What the hell does a NEET do all day?
What the hell does a NEET do all day?
Live in anxious fear and avoidance of my mother who is gradually losing her patience with me and constantly telling me to get a job. I'm scared of even leaving my room at this point
Sounds like you are becoming a hikkikomori. But seriously what do you do all day besides the anxiety? Especially in just one room. Learn things, play games read look for jobs?
I don't know how you guys do the NEET life. I don't particularly like school but at least it keeps me busy. If I dont leave my house for more than 4 days I feel like fucking garbage. How the fuck do guys do that shit for months. I'm genuinely curious.
Practice spanish, torrent and watch movies/anime, browse the internet, masturbate, read. I wish I could say I was more productive. I just don't want to have a job
Also I don't play vidya that much anymore because my mom sold the pc I used to play and she took away my old xbox 360 which I had most of my games on
>tfw mom told me I have till the end of july to figure out what I want to do in life
>10 days left
>dad keeps pesturing if I've been looking for summer jobs
>feel disappointed in self when I push out a no
Yeah thats about how my mom is right now. I've applied for a job as a page at a library, but all I did was fill out an application and turned it in. My mom keeps urging me to check back up with them. She went to a new restaurant that was openig and talked the owner into getting me to work there. I went there on the opening night and worked making food for about six hours and the whole time I was havig a mental fucking break down. I left on a break and tod nobody and left no way to be contacted. She keeps saying even if I don't want to work there I should try to be paid for it but I don't even want to bother. Honestly I'm so scared that she will kick me out at this point, I don't have any where else to go
>How the fuck do guys do that shit for months. I'm genuinely curious.
So am I, I just want to know that the day consists of, if it still can be productive and not soul crushing.
I stay in bed. It's been a year now and I can't bring myself to do pretty much anything anymore. It's weird, It's like I am in solitary confinement, watching everything go by.I am losing my sanity. The cycle of beliving that I don't deserve happiness in anyway has ruined my life. I have nothing to live for anymore. The pain I feel while I am awake is overbearing. I get lost in my self-deprecating thoughts and memories and it torments me to the point of not being able to function. I apologise for the blogpost.
>I'm scared of even leaving my room at this point
Take edibles, get a psychotic breakdown, and you will want to hug your mom.
It's not fun but maybe it's a necessity for us robots.
I'm pretty close to NEETdom. The whole fucking year in school was so hard I thought I'll kill myself. Especially with our new classmates. In the first two years we were merged as IT-Automation (I'm in the latter), so 2 boyish vocations. Now we're with the hairdressers/barbers and god those bitches are so annoying. (And we are 2x overnumbered by them!) I was always anxious but now I cant sit through a lesson without trembling.
Point is, summer brake came, as usually I don't do anything but play games. It's like heaven. I already finished 4 visual novels and other games.
The only thing is that I can't imagine staying home after graduating. I want to move out as fast as possible, so I don't need to care about my parents thus, finding a job will be my top priority. How can you guys live with your parents for so long? I hate them.
I drink and smoke and at night i go buy more for the next day. That's about it.
I shitpost here, fap, cook and read
Aslo nightwalking listening to my favorite music. Probably gonna get stabbed soon considering where i live
I would do everything in my power to never work another day again. Its suffering the only thing in life thats fulfilling is art,exercise, and entertainment. I could be a NEET if I had a home gym Id love it actually
Whatever they want. I wish I could go back to that life style. My mid 20s were the best years of my life. Wake up whenever I want, go to bed whenever I want, spend the whole day doing one super involved task if I felt like it and it didn't matter if I burned a whole day because I'd have tomorrow and the next day and so on to do whatever else.
Having a job gives me money to buy shit and live independently, but fuck does it suck having to budget my time. I feel paralyzed, unwilling to start anything because if I get into it I won't have time to do anything else. I end up just doing lots of simple quick things that don't require much investment, or else wasting all my time shitposting on Jow Forums because I can't make a decision for how to spend my limited free time.
I would give anything to go back to my mid 20s and live that carefree NEET life style again.
all you need is a barbell
>walk around different parts of town
>browse shops
>visit public libraries
>go on nightwalks
>jog a lot
>try to learn new things online
If I don't give myself things to do that day, I will stay inside and play videogames or browse Jow Forums for 12+ hours. It's hard being productive when you have no discipline though. Literally every day I need to give myself a pep talk. I can't explain how, but when I have a job these little things come easier. When I had a job I did more with the 4-6 hours of free time I had at the end of the day than I do now with the 16 free hours a day.
When I was a NEET I'd typically go to bed at 4AM and wake up at noon. Most of my time was spent on Jow Forums. It's much less energy to use Jow Forums than to play games or watch anime. A few times a day I'd go into the living room to eat and watch TV with my mom. But other than that, I was in my room most of the time. On occasion, I'd feel ambitious, and would try to learn to program or learn something else online, but that'd fade after a few days.
There are days where you slump in your chair and just think "is this my life? is this all I'll ever do, is sit in this chair? is there nothing else for me? I don't know how to escape, I can't escape, I'm trapped, there's nothing I can do, fuckfuckfuck". It feels terrible to be trapped in this particular kind of thought loop. Where you think along the lines of "I want to change but I don't know to change". I have an internet friend who is a NEET, has been for longer than I ever was, and he has meltdowns over this kind of thought. I know how terrible it feels. Some people can exist without that thought, but some people like me just can't take it. You sit there sulking, and maybe if someone were around they would console you, but there's nobody. It's just you. You're in a state where you need help but there's nobody around to help. It just keeps feeling worse and worse. I almost want to cry when he is feeling like that.
My life isn't a whole lot better now. I work full time, but I come home to this same house, this same room, this same chair. But at least now when I sit around doing nothing, people will think it's okay, because I'm just resting after working so much. When it's all you day all day, every day, people look at you with disgust.

>>If I don't give myself things to do that day, I will stay inside and play videogames or browse Jow Forums for 12+ hours.
I can easily see that happening and thinks it happens a lot. You leave the house a lot which sounds different from the normal ones. Probably much better.
>You leave the house a lot
To keep my mind and body active and to stay in touch with the world. The longest I went without going outside was about 3 months, and by the end I honestly seemed to forget how to talk to people. Now I make a point to go outside and interact every day, even if it's just going to the supermarket to buy one thing I don't really need.
protip; don't become NEET
>What the hell does a NEET do all day?
i work on my personal project, hell i probably work more than you do
Can you say what type of project it is? Like a book, film, game? You don't have to get too into the detail if you want those private.
>What the hell does a NEET do all day?
meme about how great it is when the truth is I want to work a meaningful job. Just don't have to motivation to pursue it + autism
I archive
>movies
>tv shows
>books
>music
you name it
dont apologize man, let it out.
I feel the same, I live with constant anxiety and its damn near impossible to explain to my mom/step dad since it devolves into explaining it rationally. Which never works. If I could sort this problem out rationally I would already be cured of it.
I think the crux of my anxiety is exactly as you put it.
>The cycle of believing that I don't deserve happiness...
It fucking sucks.
They make it hard with the pressure, parents are often normalfags considering they did reproduce but a job will really make your life better. My parents are fine with me living at home employed (even a good job) maybe you're like me and don't want to leave home? They're basically my only physical contact with people so that's my thoughts anyway.
Either way, you'd be happier with a job.
to be a neet properly you actually have to desire being a neet (never leaving the house)
for me everything outside of the house has no positive emotional connection to me. everything I like is in my room
>It's like solitary confinement watching everything go by
Fuck...
If you preferred high school or uni over being a neet then you aren't cut out for it. both those things were a literal waking nightmare for me. neet life is preferable in every single way
I don't identify as NEET because even tho I'm not subscribed to normal academia; I still practice and educate myself the most I can.
I collect images of my favorite 2D girls and rare WW2 pictures in high resolution. Keeps me busy
guys on the right look like turbo spergs
A shit load of chores. It feels like a part time job, honestly. Gotta earn those good boy points somehow.
daydream about things that won't happen in real life
obsess autistically over specific things
be depressed
>a year
oh shit if you feel like this after only one year you better get the fuck out asap
NEETs don't wake up at 9AM
wake up at 2 am, browse the internet until 4 eat some junk food then watch some twitch streamer. Go to sleep at 6 am then next day. I don't have any motivation to do anything. I find life kinda boring but too much of a coward to kill myself. Devoid of any thought and emotion aside from angry.
Yare, yare...
The wagies are quiet rowdy tonight.
Wait a second....oh yes, of course! Today is monday, that explains it. Completely slipped my mind since....well, you see...every day is a weekend for me.
Just get a part time retail job and work like 10 hours a week and lie about the other times and pretend you're working that's what I do
Its been almost a decade, this year has just been particularly bad, the energy I had to do even basic things has completely gone.
>play video games
>watch youtube videos
>watch anime
>practice the bass guitar
>smoke weed when I can afford it, which isn't often
>write lyrics for my rap songs that I'll probably never actually rap
>occasionally shoot guns with my brother
That's about it. I'm thinking about getting into calisthenics. Might as well get fit with all this time I have. Having a hard time getting the willpower though.
I dont know. Intense apathy I guess. Like really intense apathy.
you better gtfo asap still
who the fuck jerks off at 3:00 PM??
people who don't live with their parents
When I was a neet, I slept till 12 pm, went to the gym at 1, came home and smoked weed/drinkers protein shake, played vidya until my mom finished supper, ate and smoked some more, played more vidya and fapped, then around 9 pm I took kratom or some type of opiate and watched movies/tv series until 3 or 4am.
I miss that shit so much. Nowadays I work 8 hours a day, get like 3 hours of sleep mac and have no time for anything due to my gf and 1 year old maniac baby. If go back to my NEET days in a heart beat. Oh yeah and all my fucking money I make goes toward fucking rent and utilities.
small steps bro, you can get back up. you're in a constant war against your subconscious. rise above your self-destructive urges by doing simple ass shit. brush your teeth, make your bed, walk outside every other day if you feel ready. Just don't let yourself feel defeated. Small victories add up.
pic related but add going to class and that's my daily routine.
Simple, we just feel like fucking garbage all the time.
was a complete NEET dependent on my parents 100% for many years, daily routine was
>wake up at 7-9am
>turn on my computer, start making breakfast, do stretches for a few minutes
>either eat in the balcony or while browsing whats new
>By that time coffee has chilled a little bit so I take the other half of the food and coffee to my lazy sleeping gf
>look at what I planned the other day, do coding, art,reading or whatever else I deem "productive" for 2-4 hours
>game together with gf or go out for a picnic
>we make lunch
>continue to do something productive for 1-3 hours
>go for an evening walk
>take a shower
>plan for the next day
>game, read, watch anime, talk together, cuddle, dinner
Was really bad 5 years ago, but now things are improving a lot and becoming more active on our own terms.
Since we started earning some money from personal projects can't call ourselves NEETs I guess. The day to day life is still similar on average.
Actually having a 'real' job and working sounds like nightmare fuel. Can't imagine doing that ever again.
They usually do nothing. They're also usually miserable with their lot in life, despite choosing to be a jobless fuck. That's why people hate them. Personally I don't care if they don't wanna work, or if they convince their parents to bankroll them doing nothing all day. I do care when they come on here to whine about how shitty loafing around all day is though. Just fucking do literally anything. Set some kind of goal for yourself and work towards it with all of your free time. You'll feel better and you'll be closer to fixing it all.
How do u find a job as a ex-NEET with a >10yo hole in your resume. and no i didnt do anything of value during that period
The least amount of interactions with people especially clients the better. outside of that ive no standards
ask them to help you find one
Look for custodial work or some kind of shit like that. It isn't glorious, and you will have to talk to some people (can't be helped with almost any job these days), but at least the people you talk to won't be customers who think they're always right, and most people will just ignore you until they have a task for you.
>Sleep in
>Internet
>Paint miniatures
>Vidya

NEET life best life
