user there is a NEET general up already
remake this one when that one dies

>user there is a NEET general up already

This is not Neet only this is Neet and hikikomori General.

Indulging in artwork, I guess. Though at times it veers dangerously close to escapism, I've managed to avoid this by creating art myself, which grounds the hobby a bit more to reality.

Still, I wish people cared about what I do.

Put it out there for people to see.

>What distracts you from depression and suicidal thoughts
literally anime and video games. mom gives me an allowance and use that to buy new games or anime merch. i used to drink but got tired of vomiting every morning so i stopped. i couldnt hog up the bathroom because my siblings needed it to go to school. what a sad sight it must have been to see a neckbeard doubling over the toilet at 6 am

You could have applied for a job in the same amount of time you made this shit thread

i wouldn't naturally consider myself an introvert or anything like that, but unfortunately I fit for the most part the entire criteria list you gave.. it's just circumstance in the past few years and where my life's gone..

>You could have applied for a job in the same amount of time you made this shit thread

Its not easy wagecuck many neets and hikis have mental health issues.

>unfortunately I fit for the most part the entire criteria list you gave.. it's just circumstance in the past few years and where my life's gone..

So this is you?


The Cabinet Office of Japan describes Hikikomori (Acute Social withdrawal) as the following.

Mostly Male aged 15 to 39 years old sometimes older
The following situation of isolation occurs for more than half a year (6 Months)
I usually stay at home, but I go outside sometimes to a nearby convenience store or for groceries at night
I get out of my bedroom sometimes such as to eat and use the bathroom but not from home
I hardly get out of my bedroom in my parents house or single room apartment
Neet (Not In Education Employment Or Vocational Training)

Those who stay home but still go outside for work/school hobbies/interest and have a social life or are withdrawn as a result of a current condition" such as schizophrenia or a physical illness, or those who stay at home but still do household chores / childcare with "what they usually do when they are at home" and those who are retired or work from home and still leave the house for meetings and interviews are excluded and are not regarded as hikikomori.

>you could have sent an application to boomer inc. which will never be read and will never result in a job interview
yeah i know. i could have then spent 2 hours grooming myself and wasting moms time driving me to an interview that will result in nothing.

Thats why you are a neet. Using stupid ass health issues as an excuse. If you actually had a social life, healthy diet, and do something meaningful that makes you happy you wouldnt be a neet

Not all neets are hikikomori some are healthy and do have social lives.

>Mostly Male aged 15 to 39 years old sometimes older
22, 7 months since I hung out with a friend, I sleep and work in my bedroom on computer
I get out to go to the grocery store, to buy weed, cigarettes and fast food
I mean I guess I do "household chores" if that includes sweeping the floor once in awhile and wiping up piss around the toilet, but I dont think that really means a whole lot

so yeah I would say for the most part I dunno.

>I mean I guess I do "household chores" if that includes sweeping the floor once in awhile and wiping up piss around the toilet, but I dont think that really means a whole lot

No they are excluding housewives when they say that also what kind of online work do you do?

>Using stupid ass health issues as an excuse

See thats my problem with people like you you are generalizing and assuming all Neets are lazy just because they are in a difficult situation in their life and some refuse to change appetly you dont know what a mental illness is do you?

>literally anime and video games

What about manga?

i like the ost tracks anime offers. memorizing the opening and ending songs is part of the experience. i recently got into buying light novels though just to tell japan making more seasons is the best way to pick my moms wallet. i have no choice but to read the HxH and pokemon manga though. sad this good stuff doesnt get new seasons constantly

Read the Welcome To The NHK light novel.

The Pokemon manga is better than the anime.

Not much really distracts me...I used to have cigarettes but I quit a few months ago. I also used to be into drugs pretty heavily but for many reasons I hardly do those anymore either. I haven't really been a "gamer" for years, I just can't concentrate on it, can't enjoy it much. I feel like I've been stuck in hell for years and at this point I don't really have a way cope. I very seriously consider suicide every single day.

>I very seriously consider suicide every single day.

Same here.
