neet for like 3 years 23 now and i feel like complete shit, i feel like my life is a jail
i am not an entire neet i take like 1-2 online classes at community college a semester but i spend my entire day inside and feel like death. its a constant schedule of sleep, eat, computer, and i socialize with someone maybe once a month and its eating at me. i need to break free. im not saying wagie life is perfect but at least you have money to do things. right now i have like 20 dollars in my bank account and even if my friends wanted to do something i would not be able to do because im broke,
im trying to rise up and make an app tho so maybe one day im going to make it. rant
agreed. neet for 3 years as well, 21 years old. i dont even need to stop being a neet really, i live with just my dad and hes happy to have me around and he makes a lot of money, but its just awful. i truly do not believe the neets here who say they live fulfilling lives with hobbies and interests and stuff, even the rich ones. ive learned that a job (or full time schooling) is essential to being productive and developing in other parts of life. given limitless free time and no responsibility all men will eventually fold into manchild stage.
i spend all of my time applying for jobs, have been for the last 6 months. but no one will hire me, not even mcdonalds.
yeah man i almost feel like i cornered myself into becoming unemployable because of the work absence. and the hobby thing is true as well i spent all my time as a neet learning to program which is good but im not making any money from it lol.
ive spent the last 3 years in my room and had to start moving things around to stop myself from going crazy. the other thing that sucks is going outside to the store or something in the morning and its all completely dead, everyone is at work, and the only people who are out and about are the elderly.
i feel removed from society, i need to leave neetdom
Easton Roberts
I've been feeling exactly the same recently. 300 bucks a month is not a life, it's an existence. Browsing the web and consuming media/vidya gets very boring very fast when you have infinite time and nothing to contrast it with. And you can't do anything else because you have no money in the bank
well luckily you have programming skill and some kind of substance in the time gap (your community college classes) so you probably will have an easier time landing a job than me because i have no skills and just an empty 3 year gap between high school and now.
however ur also 2 years older than me, and i already feel like ive wasted most of my fucking young adulthood at 21. so i highly recommend that u start down the path of leaving neetdom right now even if its just applying for shit like part time jobs at grocery stores. anything that will get you out of the house on a daily basis. im going fucking insane too man, absolutely insane. i need to get a job. i would rather be a miserable productive member of society than a miserable insane leech on society

>I truly believe you need to slave away for others to live a fulfilling life Kek, what a good doggy.
Hunter Brown
slaving isnt the end goal, the end goal is passive income but having money is better than rotting away as a neet
Lucas Sanders
Yeah but if the doors to that jail were opened - presumably if someone gave you money or hired you - where the hell would you go? Other than going to work and coming home again, that is?
That's what happened to me when I got a job and wagecucked for a while. I went from sitting around doing nothing to... sitting around doing nothing whenever I wasn't at work. The money piled up in my savings account because I couldn't think of anything I wanted to spend it on.
Gavin James
Same boat as you friend.
Jordan Clark
well it sounds to me like you just lack direction.
and i agree lack of direction as a neet is the same as lack of direction as employed. im just talking about the actual not having money restricting you in life as a neet.
>ive spent the last 3 years in my room and had to start moving things around to stop myself from going crazy. What do you mean? Is the repetition of everyday driving you nuts or something?
>complains about not having money as a Half-NEET >Thinks being a wagie will make you feel better
I hate to break it to you but being a wagie isn't any different. Still broke, still don't socialize with others, tired all the time

Jaxson Peterson
At least in jail you get food and human interaction
Joseph Sullivan
yeah like the design of my room. desk and bed location started driving me crazy. it got way to repetitive.
Connor Ramirez
Maybe not totally wrong.
NEET for nearly all my adult life, and okay with it. I would totally make damn sure to get solitary confinement if I ever get jailed.
Luke Cook
anyone else noticing every post is dubs what the shit

Only 5 out of the 16 posts so far are doubles.

one thing you need when you start wagecucking is you need a direction with your money and you need to figure it out as soon as you get your first paycheck you will lead an incredibly unfulfilled life as a wagie if you're not working towards something, like a car or apartment or school or a hobby that's not consumerist (vidya, movies, statues, etc) always have something like a monthly and yearly goal in mind while working and your work life drastically improves

The problem is that if you're the kind of person who fell into an aimless, drifting life in the first place, you're probably not going to be the kind of person who's strongly goal-oriented, and for whom setting, working towards, and eventually achieving goals is motivating and fulfilling. If you were that kind of person you probably would have already had direction in life to begin with. It's easy for such a not-goal-driven person to force themselves to set and work towards goals and then, upon achieving them, look back and feel not pride, but a sense of pointlessness. "Whoop-de-doo, I finally accomplished X. Yay? Why did I bother with that again? My feet hurt, I wish I was at home playing video games, etc"
lol. What you need to do is take night walks and go to the Church/Buddhist Temple or something. I guarantee you 100% you'll feel better and you don't have to spend a dime besides transport.
my life is literally like jail. i live in the middle of nowhere in a small town. literally always snowing and cold. parents are poor as fuck so the house is broken down. its completely frozen inside my house so i cant leave my room its literally like 50 degrees all around and i feel sick from being trapped inside all day
Andrew Carter
That's what you get for selling crack and diddling that kid.
Julian Parker
I disagree hard
i wageslaved for 5 years straight. before that, i was a student
i became NEET for the first time 6 months ago, this was at the age of 25. it has improved my life enormously.
i cured my depression. i felt like a prisoner, a slave at my job. i had to wake up to a blaring alarm clock every day, rush to force-feed myself and sit in a car to drive to an office just to sit there for 8 hours a day. it was terrible. i had no control over what i was allowed to do in the mornings.
i'm also a natural night owl, i like to stay up till 4am and wake up around noon; really, i have no choice, so the alarm clock going off at 8am every day just caused me chronic sleep deprivation. this ruined my health
now, my dad is bitching hard at me to get a job and THIS is making me feel like shit. i don't want to go back to that terrible life. whenever i get a job i will give it a chance, but my old job was actually really comfy for a job... the issue i had was the chronic sleep deprivation (exercising at the gym made it worse)
>i socialize with someone maybe once a month and its eating at me i personally prefer the solitude now
oh well. i probably wasn't made for this world
Aiden King
Your personality seems to be the main problem
Schizotypal maybe?
Anthony Scott
i have never been diagnosed with anything
it is a "problem" with no solution? can i get free government money if i get diagnosed
yeah same with me about the dad thing. thats going to get worse and eat at you daily, especially when its brought up daily as it is with me and my parents.
first year or two of neet was cool with me but past that it becomes a living hell. you begin to feel like a complete loser, be told you are a complete loser, and then act like a total loser. you have 0 money so you cant afford nice clothes or nice food or anything. id say the office life simply wasnt for you and you need a job thats anything but a boring office environment.
have you considered an outdoors/mobile career?
Lincoln Miller
>you begin to feel like a complete loser, be told you are a complete loser, and then act like a total loser. i felt like a loser when i wageslaved. i feel better now. also i don't care what other people think. i am exercising and going to the gym, getting Jow Forums
>you have 0 money so you cant afford nice clothes or nice food or anything i have fucktons of clothes. i don't care about dressing "nice" i am trying to lose fat anyway.
also i have money for food. i do a bit of freelancing. i make maybe $300-500 a month, which is more than enough for food
>have you considered an outdoors/mobile career? my degree is in economics and all of my work experience is web development. my dad wouldn't like that. he doesn't even like the idea of me freelancing. he is a total boomer and thinks i need to wake up early and go to a regular wagecuck job with benefits and everything, go get a house, etc.
honestly i just want to be left alone, for the most part. i want to be able to work from home. programming is really easy for me, but it's not very rewarding at all.
i wouldn't do a "mobile" career because i don't like driving. i don't really like to leave my room much .. i just go to the gym or grocery store
Aiden James
What is your end goal? What are you trying to achieve by going to college? I'm currently in Uni and working on an Educational Studies degree so I can teach in S.Korean and eventually work my way up to the higher paying countries. But what is your purpose in going to college?
Julian Anderson
I wish you could go in the internet in jail and people in jail could talk to us in Jow Forums and we could help them get stuff
Elijah Diaz
dude that is exactly me, everything from the web dev freelancing to the boomer dad. shit man if what you saying is true its going to be real bad. im about 2 years ahead of you in the situation you described and let me give you a run down on how things have went.
>quit wagie job >start freelance web dev >find some local clients through relatives >pull in about 300-500 a month >boomer parents begin booming >not a real job, you cant make a life out of that, no room for growth >but they stay completely quiet when someone i freelance for sees them and says hey isnt user your kid, he knows his stuff >the booming gets worse with my dad saying "when I was your age I had kids" "i have 3 jobs" "you should have gotten a degree years ago and you are still in school" "etc etc etc" >had a lot of freetime so im like i might as well gymcel, got pretty in shape >now my old clothes i had dont fit, and its getting worse >the clients have died down and i make less desperately trying to learn mobile app dev to try to make an app or something >depressed because everyone around me is getting older and accomplishing things meanwhile i stare at the same screen for hours a day and just walk 3 feet to go to sleep
the most crushing part of it all is the solitude its so so lonely when everyone is out the house at work and its nothing but you and elderly people.
Isaac Nelson
well i want what everyone wants, economic freedom. to be able to have a fun job that makes you a livings amount. more so an entrepreneur kind of job but related to programming.
why am i in college? because my parents forced me to go when i was 18 and i fucked up real bad when i started going. like real bad, now i actually want to go and im stuck dealing with fixing all my bad grades and stuff. and the only reason i am going is because im half way done and i would like to have a few more options besides mcdonalds and other similar jobs.
Lincoln Peterson
I've been NEET since December 2007 and housebound for 99% of that. 11+ years. At this point I am utterly, utterly unemployable and have nothing to live for except distracting myself with media to stave away the black hole of depression.
Ayden White
>"you should have gotten a degree years ago and you are still in school" yeah i went to the top ranked university in my state, it's a public ivy ranked #10 in the whole country.
so my dad basically assumes i am entitled to some fucking wagecuck job
do you have kik? add me 'weaslethorpe' we can discuss ideas
i use upwork some but i haven't been trying to get many jobs. my dad would just get mad about that
Gavin Thomas
Why not just try to find a part-time job? You'll make some pocket money and it will make you feel productive without eating up all of your time like a full time job.
Alternatively you can go volunteer somewhere for free. When I was neet I volunteered as a tutor a few hours a week and this helped me build up my resume a bit.
Liam Kelly
As a wagecuck what I'm working towards is being able to retire early, preferably in my mid 30s. Had I started wagecucking instead of neeting it up when I was younger, I'd be in much better shape to achieve this. I probably would have been able to retire by my late 20s,
If you live with your parents and save most of your income, you can semi-retire pretty early on in life.
Easton Robinson
was a NEET dont recommend it
Isaiah Brown
>Browsing the web and consuming media/vidya gets very boring very fast when you have infinite time
You will hate it after 5 years, and it will feel like work.
unless you are somehow wealthy, you are Gambling hard with becoming homeless. Its the main reason i went back. Worst case i buy a trailer home and work til im dead, I would Not last 2 minutes homeless.
