God I wish I was a neet

I've been out of the workforce for 6 years, only working 3 months of my life and was fired for being too slow. Now Dad is making me go to his work TOMORROW for some job he (whos like a handyman who can do everything) claims is hard and someone just quit. I'm going to embarrass myself and probably kill myself from the soul crippling depression that comes from losing 10 hours of my day+ to working. I bet i'll even be sore.

>>14580192
Me right now. I literally just ate some tendies/fries for lunch, gonna go read Crime and Punishment after I shit post a bit more. I don't necessarily enjoy being a neet; it just happens to be the situation I find myself in while I'm looking for work. If I found a job I would be happy. I want to work and earn money. That being said, I'm not going to cry over getting to spend my days listening to music, reading hella books, and occasionally watching some kino. I'm reveling in my opportunity to do nothing except that which I desire to do.

>>14580201
What are you waiting for?

>>14580218
You'll adjust to his wage slavery and insistence upon "honest work." Daddy teaches son to be a cuck.

i'm getting free disability money every month but i'm also dying slowly of heart disease

I never do it and just shitpost online, even doing community college i procrastinate the work and just shitpost all day.

"Student" here, but honestly feel like a neet. I read, write, and occasionally watch movies.

>>14580192
If you're gonna live that lifestyle why not write?

>>14580251
Medicaid pays 100% for heart transplants. You can have your doctor get you on a waiting list if he deems it urgent which will be a few years. Once you're the designatory, it's yours, even if you improve and don't need it, so you can just keep it waiting.

>>14580260
>i'm basically a NEET even though I'm not getting free money, free health care, and free food stamps
cringe and cope

>>14580234
redpill me on tendies. will they ease my depression

>>14580272
thanks for the information.

How do I get into classical music?

>>14580293
you don't, classical music is for pseuds

>>14580301
It's the only music that seems fitting for when reading, most others seem too distracting

>>14580192
when i was a neet i was too depressed to be able to concentrate

now that i turned my life around, i don't have the time to read

>>14580304
I've always found metal to be great for reading.

>>14580304
I listen to industrial and dark ambient when I read. It goes well with it desu

>>14580241
I wasn't able to adjust in my first job.I wanted to kill myself and everyone there every day, and they had half day fridays. A friend of mine worked their after and said it was an easy job. I have trouble going on autopilot, i'm fully conscious even when driving, like I can't catche all the information needed to back out of the driveway, everything from putting the seat belt on to the pressure I put on the pedal is a fully conscious action.

>>14580280
For me, tendies are the optimal way to enjoy chicken. They are:
>breaded and fried, so they are delicious
>longer and thicker than nuggies, so they can satiate an adult man
>thin enough to dip into sauce
>are usually served with fries and a drink, so you get a well balanced meal
Sitting at my computer chair with some TV queued up and some tendies, sauce, and fries on my table makes me euphoric. I tendies more than cigarettes, more than booze, more than fucking.

>>14580316
funny how you mention metal, Bolaño listened to it while writing

>>14580307
If work fixes your "depression" it's because you are of the natural slave caste and find having autonomy over your time a crippling responsibility.

>>14580192
No I wish I could go back to neetdom though. Get me out of this cagie. Looking to go part time as a compromise.

>>14580331
This, working just increased my depression tenfold

>>14580338
Anything over 24 hours a week is absolutely inhumane

I wish I lived in some commie block where my basic needs were met,I've heard they didn't actually have to work very much. I lived on 6k for 8 years mainly spending it on restaurants with friends once every 2 months or so and the occasional novelty or repair. (granted I probably got an additional 600$ or so a year in gifts and tax returns)

>>14580280
They'll make it worse. Chicken is factory farm meat, and even if it was organic, it is is one of the most inflammatory proteins out there on account that the ratio of long-chain omega-6 (inflammatory) to omega-3 fatty acids (anti-inflammatory) is very high. Unless you're eating offal like liver, there is not a good nutritional reason to eat chicken over beef and pork. The only argument for chicken is it's cheap cost.

In terms of best protein sources:

Fatty fish >>>>> Most offal (independent of species but if ranked presumably would follow the course of all this)>>> Beef > Pork >>>>>>>>>>>>>> chicken and shit-tier non-fatty fish

>>14580192
>look at how cultured i am

>>14580355
You fucks need to learn a trade or skill and get actual jobs you care about. If your not doing something you don't hate, then yea it's going to suck

>>14580304
Classical is the most distracting music. What separates classical from the rest was it was created for the purpose of being performed, it demands attention.

I need to learn some personal trade I can do in a few hours to barely make a living. I think I really am suited for living in squalor in some cabin in the woods. I found one guy who is a cement/brick maker or something which seems like a decent idea. Alternatively I think I could probably tolerate working seasonally long hours in something like the fishing industry and then going on unemployment the rest of the year. The only hard part is that is would be hard to find a mate and start a family, but i've pretty much lost hope of that anyway.

>>14580331
where did i say that?

work didn't fix my depression, but i have to work to keep a roof over my head and food in my stomach now that i am out of my parent's house

>>14580368
>cheap cost
Literally what? More expensive than pork or beef where I live

Find low overhead jobs that you can just read while at work, neet is obviously better but low stress jobs are out there if youre not that passionate about working

>>14580374
There is no possible job I could care about. I don't like doing stuff I enjoy 40+ hours a week. Let alone working for someone else. A job is just a means to an end, I'm not falling for that 'dream job' shit. Of course this doesn't mean some jobs being more tolerable than others. Selling yourself isn't some kind of dream though

>>14580426
I find chicken breasts for 50 cents a pound.

>>14580443
The issue with fake jobs with lots of downtime is having to "look busy" is demeaning and stressful, time also passes more slowly. Being forced to spend your time somewhere you don't want to be is one of the most inhumane aspects of work culture. Regardless of what you are doing, you don't want to have to do it there.

>>14580293
I really like Mahler and Dvorak but you can always start with the super names like Mozart and Beethoven. If you are using YouTube it is a good way to just go down the rabbit hole of classical through the related videos. Don't listen to that other anon you don't have to be a pseud to enjoy it good luck I hope you find some music you enjoy!

>>14580447
You never know what you can like though. Yea I sound like a cliche faggot normie, but when i decided to be done with retail and get a skill I picked CNA since it went with my life experiences and I hated it. However I had never even heard of phlebotomy before and always hates needles. For some reason I decided to take the class and realized not only dis I actually enjoy this, I was surprisingly good at it and it made me feel good about myself. And now I get to hang out in a lab between patients and read anything I want and get paid for it. You would be surprised how many jobs and skills are out there. It's worth looking and asking others. Even looking up trade schools around you

>>14580322
Take your meds but unironically.

NEET artist here. I spend 5 hours a day drawing while listening to classical music. Another 1-2 hours goes in guitar practice, a couple of hours on reading, and the rest of my time hanging out with friends and family. If you anons are planning on going the productive-NEET route understand that learning self discipline is absolutely vital

>>14580192
for sure. I hate also vidya, haven't been playing anything for years. however, I really enjoy reading, listening to classical music or minimal techno, and watching good kinos. been doing that for the past year basically.

can't really complain, I could do this for the rest of my life honestly. too bad my neetbux are ending soon so I'll probably have to start wagecucking again

>>14580474
How have you managed to live as a NEET and still keep a living space, snacks, ect?

>>14580502
SSDI + Public Housing + SNAP (in that order).

>>14580502
I live in a 3rd world country, so what little 1st world money I get from my family goes a long way. Don’t need to go out shopping (everything gets delivered to the door), and a maid/cook is pretty cheap

I quit my job of 8 years in Dec, been neet for a month. It's pretty fucking based but sometimes feel a bit weird / guilty. Guess I've still got my wage slave programming atm.

>>14580368
Salmonpilled

>>14580374
Fear of homelessness and starvation aside, why would anyone care about a job?

>>14580455
Those are stressful only if you have managers that also take their job that serious, but youre not wrong.

i'm a neet (not by choice) and i fucking hate it so much. i have all this time to work on my passions but no motivations. thankfully i'll only be a neet for 2 more years. just have to make sure i don't kill myself till then

>>14580543
It's stressful if you are forced to stay put in one place and the downtime makes you more painfully aware of it.

>>14580531
>being a parasite off your family instead of society.
cringe.

>>14580547
Elaborate. This makes little sense without more context.

>>14580541
Jobs signal social capital. Regardless of if you like it or not it's always be a large part of your identity, (and constantly seeking emancipation from such predetermined identities is what causes libertine trannyism) to the point it was often what became your last name.

>>14580374
blow me

>>14580564
I’m living with some older relatives - if I weren’t here the cost would be way here

>>14580240
It's not this easy though. Claiming/staying on benefits can become a full time job. I guess this is dependent on your country but if they crack down they will do everything they can to get you off benefits.

>>14580595
way higher*

>>14580578
Identifying with your job doesn't work under capitalism when most people end up doing disparate random jobs they can get and you can be let go with a moments notice.

>>14580593
> he knows it's the truth and is just making excuses to not be an adult and just be shut in consumer, who think they will teach themselves stuff but won't do shit

>>14580374
liking your job is fucking gay dude

>>14580599
yep. this is one of the reasons i went back to work. my country will force you to do some sort of education or training so i thought i might as well do something of my own choosing

>>14580620
wagie cope. sitting inside doing nothing is preferable to wagecuckery. Woah you sit in a different building 8 hours a day and make money for someone else, and then probably go home and consume mindlessly like you're complaining about to cope for the next workday.

>>14580630
And what did you do today?

>>14580605
>Identifying with your job doesn't work under capitalism

It doesn't matter if you identify with it or not. It's a part of your identity regardless. It's a crucial part of your social capital for how others understand you.

>an be let go with a moments notice.
The company usually isn't what matters so much as your specialization. Being a programmer at apple has prestige in some circles but it's being a programmer that people identify you as. Even "factory worker" is a known identity.

>>14580636
went to work like a dumb wagie, just come back actually, but at least i don't have to lie to myself to make myself feel better

>>14580636
Whatever he wanted. The slave caste can't comprehend the existential value having this freedom of time and autonomy has, even if it amounts to being bedridden and browsing the internet most of the time. What you are doing is secondary to be forced to do it, or being forced to be in a particular place.

>>14580620
>you're only a real adult if you get in the cagie
you have the same conception of maturity that manchildren and literal children have. you are not mature just because you did something nearly everyone does that is essentially nothing more then going along with what comes at you. not that neetdom is inherently any better, but you're just really retarded.

>>14580599
Not in America.

>>14580578
Guess I'd rather see libertine trannies instead of sad schmucks who bind their identities to the way they pay the bills.

>>14580682
That is to say, it is very easy to collect disability in America.

>>14580653
>>14580667
What if my job entails doing stuff most people can't or won't do and it's helping others?

>>14580700
None of the things you listed are inherently valuable. What exactly is your point?

>>14580700
>people can't or won't do
probably unnecessary then
>helping others
probably a form of "help" detrimental to society as most artificial kindness is

>>14580700
More cope. But if you enjoy your job or get value from it, whatever. But why do you people always try and shit on NEETs who simply don't have the same views? It's why it always comes across as cope.

>>14580714
Is a NEET more respectable than the doctor who takes care of him, or the people transporting the gasoline to the gas stops so they can fill their car up?
I just work in a morgue and dress the bodies up and clean them but I enjoy my work and the pride of making someone's love one look decent when they were a THOT and died in a brutal accident. Are my ideals the same level as NEETS just because I spend my hours at work all day? Is a NEET a better person for society than me?
That question isn't trying to inflate my ego, I just didn't know how to word it better

>>14580192
This is truly the life.
That’s what nobles did.
That’s what I work for (in the hope of one day afford doing it).

>>14580740
NEETs and doctors are on the same team. Imagine them shaking hands in the infamous anti-midwit meme.

>>14580740
yes, unironically. doctors are almost entirely awful people.

If you are leaching off the system, or trading crypto, or even committing outright fraud to support your Neet life, then great- more power to you. But if you shit on people who have to work, then you are a piece of shit and probably just trying to cope with your sorry existence; especially if you are leeching off your family. Neets who shit on "wagies" and waste away their days posting on 4channel, all the while living on their parents'/family's dime are the lowest of the low. Some of us have no choice but to work to support ourselves; do you honestly think we enjoy working 40hrs a week to line anothet man's pockets?

>>14580768
Then what should we use instead? Who would you go too if you injure yourself. Genuine question. What would be the substitute

>>14580782
>tfw missed out on crypto
IT'S NOT FAIR

>>14580782
You're right. Give this man a round of applause.

>>14580787
Depends. Surgeons ect are obviously needed, but most doctors aka GPs provide a service that is literally just google it tier (this is what most of them basically do)

>>14580782
I mean 4chan and memes aside this is the reality of modern life. And they know jt. I'm sure it's half shitposting and half actuall NEETS trying to cope. The reality is that they are dengerate leaches. Literally nothing is gained by having them alive. And I'm sure they bitch that they don't get an partners and come up with their " oh you work for a new haha" meme. We all do faggot, you don't think getting your gibs from Jewish overlords is any better. " well I get to sit at home and get their money while you work " and ruin the live of decent other people and any chance of getting a better group of people to resist an actually change something about life.
But I'm sure they will fall back on their nihilism meme exscuse and that nothing they do matters in the grand scheme and that thought will let them sleep at mid morning till 5 pm.

>>14580789
I said more power to you. I wish I had bought up link or held some silk-road era bitcoin before they mooned, but I didn't. I have nothing wrong with Neets but if you're a literal man-child who can't function and basically holds his family emotionally hostage, then you are a piece of shit, especially if you shit on people who need to just suck it up and work to get by.

>>14580830
/thread

>>14580811
You say it like all NEETs are NEETs by choice. The amount of unemployed is a purposeful design by the system. Ever heard of the reserve force of labor? You're punching down instead of up. Resentment at the wrong people. It's as childish as the behavior you're claiming is childish.

>>14580740
From society's standpoint, of course doctors are more "respectable" than NEETs.

The second case is more nuanced: as production is driven by demand, there's no reason why consumers would be respected less than producers, since consumers are the ones ultimately giving money to said producers. Yet, thanks in part to the protestant meme work ethic, the are. We're seeing this contradiction battle out every day.

The thing is, though: you keep referring to "society" as a moral barometer. I say, as we are all private individuals in pursuit of happiness, that your position is questionable.

Social capital, divorced from the material conditions it may provide, is irrelevant. It doesn't matter what society thinks, as long as you individually are happy.

Likewise, if providing value to society makes you unhappy, and you don't see the compensation worthy enough - why do it? To get a figurative pat on the back from the very people who don't compensate you well enough, just because you've tied your identity to your work? Sounds silly, senpai.

So what's the point of caring about the job, again?

>>14580782
>do you honestly think we enjoy working 40hrs a week to line anothet man's pockets?

You probably don't. But what do you choose to do about it? You put on a sorry smile, bow your head, and say "yes, sir, thank you, sir!" to your boss/clients. And then you go on and contribute to the very society that put you there in a first place.

There's nothing to be proud of here, anon.

>>14580941
What do you do about it?

>>14580992
Become a NEET.

>>14580992
Something similar, sadly :(

Only, I don't put on a smile.
And try to bow my head less, often to my detriment.

Look at a job board right now. Holy fuck how do people not look at this shit and not want to instantly kill themselves. Without connections it seems you're fucked. I bet these bottom of the barrel jobs get hundreds of application too.

>>14581015
How does that help?

>>14581043
Your contribution to said society ceases, and they instead contribute to you.

I quit my job a week ago and I feel like I gained a few IQ points

>>14580638
And we should care about social capital because?

>>14580684
you don't get a choice in your identity, which is why seeking emancipation from things that are already set in stone (or a spirit of rebellion) is always pathological.

>>14580319

Foetus is based neet music

>>14581096
Because social capital is an extremely important power dynamic, no one wants to be a disenfranchised pariah, will to power is a thing and people are social no matter how autistic you think you are.

9 years of neetdom total. only in the last year have i started doing anything meanwhile like reading. lost count of just how many things i've read total in these past 6 months specifically. if only i remembered that i used to enjoy it when i was younger earlier

>>14581064
Neets are modern warlords and welfare is tribute given to these masters in a futile attempt to placate them so they don't shoot up consoomer shopping malls.

>>14581128
Professional NEETs are too high IQ and have too much impulse control to do that. Their machinations are set on better things like coming up with ways to get more NEETbuxs.

>>14580192
can someone post this video again, i cant find it

>>14581155
Most neets are lolbertaridans exploiting the system for its own sake but have sincere disdain for the modern world or at least their lot in it. They are all ticking time bombs, even if it takes 40 years.

>>14581182
aren't lolbertardians*

>>14581182
Loberterians and the "NEETs" you described are the sort of scum that live with their parents and are funded by them, and usually complain about muh gibs. Professional NEETs with disability checks are more akin to monks than the unstable.

>>14581204
"Professional NEETs" that focus on ways to get more neetbucks are lolbertardians just exploiting a market. Most neets are ultimately social rejects who logically also reject society. It is natural to be "unstable" in such a situation. NEETs are more than last man who just seek comfort and have no other desires or aspirations. If you are woke enough to have a distaste for work for it's own sake, there is going to be a level of intersectionality where there is plenty of disdain for other structures of globohomo neoliberalism. There is already a level of sociopathic disregard for the wagie or normalfag caste.

>>14580782
cope more, wagie

>>14580830
>man-child
because all the onions boys who buy endless capeshit merch and live for the next star wars are totally mature and developed men because they have job, right? lmao, you're trying so lard to cope with living a wagie life you hate its pathetic.

I recently graduated from engineering school. Instead of fervently looking for work ive been just applying for 1 or 2 jobs a week, and otherwise just been reading, writing, playing music or going to the gym everyday. I know I shouldn't, I know I should work, to not be a financial burden to my parents who have done so much, I know that having my own home and means of supporting myself would be good for me, and hell, I'm lonely like this. But, I just love my daydreams so much.

>>14580192
>Not all NEETs are into video games/anime/TV shows, you know
yes but 99% of them are

How do you cope if you have aspergers, dropped out of higher education due to bullying, quit your last job due to ostracization and bullying, have been prescribed SSRIs for depression and anxiety, are neurotic, unassertive, submissive, overemotional, constantly visibly nervous, self absorbed, vain, needy, desperate, maladjusted, whiny, self doubting, lacking any decent personality, completely lacking in any social dominance, uncharismatic, effeminate, harmless, often look like you're about to cry, always avoiding conflict, pretentious, unable to deal with others, weak willed, naive, agreeable, overly self conscious, lacking any real life experience due to your mental illnesses, living with parents. self hating, lacking confidence, overthinking, unable to feel aroused by normal sex, have no friends, unable to take risks or make decisions for yourself?

The few times I've started working at a place someone has always asked me if I was still living with my parents, once the social check is failed later on the inevitable abuse, manipulation etc begins, the physical aspect of the work is usually extremely easy

>>14581562
If you digust yourself, try to turn it into pity, and then finally into love.

>>14581562
You file for disability and public housing, retard.

What’s the point of reading books if you can’t own noobs at video games? We don’t send the special ed kids to med school.

In Belgium the mentally ill are taken care of by loving families

All the places I've got hired from, are places I've showed up in person. Anyone can get an entry level job, but you need to actually show up irl to stand out. Mcdonalds hired me on the spot, generic grocery market was the same story.

>>14580368
Fellas I’m not sure this is true if you don’t eat the breaded tendies a just buy some chicken breasts.

>>14581816
Those are not entry level jobs but jobs of last resort.

>>14580400
You seem to be where I’m headed in a few years. Any advice on how not to get there if you have some?

i spend two hours getting ready. i then walk into town, sit on a bench, read, and wait for women to approach ME.

>>14580426
Where do you live? In Midwest us beef is like $8 a lb and chicken is like $2-3

>>14581877
Do you only go to organic grocery stores? Try $5 a pound for beef.

>>14580531
Could I move to a third world country and skilled NEET who brushes up on drawing and writing and shit to become an Internet animator or some other commissioned job that could earn first world bucks in the third world could I just use that to get by instead of leeching off of my family?

>>14580535
How long are you planning on being/able to be a NEET? Did that job earn you a lot or are your family giving you some cash or are you just riding out your time on unemployment?

>>14581785
>Taking life advice from Sam Hyde
You'd have to be a moron. I think he's funny too, when he wants to be, but I would take anything he says with a grain of salt.

>>14580192
28yo neet here. still figuring out to do with life. dropped out twice. lost the greatest love of my life. routine revolves around going to the church and doing /lit/ and catholic stuff. occasionaly i paint but i lack discipline and i'm still too hurt from the breakup

>>14580543
Fuck dude it scares me that I’ll end up becoming one of those managers. As of right now I’ve still only jumped between part time work, but now that I’m coming to an end of undergrad I’m going to have to get a real job and its probably going tkm end up being the manager at a dollar store. Then can I be proud of that job? No. Then I would be a soulless corporate shill who is working a teenager’s job in his middle age. Fuck my life can’t even be romanticized into being cool with my imagination. I might as well just end it.

>>14580605
Or end up in lower management at some corporate franchise and then become unable to be proud of their job because then they would be corporate shills.

>>14580192
The neet lifestyle, properly wielded, is indeed conducive to literature. Paper and pens cost virtually nothing and even first world neets typically have access to a computer to do research or type up finalized drafts. The only danger is the slow brain-rot and the unrelenting shame of being unmanned and useless.

>>14581936
If paper costs nothing how come my school couldn’t afford ample paper supplies even though they had money to pay out millions to the teacher who got harassed and the girl who got raped on a field trip? Clearly paper costs millions a sheet.

I’m studying to become an archeologist. Am I wasting my time? Even if I make it? I don’t think I am, but do the hardcore NEET?

>>14580192
>tfw laid off last Monday

Also yes but I've mostly been listening to Les Rallizes Dénudés bootlegs and Indonesian noise music. Going to get my teeth cleaned and join a climbing gym tomorrow. We /maximum comfy/ boys. Thanks for paying my sabbatical, wagies.

>>14581852
>Any advice on how not to get there if you have some?
If my likely lifestyle isn't palatable (living in squalor with some low paying sustinece trade or seasonal work) you need to be a wageslave and live in the city or suburb going 40+ hours a week, win the lottery, follow uncle ruckus disability guide and fake it till you make it/don't care that the woman you are with is some whoremongers discarded concubine who is incapable of loving you.

I was previously neet for most of my life, having been a wageslave, saving the money and then just living with my parents. now i'm back to wageslavery but i can't see it lasting very long. I'm not a very good wageslave, i rarely last more than 3 months-one year because I work too slow and fail to meet their quotas. I just save up the money wageslaving and go on a sabbatical while "looking" for work, but now that my parents are retiring soon I need cheap rent which means few jobs besides some self employment or seasonal work subsistence stuff. I'm very frugal with my money so long as basic needs are met because I sincerely hate fun (I don't buy gadgets, experiences or drugs) and just pirate media.

Yes unless you have connections.

Brain rot will only happen if you only play video games and jack off. Exercise, reading, perusing creative endeavors will keep you sharp minded

>>14581927
>proud of their job
You all keep looking at is from the job holders perspective and not the outside perspective. Your identity is primarily contingent on the society around you, regardless of how you feel about it. Your family, birthplace, race, sex, occupation etc are what people use to construct your identity and make social judgements about you. Being a manager/in management is a substantial part of what and who you are to the society around you. You can change what the job is and move up or down the social capital totem pole, but you can never emancipate yourself from the work you do forming a critical part of your identity outside a potential (and usually disingenuous) solipsistic stance. "my job isn't who I am to ME" is of little consequence when it will always be a big part of who you are to the world around you.

non of which any NEET does

My man we’re talking about applying to real jobs all over the country that we are specially trained for. For example, I am an accountant with a degree from a college with a name that most people are familiar with. If I ever start working in fast food again, even as a manager I’d kill myself.

I envy anyone who can be remotely productive whilst being a NEET. I have a mountain of books I've bought in charity shops/2nd hand books stores over the past couple years that I'll never get to, a few drafts of novels and collections of poetry I started but quickly lost interest in, music projects I'll never complete... I've tried but I just can't bring myself to do anything other than burn through my music backlog and watch random Youtube videos. The only productive thing I've done in my 7-8 years of NEETdom is become fairly proficient at guitar (I can comfortably play a lot of John Fahey tunes and some solo classical pieces) but it's going to waste.

that's already a waste

how old are you neets

The only way to keep your mind sharp is to be lost in neurotic fantasy most of the time. Trying to develop a routine (where you live on autopilot or passive consume/perform actions) or falling for the cult of productivity meme is channeling the wagie spirit into the neet lifestyle. Most neets naturally find video games and anime and the like boring after a while. The greatest joy in neetdom is having the time to think, regardless of the merit of your thoughts. You don't spend much time on autopilot "going through the motions"

Don't get me wrong i'm not saying any of those things are bad, but they shouldn't be seen as compulsory. Neets have the freedom and autonomy to live their life as they see fit. Pursue creative endeavors if you actually want to and have the aptitude for it, rather than for it's own sake to ward off "brain rot" or "neet depression" If you go for walks, do it for it's own sake, and not for some dehumanized notion of performing "maintenance" to make sure the living machine doesn't malfunction. I need X amount of time learning to play instrument, X amount of exercise, X amount of reading philosophy as a surrogate activity etc etc in order to keep my hormones balanced and function properly. NEETs are already more alive and alive on different levels than normalfags.

I am still near the beginning of my studies. So I still have plenty of time to make those connections. Even just getting to know your professors really well is good for a start right? Maybe joining a club at my college could help, but doesn’t that seem like a waste of time if these other people in the club are all my age or younger.

>>14582057
I do them, i'm just not some voracious consumer of them. The entertainment industry is shit and you really can't enjoy consuming passive media all the time. I've literally run out of youtube videos that are at least mildly entertaining and too my taste to watch so I only manage like 30 minutes of it a day. I almost never play video games besides replaying something and don't bother watching anime at all. A lot of time is simply spent daydreaming.

>Even just getting to know your professors really well is good for a start right?
Do they actually work in the field? The only connections that matter is someone who can personally get you a job (or invite you to lucrative parties to meet people who can) Reference letters mean fuck all because most of the job market is not open to the public.

Archeology is a hard field to get into. You'd have a harder time actually becoming a psychologist with a psychology degree.

i never worked in my life, but i had a very special girlfriend. i'd drop neetdom and become a wageslave to afford having a family and a compatible wife

>tfw you suppress your yearning for actual human female companionship with cooming 2-5 times a day and watching your asmrfu
>tfw your mother prematurely ends your relaxing post orgasm brain state for feeding time as your eyelids droop like a heroin addicts and lying in bed you reach peak contentedness again

Any other things I could augment this battle against loneliness with? I was thinking I could pay for the youngest most attractive female therapist near me and pretend to actually want to significantly improve my life
Would seeing her make me feel more or less lonely?

>>14582132
You won't have a family as a wageslave. Your children will be raised by the state, as you will have no time for them and will be too exhausted afterwards. your wife's true husband will the state/ social norms whose authority she naturally submits to, who provides for her since the state allows her to provide for herself with womans welfare jobs like HR.

The purpose of work is alienation from the family. Work because your primarily life.

go for it. my friend was a geology major and spent all of undergrad digging for fossils in Utah. he made plenty of connections. you gotta actively seek out the fieldwork

Adopting a daughterfu doesn't work. I tried this with my cousin but after a few years mom suddenly thought we were too close/it's weird for an adult to interact with a kid and told her to cut contact due to pedo hysteria.

Just get a cat or dog. It's the only thing you are allowed to love. It will never compare to the fulfillment that comes with human affection though.

>>14582183
ah yes because we all know NEETS with no jobs that live off of welfare make great families. All those white trash and black families that live off gibs just like NEETS have such great lives

>>14581243
>There is already a level of sociopathic disregard for the wagie or normalfag caste.
They're mostly sociopaths themselves and thrive in this environment though

>>14582278
These aren't neets, they are drug addicted misfits and criminals. False equivalency. The modern work structure being used to destroy family ties has little to do with rejecting work outright. NEETs don't get a family, they can't support one or attract a mate, but wagies are naive if they think they actually get any of the benefits of family life while being a wage slave. They are closer to roommates than family members.

This. Classical is the most attention demanding music and hence least appropriate for reading.
