Went back to finish my a levels this year and im going to uni in September. Got accepted onto an undergrad/integrated masters I don't even care if i have a gf or not anymore. Everything is finally okay. I'm 26 and never really had any good prospects until now.
Fellas, what are you doing to get your shit together? And if its nothing, why not?
user im honestly happy for you, i applied to 2 different schools this week and nearly got a job. ended up not getting the job but sometimes you have to take some hits and carry on.
Henry Wilson
congrats yo.
im finally starting a new job in like 3 days. been unemployed for like 3 months after last temp job ended. i was sober for 4 months until i relapsed last week which sucks and will suck even more once this bag runs out. still, things are looking up overall.

I'm tired of being a hopeless loser. I want to at least try to succeed in life before I throw in the towel and an hero

Keep putting yourself out there. Good things never come easily

19yrs old, starting today gym Got over a whore who made me depressed for 1 or 2 yrs life is getting better user
I'm eating good and starting to see some weight shift off, I'm going to finish off my Masters this year. The anxiety is still there but it's less intense since I stopped the neet life. Things going well since all considered.

thanks for the encouragement. this thread is so wholesome
Go on my child. Bitches deserve zero to no love and one beautiful lady (or man, cuz y not?) will surely love you if you love urself as you are. Greentext time? Greentext time > be me > one year ago > have this useless prick as chief > in the beginning we were just he, his wife, my gf and me > his wife got mental issues because she couldn't handle the job > I told this asshole to get his shit together and fire her before she did some damage > totally ignored > based on that, have personal issues with them > she got a new job some time after that, still mentally unstable > fast forward to last week > got fired > explanations was "we made you a test, you didn't pass. A third person was testing you this whole time and you're incapable for this job"
I made a letter for his superiors to be aware of his shitfullness, hoping that my gf would not receive the same treatment I got. I'm waiting for some friends to help me get a big trip to another state, in the hopes of growing as a person.

Im NEET again after 6 months of employment. Unlike during my 3 year NEET streak, this time I'm actually looking for jobs and its going well.
I'm also exploring new hobbies and teaching myself math online. Might go to college next year if I can choose a major. Honestly, haven't felt better since I was a kid, and it's only getting better.

I'm on foundation course leading to CS. Its fucking fucked m8! You'll have about four lecturers who shout 'meh equality' at you each seminar/lecture. All the while, testing your knowledge on the 9 times table. If your doing CS, make sure youve taught yourself some before hand.
Hudson Phillips
I am in uni for comp eng. failed my first year and took a year off to NEET and trying to finish now. Have a shit GPA abut whatever.
Worth it? Foundation courses here guarantee a spot in university but they seem like a scam.
Matthew Cooper
Got fired from my shit dishwashing job. It was great to employed and I enjoyed it but it was demeaning work and boring being told and teased constantly that I should be a rocket scientist or graduate or something. Hanging around with those hopeless write off coworkers was almost as depressing as remaining NEET. Some couldn't read at all and all had a handful of kids they clearly never see because the hours are so ridiculous (14 hours no breaks bullshit).
I made enough money to do my driving and riding tests. Doing an intensive course with a guy who teaches advanced driving for the Police and other cool shit so I have high hopes to pass this time and that on my resume I should be more employable for cooler jobs.
Gavin Bennett
I wish I could say I was but I have been drinking vodka all morning even though I have work in an hour.

>Fellas, what are you doing to get your shit together? I'm stopping my full-time wagie job just so I can put more money into concentrating on myself. My job was making me exhausted as fuck and, admittedly, not making the wisest decisions while I had time off. I neglected to take care of the house I lived in. I lost 60 hours a week on doing the most menial shit AND getting yelled at for it, all while suffering from a lack of sleep and making a total mess of everything I owned. I couldn't care less about having a social life but god damn it if my autism isn't acting up. I just want to be comfortable damn it
Juan Cook
im sad to hear that your education is not going as well as it could.
but on a side note >pic implying saber isnt the cutest girl.
Lost about 70lbs and I've started leaving the house for walks, and I've started building up to running. I want to build up a decent level of fitness, my muscles have been pretty much gone after 3 years of being a shut in and barely moving.
I'm seeing a therapist too and I think with their help I'm going to start applying for jobs and trying to be an actual member of society.
I don't want to be a lonely shut in anymore, I feel motivated for the first time in a long time.
Ryan Lee
YES thats the attitude user, i just finished another job application, i hope seeing a therapist helps you. Keep it up. :D
24 here. Started an internship friday and fucking killed it and built some good rapport. Dude's water heater started leaking and I helped him fix it. Hopefully this will lead to a job and I can move out of my mom's place and not become an alcoholic again.
Jackson Hall
Im glad youre doing well user! Ofcourseoriginally

>started saving towards a house about 8 months ago >sold a bunch of stuff I didn't need last year >have about 28k in the bank now >finally built credit score back up to a good point >trying to make moves towards a new career but I just got some concerning news about what I had planned
Finding out the news about the career I wanted to pursue has me a little worried. I'm not 100% sure that it's the best path for me considering I want to buy a house. It might delay that a couple years or so and I'm so sick/embarrassed of the fact that I still live at home at 27.
All I wanna do is not get my shit together. I have to go to uni to please my parents soon but I'll likely drop out within three months. I don't know why they even try anymore.
Zachary Reed
what was the concerning news like if you dont mind me asking?
Oliver Harris
Im losing weight, weening out degenerate porn, and getting fit.
I'd be joining the union and I'd need to work 2000 hours a year and 5 years of school while working to reach journeyman pay rate. The lady I spoke with told me that it's pretty common for people to do a year or so of school before they even get the chance to work because the foremen decide which apprentices work on their sites. If this were the case with me I'd need to quit my current job which pays decent so it wouldn't interfere with the school schedule. And not working for a year would push back the time it takes me to become a journeyman. My father's friend is one of the foremen and my father said he'd pull me on his jobs, but I need to talk with him before I 100% commit to this.
Matthew Taylor
Good for you user! i hope you reach your goals
Jeremiah Long
well youre lucky to have contacts in the business but i think its a smart move to take things calmly and think them through. even if you hit a couple speedbumps on the way dont give up.
Adam King
I'll never get shit together because I hate everything. My only remaining option is trying SSRIs before deciding to kill myself.
Brandon Green
Quit smoking and being stoned every day. Failed Uni but am now applying for an apprenticeship so I can finally move out of my parents home. Trying to pick up healthy habits like daily beard care/shaving and going out for a jog a few times a week. Also socializing more often and not isolating myself for weeks anymore. Things are slowly going up and I'm really glad not to depend on drugs for my overall happiness anymore though I like to indulge in them socially on the weekend.
