i am becoming sick of living everything is just work work work wagecucking is making me hate life i am bored to death with this place i am sick of it i am beginning to think neetdom is indeed the best way to live in today's world. a lot of the people i see (i don't want to call them friends because i dont feel close to them whatsoever) are always on about the "hussle" and they are these early 20 year olds with meme haircuts you know where they slick their hair back and consume a shit full of cultureless garbage i know because they always ask me about the cultureless garbage that they watch. they are always going on about "success" and i feel everyone around me is deluded i have no idea what they are going on about i have no idea what success means. i remember one of them shared to me their idea of success as he told me how he wants to work in the city and how he finds these people wearing fitted suits and with meme haircuts motivational and then he told me something about the hussle and i remember being filled with disgust and telling myself i would rather be anything but that.
what are some books about this feeling of disillusion and that discuss boredom in the modern world and that critique capitalism?

True, I even have a job that qualifies as a NEET-type job. Look at me. I am reading books and hanging out on 4chan and play OSRS at work. For the whole damn shift.

Still more comfy than real wagecuckery, though...

But, I want LIFE! What is it!?!?

I share very similar feels, instead of NEETdom I'm planning to join the army, after which I'll try to get accepted by a PMC.
I don't care about the money or the fact that I'll be ordered around like a bitch, the adventure, the thrill of shooting somalian pirates is appealing to me.
Modern life is just so terribly dull. If you don't value getting a family or making someone/something proud theres nothing to strive for, it's just so terribly boring.

I apologise for blogposting.

Don't go NEET, make your own business. Make money from your hobby, you still would need to make some sacrifices, but it would be wholly your own path.
You can even make money online, there are plenty of platforms for that - but you need to be adaptable, most people just keep doing the same thing and eventually give up. Make your own opportunities, meet people online, just don't wait for it to happen on it's own.

I feel you 100% in this. Sometimes I look around at my 22-3 coworkers, friends, colleagues and fail to recognize any sense of liberty and independence in them. It's a bit maddening and the more I keep to myself the more they perceive me as some weirdo, but little do they know that I despise them back. In silence.

I'm right there with you OP. I worry about "the hustle" to the point it's useful to me (having a stable job) but it is entirely secondary, and what I really want to do is drop off modern society, learn practical skills, build a homestead, start a big family, and live the most gratifying and meaningful life I can. It is very hard, there's a strong sense of alienation from people because they don't see a purpose in much outside of pursuing their careers. People don't see value in real struggle; they simply don't seek it out.
I hung out with some of my coworkers last night and all they had to talk about was how much they hate their job and getting drunk/stoned. I want to show people there is a better way to think and act in life, but it either falls on deaf ears or is dismissed as "lol anon you're so weird" like BITCH, what is so weird about pursuing a genuine purpose in a sea of meaningless accumulation of material garbage? I get it, you bought a Switch and you're on the fence about buying your fourth cat. But what does any of that bullshit really mean to you?
It's just frustrating man. Play the game insofar as it serves some greater purpose. I'm a lot happier acknowledging it as a means to an end, and knowing one day I can leave this shitty place and create my own beautiful world.
