Negative hedonism is where it's at, lad. Once you stop chasing pleasure things become a lot more pleasurable.

I enjoy it when I live well, which for me means a simple life with very few obligations and a lot of self-discipline.

When I have too much nonsense forced upon me I'm generally too weak to keep up my good habits and become unhappy, so I still have a lot of practising to do.

I appreciate the spirited response, but it still reeks of a 'there's a diamond somewhere in this shit heap if you look hard enough' biased optimism to be honest. 'There is an agreeable place for you in the workforce' is the same sort of idea as the popular 'there is a special someone out there for everybody just keep looking and putting yourself out there' rhetoric, while in reality most people don't end up with their dream job and soulmate. There is no good reason to believe there is a comfy life just waiting for everyone or even the majority of us except for wishful thinking.

As for me personally, NEETdom brings me what no form of employment can and what I value above most other things: Freedom from obligation. So I can already safely say no job can compete with it.

I think I've been a nihilist all along and will never not be a nihilist.
