Almost seven years now I believe.

I feel like something is missing though. I'm happy enough and I have no regrets, but my days are becoming increasingly stagnant and I feel like there's something I want to do but I don't know what it is. I can't think of anything I would rather be doing, but I'm not particularly interested in the things that I could be doing either like playing a VN or watching anime.

I wish I could look into my subconscious and find what I really want. Part of me wonders if I've essentially beaten the game of life and there's not much else to do but try to keep myself somewhat entertained until I die, but another part of me wonders if maybe I've suppressed what I really want in life deep inside of my mind and I won't allow myself to know what it is because of fears or inhibitions that I don't realize that I have.

Programming something which can functionally replace me.

I have no real identity to speak of, so as long as I exist functionally, I exist as far as I'm concerned. Other people might not see it that way, but then I don't care about the perceptions of other people.

The prospect of living forever without my knowing it is appealing. I'm not sure what I'll do if I succeed with replacing myself before my passing, though. Immediately, I can only assume that I would either kill myself or adopt a lifestyle so different that my replacement becomes deprecated, defeating years of work.

>Be happy and die without my own intervention.
>Live forever and kill myself.
These are the options which currently apparent to me where my life in general is concerned.

I have the aspiration to learn something and be great but then suddenly I don't want to try anymore when I start. For no good reason either. Like the only thing I'd do besides something productive is sit here until I have to eat or sleep.

Try picking up something that doesn't take much effort to pick up, like writing or drawing and just do it to pass your time at least until you get over those fears and are comfortable enough to move on to something more

A month between Uni and a job I had in HS.

Then, a month between coming home from Uni for the summer and getting another job.

Now I have a job and I go to shitty school. I wish I could laze around and do nothing too, but I'm too far in debt not to quit. I should go to Sallie Mae's headquarters when I'm finished with school and kill myself in their lobby in a very messy way.

Your ratio of task completion rate to task production rate is balanced in favor of task completion.

The ideal is a perfect balance between the two, but in your current state you accomplish your goals before you develop new ones, which leads to periods of depression and stagnation. Now, here's where this post becomes mostly conjecture: My best guess as to why this is the case is that you fear being unable to accomplish your goals/"dreams", so you set the bar low and - what a surprise, you accomplish them. Look at how happy you are.

In its simplest form, your problem is really just a matter of self-confidence. You don't believe that you'll be able to do anything that you can't immediately see yourself finishing. You can see yourself completing some series, VN, or maybe video game, but being able to see your finishing of those things makes your satisfaction from them transient. You should force yourself to challenge something that you don't already know how to succeed at, and your succeeding at this thing will serve as a proof of concept that you do not need to know how to win in order to do so.

Not to turn this into a drug thread, but this is pretty much one of the purposes of psychedelics in traditional shamanism. At the time they thought they were communicating with spirit guides or with nature or something along those lines, but what was happening is that psychedelics put you into an altered state of mind where you are more in touch with your subconscious than you normally are.

People who get unpleasant trips for example have a lot of repression or psychological issues that they need to sort through and these bad trips is the way that your subconscious mind illustrates and communicates the problems to you. Almost like a way of purging it from you. In a very real way psychedelics allow you to go one on one with your own mind and confront all of the problems lurking inside of there. The problems are now given a form and they're right there and assaulting you, so you can no longer bury them away and you have no choice but to confront them.

Almost 2 years, still NEET... until the 12th of September, gonna miss not doing anything productive, being a NEET was the best time I had in my life, but I still have /jp/, I can come back, right?
It also taught me a lot from the behavior of the people on internet, I learnt a lot from the Doujin Culture, Touhou and I could read a lot of VNs and SNs.
Some people would say "You wasted almost 2 years of life", but I say "I've learned a lot of things that nobody would teach in a classroom" or "I've got a lot of personal experience that would help me in the future"
Why I'm going to stop being a NEET? Because I can't have autismbucks, even if I try to fake it I can't, I would feel really guilty. So I'm going to study something to have a job, my figurines, games, and consoles or even a new PC aren't going to be paid with nothing.

I actually understand completely how you feel.

I think if you could let go of that -- of kicking yourself for not doing enough during the day -- then maybe you'll feel enough energised and good about yourself, that you actually can do things. It seems I only feel bad about things, because I have somehow internalised the whole didn't-complete-a-single-thing-today => get-punished-and-feel-bad connection as something normal and expected.

You need to stop punishing yourself, Anon.

2 1/2 years now thanks to anxiety.
My older siblings are finally sick of me living at home with my mom. I'm just see as the lazy little sister who mooches off her mommy. We have no income now that my dad went to jail.
Sucks, man.

About 1 year.
I don't know what to do really, but I'd hate to stay like this forever.

I've recently realized I am depressed and that I probably have been for a very long time. If I could get over that I think I could move on, but it would be hard. I don't really have any confidence, and at the same time I can't remember ever having any. I think this is the main reason of my depression, I have simply stopped thinking abut the future as I can't see myself going anywhere.

But at least I have my autism bucks and my parents loving, even if they can be pushy too.

I don't have a (good) camera but I can tell you about my room.
I don't have a desk as such, it's a large board from a wardrobe (plastic MDF board if my woodworking days serve me correctly)
The legs are 14 computers from a failed computer selling stint. I tell myself that I will get around to selling them but never actually plan and put it into action.
A card table behind it is where the monitor and speakers sit.

A lone trombone sits on the dressing table, gathering dust. I do play it though. Learnt to play at high school and have kept it up since, improvising on my own or to music. Sometimes I write songs. Hobbies are great when taking it easy.

There is a container on the fakedesk, full of things such as screws and drugs and some homemade insecticide which looks like marijuana but isn't.

There's plenty of other uninteresting stuff, and a large collection of my sister's wedding presents ( she can't fit them in her house).

I hope you all have a nice day, whatever that means these days to you.
On that note, what would be a perfect day for you, anon?

Was expecting "sister's clothing"
You dissappoint me.
