I tried to do some work once, but I started vomiting all over myself in the parking lot and then I cried and begged my mom to take me home.

I never even got to the interview. I just don't think my body is capable of employment. Do you think I can get on disability with this? Maybe it's a type of sickness.

I legitimately want to work, but every time I try to look for a job I always fuck it up. About a month ago I applied for my first job at a video game store, but instead of giving my application+resume to the manager I gave it to the cashier guy because he said the manager was not in. Then I went to apply to a Sandwich shop with a friend, he did most of the talking to the guy in charge and shook his hand, but instead of myself shaking his head I awkwardly stared at him for a moment and walked out of the store because I wasn't sure if should shake his hand or not despite not saying a word directly to him.

I'm beginning to think I'm too incompetent to ever get a job.

Work is awful because work requires some type of interaction with people. There is no job in the world that doesn't because some human has to be paying you and in the vast majority of jobs you will have coworkers which are even worse.

Humans are bad. Conflict and unpleasantness are things which only exist because of human interaction. You can't get into an argument with someone if there's no other people, no one can hurt or rob you if you're the only person, etc. In the work place you have to deal with all of the petty shit that humans love to fight over and it's absolute hell.

The only work I will do is work that goes directly to continuing my survival. If I lived out in the forest for example then that kind of work, just hunting, farming, and things like that, would be perfect and I would have no complaints.

If I have to deal with people though? No way. Not going to do it.

Shaking hands is my nightmare. I never know if I should initiate it, or how much pressure I should be applying, or how long I should hold their hand while I'm doing it. Once or twice I've had to shake a woman's hand and I had no idea what to do. It's fucking scary.

[Anonymous No.]

I was not entirely lost to the horror of work. I exist now in the extended twilight of carefree youth: university education.
If I can keep good grades I can go on to a Masters and then PhD program, although the benefit of that is questionable at best considering the work involved. I still try to convince myself it's better than real 'work', and that is my only other option.

I would love to live on a little farm with a cow or two, a friendly dog, some chickens, and lots of vegetables. The chickens could give me eggs, the dog could be my friend, the cows could give me milk, and the vegetables could give me food.

I would need water so some kind of stream that I can drink from or a well. The trees would give me shelter once I made a house and after that point I wouldn't really need anything.

How do I instantly kill myself with minimal preparation? I think if I do the helium method I might be too anxious to stay in the bag and chicken out. Likewise if I try hanging I might spend too much time thinking while the noose is around my neck before I jump.

I want to get a gun but I can't. Please help.

I remember from somewhere that firmly grasping another persons hand whilst commencing the shaking session shows that you are confident. It also helps if you do that actual shaking motion just as firmly and dont let the other person take dominance over they motion either.

My thought for the day (or 'how I rationalised my behaviour today'):

I was walking down a street near where I live. You can see a good mix of people on this street, among them tradesmen and young people (university students, hospitality workers, etc.).
A group of construction workers walked past me, and I got to thinking that my existence and the existence of this archetype of young people is subsidised by these workers.
It is those people who perform tangible work and keep society afloat. I wondered what they must think of a 21 year old guy walking around in casual clothes at 2pm on a Tuesday.

Then I thought about the fact that all of us were kept afloat by manufacturing workers in China.
I didn't feel so bad then because I figured that these people supporting the society that supports me are getting some modicum of a free ride too.

I am in education. A Chemistry major at that.

It is really horrible, but better than the alternative of employment. NEET isn't possible for me unless I went homeless. I doubt my degree with even be worth anything upon leaving, and I'll likely find it almost impossible to even be employed in McDonalds, if not impossible to even get volunteer work.

Nothing left for me but bearing with it, to live for the valuable hours when I am free. This is life, huh?

Not at the moment. Unless you consider video games, anime and a diet of almost 100% carbohydrate and fat to be illicit substances.

It's difficult to get hold of something that actually helps: alcohol is really shit; marijuana requires social contacts and doesn't seem that effective, from what I've tried; Ether helps, but it's risky to get ahold of, and starts giving headaches after a while; self-harm elevates way too fast.

I just try not to think about things any more.

I was always usually in education, just finished, but being in CS, a lot of courses you could do mostly online and only need to show up for certain things like tests.

After two years of basically not needing to leave my house for days at a time, I'm not sure I can even work outside. I need to find some way to work online but I'm not sure how to set it up so that they actually pay me. If only I had music and modelling/spriting skills, I could open up a kickstarter game project.

I personally envy people with motivation, or dreams.
I never had them myself, I always wondered how would it feel,
to have motivation to achieve my dreams and to have dreams to motivate myself, I envy people who have those.

Right now, I've been unemployed for a good few years, doing various odd jobs whenever I can to scrape up some money, but still, I wish I had a job, a purpose in life, something to drain my motivation to, something to drive for, to achieve something, I envy people with those too, even more so, hate people who don't deserve any of those.

A life in jail, in here is better than my current one, at least in there your housing is free, the food is free, the food is better and you can educate yourself in there, been pondering for a few years if I should start killing people in random patterns and eventually getting caught and hauled to jail, a life in jail doesn't sound too bad.

A good friend actually did teach me the proper way to shake hands. You want the crease between your thumb and index finger almost touching the crease on the other person's hand. Then, you close your fingers around their palm, not their fingers. There's a complicated reading of the symbolism of this particular handshake, but I think it's mostly bullshit. You apply as much pressure as you would to your dick when you fap or to your breasts when you fondle them. But don't fondle the other person's hand, that's not appropriate.

If you don't manage to position your hand as prescribed here, don't panic, don't worry, just go with it and exert the same amount of force as indicated above.

Shake twice - this is the average I've noticed.

Do look at your hand while reaching for your partner's, but after that try to maintain eye contact. If that's too hard for you, concentrate on some other feature of their face that's close to their eyes, like the bridge of their nose, their forehead or their left ear, or just look at their eyes but don't focus much.

Most of all - take it easy.

Interestingly, from threads on /a/, it seems that most privates in the USA's army are otaku material. Because once you're just another private, nobody gives a shit, except other privates and you'll never see an aggressive social-ladder climber enlist in the army, nor would a regular nerd-bullying jock get very far - they don't want soldiers with attitude, they want soldiers who can stare death right in the face and go "hey, that reminds me of that scene in F/SN", but then you come back with PTSD because your best friend died in battle and you cry each night to sleep.
