So /jp/, a regular from /tg/ here. I've been reading some of your threads and I gotta you guys are more interesting for now.

So tell me about.....being a NEET.

[Anonymous No.]

>tell me about being a NEET
Why didn't you just say so?

That feel when I was invited to a party today by my personal Obi-Wan at work. It's on saturday.
I'm 21 years old and have never to a party. I've only gone out twice in my entire life and that was just with one friend.
I'm freaking out due to the fact I know I have to go because the people who are there also work at the same place I do and will be insulted. I am astronomically fucked.

On the non-shitposting side of the spectrum, I'm trying to decide which tea to order from yuuki-cha. I keep checking for a tea thread on /jp/, but I haven't seen one in forever. I'm familiar with sencha and will likely go with that just so I can start regularly drinking tea again, but I want to eventually branch out into the other types.

I also need to practice my STGs and do my reps(although it's been years since I've done Kana, so I'll most likely have to relearn those as well), but haven't due to the fact that I can't get jack shit done without a planned schedule.

As pathetic as this sounds, is there some kind of /jp/ approved planner that I can start using?

That feel when I guess I'm in training now. The government put me on this program to get me back into work. 16 hours a week just showing up at this shitty store to qualify to receive the same shitty monthly sum that I couldn't survive on anyway.

Yesterday I worked 6 hours. Had to get up at 07:00 to make it in time, and I wasn't home before 16:00, at which point I was tired and let the rest of the day slip away without doing anything rewarding, and also had to go to bed early for the next day.

What I wonder is, how the hell do normals live with this? I already find it intolerable, and I'm far away from working full time. Instead of 5-6 hours a day, I should be working 8, and instead of 3 days a week, I should be working 5. That's just ridiculous. That just leaves a few hours a day plus the weekend to spend your precious little lifetime on something you actually WANT to do.

I'm scared, /jp/. I can just barely get by for now by just taking on one day at a time, but if I try looking ahead at what this path has in store for me, it's soul-crushingly depressing.

That feel when I think my medicine made me go crazy or bipolar.

During the day I get so happy that I begin to behave in peculiar ways. I emerged from my room a few days ago and did a poor attempt at copying one of the dances from Saturday Night Fever while I listened to disco music in my headphones and I didn't even care that there were a bunch of people in the living room that saw me. Normally I don't even leave my bedroom if I'm not home alone, but I needed to dance so much that I didn't care.

In the evenings though I become crazy and paranoid. Random inanimate objects in my room can terrify me so I have to hide them in the closet and I become convinced that the world is ending and I panic.

Dude, stop. Just stop.
NEET means nothing more than unemployed.

But how do the unemployed eat, and live without money?
They typically use the welfare system to provide them with food, housing and clothing. To make the most of the situation, some here claim they have autism.

You don't have the money to leave your house. You have enough money for internet, food, and that's it.
If you were brave enough to go outside you'd probably look for a job, because being horrendously poor is pretty horrible. Unless you're lucky enough to get get disability benefits and can actually afford more than ramen every day.

That's alright, non-NEETs on /jp/ probably outnumber them 5:1. Perhaps back in the day /jp/ had a bunch - perhaps even a majority - of NEETs/hikis but not anymore since those people either left or offed themselves.

Here you dip into 'what is the point of living'.
What is the point of living?
It doesn't have to be the same for everyone. If you consider that these "human beings" don't mind a bit of pretending to be retarded so long as it allows them to spend 16 hours a day doing whatever the fuck they want, not having to become a wage slave to some corporation with only 1-2 free hours a day.
If you calculate it in terms of free time, a NEET on autismbux lives much more than a normal.
Take 16 hours a day of free time compared with 1-2 hours.
1 year to a NEET is 16 years to a normal. If a NEET kills themselves when they become 30, after 12 years of neetdom, they've had 192 years (worth) of free time while at their body funtionality prime. While Mr. Wage Slave, who dies at 70, has had only 60 years of free time (counting retirement).

Except some people can't accept a lower standard of living. It's much easier for a poor person to cope with being poor than for someone who previously lived a privileged lifestyle. It doesn't apply to all NEETs of course. Some stay at the level of living with which they've become accustomed thanks to their parents. No state I know of pays NEETs enough to live an upper-middle class and above lifestyle.

8 hours?
Okay. So you get up at 7:30 am. you spend 45 minutes getting ready for work. At 8:30 you depart on a motorised vehicle to your cubicle.
(15 minutes of free time)
Lunch break doesn't really count since you can't do what you want. I'll take a +30 minutes since you don't spend 1 hour eating.
It's 5pm and you've had 45 minutes of free time in the day.
You go home, and reach home at 5:40pm.
From 5:40 to 11pm counts as 'free time'.
Half of that is taken up through stuff like cooking, cleaning, looking after house, paying taxes, car maintenance, paying rent/mortgage, listening to wife complain about things, etc. You spend these precious few hours in front of the TV wishing you had more free time.

Okay so that's 6 hours of free time MAXIMUM a day. 10 more hours for neets.

Either way, the math only changes so killing yourself at 35 is optimal for NEETs.
The point is still the same, NEETs live lives with much more free time.

These are all things that NEETs have to do, also, unless you're fine just eating ramen every day, which employed people can also do.

>paying taxes
Twenty hours out of the year, less if you only draw income and don't have to report piles of deductions, rental income, investments, etc.

>car maintenance
Every half-year you take it to the car shop.

>paying rent/mortgage
Takes five minutes to write a check or no time if you've set up automatic transfers.

The term is "quality family time."

I think that sums it up pretty well as I do recall at least one anon claiming to fit into every one of those. I personally can't think of anymore categories though. I'm curious - what's your guesstimate on the non-NEET:NEET/hiki ratio here?

Ahhhhhh so good feeling

Maybe I should....

[Anonymous No.]

>>9833253
Yeah, those people become normals and never learn the wonders of minimised living. They typically have connections through their parents to nice cushy, well paying jobs, so they maintain their nice lifestyle until something crashes and they work 12 hours a day to try and maintain their lifestyle, until it crashes again and they're working 12 hours a day just to stay alive.
I can't really be bother to go through it, but the conclusion is that NEETs don't live anything but trash lives. We've accepted this. You don't need to buy cars, diamonds, toys, hookers, etc to survive.

>>9833267
How is this different to wondering when the next economic crisis will happen and they get laid off and suddenly their mortgage, their kids, their debts all collapse on them and they're suddenly even poorer than neets. Unemployment skyrockets and suddenly they're fucked.
At least NEET life is controlled by democracy. Working life is controlled by the whims of the super rich.

>>9833275
>The point was that normals have hundreds and hundreds of little 5 minute tasks to do.
And the point I'm making is that there's nothing particularly problematic about doing a five-minute task from time to time, or even an hour-long task like preparing a dinner if you're into that sort of thing.

>perverse incentives
So what you're saying is that having a job is accepted as being inferior to doing nothing? Because that's what you're admitting, as a government, when you make welfare nigger tier on purpose. Most of the time it's nigger tier just because it's another expense on the country's expenses, but if you have the funds to do it, when you keep it down because of those perverse incentives, that is what you are doing.
They are saying that unemployment is better than employment.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9833287
Well okay. But if we go back to the main core of the argument- it is that NEETs have much more time not doing stuff they don't want to do. The difference is staggering.
Even if you take 'every hour not in work' as free time, the NEET lifestyle is still surprisingly good.
It's not inferior, even if you die earlier. That's the core. It may even be better.

You're making a ridiculous overgeneralization. Not everyone with decent careers decides to take on an assload of debt. Some actually live intentionally below their means and they have a hugeass safety cushion during rainy days. For example Japs and other Asians in general have a very high savings rate.

Also you're forgetting that having more free time doesn't necessarily mean the utility derived from it will be greater than less free time that was better spent doing what you wanted to. For example some NEETs yearn to travel the world in a cushy 5-star hotel way but that's something only the more privileged normals that you despise would be able to afford. More money in this case simply makes some of the things you want to do in your free time possible.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9833309
If you hate or don't like what you do, then yes, then it might be better to be NEET. Some people like what they do. Some people don't really like what they do but they want to feel like they're contributing to society instead of leeching on it. Others don't like what they do, but they want to have the financial freedom to purchase small luxuries or save for a vacation of whatever it is you do with money, and not have to worry about the calorie-to-cost ratio every time they go shopping. If you value free time more than any of this, then it might be better for you to collect what you can and not work.

and here's another major point; what if all you want to do is watch anime, play VNs, and fuck about on 4chan arguing about stupid shit?

I can tell you from personal experience that there's not enough time in the day to do all this.

Some NEETs want to swim with dolphins,and go to hotels, but I don't understand that shit.

And maybe you'll bring up socialisation. That's a non-issue for us. All these things that normals do just don't interest us.
It's the crux of the issue- being a NEET long term requires sacrifice of things that normals would not like to sacrifice. Like having a family, owning a house, going outside, etc. If you don't mind not having these things, then it's a non-issue, and being a NEET maximises free time to do what you want, and to live on your own choice. Sacrificing 8 hours a day on something you don't want so you can afford that trip to las vegas is just illogical, petty, and pointless. You'd have to value these things as much more than time, but as something that you have to have, no matter the cost.

>No female interest
Do we have to go here? Even if we do feel lonely and secretly deny to ourselves that we want companions, it's not a strong enough feeling to cancel out becoming a wage slave. Most of us have severe social anxiety too, so having a social life and have a female interest are just fearful activities, to be avoided at all costs. The mainline argument here is; so what, it's not worth sacrificing my life for.
And it's not shitty social life, it's NO social life. We don't have social lives. I have zero friends, the last time I talked to a real person was June.

Funny how some people can pay it off within 5 years or just flip it as an investment. Some people are very conservative when it comes to taking credit and the standard of living vs. total income. My family is one of them. You could argue the risks we take are much less than the risks currently faced by NEETs. As mentioned, your heads are on the chopping block.

NEETdom IS the backup. We're here because life failed us, so we're just giving up and dying.
We've accepted that we're going to die in a few years, so instead of struggling, we're maximising free time.
I'm going to kill myself probably in the next year or so.
