Everytime I see a NEET thread that barely gets any replies and is always dying after a few posts it just reminds me how fucking different this place is from what it used to be. These threads used to be up 24/7 and active as fuck just 4 years ago. What the fuck happened to this place?

I'm feeling pretty good. I have a sense of gratefulness every day for not having to be a normie out in the world slaving.
Jacob Wood
Because you don't really have the same motivation normies have. I can't speak for you but I just never felt the urge to make money or better myself in conventional ways. I'm pretty happy sitting at home doing nothing "productive" because I am doing what I like.
David Morris
I'm also aware of this feeling. This guy pretty much nails it If your wants aren't aligned with the regular wants in society then you don't really any any motivation to do anything. Nearly every human being is motivated solely by wanting to fug and have a family. If you don't have that because you've given up or prefer to be alone then there's really nothing to motivate you aside from starvation.
Ryder Moore
I feel like scum of the earth, like yesterday, even worse. Resources deplete, things get used up, and my circumstances continue to become worse and sour over time. My bitter, ill feelings become worse. Depression and anxiety worsens. Walls feel a bit closer, room a bit smaller. Lethargically fending off delusions, treading water in the middle of the ocean as the days continue to cycle, swimming toward a small island in the distance against a tide that takes me further away every day. A futile struggle in an ocean that isn't as simple as drowning to die as means of an end, no, it isn't that simple. The waters can't be reasoned with, I must swim, but they won't immediately let me under either; they only throw tides of waves over my head to keep me alert.
Elijah Martinez
Hello fellow NEETs/Hikkis. Do you mind telling us about why you're a NEET/Hikki and how long you've been one?
Feel exact same way, want to do that but also don't want mom, dad beating me and kicking me out, is planning to go to school to prevent that to keep them happy
Almost two years. I have anxiety issues that I deem intolerable and I worry more than I can confide in myself. Stuck in a guilty limbo until I decide to go through the motions, bitterly. That's the problem, I don't have it in me to improvise an act to mask my bitterness, so I stay in bed most of the day, or neander about town.
Henry Smith
Do you have any way to feel better, user? When my depersonalization gets real bad I usually try to focus on things that make me forget I feel it. Been a NEET for 12 years and I'm losing sight of reality, which worries me quite a bit.
Brandon King
Not really, I stare at the walls and the ceiling. I should find a chat or something online because I feel horrible being alone and bored ruminating over the same obsessions for periods of time. I am pretty convinced that I am in hell, the worst part is that I won't ever be able to prove it.
Austin Wright
Successful people. This isn't a place for losers anymore.
Connor Fisher
I honestly think the influx of mentally ill trannies ruined the place enough to get a lot of normal bots to stop coming here. This board is all just like gross sexual degeneracy now.
Cameron Baker

Tell me about it.
Carter Rodriguez
Jow Forums in general used to be a place for only losers but around the boxxy era normalfags had completely taken over.
Ryan Reyes
>tfw made bank from Etherium last year >tfw can live the neet life comfortably for at least 10 years
I don't even know what to even go to school for, and if I rush into this decision to appease my parents I'll be red my entire life. Debt riddled. I'm just blatantly honest, I have no desire for anything anymore and I never had a goal that was worth striving for, and because of that I do not know what to do with myself. So I don't do anything until I know.
Charles King
How many hours a day do you lay in bed staring out your bedroom window? Like I do
Adrian Campbell
and when that money runs out? you will endure a shock like no other
It feels like most of the real robots and NEET/Hikkis just stopped coming here because of how alienated they feel. I remember how at home I felt at Jow Forums back in 2005. The majority of users were total losers who were too autistic to have friends in real life so they confided online with other turbo autists. Now the majority are failed normies who are also severe moralfaggots who started using Jow Forums in 2017.
Austin Harris
Probably, I'll be 35 by then. I don't really want to live longer past that anyway. Especially with the way the world is heading.
It is, just gonna try and savor it for as long as I can.
>Now the majority are failed normies who are also severe moralfaggots who started using Jow Forums in 2017.
Very true Jow Forums has become too mainstream now even people like Taylor Swift and Youtubers like Mumkey Jones or underage kids like Turkey Tom use Jow Forums i miss when Jow Forums was the weeb Neet/Hikikomori losers hangout.
Austin Foster
not really keen 2 talk bout it
Kevin Fisher
Taylor Swift was rumored to use Jow Forums back in 2007 man, I remember it quite clearly. Some autists even complied evidence to prove it was true. I'd like to believe Taylor is actually an old Jow Forums user.
Jeremiah Harris
>It feels like most of the real robots and NEET/Hikkis just stopped coming here because of how alienated they feel. That's how I feel, i lurk but that's it. Plus, when you reach a certain point there's not really much to talk about. Shame also plays a role. Very hard to find someone whose condition is worse than mine willingful to communicate.
Camden Sanders
imagine thinking they joined 2017 and not 2007
Blake Gutierrez
What drove me away is porn posters and failed normies desu.
Isaiah Wright
>when you reach a certain point there's not really much to talk about That's a big reason why Discord servers fail. Whenever people run out of things to talk about, the entire server would just devolve into constant shitposting and low quality discussions. Same applies to NEET/Hikki threads, there's just not that much you can say without repeating yourself. People talk about how broken they feel and all you can do is just say "yeah me too" because you can't give normie advice that you hate getting yourself.
Porn I ignore because that shit's been here since day 0, the low quality "baits" and shitposts just tire me. I just wish there was a place I could have serious discussions with losers just like myself.
Parker Rivera
I just have the vague idea that I want love like in my Chinese cartoons. Is that a good enough goal? I don't know how to get there, it's tough.
Brayden Ortiz
>It feels like most of the real robots and NEET/Hikkis just stopped coming here because of how alienated they feelY
The worst thing is I don't know where else to go. Jow Forums is my only source of socialization and feels so alien to post here nowadays. Completely out of touch with the current userbase.
Yeah, I know how you feel. Jow Forums is the only place I can voice myself without fearing some backlash. There's just no community I feel I belong to anymore. The average age on Jow Forums seems to be hovering between 16 and 21. At 28 it's kind of hard to feel home online these days. Hard to tell if it's the community that changed or if it's just me aging beyond the average age that made me feel so out of touch with the people here.
Jayden Hughes
life is a major disappointment, so i dont bother look at any old person who has worked their ass off their entire life all so they can be mediocre and die im a neet who lives with his mom, so the idea that i have to sell 1/3 of my life to some rich nigger to have even less free time than i do now just seems really, really fucking stupid to me.
Alexander Phillips
I'm 29. Increasingly see younger people doing shit on the internet that I don't understand at all anymore. Like it's starting to happen with me where I'm just becoming an old boomer and I don't even have a social life anymore at all after my old friends and I moved all over the country. There's nowhere for me to go and nothing to do. Also I can't shake the alcoholism. I've been drinking for 10 years now and it's becoming really necessary that I stop.
Nathaniel Perry
Most people that post on boards or generals I use are in their mid 20s or 30s
At least that's what it seems like
Tyler Carter
i only come here because i never migrated anywhere else. or got a life. i'm 30 now. everyone i know from here has moved on. it seems i was the one with the most brain problems after all.
