I used to, but I had good reason to. I was failing college and went from living in a house with a bunch of fresh-off-the-boat Chinese guys to living by myself in a tiny hotel room, and all my college buddies had graduated and moved away. I thought multiple times about stepping into traffic.

This is why I stay out of everyone's way. Unfortunately that is apparently wrong, and then people get concerned that I don't have daily conversations with them. Then I do get irritated and whiny and wish they would just fuck off and leave me alone. I never understand why they do not.

Depends. Here in the UK you go to your GP, mention you've been feeling down or whatever, then you can get referred to psychiatrist. As far as I'm aware it's quite rare anyone over 17 sees a psychiatrist regularly. As a teenager I used to see a child psychiatrist once a week. When I became an adult they cancelled my sessions and now I see a "social worker" once a month instead, and she just tells me to get a job or go to school every session.

I've been on meds on anxiety for a while now (six months), but thats not really my point (it relates a bit however as least in my mind (as mixed up as it maybe)).
Having had regular employment, I've noticed that most (if not all) 'normal' people repeat the same things over and over again, just to different people. this might not seem strange to some, buy to me saying something (even its to a different person) seem like a wasted effort and as such I come off as unfriendly, distant, and 'creepy' (I've been called this to my face). Recently (Read: over the past week) a person I'm around (caused by my job) told several people the same story (I was there for 'ALL' the retellings). So, tonight I heard the same story five times in a span of four hours. I was ready to commit murder at the third retelling, but I noticed something (that to me seemed strange) everyone she told the story to seemed genuinely interested and even had a conversation and related similar experiences or expressed sympathy for the situation. Is this how normals work? How cant they keep repeating the same thing and not feel like its a waste of time?

I'm in the same situation as most of you guys (or maybe even a bit worse) and I love my life. I wake up, drink some tea while browsing /jp/, maybe cook some food, and then go to sleep. Then I wake up and do it again. Occasionally I'll go for a drive somewhere or to a store to buy myself a treat. I love to go for drives to the outskirts of town on full moons. You eventually run into farmland and it's such a nice atmosphere.

Once my only real life friend moved away all I could do was feel overjoyed that I would finally be able to be alone. I really enjoy being alone and left to do whatever I want to do. I don't know who wouldn't. I don't know how anyone could get depressed living their life like this.

Maybe I have some kind of chemical imbalance or a brain tumor or some kind of mental disorder.

You're indirectly exploiting these kids by paying the low prices that you do for food and other shit and you add salt to the wound because you're not even working to consume any of the products they make. They're essentially working for some jackass they don't know for free since you're not contributing anything back.

Not this bullshit again.
a) I can't do anything about it. If I could, I would. No, buying products with a "Free Trade" label does not make that much of a difference. Even if we used hard working Americans/Europeans for everything, then the slave children would starve. Think workhouses in 1800s England. You be poor and die, or be slightly less poor and live horribly. Which is the lesser of two evils is up to you to decide.
b) I don't care. I am a human being and I consider myself a kind person, but I honestly could not care what's happening to people I will never meet on the opposite side of the world. I get that closing your eyes to a problem is bad, but I'm not doing that. I'm accepting that I cannot help these people and choosing not to care about them. It's far better than faking empathy or being "charitable" for PR.
c) My unemployment means one more job is available. Since I am unqualified, that means a low-paying job. Some poor, unskilled person is employed because I am not. Of course this is a simplification, but overall that's what's happening. There will always be unemployed people no matter how small or large a society. I am filling that gap. Furthermore I am giving up luxuries to fill that gap and being content with my situation. I may not be helping starving kids, but I'm sure as hell helping someone.

Oh, how deluded you are.

If you don't work you don't eat. That's how everyone else who doesn't live in your entitled fantasy land lives. You don't "deserve" to live, but you do anyways because our economic system exploits workers and allows this shit to happen. Sure, you can tell yourself you can't do anything about it, but you happily partake in this system of exploitation and therefore support it. In a world where everyone is treated fairly you would be dead.

Trying to rationalize that it's everyone else's fault that you get away with it doesn't put you on some moral high ground. If you actually gave a shit you would realize that you're a leech on society's ass and get a job or get the training to fill an open job position that wouldn't replace somebody else.

I'm saying nothing of the sort. I accept that I am the dregs of society. I even accept that I'm a leech, though not to the extent that people make NEETs out to be.
Even if I'm absolutely despicable and people are in poverty because of me, I would not care. Not in an angsty teen or self-entitled way, I would simply be apathetic about it. I have found a way to live a life I enjoy. I have given up both luxuries and obligation and settled for a 30-90 year existence that doesn't bother anyone. Though I'm still part of the system--I consume and I pay taxes, frankly in quite a disproportionate amount to the worth of the lifestyle I lead.

It's wonderful to hear people say things like this. Everyone wants to believe that everyone is equal, but the world simply does not support all life equally. For that reason, people must establish a system to choose who will live and who will die. Presently, that system is Capitalism. The rich live in abundance, the poor either work in shitty conditions or starve to death.

And I fully understand that this belief of mine condemns myself as someone who doesn't deserve to be alive. I accept that as the truth.

Capitalism isn't the problem. Horrible economic efficiency that doesn't put everyone to work is the problem. If you don't have a job you shouldn't be getting paid because it leads to waste.

The only thing you should EVER get paid for is training to get a job if you can't get one with your current training. If you get fired or laid off you either find a new job, get training in another needed job, live off your savings until a new job opens up, or be proactive and become self-employed and create jobs for others in your position.

If the world took advantage of the internet and created a single site with every job listing, training programs for those who want to fill the positions, and what jobs are currently in demand for new businesses to start up we wouldn't have these problems and wouldn't have to rely on exploitative labor.

I'm sure it would still occur because different countries have different technology and economic systems, but it would certainly make things go smoother for those who do follow capitalism.

I'm arguing because you're putting words into my mouth.
I consider myself to opt into the NEET lifestyle. Whether jobs are available or not, I'm not taking them. This is because I am happy to be a NEET. I don't see myself as a "a leech who lives off the backs of exploited workers" and whether that's the case is inconsequential to me.

You also need to understand how low my self-worth is. I could not do anything to stop our evil capitalist overlords any more than I could help child slaves. Yes I, a relatively healthy young male, could conceivably perform physical work if it was available. However given my options and situation in the real world, I couldn't. I cannot talk to people without freaking out. It's not just being a whiny little bitch or whatever, I do have panic attacks and they would physically impair my ability to work. Though, I am happy to accept that this is because of the society I was born into. I often wonder what life would be like if I was born into a different society or time period, if I was forced to work instead of seeing a psychiatrist. Sometimes I even wish that, say, the Nazis had won, because then--had I still been born--I would undoubtedly be a hard-working breadwinner. I may have even been happy and have a family by now.
But, unfortunately for you, I was born into Western society in the 20th century and this is just how it is. I think I deserve to live because of my low "economic footprint" on the world ("But if everyone thought that way...") and I am living the life I want. That's just how it is.
