If you are NEET you probably have no financial resources at your disposal, and are thus incapable of actually doing anything.

Therefore you are most likely living with your parents and online every day. You waste the day on trivial pursuits like vidya or 4chan, no different to your teenage years. You are trapped perpetually in your own immaturity.

There's no heroism to the NEET. He is not the hermit nor the outlaw making his own way in the world, shunning societal expectations. He is the coward, his solitude most probably brought about by his own anxiety and inability to function in the social sphere. He is not mentally fit for employment, therefore he opts out of society because it is the easiest and least difficult option for him to take.

He is a shut in. One day blends into the next. The past is a blur, the years indistinguishable from eachother. His life consists of insomnia and mindless consumption of online activity. He is deeply ashamed of his position in life, and his parents are probably utterly lost on how to help him, coming from another generation.

The NEET lifestyle can largely be sustained because of the internet. Therefore the only interesting aspect of the NEET is how he is going to explain away years of unemployment on his resume, and/or survive after his parents decide to no longer help provide him a living (perhaps, they will die and leave the NEET entirely isolated). As this lifestyle is largely a recent phenomenon, very few NEET's have had to face up to this.

One thing is certain, the NEET's fate is inescapable. He either suicides or tries to re-integrate into society, despite being mentally traumatised by his long-term NEETdom.

I hope I am strong enough to join you all in society some day.

Yours faithfully, a 3am NEET.

And then entered a man who once held so much promise, but now squanders his existence away in abject misery and self-loathing. He was very aware of the fact that life would not end well for him.

27, no job, no home of my own, no hope, no future. Beginning to see nothing for me on the horizon.

What should I read to try and pull me out of this rut, /lit/?

This is not a cry for help, it is a simple request for guidance.

Here's a pointless story:

I saw Savannah Brown at comic con on Saturday. She was with her boyfriend. It was kind of surreal, actually seeing her in real life. She's far taller than I'd have expected.

They looked really happy together, and I was dressed as a fucking jedi.

I'm tired of never really having the power to shape my own path due to the interference of forces outside my control exercising their will over what I would like to believe is mine.

Recommend me some literature pertaining to satisfying my lust for power and thus immunity from getting cucked?
