in the rent. The only things I have to pay besides my rent is food, which is only 1€ for a complete meal at uni refectories so that's 56€ a month and transport (13€ per month).

Riddle me this. At what point does one stop being classified as NEET, and start being classified as self-employed?

I believe that self employment with practically no effort put into it/something you would do even if you weren't making money off of it doesn't really fit the concept of "employment".

I don't think it's romanticized per se, considering half of this board is probably suicidal or depressed especially in these threads. But like all things it has pros and cons, being a NEET does afford you extra creativity and time to pursue interests that would otherwise be too difficult to do under employment.

Speaking of cons, I never thought the day'd come but I actually feel really lonely lately. Like physical, actually-hurts chest pain lonely. Maybe it's just because I'm getting older and some survival instinct is kicking in.

How do you NEETs deal with complete solitude for months or even years at a time? I'm by no means a social person but I'm sure I'd go insane being alone for so long.

relevant 4chan/alternative boards, (SUBTLE) shilling in the boards/chats of similar sites
a lot of people in my circle advise to advertise on reddit because it has a large audience, i've never done it, but whether that is worth it or not is up to you
obviously it helps a lot if you do something better than the big sites and their hundreds of mirrors. offer better organization, put up obscure stuff that isn't available anywhere else, allow user uploads and don't do dnp
>When you started out, what were the costs of the servers?
not much at all, look around serverhunter.

[Anonymous No.]

Don’t use 4chan as your only socialization source. The lack of stringent moderation on here means it’s easy for bad actors and false flagging to happen. If your only form of socialization is in a place with no incentive for self moderation and has a reputation for being toxic then you’re going to get a super warped perspective of reality.
If you’re interested in some kind of hobby it’d be more meaningful to find a forum or even a discord group to join and lurk in. If you play online games with guilds/etc you could also try guild hopping to see if you can find a group you mesh well with.

Same anon here. It's been 9+ years since I've had any offline friendship or actual connection with someone. It just never really bothered me, I enjoy solitude since I don't have to cater to anyone and can do things at my own pace.

You really have to be a certain kind of person to be able to enjoy that kind of isolation, I think. Some people need human interaction conversely, it's just like how some people are fine being a NEET but others need the rigidity and orderly lifestyle of having a job and can't handle having nothing to do.

Though now that I'm getting into my late 20s I kind of regret not having some kind of intimacy with someone. The internet back in the late 2000s-early 2010s was a lot different than it is today, it's difficult to feel the same sense of camaraderie with people even online anymore.

I just... do? It's natural for me. Interacting with anyone but family is extremely painful for me, and I avoid it until absolutely necessary.
Maybe my mental illnesses are slightly more aggravated, but I'm not literally insane or anything. I don't buy into the idea that humans are social by nature.

There's a reason I'm here. Literally everywhere else is full of normalfags who spout nonsense and will shame you for being "weird" based on things you can't really help, or is quite literally built to manipulate you in a way that makes you feel far worse than any imageboard ever could.
I don't know what "bad actors" or "false-flagging" is supposed to mean in this case, but I just use selective, "good" boards with heavy filters for the things I don't care to see, and I'm good.

I can agree with this to an extent, when I went months without talking to anyone living by myself I did start talking to myself a little too often. I think it'd only start really becoming a problem after a few years though.

>>36573621
I despise trying to hang out with people. It always feels like I'm altering myself to blend in better, you're forced to not be too critical of anyone, obey the established hierarchy, and participate in group activities. I much prefer living on the outside, other people tend to be disappointing.

Making small talk with my family is more than enough social interaction for me. It's still a fake interaction, but it feels far less annoying to do it live vs over the internet in text.

While I am no longer a NEET for a few years now, I hope my intrusion will be pardoned.

One thing that very rarely seems talked about is that leaving NEETdom isn't the end. It's barely the beginning. Having and holding a job is an art form in and of itself. I'm pretty convinced now that whoever says living life normally is easy has never lived normally a day in their life. There's definitely an air of "I don't belong here" but the most important thing to remember is that no one cares. You're just another face in the crowd.

What I miss most about being NEET?
How a day is what I want it to be.
All the clothes I need : underwear, undershirts, a few sets of pajamas and slippers.
Having the ability to find inner peace in calligraphy, dancing, doll making, table manners.
Losing myself in a random book.
Spending time in the public library.
Going to student films for free.
Going to free classes about whatever.

A wage does definitely not buy you happiness, just enough copium until your next wage. When I get off work the first thing I do is sleep. Then I wake up, eat dinner, use the internet a bit then sleep again. Perhaps ironically, the happiest I've been is when I lived one year at a monastery and I had nothing but a small radio, books, a stove to cook and heat on and linden I collected off the ground to make tea with. Everyone was very supportive and patient with me.

It's really easier to talk to people here than IRL or most other places on the modern Interet thanks to anonymity, the fact that this board focuses on a relatively small number of subjects and that there's not so many people here compared to some other boards. People there probably have very different lives, but having common interests and experiences is a powerful thing for understanding others. It's a strange feeling being in a place with a lot of people you could probably get along with and knowing at the same time that you'll never be able to meet them. It's like they're illusions that only last until you go back to the real world.

Interestingly, those facts can sometimes apply IRL too. In the very rare cases I somehow end up talking with someone outside, I always find it a lot easier if it's someone I've never met before. Generaly it's just very short conversations about nothing in particular and I'll never see them again after that so what I say doesn't really mater, but just for a moment it's nice to have that "anonymity" allowing to talk almost freely as we know nothing about eachother.

I'm (un)fortunately not a NEET, but my brother is.
He's not retarded, but somewhat slow and very socially paranoid. The thing is we're financially stable enough for him to live off parental+my income, which I'm totally okay with. My folks though keep telling him to find a job to gain "life experience" and get out of the house, even from something as soul crushing as grocery work.

On another note, I think you may be romanticizing living on holy grounds a bit too much. It's definitely not for everyone.

As a hardcore nerd there's no point to talking IRL people. Anime and manga beyond mainstream shit? Seiyuu web radios? All I do is sit in front of my computer 24/7 while normalfags are working and building their families, so isn't a single common topic to talk about unless I dig back to elementary school days.
Every time I try working somewhere people treat me like some super serious person or an actual autist because I never laugh or smile naturally while in reality I'm just holding back because I know that if I tried talking about things I'm actually interested in they would get confused and like a freak (for a good reason).

On anonymous imageboards I can talk trash and make jokes and even if nobody gives a fuck, I don't have to feel bad about it. If I tried the same thing with real people, every failure would be a huge embarrassment that I would remember for the rest of my life.

26, NEET since I turned 20 (although the college arc that came before ironically had less learning than my NEET days). I'm a third worlder so I don't know if I can get to my 30s, I guess we'll see. Got used to eating just one big meal every day, which saved me a bit for emergencies.

Current concerns: long-term friendships are starting to die thanks to lack of IRL conversations, I feel like everyone moved on with their work/families while I'm the only stuck with my delusions, and they only use me for "nostalgia" reasons... what scares me the most is that I don't really care if I'm left alone in the end. Feels like years since we had any real bonding.

Whatever you do, don't wind up falling for them. Online relationships pretty much never really work out. Mostly since most girls on the internet are completely nuts, the only reasonable ones you'll find are those that never actually tell anybody they're girls and even then it's a big maybe.

I met a girl on a really old forum years ago who I got along really well with. We winded up getting closer and started playing games and stuff together daily for maybe six months or so. One day she coyishly asked if I loved her and that was pretty much it. It was great while it lasted - she'd tell me she loved me every morning, and we could spend an entire day talking about pretty much anything and everything. This went on for around a year. We even talked about starting a family together at one point, it was probably the closest I ever came to ending my lifelong NEETdom. It was a nice feeling.

One day she just snapped out of the blue though, like a switch. Suddenly I was unfaithful and all of her other guy friends were better at everything than I was. She said all sorts of horrible things about me over the following weeks with the lowest point saying she was going to kill herself over me. It honestly really fucked me up; I've not felt the same since. Worst part is I'm still racked with guilt over it and think about her practically daily. Despite everything I really loved that woman. I was too naively innocent back then I think.

It's one of those things you see happen to other people all the time but not something you expect to actually happen to you. Don't end up like me anon.

I had fun with her back then, then college happened and I don't even want to get into how she broke it off.
My next online gig I actually traveled and met this woman a few times but I was too much of a fuck up to keep up with things, she left for good reasons. I feel like that one shouldn't have even happened honestly it would've saved a lot of time and frustration.
Currently talking to at least one chick online but she's significantly younger so I can talk to her without the pressure of thinking "she's the one". Gaps only work in Gensokyo, so I'm just a friend.
My online bf though, I feel like I'm falling for the same trap again.

Sounds like at least one of them was maybe more than a friend, and had something you didn't like enough money to actually travel to see her or something, so you became a nuisance to her as she now had someone better. I'm sincerely sorry anon, this shit happens both online and IRL, it's the kind of experience in one's life where you learn to not trust people ever again.

I had a couple of those online relationships but they never got very far and just faded away over time. They were enough for me however to learn just how easily girls can "switch target". Unlike boys, girls often have multiple males graviting around them and they will choose the most interesting one among them. You'd think that after choosing someone they'll stick with their choice but no. They don't fear ending even long relationships as they know they'll have zero difficulty finding someone else anyway. So as soon as someone better shows up ("better" as in "someone who can bring them advantages like money or fame"), they just ditch you, preferably by telling you just how much of a horrible person you are compared to the others. It's fucked up.

all we were supposed to have learned in HS, the subjects that matter most for me are maths and natural sciences though.

[Anonymous No.]

I was fucking retarded in high school, feared everything. Struggled with math which pulled me down. To be honest I can't even remember it well it's all a blur. I was so stupid though. Either way it's what guaranteed my NEEThood. I dropped school thinking I'd be really good in advertising and marketing. I go into this private school thinking I'll get the best. I fuck over so bad, barely passing alot of subjects while others glided over it. I made no friends or talked to anyone other than the teacher I failed multiple courses for stupid decisions I made. Ended up having to pay additional 1000 for each that I failed. One of these courses I failed twice and now awaiting third and final chance. Currently doing national service so studies on hold. But now I forgot alot of what I learnt and when I go back I'm going to get fucked over and fail so badly.
