>>16150329
I'm about to turn 26 next month. I have a BA and a MA, a paid stipend as a PhD student, some teaching experience and more to come as part of my program, and only 10k debt (never had any more debt than that), which I can pay off right now if I wanted, but I'm not in case Joe Biden erases it. Feels nice.

i heard someone say this book was very graphic and sad

>>16150401
I wouldn't call it "graphic", but morose for sure.

>>16150401
Not graphic, but it might induce suicidal anxiety as you feel the years slip away.

>>16150903
Is it too late to get in on it, or should I look for another one?

I've never had a job or a gf

>>16150329
You're not missing much, modern day work is unnatural and unfulfilling.

tfw 24, dropped out of college at 17 in 2012ish and have had one job since then that lasted roughly eight months, that was from late 2017 to mid 2018, now too embarrassed to apply for anything because they will inevitably ask what the fuck i've been doing over the last decade, yet i still have to convince them that i'm 'dedicated' and a 'hard worker'. kill me. obliterate all life.

Damn guys, what the hell

Your suicide note probably will at some point. Who are NEETs trying to kid, honestly?

>>16151358
Maybe you should look into other sources of income like shoe reselling, stocks, just something more entrepreneurial.

I am 27 yo, on a dead end job with a shitty salary with no prospects because of corona.
I am still living with my parents, never had a girlfriend and the only time I had sex was with a prostitute.
And I didn't even came.

Funny enough, had been listening to Nirvana a lot recently.

if you're even somewhat "good with computers", and im not even talking about programming knowledge, you can easily insert yourself into any small business as an admin and amaze them with your excel skills. learn how to do a pivot table and they will think you are magical. i kid you not.

not even joking. most small business owners are scatterbrained as fuck and have no time to learn how to do anything properly, no time to look up and experiment with software, etc.

Get a qualification, any qualification. Even the shittiest certificate or diploma makes your resume look infinitely better than one with nothing, also volunteer for charity work and put that on your resume, HR roasties love that

>>16151845
If it's at all possible for you, I've found that genuinely the best way to get away from all this shit is to just have some semblance of a social life. It's nigh impossible to think about porn and all this other nonsense when you're outside doing stuff you like. Of course, not possible for everyone, but I thought I'd suggest it just in case.

Charities are just resume filler for people with absolutely nothing, especially for ppl who didn't go to college and don't have an extracurriculars. Moreover, volunteering for charity is actually very competitive in places like NYC that are filled with overachieving fucks, there can be months or years long waiting list to volunteer at some places, you could probably get a job that pays money easier to be honest

gonna turn 29 next month never worked dropped out twice of university. after years dating gf left me because i live with my mother. regrets? a lot

Hermit-like mental self-sufficiency. Long-term NEETdom cuts you off from society at large and goes against all the social conditioning you've absorbed. Many people crack after some time and become desperately unhappy. I'm not talking about the independently wealthy variety or the scam artist who jumps from host to host, of course, but the true dyed-in-the-wool parents' basement/social security loser NEET.

>>16150329
I'm a 25 yr old high school dropout. Dropped out of college too. I thought I'd make it but I didn't. I know how you feel, OP.
Gonna go back to college with a colloquium doctum and get a government "loan" that I'll never pay back. At least that'll give me a few more years of fucking around on the government's dime.

Now that I've been a neet for 5 years. I've come to the conclusion that it's really hopeless for us. There is no easy pull yourself up by the bootstraps fix for this. We missed the boat and fucked our lives up for good. It's exhausting to see people recommend getting a qualification or just stop watching porn or whatever. That does nothing. Best case scenario is a dead end job and alone forever eventually inheriting parents house. That's all I can see.

>NEET book
Welcome to the N.H.K. novel
It's about a 22 year old NEET trying to break out of being a hikokomori, but he fails and the author himself says so in the afterward that he is still a massive loser even 5 years after writing it.

>>16150344
You can fuck up for 3 more years and still be better than me.
Get a job at a factory. TV made you scared of it, but really, you go there, someone holds your hand all day/week depending on how long it takes to learn a job and then you mindlessly repeat the simple task and get paid for it. And with 50-150 people per shift depending on it's size, you'll make friends too.

Trust me. They make the shit as easy as possible because workplaces can't discriminate, so they hire absolute retards. The irony being that the actual downies are better at work than the assholes who try as hard as they can to not work, doubly so because the work is easier than trying to look busy without doing work.

Don't fear. Go for a plastics factory. Nothing heavy there if you're out of shape. Painting is heavy, because you'll be painting metal shit, and even hanging 3 pound springs all day will wear your arms out, reaching to the top of the rack.

>>16150329
>21, dropped out of college this spring because I went berserk and stopped going to class after my gf broke up with me
>never made a single friend during 3 years of uni
>never had sex, which is even more embarrassing post-college

>can't use that on resume because I burned that bridge when I quit by just never showing up or contacting them again
>25k in debt
>living with my parents, no way out for the foreseeable future
>tfw it might be best just to join a monastery at this point

21 is very young and 25k isn't that much relatively speaking. You'll be fine.

>>16150329
Try reading Oblomov by Ivan Goncharov. It does a pretty nice job of showing what passiveness in life can lead you to.

>>16150344
Same except I dropped out of community college and I have no debt.

I tried partial hanging myself like 5 times yesterday, but failed miserably. Had to use an extension cord and a door knob because I don't want my family to find out before I die. I read the entire SanctionedSuicide hanging guide twice and still failed.
People describe instant loss of consciousness 10 seconds after you compress your carotid arteries, but all it did for me was making my head feel like it was going to explode and a little bit of convulsions.

Hey anon. I get that once every couple years. It sticks with me as part of my every waking moment, then it goes away. There's nothing we can do about it, but we can still make our own everyday lives better for ourselves, and that's good enough most of the time.

It's also horribly written, as most Light Novels are.

I think I finally found a career path I can be serious about after being a worthless waste of space for years but the anxiety that my resume has been irreparably fucked by all those years of inactivity still tugs at me.
How much do recruiters care about me having ~6 years of nothing between my high school graduation and college? I attended college during those years but never actually got any credits or diplomas so it doesn't count.

i wonder how many useless under 30s men there are, with no prospects, no degree (or a useless one), no career. in the past we'd probably have enlisted as cannon fodder or sent off to the colonies or something and now we just fade into irrelevant neetdom

>>16150344
Get into a trade

>>16150329
26 with no debt and make a decent living just working a phlebotomist job that I got from a trade school for free. I actually enjoy my work, feel useful and have some self worth. And I get steady hours and can spend my off time just reading and lead ing languages and cooking. That's my life and I'm happy. Trade are pretty cool to have

>>16157798
Lol

>>16150388
what did you hope to gain by sharing this information?

Sign up for a CDL class. Pass your exam. Start driving 18 wheelers.
You can earn a decent living and still be pretty anti social.

Yo, I'm 20 y/o and I'm thinking of studying philosophy mainly because it's the only field that actually interests me. Thing is, obviously this degree is useless but I'm thinking it'll be alright because I could just work a min wage job and do some self-made shit on the side (music, yt videos, drawing, filmmaking, anything that fulfills me) and then hopefully start a career off of that.
I used to study cs but I dropped out after one semester because all the students were filthy bugmen and the thought of sitting in front of a computer screen for 8+ hours a day working on a project that I'm not even interested in plus all the shitty internships I'd have to do just to climb up the career ladder would kill my soul.
What should I do bros? Go for what interests me or for what pays?
>>16150329
this is when you start doing your own shit. Go see if you can make valuable content off of shit that you like. start a yt channel, a podcast, learn a skill that you can apply etc. We are lucky that we are not 100% dependent on employers to make money when we have the internet. Use it.
>>16155636

>ill be alright because i'll just do some vague side hustle
>hopefully this undefined thing i've made no real plans regarding becomes my entire career
>i used to study but dropped out because bleh

not trying to be mean but you should be more realistic about your future.

>>16160115
you're right, but then again I feel like we're all walking on thin ice anyway so why plan something? the way I see it, the only alternative is climbing up the career ladder by doing internships and essentially becoming a slave to your employers. You may be "safe" in that sense but at what cost?
I don't have one specific thing that I'm certain to be successful at, I still need to find out what works me but that takes time. Most people need time to figure this out, there's no need for rush.

>>16159842
>tfw this anon is like the younger version of me
I'm 25, I also switched out of a possible CS life after one semester trying it out (I hated it) and became a philosophy major because that's the only field I'm very interested in. I'm in a PhD program right now. My hope is to make it through and land a job in academia. Since that's competitive, the worst case scenario means I don't get a job, in which case like yourself I might turn to a minimum wage job, maybe even something better depending on what's available. I don't think I would mind it. I grew up poor and that's the only life I know, and I've been ok all my life, things can only improve from here. Like you I'm interested in maybe making self-made stuff like videos since I have a philosophy background, I think I could get some kind of an audience if I put in the effort. I draw on the side as well so I could take commissions down the line. I genuinely wish you the best. Keep doing what you're doing. I'm making it out okay. My only advice is that you only go into philosophy if you feel you're really good at it compared to other philosophy majors at your school. Then go get a PhD (maybe an MA in the process) at a competitive top ranking program. Good luck anon.

>>16157956
i dunno just do it

If you at least have soooome skill in a above average degree, with luck and dedication, you can push yourself ahead. I started playing classical guitar at 18 and today I have a comfy work teaching. In no fucking I'm the best, because I started too late to rack up those years of experience. My rec, probably learn cooking or a trade. If you are good, then it won't matter how old you are.

>>16160371
thanks man, always feels great to know that there are people who were once in my shoes and are now doing alright.
I'm not a very competitive person. Is philosophy that hard? All I know is that you learn the history of philosophy and how to write arguments. I'm honestly unable to judge whether or not I'd be able to keep up with everything, yet alone be better than other students. But I like writing and I wouldn't mind putting real effort into it.
Also how do you measure being "good at philosophy"? Because I haven't read much up to this point. I'm familiar with some basic concepts and ideas but I'm far from well-educated.
Bottom line is that I'm honestly more concerned with my social life than my career. I've had zero friends for like 5 years, never had a gf either. I really am desperate for a sense of belonging and a social life. If I don't make some friends in college then I'm afraid I'll probably be lonely forever.

you guys are dumb lol just get a CLEET and then work as a security guard

u get paid to call the police if something bad happens

Why do I want to take the anger that I have against myself out on others so much? Ok so life is worthless and I want to kill myself. But my life isnt the only worthless one. I dont feel empathy for those better off then me.
I mean If Im gonna kill myself anyway why shouldnt I first kill as many others as I can?
First off therapy is very gay and Im not a shizo. It just seems super logical to me that If I wanna take out myself I should have no problem in killing others. Its just, I need to get a grip and actually do it you know

all a joke btw ^^

>>16151332
not all of it !!

>>16161034
Uh what would you gain from taking people with you exactly?

I'm in the same position. 26, high school drop out (finished it later via exams) , college drop out (twice). I've got some experience working in retail and waiting tables. That's it. In fall, I'm going to local trade school (2 year programme). If I manage to get a normal job from it and finally be able to afford my own place - good. Otherwise, I'm going to kill myself. Both of my lifelong good friends moved away and are starting families, while I'm stuck here in this circle of hell. I hope I make it because this cricle of guilt,shame, feeling useless and having no purpose is literally rotting my soul and I'm not going to be albe to take it much longer.

>>16161254
if that doesn't work out you can still wait for the revolution. It will come definitely.

>>16161034
What would make you feel less worthless anon?

>>16161166
It could be fun? I dont know. If Im killing myself it should at least be somewhat interesting for me. And I want attention. Man Im just fucked. Im just so angry all the time. I never get sad only angry, so obviously god wants me to kill something for him right?

Barring that. There has to be something that you want. Also just go to therapy, you're talking about how you're so "angry" you wanna kill yourself. You're not schizo but you have some shit you need to sort out.

>>16161034
>>16161308
You should start praying and go to Church. By the way killing yourself and others will just force you to return to Earth and live a shitty life which ends in your murder

>implying you aren't a pussy
Many people are drowning in hatred. Hatred for what, in your case?

>>16161396
>implying you aren't a pussy
Guess going to therapy would be me finally admitting it.
>Hatred for what, in your case?
Im mad that I am not loving, caring, open minded, intellectual and interesting. I hate what I should be and I hate what I will become If I stay myself. I love my hatred I dont want to let go of it, its the only thing making me special. I think a special moment with my anger could at least change my life. Not for the better obviously. Im so fucking stupid

Doesn't matter, these things are for low immature people who think life is meaningless unless someone much like their dad is telling them what to do.

The problem is that it's a age of relatice unprecedented hyperabundance and there is actually no need or use for mindless drones any more. If you don't take a job someone else gets one and the vast majority of people aren't even capable of learning a skill that would actually set them apart from any other random nobody. People having to get credentials in the form of degrees to provide a service or boon, is something that actually hinders people who have potential to be actually useful.

Take the CS classes. Even if you don't want to make a career of it, IT jobs will never run out for you. It'll give you more energy too to do your side projects than some horrible retail job where you're on your feet dealing with the most entitled wannabe tyrants. The pic you used is no joke, I used to work at a movie theater and it drained the life out of me. It's not the allure of beer and shitty foods, but the abject frustration and exhaustion around it.

You can still take any philosophy, literature or history that interests you and maybe do a double major. Even if it takes a few extra semesters, you'll want a machete when you're in the jungle.

t. 25 and no marketable skills

I cannot talk for the other anons but in my country university is kicking you fast if you don't pass the exams after the 2nd or 3rd try and unless you don't take a social-science-humanities subject like STEM, business, law, etc., you will have to invest time and energy to pass the exams.20-50% are being filtered out in engineering for example.
From my high-school class about 30-60% of the guys dropped out at least once.
Me too, so I chose a social science where you effectively cannot fail unless you deliver a plagiate.

Don't do it anon. Your family loves you. Do anything except suicide, I know it feels like there are no options or ways out right now but there are. In the future you won't be able to relate to how you are feeling now. I know because I was there once. What helped for me was therapy and shamelessly hitting up everyone I knew.

>>16157061
Are you sure you're doing it correctly? Have you read Suicide and Attempted Suicide by Geo Stone? I recommend it, you can find it on liben

>>16152471
I'm quite looking forward to it, honestly. Sweet release from all of this nonsense.

Came here to post this. Dont pay your loans its all bullshit and the worst they’ll do is all you all the time

>>16150344
>>16150329
same altho do have bachelors in engineering but like 50k debt. i just dont wanna work it sounds lame to be honest

>>16162555
>the worst they’ll do is all you all the time
What?

>>16162566
Sorry im half paying attention Im watching a movie, worst they’ll do is call you all the time is what I meant

>>16159735
pissing you off

>>16162555
>>16154846
i agree somewhat altho they can and will garnish your wages altho if you arent making wages they cant garnish nothing. eventually, maybe, they will give you some sort of deal to pay it off for cheap if they really think they're never gonna see a penny of it unless they do

>>16162580
anon nobody that has been in a university is pissed off by a guy with a phd. everyone here that knows what its like feels more bad for him than OP

>>16162595
They cant garnish SSI and if you qualify for SSDI you can file for permanent disability discharge anyways.

>>16162595
If you file for bankruptcy it instantly halts all garnishment action.

>>16162595
Personally garnished wages dont mean much to me since I think ill be fine living with low money since besides books I dont really buy anything I dont need. Eventually they take the hint like you said and either cut the bill in half or keep lowering your payments which is all that matters, they can fuck themselves and their fake ass debt

>>16162611
>>16162603
this is for federal only? do these apply to private as well?

>>16162635
indeed monsieur, im glad the loans-are-effectively-free-money-depending-on-your-lifestyle pill is catching on

>got a certificate for a skill like the boomers told me to
>All entry level jobs in the field require a minimum of two years of experience and extensive knowledge
>All the unpaid internships want a bachelors degree as a minimum requirement
Can boomers please just retire already. I'm literally offering to work for free to gain experience and I still can't get a position. I was at the top of my class and was told constantly that it'd be easy to find a job after I finished

which mental illness should i fake to get disability. first dubs chooses or best non-dubs if not enough replies

>>16159684
I think it’s going to be an increasingly normal thing as the post 9/11 generation increasingly enters adulthood. There’s a lot more uncertainty about the worth of post secondary education, along with a simultaneous distaste for the kind of lifestyles that more blue collar type work entails. There’s going to be a lot of kids stuck in the middle, and with wages and housing prices the way they are, I’m thinking it’s going to be increasingly more common for 20 somethings to just turtle up in their parent’s house and coast by.

There’s also a new emerging class of attractive people creating a social media industry based on their looks and social capital. This has always existed to some extent, but with platforms more accessible and democratized than ever, it’s going to get bigger and bigger with every year.

Not to sound like a reactionary, but that rat utopia experiment scares me more with every day that passes.

>>16162720
They seem to diagnose autism or aspergers very easily, it kind of is a bullshit diagnosis too.

>>16162666
You got that damn right Satan. Although I understand its not for everyone and we’re just lucky/smart enough to not live like consoomers. This pill is damn near impossible to give others

>>16162838
>Satan
was this one of 4chans word filters? which word was it? i havent seen it before

>>16162720
It didn't take much for me to be diagnosed with clinical depression, so if your state awards disability for that, it probably wouldn't be hard

>>16150329
Anyone else a 20something about to enter academia and dreading it because they are a social conservative

>laugh at the losers in these type of threads when I was younger
>years later I'm them

lol americans are so fucked

I can't imagine being tens of thousands of dollars in debt because of school lmfao. I mean my life sucks but jesus christ you will spend years escaping that and most of you are saying you cant even get good jobs.

>>16162851
Im just saying that because of the based 666 my fren

>>16162940
Thats why a lot of people either take the NEET path or get the fuck out of here this place is a dead end in a lot of aspects

>>16162940
School is a massive scam in America right now. With covid cancelling many in person classes, you're not even getting the "college experience" that people typically pay for. Everyone is going 50-200k in debt for a degree that doesn't even guarantee a job anymore. The education bubble is definitely about to burst

>>16162940
t. midwit that doesn't cheat the system
I maximized my loans on purpose and never have and never will pay a cent back.

44, never made more than minimum wage. BA, MA English Lit (highest grades, elite university), many NEET years in my shameful youth, many years temping in banks, data entry; now an English teacher living in an Italian monastery, I drink and play old computer games and read when I can be bothered, owe the bank 10k, student loans a few grand, more to friends, no prospect of ever earning more than rent + booze costs but the monastery is comfy and the job is much better than data entry.

Any literature about being unemployed and alone for 10 years? Asking for a friend.

>>16162650
Private loans cant be garnished from any SS income so it doesn't matter and besides bankruptcy should discharge them if you're permanently disabled.

>>16162720
Depression or autism.

>>16162993
Excuse me sir, its for you.

>>16162864
Academia is more conservative than the memes make you think. Probably about 25% conservative which is good and higher than the demographic of conservative students.

>>16162720
Depression is really fucking easy and any anon here can probably pull it off if they aren’t already depressed. Schizo is another good one because depending how much shit you know and your behavior you’re already a schizo in the eyes of normies anyway. Otherwise go with autism its a classic

>>16150344
Become a pornstar and slay bitches for a living.

>>16162864
>about to enter academia
Good fucking luck anon

>>16162994
who is this? do we kno u? are u a named fag? ultra based. how did u get to the monastery?

>>16162941
o shit i didnt even notice, thanks for the check

>>16163028
Really just depends on what field you're going into. STEM is probably mostly liberals with a hat rack full of vintage fedoras

>>16163006
confederacy of dunces

>>16162838
File for bankruptcy immediately if you're unironically being garnished.

>>16163082
not that anon but is it seriously that easy? you take a loan, if they try to forcefully take money you just fucking file for bankruptcy and they cant anymore? and the only disadvantage is you cant borrow money anymore, and its harder to find a place to rent? thats it?

>>16163064
no one important
old monasteries have a lot of empty rooms, a student of mine asked a monk she knew if I could stay here and he said yeah why not.

>>16163115
thats awesome anon, sweet and godspeed

>>16162561
pretty much this, except i'm too socially retarded to pass an interview so use "i just dont wanna work it sounds lame to be honest" as cope

>>16163109
Yes and protract it as long as possible. If you don't own your own house, it makes more sense to seek public housing than to rent, as it's free in most areas. The limits for individuals is $50k but you can claim a GF that doesn't work without any proof of her existence to increase this threshold. If they send a social worker, tell them you broke up. Public housing is the literal projects so be aware. All things considered, still better than being a rent cuck donating $1000 a month and getting nothing in return.

>>16163300
Search your city + public housing or search your county + public housing to see the specific details.

Also, for NEETS who need immediate relief right now, you can qualify for food stamps. Search your state + SNAP and most will have an online application that's easier than filing for a job. If you are 23 and older, you qualify as your own person so questions related to household income include only you, NOT your parents. So for many of you, that will all be $0s. You'll get a card in the mail with $200 to spend at the grocery store and it gets reloaded every month. Seems like a small sum but this was big money when I was a NEET and destitute.

>>16163300
Was the original anon but yeah this is what I originally heard too you just have to deal with really shitty housing in exchange for not paying for a loan that will never be paid off. I have plans to leave the country with a friend though so I dont give a shit

>>16163335
No, you can still rent. Most will require a security deposit as collateral in the absence of good credit. I'm just saying you shouldn't period because that's just pissing away $1000 a month.

what's worse (in a social sense), living with your parents or not having a job?

>>16163042
They make you get fucked in the ass by fat dudes when you start. You have to earn the ladies through being used as one

>>16160371
If your academia plan fails, you could always become a patent draftsman if your command of English is sufficient. It's a remunerative, if not dry, way of making a living.

>>16163428
Not having a job.

>>16163428
the former

>>16157061
Wait. No matter how fucked a situation you're in things can always get better. At least wait. Don't end it like this. There is much more to life than you can see right now. You'll be happy someday, but only if you are alive.

>>16157061
If you want to die thats fine but dont be such a fucking pussy, go out in a bang or doing something cool or good not being a bitch and making your parents live with that you ungrateful fuck

>>16152471
I daydream about dying so I won't have to wage slave for the next 35 years. Desiring death is a good way to overcome one's fear of it.

>>16157061
Most suicide methods have a high chance of failure. You need redundancy. Set up your own Final Destination scenario.

It's been over 2 years since I graduated and I still couldn't find an engineering job, with corona-virus, and my lack of experience I'm just about ready to give up on everything I wanted to do before.
Unfortunately I just got a job, but it sucks complete ass, it's way more work than it's worth, way way way more work. Plus it's still not in my field and it's only been 2 months so it would be a waste to even mention it on my resume.

I'm stuck in a third world country because it's where my family is so I'm stuck at third world wages which even at what should be a decent starting salary is below line in the US. If I was back there, right now at least, I'd be making almost 4 times as much money doing nothing on unemployment than I make in a month of work here.

>>16163808
What country? Also, America is rapidly turning into a third world nation so don't be too jealous.

>>16163837
trinidad

24, virgin, work 12 hours a day for a high ranking minister in my country for a cucked government

no debt though so that's ok
