All of my ambitions have been destroyed career-wise.

Music? Art? Since everyone wants to do it, it's low-paid and competitive.

Math, philosophy, or some other academic work? Same as above. You have to be autistically devoted to your subject for your entire career and you have to deal with bureaucratic bullshit.

Programming? Computer science? Turns out the work is soul-sucking and you have to be around awkward nerds every day.

At this point I think I will just settle on being a code monkey because it pays a ton of money, and I can delude myself into thinking that I could get one of those fun jobs.

Fuck capitalism.

I have become increasingly interested in the thought process and lives of serial killers and mass murderers. The reasons behind their cruelty and actions fascinates me. What scares me is in some of their writings I agree with them, I originally thought my capability for violence is low. After thinking about it, I scare myself at the things I would be willing to do under the circumstances.

i sometimes pretend to care about feet, farts or 'thicc' women for memetic purposes without actually subscribing to the preference in question.

i also like to remind people who get mad about anime that this is an anime site even though i don't care about anime at all.

i also like to take up multiple sides of the political spectrum, sometimes at the same time and sometimes even in the same thread.

the NSA must either think that i have multiple personality disorder, or that my apartment (i don't actually live in an apartment) contains a magnitude of shitposting neckbeards of wildly varying preferences and ideologies. while in reality i'm actually just autistic (i'm not, i'm actually schizoid) and having fun (although sometimes i carry out these behaviours with a 'neutral' facial expression and a relatively calm emotional state).

It's so cold, like that chicken I bought yesterday, lifeless piece of meat. But its my grandmas leg, it is still attached to her, part of a human being, part of her. But it feels dead, bad blood flow, part of getting old, inevitability of life, fucking cold limbs. Her eyes still open, still looking around, more and more detached everyday, empty like a newborns, on a wrinkly excuse of a human. Life pouring away one drop a day. I hate touching it, Her feet became a bloody mess, nails are hurting Her toes, cold blood on my hands, must change patch. Expression of physical pain twists her sour face, the only emotion left to her, judges me, im really doing best I can. What for, so when she evenrtually dies, we can pat our backs and say we did everything to acomodate her? So we can have a couple of months of her agony to witness. "If we put her in a senior home she will be dead within weeks, I saw that on tv!". No those are skilled profesionals, it could have ease her pain. If they would kill her She would thank us for it. Time to change her diaper.

If there is anything that Jordan Peterson that I agree with, it's that everyone is capable of evil. Serial killers and the like do what they do because they are capable of empathy; they take great pleasure in causing suffering in other people, taking away their hopes and dreams, etc. All you can do is look at such acts and tell yourself "that's pretty fucked up," even if a tiny, tiny part of you understands why they did it. Myself, I try to stay distracted from that uneasy feeling by turning my attention to the positive things in life.

I wonder a lot about Thomas Ligotti's sex life. Certainly now that he's pushing his advanced years, crippled by infirmity and gastric distress, his libido must be all but shriveled and dead. But what about twenty years ago? Thirty?

Particularly in his Nyctalops trilogy, he writes at length about obsessive, predatory relationships with women. Prostitution and repressed sexuality feature, albeit in subtle incarnations, in other of his stories. It's odd to me that no one has ever remarked on this - at least not in a journalistic sense.

Ligotti may present himself as dry, sardonic and almost academic in his pessimism, but he's still human after all, and the wilder qualities of the human spirit have a way of creeping in around the edges of his writing.

Anyway, it's something I think a lot about. I wish I had someone to talk to about it.

his discussion about looking inwards for capable evil was what i was referring to when i searched myself.

(A bit like Queen Victoria's attitude when she was presented with a bill outlawing homosexuality and lesbianism.

Yeah, it took a while since of course when you start you have no reviews, but keep your prices low and conduct yourself well. Complete orders, earn reviews, and as you gain more reviews more people will be likely to give you a try. I'm at a point now where I'm making over $50 each month, and I have a funny feeling that $100 orders will be becoming more common for me and even more expensive orders will be coming my way as well. Looking forward to my first $150 one. It's great supplemental income, I'm doing what I love, it's extra experience, meeting potential repeat customers to make more money from them down the road by giving them the best product I possibly can...

He's not wrong but he's rather naive in thinking there's a shadow cabal of 1% people keeping us down with their pointless job agenda. This something political activists have a hard time accepting: no one person or party is to blame for our current predicament. Yet time and again, we feel the need to delegate blame and allow our discontent to be co-opted by institutions that stand to gain from our confusion. It's a trap we created for ourselves and it's so elaborate and nonsensical in its design that I don't think anyone can ever be free from it.

Some weeks ago, I saw a thread on /ic/ asking why Japanese artists have a certain style to their drawings that Westerners can't recreate. A few people scolded the OP; Told him that skilled illustrators can recreate them flawlessly, and to stop buying into a fantasy that they know something we don't. That last bit, to me, is fascinating. When I was a kid first discovering the internet, looking up pictures of Japan and Korea, a curious thought occurred to me: They've figured it out. Everything was perfect, and filled one with a tremendous sense of beauty and melancholy. In those tired alleys and vast rice fields, there seemed to be a trace of the mystery of life itself. Yet the people who plan those alleys and work those fields are just like you and me. And the streets of European cities inspired a similar awe in me as well. While these things are guided by mankind to a large degree, the most captivating part of this is that it had to exist in nature before us so that we could discover it. Take the checkerboard pattern, for instance. I can't speak for others, but it has that mysterious sense to me as well. We use it for board games and as decoration, but its existence predates all of this, and no one knows why. And on rare occasions, when I find some incredible piece of art, I do not think "Look at what they've made!", but rather "Look at what they've found!". That all of our grand questions about the nature of life remain unsolved is almost endearing to me. How in this chaotic universe things come to make sense here and fall apart there is thrilling.

I'm not high or anything. It's just neat to think about this stuff every once in a while.

I'm a footfag too and I'm sexually attracted to the particulars of them, but I also think they just look aesthetically pleasing in the context of the whole body. The human form would be tragically incomplete without them.

It's funny though. I'm very picky. Some feet, when they are soft, nicely shaped, comely, sensitive and attached to a beautiful person can seem almost divinely perfect to me - but others, when marred by abjection, crudeness or uncleanliness revolt me. It's an incredibly fragile balance.

A girl came up to me in the study area and asked if she could tell me jokes and have me rate them on a scale of 1-5 and I was in severe psychic pain as she told me the jokes, and then another dude was next to me later and she asked him and he went BWA, HA HA HA I RATE THAT JOKE A 5 ;-) HEHEHE LIFE IS GOOD and I realized I am not living the same life as normies

This situation epitomizes a type of situation that constantly recurs in my life, where I hate something that everybody else likes and they accuse me of somehow FORCING myself to dislike it, of scowling and saying bah humbug and gritting my teeth when the funny Avengers Joss Whedon dialog happens so that I don't even crack a smile. Like the thing is objectively funny and there is nothing wrong with laughing at it just because it's frivolous or inane! I'm just being a spoilsport!

But it's genuinely not that. I've never forced anything. Those jokes sucked fucking dick. I wasn't scowling at her or waiting to pounce on her for not being a genius comedian. I was just in pain because the jokes sucked. I expected that other guy to be like me with slightly less blunted affect, to be more open to chuckling lightheartedly and going "Ha ha ha. I guess that one's a 4, because it sure made me chuckle!" I expected him to be about as amused as I was, but less bitter about the aftermath. No, he liked the joke. He actually liked it. I can't ever do what he did in that moment, which is actually find the joke's content to be surprising and good. Would flooding my brain with some kind of SSRI make me laugh more at a terrible joke whose punchline was obvious from the setup? Would walking around self-loathing about how I'm a scowling scrooge because I don't like Joss Whedon machine-generated dialog finally twist my brain around until I can enjoy it, when other people just enjoy it right away without effort because they simply, actually enjoy it?

There doesn't need to be super good content or jokes. They are just that happy to be chattin' with some person they know.

I'm a first year PhD student in a top 10 university in a field of biology. It's a massive step up from what has been expected of me in my life so far, and the stress, while not great is manageable. I'm making considerably below minimum wage.

Even though the program is only 3 years, and I can jump ship to industry for megabux as soon as I'm done, I still feel like I'm wasting my time on some level. Everyone I know who didn't go for an advanced degree is making great money in the private sector, and here I am with no friends in another country working a job I don't like for essentially no money. It's not that I'm unhappy, I like the solitude as it lets me focus on my personal interests when I have free time, but the lack of friends is getting to me. I used to make a lot of friends wherever I went, but at some point along the line something changed, I didn't have the enthusiasm or energy for it anymore. It bothers me a little that I've changed in this way.

I just want to make enough money to buy some property or some other form of passive income so I can live out my days in peace and quiet.

>Describe a depressive episode
At first it’s a black fog of frustration and disorder, occasionally pierced by pangs of extreme self-disgust. You’re itchy, you’re confused, you’re distracted, you’re bored. You repeat the same tired behaviors your meat forever demands from you—feed, shower, shit, jerk off, entertainment. Your head is rotting away and everybody smells it. You smell it. It makes you sick. You hate yourself, virulently hate yourself, and want so desperately for the thoughts to stop. Maybe you even begin to consider methods, tools. How much does a shotgun cost? How does one actually go about obtaining a gun permit? You’ve read about people who misfire and fuck up the kill, so how do you make sure you do it right? Where and when would you do it, and who would discover the body? Somebody has to.

But it’s only another fantasy, and to struggle towards it is as useless as every other hurt you’ve endured up until now. Your cowardice wins out, like it always does, and gradually you enter the next and quieter stage. Your failing will ebbs away to oblivion. Calmly you extinguish your hopes (even of death), calmly you extinguish your self and its unfulfilled ambitions, vaguely glad to be putting these frivolities behind you. There is nothing to regret because there is nothing to want. There is no hot shame because there are no expectations for yourself. There is nothing to fear because Hell has already arrived. You are an insentient fleck of organic matter who exists to suffer, consume, and die. The fog doesn’t clear, but it grows so dense you are not even sure it’s there, and the itching stops. You are still. A kind of holy consciousness sweeps over you. You’re freed from life, freed from hope, your future, your past. You only are. One day you will not. One day soon, probably sooner than you expect.

You smile.

As it turns out all I want to do with math is what I wanted to do with art, study it as long as I can. So I turned to computer science. Now I am some software engineer and design stuff I could care less about. Some small consolation to this souless work is that I am not expected to work 60 hrs a week and so have a nice amount of free time.

This plays a role in the great number of suicides of the modern world, not out of shame or relief from torture like in history but out of a rejection of a life so comfortable and materialistically rewarding, the action, stemming from unnatural constraints placed on a reality we are no longer in control of. *Social isolation on such a mass scale is only possible because of societal guilt, we are shamed into working for something which has no intrinsic meaning to us, we can only be happy by being slaves to things to care for ourselves of family * the struggles presented to us in this post-industrial age are artificial they have no meaningful deep consequence for us besides absolution from societal guilt, the same guilt that perpetuates suicides and the epidemic of the mind. Prescribed mortality is the death of *right and wrong*it dampens our natural instincts of what right and wrong is, of course these feelings are molded by events in the individuals life but there are also right and wrongs that hold purpose, if we participate in incest our children will be deformed, this is a natural instinctive crime against nature, murder is not a crime against nature, it is who your murder, the functionality of the murder, the level of depravity and the negative or positive influence of the murder on the surroundings, the act is not by itself a crime against nature, we have more than enough people, it is a crime to the individual and if this murder affects the nature (be it society, outdoors, the accessibility of food) in a negative way then it is a true crime but likewise if the murder brings about positive effects and benefits those who were not benefitted before the murder if the culprit could perceive this justice or injustice before the action of murder is irrelevant. If one decides to do nothing but rely on welfare do not feel ashamed we are neutered and corporate welfare is not different.

second premise is predicated upon a stupid disposition, artists and many other types are not even human, what they have to say shouldn't bother you. Your conclusions are retarded, not even guaranteed by your premises but I do agree that artists are worthless and their complaining is always in poor taste, if even ugly and worthy of retaliatory humiliation for the trouble they cause your psyche.

I just had ANOTHER fucking dream where I'm this malignant, almost supernaturally evil serial killer. I never remember perpetrating the killings, but I'm haunted by the fact that I did them, the knowledge that people are hunting me, that it's swirling around me, and, in the end, I threw myself from a bridge and killed myself rather than let myself be caught. Instead of waking up, I felt myself die, and then, in the dream, I woke up, to the exact same scenario that had started the nightmare. In the dream, I scrambled, terrified that it was real after all, only to find out that no, it wasn't, but unable to shake that awful fear that the whole world would just suddenly twist, and I'd be living in a reality where, suddenly, inexplicably, I'd have killed before, and will kill again.

I hate these dreams. I don't want them. They're exhausting and terrible. I hate them. I hate them.

Há três dias eu vi algo lindo que, sinto eu, não esquecerei tão cedo; talvez passe o resto da vida (ou da juventude) rememorando todas as nuances do momento, tal como sou capaz agora. Trata-se de um suado e brilhante par de pernas levemente definidas, mas gordurosas na medida correta, Pandora delirada em Baco. Não-brancas, tudo bem, porém suadas, pegajosas sob o sol implicante das três da tarde. Há três metros de distância, uma ao lado da outra, andando juntinhas safadinhas e conversando sacanagens, calorentas compartilhando tão somente um shortinho jeans minúsculo (abençoada indumentária!). A cereja do bolo: estavam calçadas, calçadinhas num chinelo imundo e delicioso, com pezinhos operários que labutavam piedosamente para suster aqueles dois pedaços de carne suados-imponentes que chamavam-me à guerra; da minha parte, apanhado de surpresa, apenas admirei e guardei na memória. Ah, a vergonha de levantar tua lança Mirmídone e endurecer teu escudo Peleio mas enfim acompanhar de fora a fuga de corcel adversário! A adolescente estava de muleta, o que me leva a considerar a veracidade do momento - não estava eu delirando sob a tarde quente, pisando em poças de gotas recém-caídas de um céu azul limpo e acolhedor? E todos aqueles carros e movimentos e pedestres gordos e velhas? Não estava: foi real. Talvez viesse de uma consulta, talvez isto signifique: machuquei os joelhinhos e o doutor precisa analisar e passar as mãos e analisar muito bem estas pernas enfadonhas que doem tanto! Assim, a companhia da velha ganha sentido - bruxa que impede investidas e sequestros e acompanha a netinha à consulta. No entanto, há também outra possibilidade, e meu pênis lateja e arde e ameaça rasgar todo seu cativeiro só de ouvi-la sendo apenas preparada assim estudada e pronta para vir residir no inquérito: e o advogado proclama: “ela talvez seja deficiente!”. Aleijadinha!, realmente, seguiam de modo engraçado. Presa ferida fugindo e procurando desesperada compaixão no caos urbano, cambaleante encara às vezes o caçador sedento e compenetrado! Pernas não-brancas porém não-negras, pardas num tom meio asiático, matronas poderosas suarentas amparadas por fortes joelhos e muleta grossa e rija comprida e chinelinhos brancos não-limpos; poderia carregá-las apenas com meu falo, e assim dirigi-las à lua, gozar constelações de esperma sobre sua pele definida e banhar ejaculações de rios naqueles pezinhos coitados e delicados-piedosos, mortos de sede ao fim do dia portanto agora agraciados com meu leitinho. De volta à terra: elas viraram numa esquina e eu segui meus destinos agora importantes e significantes pois a vida é bela, uma beleza. Eu tenho dezenove anos anos eu tenho o mundo.

What's the point of living when you have a micropenis (8x4cm)? I honestly don't see one.
The only time I've ever been with a woman, when I pulled off my underwear she looked up at me and just burst out laughing (It's ~2cm flaccid) and said "That's it? What a pathetic excuse for a man."
Sure, I might have gotten a pity fuck, but I will never be able to know the pleasure and filling up a woman's vagina with my penis, feeling it push against her cervix as I thrust, stretching her walls to their very limits.
>But Anon, you're more than just a dick!
Fuck off, you have no idea of what it's like to look at every single other man around you and know that he has a larger penis than you, can pleasure a woman better than you, and is intrinsically more attractive to women because of that.

It astounds me how many people on this board love the current economic system. Even if you support capitalism abstractly, how can you not be against the markets being dominated by a handful of multinationals, a work culture that reduces man to his employment, widespread nepotism and corruption, etc. This isn't a beautiful world where all markets are in perfect competition and all you need to succeed is to work hard.

They treat me like shit and when I finally stop doing everything they tell me they have crocodile tears, and when I laugh in their face because I call their bullshit they have my dad hit me over the head with something. I'm not strong enough to overpower him yet and even if I do I think they'll make some fake domestic abuse case against me and get me in jail. I hate them so much I just want to move out, but I don't have enough money before I go to the school in the city which dorming is expensive as hell and my loan was already declined. Now I'm working just to go into class and eating their groceries for food.

I'm perpetually fascinated by my own self-awareness. (Or qualia, if you wish.) It's so extremely powerful. There's never been a moment since age 12 where I am hasn't been present, it's always me, the "sensation" was sprinkled regularly here and there pre-age-12, constant since. Whenever I perform a physical activity it slightly weakens; I feel this is related to my frequent insomnia and aversion to change—I want to stay, any change is a fracture in the chain of my sentience/a new piece of the chain. I only ever do anything when the impulse/need (like hunger and exhaustion) or necessity demands it, and it now becomes my "will". And my overwhelming episodic memory.
Not even going into "mental time travel", god damn.

Wow, you truly are an ambitious person since you aren't willing to compete.

think my dad is going to die soon so I wrote this poem

The Father

pages, in some sleepy man's will
written, and evenly recieved to an early sun's birth,
many left to stand aside, and re-examine
drab, retired words
yet to explain themselves
without him they'd recede and wince
like a wound crying to itself
they convene in a mass around his bed
to twist his arms and pull at his mouth
asking him
to denounce all inconsistencies
they see him as armature, now
to build an explicit truth
but he knows his body,
better than those words he wrote
when he was a younger man

I'm literally autistic and my life is pretty horrible. My diet for the past few months has been 100% fast food, often the same meal from the same chain lunch and dinner for weeks on end. I don't understand why I behave the way I do, and I don't know how to change it. I know that every decision I'm making is a bad one, and I've even laid out in neatly organized paragraphs and bulleted lists exactly what I should be doing with my life, and what would make me happier, and I'm never able to follow through on it.

I took some LSD about a year ago, and had a pretty bad trip. My long term memory isn't that great, so I honestly can't tell if that experience put me into this funk, or if I've always been this way, but never acutely aware of it. I'm extremely unhealthy, my social skills are awful, I'm in a new town with no friends, and I have decently sized student loan debt that will probably take a few years to pay off.

I'm not depressed, just disappointed with myself.

You probably just haven't yet realised that you were addicted to narratives before, that you used narratives even about science to explain the world to yourself, that you in fact were only a conduit for information that you didn't grasp beyond an emotional attachment to scientific arguments.

You should read some Cesar Aira.

And your embrace is not much different than before, unless you cannot still defend atheism...you're probably only connected to the feeling which you get from these subjects, you're probably being embraced by an animal need for play, an unburdening of your adult/rational personae to a state of childhood awe, awe being an explosion of reason, a wonder terror delight in the possible that your mind makes possible through belief, but a belief that is irrational...you can understand this as a moment you decided to imagine what it would be like to have faith, and you do so as a child does, being taken away into the momentary joy of something without self-consciousness.

Playing out the suspension of reason in this way can be an empathetic response to the environment, a mirror-neuron response to the totality of signs...being a dark and stormy night...or, a ghost that gives a mountain a presence, always behind you in the spruce.

I'd start with the addiction to narrative explanations for the state of the world and then move on to saying, "I'm OK with not knowing how the world works, and you can't force me to learn math." Then become humble and bow your head, maybe mumble something about a disturbance you have just felt, the feeling before an occurrence that cannot be explained until what occurs occurs.
"What did you say?" They'll ask.
"I'm sure it's nothing, I just get these premonitions sometimes that I think are true in the moment and then when they actually occur I become suspicious, I don't know if to believe or not what I had felt was connected."
"You're making a constellation between memory and ego."
"I know it's bullshit. I just find it weird that I even have that feeling, you know?"
"That you're full of shit and you believe your own shit cause you like the smell, you're probably a shit eater, or a fart sniffer at the very least."

Like every Sunday, the young Riemann went to Snickers (coffee shop) to read about new developments in stochastic processes, a casual pursuit of his. Having spread his papers all over the empty wooden table in a well lit corner of the ship, he couldn't help but hear that Leonie was there too. It shouldn't have been that much of a surprise, given the math department was straight around the corner, but Riemann just didn't take her for a coffee gal. She and her mater were getting louder and soon swear word fueled anxiety was governing the room. To be sure, nobody could overhear the discussion she was heaving with her mates, even when in a classroom. Today they were fighting about the right definition of a graph. As always, Leonie took the stance that you should define all object without any reference to sets. Or any notion of sets. Riemann was interested in the discussion a such, but still bothered by the fact that his sanctuary - the only place where he could hit on girls while at the same time bringing his Greeks to paper - was overtaken by the intellectual barbarians he had to endure the whole week. When he found he was starting the same page for the fourth time, he decided to stand up and go over. Five minutes after the decision he actually stood up. One minute later, he took the first step in Lenoie's direction. He was a bit puzzled what his mouth would come up with, how he'd stop these loud folks from ruining his calm but caffeinated math experience.

I disguise my lack of ambition and accomplishments in life with a veneer of elevated indifference, and I'm always anxious about whether people can see through this charade. I also haven't cleaned my room in years and I think about killing myself way too often. It seems to me the only way to live in this world is to make yourself numb to it, and so I try not to be consciously present too often. This works fine for the most part, until it all hits you at once the form of panic/anxiety attacks. The only thing I really enjoy anymore is sleeping because it lets me dream.

I can't decide between wanting to read and understand the western canon in its entirety, or spending the rest of my life watching anime and playing vidya. I feel too fragmented to just pick a direction and go with it, and anything I find that I enjoy will soon lose its appeal to me. I find it hard to truly be subsumed by any one activity, to either be ''in the zone'' when it comes to physical/practical activities, or to feel the full effects of escapism.

For example, maybe I'd love to read x comic as a kid. Now when I do that, I'm just going through the motions in a fruitless pursuit of trying to recapture whatever positive feelings I have associated with it. My mind is always racing and thinking about other shit, and so I'm never truly enjoying what I'm doing in the moment, but instead I'm planning the life ahead of me. I tell myself that if I can do x, y, and z, then I can finally start enjoying this or that, but I consciously know that this is just a coping mechanism, and that whatever goal I've set up for myself will just morph into something else and that reaching a state of, not happiness, but a state of being generally content with life that I know I used to be in, will require something else. Something else which I'm not sure of.

So the two options you give yourself are both just consumption of different media? Are there no further ambitions you have?

Your goals and your explanations all hinge on your mind, your consciousness, feelings and associations. You also have a body. You have legs to go and see places. Are you not worried about the fact that you have developed such a grand desire to escape that all you can imagine yourself doing is sleeping (dreaming) or forgetting yourself over anime, vidya, literature etc.?

In that case, you're making yourself half a human being, and you're putting a weight on your mind that it can't shoulder. It can not give you escape from the real world. You can not investigate your ambitions, the reasons for your anxiety and charade any further.

>Are you not worried about the fact that you have developed such a grand desire to escape that all you can imagine yourself doing is sleeping (dreaming) or forgetting yourself over anime, vidya, literature etc.?
I am, but I'm not sure of what else I could do. I'm too timid to go out of my comfort zone, and I'm too autistic to do things without a clear plan and motivation, so I only do things I know I've enjoyed in the past.

Recently I've become obsessed with the idea of developing good habits, so I plan my entire week ahead of time. I know exactly what I will eat at any given time, what I will do during my commute, during lunch etc., and it's all quite organized. I imagine the very planned life of a wage slave in some life affirming indie film as described by the narrator: ''Robert woke up at exactly 6:15 like he did every morning, ate the same eggs and bacon he did every morning at 6:30. On the bus he read about the french revolution, the topic he'd set out to learn about this week. When he came home he watched an episode of his favourite british panel show while enjoying his rice and steamed vegetables with fried pork before doing the dishes. After doing some light exercise and planning for tomorrow, it was lights out at exactly 22:15.'' The difference being I'm not hoping for some mpdg to teach me how to be spontaneous and enjoy the whimsy and wonder that life has to offer, but rather I have a hope that if I can force myself to live by a plan, and that life will go on without any hiccups or major episodes. I'll learn to enjoy it, and once I'm over the threshold, I'll have achieved some sort of equilibrium where I can enjoy the small things in life without any risk or adventure.

Self-improvement takes hard work and dedication, its not just reading for an hour a day. Its something like learning a language, learning an instrument, keeping a strict workout schedule. You have a goal in mind that you stick to, and do not stop until you complete it.

A big part of self-improvement is to have the willingness to let parts of ourselves die so that we can replace it with something better. Seek truth, and speak nothing BUT truth. Don't lie. So, what do you want to improve? If you happen to be a NEET and you don't want to be anymore then you need at least one of three things; education, employment, or training. For professional education you need money, and for professional training you need money, so do you have money? If not, you need employment. Do you have any job experience? If not, then you're going to want basically whatever is available. Get out there and get a job at a fast-food joint. Chances are you'll find it to be one of two things; either it'll suck, or if you end up with good co-workers and a good manager then you might actually enjoy it while you're learning all the responsibilities and making money but in time you'll likely find it boring and monotonous unless you happen to be someone who just doesn't need things to be different. Perhaps you're perfectly fine with things staying the same as long as you keep getting paid, and if you do a good job for a few months then you can request a promotion.

If you're refused, then your employer is perfectly fine to replace you with someone new should you decide to leave. That means you haven't done a good enough job or the restaurant owner is SO tight on funds that they simply cannot afford to pay you more. If it's the first reason, work harder and prove that it's in their best interest to keep you instead of to get someone new and to train them. If it's the second reason, well you should be looking for another job anyways because that job likely isn't going to be there for much longer, and even if it is, you won't be gaining anything by sticking around so stay on good terms with your manager, make sure they'll be a good reference when you're done, and with several months or over a year on your resume with the same employer then other potential employers will see that favourably.

So figure out what your goal is and go for it. Improve your life one step at a time. In North America we've all got something like a 40% chance of being in the top 10% richest people for at least one year of our lives, and we've all got something like a 10% chance of being in the top 1% for at least one year of our lives. I'm working hard for my shot at a comfortable life. I don't need to get even CLOSE to 10% to be comfortable, but with my work ethic and determination I'd be surprised if I never make it to that 10% mark, which is probably merely reaching 6-figures a year. $8500 a month or so. There are people self-publishing books who make more than that. Not many, but there are some.
