how do I stay motivated

math is hard guys

Being NEET sucks dick and the existential dread and misery far outweighs work and study stress. Keep going until what you’re doing ends fairly soon.

Try reframing the thought process as everyone until recently did. You’re not holding on or benefitting from some out control motivation but steeling yourself and fight through laziness and despair.

Motivation is training wheels. Its a short burst. Self discipline and mental toughness are what you’re looking to maintain and train.

So you're telling me if I just keep going, even when I don't feel like going, I'll be training my discipline and mental toughness?

I'm literally a brainlet NEET trying to get myself into Uni.. there is so much math I have to re-learn..it doesn't compare to that existential dread though that's for sure.

You would have both if you were EET

Yes absolutely. Its a mental illness you should be fighting every day.

Research motivation techniques yourself i find Flow by Unpronouncable Hungarian Name the best place to start.

Possibly you might relate to that as much as i do. Its not directly related but achieving this in your studies will double your study time painlessly.

Laziness is an academic parenting secret propogated so other kids don’t get ahead and psychology is really very far behind on studying it and its treatment without handwaving it as depression.

Get a gf who you want to create a family and future with. Even if it doesn't work out, you'll be at a pretty good stage in your life to do whatever

Nothing is comfier longterm than a set routine and safe knowledge of a paycheck.

Unhappiness is always in us no matter what but the grass is not greener in this situation if you work less than 10hours per day.

Sadly this is the unironic truth. Getting a gf in my late 20s caused and incredible change in my brain and understanding of our social reality.

how? I'm trying to make myself deserving of a gf, I'm unable to get one in my current state

The jannies are gonna get us but just don't take it personally/hard if you can't get one. It's different every time and anyone in a long term relationship who is assumably the person to ask is actually the last person to know as they'll just shrug it off as, it just happened, because it did.

The truth of the matter is women always want masculine featured and capable males. So almost no male under 25 let alone babyfaced nerdy ones are attractive to them. So just get out there and make the most of life and your studies and let them come to you. There's really no rush at all.

Work on small, linearly achievable stuff first. Make sure you have a driving license.

Deserving? That's an odd way of thinking about it. She's not a reward, she's a partner.

I found a girl some years younger than me who's pretty much equally fucked up but also as intelligent and got fed up with both our lives being shit, decided to save at least two lives and also create a family which will have much better circumstances than i had. I got sick of my own self pity and decided to just get shit done, things are never perfect anyway.

Pursue physical, mental and financial self improvement OP. Rest assured that this >>10571809 is how you will be feeling once you get get into a committed relationship and is them mentality you as an assumably virgin NEET are for now denied.

That's all thats different with you. Not any personal failing on your part. You'll make it just keep working on yourself.
To be honest I miss my self improvement cocoon years.

Better question is

I wish I had more time

Everything is about time really. Your career is actually quite a small amount of hours if you think about it.
