Living alone is pretty nice if you can afford it. The main reason for living alone is for less stress. If you get more stress from trying to make money to keep up with all your bills, you'll end up killing yourself mentally if not physically.

I can understand your point of view but I think that my opinion is also valid.
A healthy society has to consist of a variety of different lifestyles.
And understanding NEET as a lifestyle means to respect a NEETs determination to walk his own path (even if it's only from in front of his comp to the fridge and back).
I also think that we can agree that we are talking about long term NEETs here, not the ones who lost their jobs and are currently unemployed or similar.

>> No.4192207

Actually it consists of people with an interest in VNs etc and seemingly people ilkee yourself who see the board as simply for NEETs only, and fail to realise that the reason it seems that way is that either 1. Stating you have any kind of social life whatsoever will cause upstanding posters like yourself to freak out and derail the thread (like you're doing now) so people don't do it or 2. You just feel no need to announce completely unrelated aspects of your life, again unlike people who go around announcing their NEETness.

I was a NEET for four years but now have a weekend job and am taking a course online. Over the course of five years, I now sleep an average of fourteen hours a day but it's not unusual for me to be awake for only two hours a day for something to eat. Very recently I've changed my single duvet for a king sized duvet and I don't regret it whatsoever.

I spend the majority of my time on the computer, in bed. At first I moved my desk next to my bed so that the side was next to my pillow area and I had a wireless keyboard and mouse. I had the desktop on the desk and the tower on the floor and I'd use the keyboard and mouse on the bedsheets but lately I've been needing to use the mouse on whatever large book I might have hanging around.

I purchased a laptop so now the majority of my time on the computer, I'm on my laptop. The laptop is great. I often fall asleep while at the laptop, and I can use the laptop while lying down on my side.

I think the most important tip to have, though, if planning to spend the majority of your time in bed, is to buy large 2l bottles of soda instead of the small 750ml ones. The 2l bottles of soda will eventually stink of your bad breath when you're drinking straight from them, but when you're done with them and need the bathroom you can urinate into them without worrying about whether it's going to fill up too quickly. If you use the 750ml bottles, you will often find that it's filling up far too quickly and will need to find a different solution.

Occasionally, when not washing at all often, you will find that you get an unclean sensation about you and eventually when it gets too much to bear, you can get wet wipes. This way you don't have to get up and the wet wipes usually solve this horrid sensation for me.

Also, when not washing too often, you may find your underwear will eventually stick to you uncomfortably. I don't really know what to say about this other than take a wash. Wet wipes don't solve this for me but initially it took half a year to reach to this point and now I can go a year.

Greetings. Kindly stop spamming, harassing and generally attacking www. anon

. com, please. We don't want you there. We never did. Understood? PS: If you want these messages to stop, simply stop fucking with us, remove all lying troll articles about AT and kill the illegal clones. Then you will never be bothered again. Every single time we see the slightest attack or spam on our site (which can be reasonably expected to origin here or any related "chan"), you will get 2151 more of these messages as a result. It's really up to you. This is a promise that WILL be kept up indefinitely if need be. Seriously.

Yours sincerely, an anonymous AnT and general well-doer of the Internet as a whole.
