If I could drive I might have a chance to do something. But I can't.

My only family is my mother, and she is old and sickly and can't drive. My sister lives nearby but she refuses to teach me. I don't have a vehicle so I can't just go practice on my own, or go to a city where there are classes. Have no way of getting one to play around with, either. There wasn't a driver's ed course at my school when I was in high school.

There's no public transport here because I'm in a small town. I can't do a damn thing about where I live, though, because I have no vehicle and not a single person wants to help me.

Chasing after happiness is like chasing after a mirage though. The closer you get to it the further away it seems to be. You can't pursue happiness because it's already inside of you. People think that they're pursuing happiness by chasing after various goals or ambitions, but true happiness is a state of mind where you still feel completely happy even when you have nothing at all.

I'm taking the NYPD exam in a month at 20yrs old, wish me luck /jp/. If all goes well I'll be making $45k in a year, $75k/yr in 5 years, and peak at $100-150k/yr depending on rank. All without including overtime. Then in 20 years when I'm 45 or so, I can retire with half my salary of the last 3yrs for life as a pension ($50-70k). I'll go to the south and life off my pension as a middle aged NEET who don't need no job.

I live in America so I can't get autismbux, and I don't have rich parents I can leech off of like most of /jp/. I can socialize well enough to get a job, so I guess I don't have much of a excuse.

>why would someone be unable to stop being shy?

The best way to stop being shy is to just stop caring about other people and what they think of you.

I actually got to this point through being a shut-in. I used to have severe panic attack inducing social anxiety, but after about six years of being a shut-in I just stopped caring about other people.

Through constant isolation your mind eventually adapts and feels satisfied with being alone. When you're at this point then you no longer care about other people's opinions because the only person you care about anymore is yourself.

For example, just the other day I went out to get the mail and then I sat down and enjoyed looking at nature for a bit. During this entire time I was shirtless, wearing nothing but my small pair of boxers, and there were plenty of neighbors around looking at me. I didn't care at all.

I'm a freeter who lives in someone else's basement and is trying to get on autismbux.

I've been a NEET before and do enjoy a lot of things about it, but part of me wants to have significantly more money than what autismbux could give me. This isn't out of materialistic greed (all I want is to live in a quiet place where there are no spiders), but rather out of the paranoid fear that something bad could happen to me and only a large amount of money could help me get out of it. Money is essential to have for emergencies.

I don't mind working but the part-time work is already burning me out. And I really am disabled; I can't get a full-time job for shit, and probably couldn't keep one. I'd make more money on autismbux than what I'm making delivering newspapers everyday beginning at 1:30 AM. I just need to take it easy.

I'm not as lucky as you think. Being a newspaper carrier is a miserable job, especially during the winter when it is really cold and the roads are icy and shit. Your car can break down, too, and if that happens, then you won't have a job anymore. Not to mention that you get no days off and you're sleep deprived all the time. I even had to work the night my mother died.

Most people don't make it past one or two months; then they quit. I've been doing it for eight months and there are only about two other people who have been doing it for longer. There are about 15-25 carriers total.

I used to be a paperboy when I was in high-school.

And now I so wish they'd employ me again, despite the pay, snow and angry, misinformed tenants. I know I can do it perfectly, but here I sit. Yesterday I stayed up all night so I could speak with my local paperman about work, but I chickened out and just stared at him from the shadows.

There are some things about the job that are pleasant. You rarely interact with people when you do your route (although it is very awkward when you do) and it is pretty neat to see what places are like at night on a regular basis. It has given me a lot of appreciation for being a night owl. You can also listen to the radio, if you find a good station.

All in all, not a bad job for an asocial freeter, provided that he's willing to mold his life around it and bust his ass for only about 600 dollars (not including work expenses).

this is not true. that was my point. i know this because it doesn't apply to me. i'm sure it doesn't apply to many people here. the new generation of NEET is a first world cultural phenomenon. to still think someone had to grow up with a fucked up childhood to end up in this position is retarded. over-privileged, spoiled kids are growing up pampered and learning nothing about responsibility or how to take care of themselves. things like video games and anime are occupying their interests and these things are pulling them away from being social and venturing outside with peers for entertainment. the combination of these two factors results in people growing up helpless loners who are entirely dependent on their parents. and that's what i am. i'm not proud of it, but that's the way it is.

Many people live in a modified version of the Hikki system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Hikki which is widely experienced today is often called NEET, and many shut-ins are not aware that it is basically Hikki.

I have started up an old remote job and my other job is caring for my disabled brother. So I'm not really NEET but get treated like it because I live with my mom(I pay rent).

i never got pushed into this herd mentality, where my thoughts mirror everyone else's in a group. most humans are like herd animals, they follow a 'leader' and do and act as he wants, afraid of being excluded.

it's a leftover trait from when we were monkeys and lived on trees, gathering fruit, and being excluded from a herd meant death.

i didn't. because of that, when i got older, i avoided peer pressure. the thing where you take up unhealthy, expensive shit you don't want to do like smoking, drugs or drinking to impress a bunch of dweebs so that they'd accept you as a part of their herd.

i didn't do that, i was already all 'fuck off, i've got better shit to do' mode. i got to enjoy doing what i liked, instead of doing what others wanted to see me do, if it mirrored their interests.
