DESU this, even tho I'm on my 4th year of NEETdom.
When I had a job I was much more productive. After 3 or so months of NEETdom I kinda just fell into the excuse of "I have so much time I can start tomorrow", then 3 years passed with me doing basically nothing but playing games and browsing internet.

Alas, the problem with neethood is that all that unstructured time appears to be marred by the laws of scarcity. Back when I didn't have anything to do all day the time available to me wasn't quite as valuable as it should have been. Time slopped over and drift settled in.

Happened to me to a lesser extent when I was continuing NEET life when at university. I went there twice, for exams only, but never was sure when I was going to get kicked out, and the lack of clear deadline made me slack a lot.

My time in a mental hospital was awful. Impossible to sleep because nurses wake you up every fifteen minutes to do room checks. Drug addicts following me around and throwing open my room door because they're bored. Bipolar nutjobs throwing tantrums over whether to watch South Park on Comedy Central or the Hitman movie on FX. Schizophrenic roommate muttering to himself all night long. Nurses reporting to the psychiatrist my "concerning behavior" of sitting in my room alone trying to read Bleak House. Drug addicts pulling the fire alarm five times in one day. Shit food. Iranian guy screaming at the top of his lungs in the lunchroom that one of these days somebody is going to shoot up a nearby mall's food court. Same Iranian guy asking the illiterate Hispanic orderlies if they're Jewish because they didn't give him an extra slice of pie. Drug addicts bursting into my room to barf in the adjoining bathroom's toilet. I could go on.

know that feel my man. they gave me fucking tavor when I got admitted, only I didn't fucking know what tavor was, but apparently it's worse than fucking heroin and I was not in a locked wing, so I don't know why the fuck they were giving me that shit on the first fucking day. So then I stopped being able to draw, or write, or sit up right, and then I refused to take it, which meant that I was going through the worst withdrawals of my life, and literally losing my mind on top of being in a depressive. Every person I roomed with snored like they were trying to set a world record to the point that I ended up dragging my shit out to the common room and just nesting down.
"you can't sleep here," the night nurse says. "cool," I say, and go back to sleep. The next day, my roommate, the most annoying on the planet, with the weasliest fucking voice ever conceived shuffles up to me and start WHINING: "it's not my fault! I can't help it! I can't help snoring!" I look em dead in the eye and say "me fucking either." then I get a new room, finally, except two days later they want to move me BACK INTO MY OLD ROOM. I refuse. They're still on my ass about the tavor, I'm still losing my mind. My bones are vibrating. I want to eat my own skull. I make a stuffed fish, except I start crying. "IT LOOKS LIKE A PENIS!" I sob, helplessly. Everyone starts laughing. This is the end of november, by the way, shortly after my birthday. Apparently, what I didn't know, is that EVERY. SINGLE. DOCTOR. is on vacation until january. I'm taking time off of school.
After three weeks I'm finally discharged from the catchall admission wing, into the ACTUAL wing I'm supposed to be in. It's winter. I fucking hate snow. My bones are still vibrating.

yes. i spent some years working in finance, not that appealing but not some menial or strictly repetitive and blatantly soul-destroying job. only thing i could do after was read, occasionally play a sport. not even the energy to lift more than once a week, even though id been doing it regularly since freshman football. not that reading a hundred pages each night in a tired and motionless state and never knowing exactly when i fell asleep was unpleasant, it was necessary and soothing and a soul massage that i don't and can't experience now that there's no daily damage to heal. but it was such an unvaried mental life, so different than being a child, and without all those sticky, occupying handholds you swing between as a student and an athlete and a worker during summers.

im by no means a productive neet but my reading / exercise / eating habits / time spent in nature have exploded in these now years of neetdom. of course i waste more time too, there's more time to waste, would be nice not to, any tips.

we get that superproductive people are generally doing better than us neets, big surprise there, they have or have honed more capability, but that doesnt meant all neets can and should be jobbed to max their own happiness.

i do think the nineteen year old neets should school and work, especially if miserable. get on the ride, you can always get off. who weven withdraws that early, you should still be streaking along on parent-propulsed momentum at that point.

I'm a wagecuck. I'm just as miserable as when I was a NEET, but now I have money, and feel like slightly less of a loser. I'd happily trade it all in for the free time I had for learning and self-improvement during my NEET years, but I'm well past the point where that's a possibility. My parents wouldn't cope if I just dropped out of the rat race and retracted back into my room to read the classics again, and they're the only people whose feelings I truly value. I'm too much of a brainlet to do anything STEM related, so I'm pretty much doomed to a life of nondescript minimum wage mediocrity. Better never to have been.

Problem is many cannot, thats why wage goes with cuck. You are not working because you chose to but because you have to, that because you are cucked.

Work of the wagecuck is the type of work NEETS insult, not the rare symbolic work of a trust fund baby who has 10 million in bank but writes at the local journal as a "job" nor the retired dude who has 1-2 mil in bank but occasionally takes freelance jobs for ""fun""".

A wagecuck is someone who does shit they hate, for no respect just for the paycheck, because they believed the trash propaganda that "you need to work to be happy". Usually in a big office, in a low position.

Depending on where you live, wage cuckery makes somewhat sense because you're actively supporting people who are too sick or too old to work, with your taxes and feeding into universal healthcare etc. You get something important back, eventually, but in the states? Fuck it. Be a NEET. The government blows your taxes on bullshit and kiddie porn so who gives a shit? Fight the man.

[Anonymous No.11319982]

>>11319960
I humbly beg to differ good sir.
A wagecuck can be a corporate man in a high position with a high sallary. But if his sallary goes to his divorced wives alimony, his old sons college, his young daugthers "private" lessons. If he can only live in a shitty apartment than he is also a cuck.

Suppose this same corporate man have none of these things. He is a bachelor with no burden at all. Even then it would not be a good trade! He would tire himself, overwork and would trade time for money, to buy things he doesn't need nor use. While a neet has something which he lacks, ample amounts of time where he can spend it as he wish. One should have 3k and 20 days of holiday in a month, rather than 20k(which would put you in top %18 in household income by the way) and working 6 days a week, over 10 hours.

Of course neetdom has his problems, you might need cash to survive, to eat, to have medical there and have to cuck yourself. Thats why trustfund neetdom or inheritence neetdom is the optimal state a neet can every ask

That was me from ages 18 to 20. It's just bizarre. I ascribe it to lack of purpose. In North America, at least, the whole NEET trend among the 4chan demographic (white twenty-something males) seems to have its origins in a complete lack of purpose due to the decadence of growing up in a middle class household where you were told to be a kid and follow your dreams.

I'm generally content with my life at the moment, but if I wasn't living at home I wonder if I wouldn't get bored enough to kill myself. It literally wouldn't impact the world in the slightest if I died - like, people would care, probably, but none of them depend on me for anything, and knowing that no one depends on me makes me feel listless. It's exactly how you describe it though - just a constant coma that only ends when the shame of judgement motivates you to do something.

[Anonymous No.11320597]

I think both sides are pointless but it depends on where you live and if you have any money. I have no wealth and live in second world in europe. You will die if you don't work and the work is usually either wage that you can't pay rent with so you need to own house or it is slightly above but still not enough and you need degree for it. If I could read philosophy all day I would be content but I was born a slave if you think about it. My only options are to slave for 12 hours a day and hope to not get sick enough to be under non existent bridge or be homeless and die fast as there is nothing you can do to recover and people are too poor so you would not get anything even if you begged. Only people with wealth or connections have mediocre lives here. Even medical doctors have just okay life, they have some free time and some money left but we can't build society on only few professions. I think life is meaningless living like this and I hope I die soon. Killing yourself is really hard if you can't get gun, gas or any other safe and good method. Maybe I will get hit by train I'm not decided yet.

Don't get discouraged, either. Before I went back to school, I applied for a crappy call center job that I ended up loving and they fired me out of nowhere (had me move desks and then let me go in the middle of the shift). I almost felt like just giving up at that point because it seemed like the universe was trying to tell me something, but one day I just thought that as long as I was staying in my comfort zone, I would be a NEET. I also recommend reading The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg. It explains how we sort of operate on a sense of inertia and doing the same thing over and over.

I've been a NEET long enough now that I just have gotten used to it. But I can't look my parents in the eye anymore and the thought of interacting with extended family is a horror.

The worst part is though I would like to go to school or get a job. Its almost impossible, I was socially anxious in school, now after isolating myself for 3+ years I've become even more schizoid and scared of interaction. The longer you go the more impossible it seems. I cant even have a job interview without being ashamed to look the interviewer in the eye, because I know what they're thinking. How can you possibly get out of the rut like this.

That's not the reason I'm leaving. Well, it's more specific than that. This place is a cave. It's a cave with every kind of negative influence leering out at you from the walls as you venture deeper. I won't know what lies at the bottom because I'm turning back now, but it can't be anything good. But when I do leave and exit out into the fresh air of the world, I will have to focus my resources on reacquainting myself with real life. If you're familiar with the theory of socialisation then you can understand how being exposed to racism, misogyny, extremism, etc can change your behaviour. It doesn't even have to be reinforce with evidence. Spend six months on /pol/ and laugh mockingly at every Jewish conspiracy thread, and your opinion of Jews will still be changed afterwards. Therefore I will be consuming liberal media and David Silverman film reviews until I socialise myself out of 4chan.

Currently working in a warehouse 9-12 hours a week (it varies a bit depending on when they need me) and taking classes from 1:30-5:30 from Monday to Friday.

I do miss the free time of my NEETdom a lot, but I was always a lot more depressed, anxious, and lonely as a NEET. I'm one of those people who start to worry about things if they have nothing to do, I guess, which sucks because I like to have a lot of time to delve into my hobbies. Of course my existence is still relatively cushy as I haven't become completely financially independent yet.

Waste of time and money (and the shrink will most certanly pump you full of drugs to mask the sources of your mental instability).
Do this instead at least for a month:
-eat healthy
-do cardio(walk, run ,etc)
-lift weights
-stop reading depressing stuff (at least for a while)
-take at least 15-20min of time in the sun
-socialize outside the internet (join a club,do charity work ,whatever)
-look for some goals that really mean something to you and go after then

Also remember, this is important to this advice to work: You cant wait to feel good to start doing things, the thing is that it works the other way around.You do the stuff and then you will feel good/fullfilled. The first step is the hardest.
Also read about "flow psychology", theres a book a guy from hungary wrote that explains it all in detail.Good luck man.

honestly if you can learn to motivate & engage yourself while being NEET it truly is in a class of it's own as a lifestyle & perhaps an indication of how humans could be living within developed societies. unfortunately the stress of trying to live on a dole check while living alone can mar the experience & leave you prone to depression the inverse of engagement & motivation. i've worked around this by beginning to grow vegetables in my mum's garden while shoplifting fruits & nuts from supermarkets allowing me to never worry about buying food. another thing i'd highly recommend if you're living in your own place & especially if you suffer from mental health issues is to grow psilocybin mushrooms & use them in a ritualistic manner something i found to give greater insight & help to my issues than years of psychiatry & medication ever provided.
