When I was a kid, I was very smart. Was told that I would grow up to be successful and that I was gifted. I could do multiplication and division easily in my head. I could read something once and memorise it. I easily understood new concepts and I figured out problems and riddles easily. I had poor social skills but no mental illnesses. I was studious and motivated.
5 years later. I spend most of my time sleeping and I have no motivation for anything. I'm even more of a loser now than back then, except I now have mental problems as well. I'm stupid as fuck and can't figure anything out. I have problems remembering basic things, my childhood is basically a blur to me, can't even remember what I did last week. I find mathematics very difficult, can't do it in my head anymore. I've got nothing to show.
Why did my brain deteriorate so quickly? Why did I become such a fuckup? I can't cope with the fact that I am now a literal retard, subhuman genetic filth, when I was once 'gifted'.
I used to study well until the tenth class, after that everything collapsed, became worst student in the class. But life goes on anyway.

I feel exactly the same as you. Unfortunately I'm not a neet and I have to study and work every day. If you think about it, my case it's a lot more depressing. I have 0 motivation but still have to wake up every morning to face a society that I don't feel part of it because of my dumbness. At least you live in Australia
I feel the same. My problem is that I currently have nothing to work towards because I'm a boring person and there's no school anymore giving me goals. I hope that changes once I'm in Uni. Are you in a similar situation?

I wish I was a neet... I am working a dead end retail job where I will be doing the same exact shit for the rest of my life because I have no motivation to be promoted or get a new job. I was going to study psychology in university but I ended up fucking that up. Shame, if i had known that I wouldnt get a degree I wouldnt have tried so hard in high school.
I have never done any drugs. I never drank alcohol when I was young. I think it happened to me because of: 1 - Lack of sleep, I stayed up way too late into the night for no real reason 2- Brain damage, I hit my head during this 5 year period which might have caused brain damage. Also hit my own head when angry, but Im not very strong so it shouldn't have done anything 3- Lack of Use, I pretty much never actually did anything intellectually stimulating aside from studying.
Too late for me, I failed uni because I had a nervous breakdown and stayed in my apartment for two months straight.
I'm sorry to hear that Maybe getting routine in your life could help (fixed sleep time, workouts etc)

Take Aderall and Kratom. Your story sounds like mine. Was smart before then got lazy as fuck/ADD symptoms and became super introverted. I started taking Aderall and Kratom and now I'm super talkative and get stuff done super fast and no procrasination.
Xavier Roberts
Also what are you studying?
What are you planning to do in uni? I forgot how uni works but if I am allowed to reenter I might try again. need to sort myself out first, but thats probably not going to happen.
Also I have tried these before, but I never stick with it. Has happened with cold showers, working out, nofap, reading. I stick to the routine for a week or two but i can never stick to it.
That never even came to my mind. Don't you need an apprenticeship though? I don't think I have the social skills for that, especially since tradies are a very talkative bunch
what?

Could be worse user. I did everything right, went to college, am very intelligent, worked my ass off, but regardless of my efforts, I'm still an unemployed NEET. Your better off having not tried, then having put in the effort and ultimately seeing nothing come out of it. But what can you do I guess. Chris Langan, a guy in the USA with an IQ of 200 (literally called the smartest man in American) worked as a bartender much of his life because the system failed him.
Zachary Gray
How do you become a NEET in the USA? Do you claim disability benefits or do you live off someone?
Robert Walker
I'm not sure yet, but I'm considering medicine, psychology and law Do you have friends?
Dominic Cox
how do NEETS even handle neetdom, if for some reason i have nothing to do at work i get so fucking bored
Eli Evans
what's your job?
Joshua Jackson
No, I occasionally have friendly conversation with my coworkers but that is really it.
what about my post suggests that I am a neet? I am trying to learn because people often assume that I am a neet even when I dont talk about my employment status.

If Jow Forums is to be observed, they get by with a chronic porn addiction.

Seriously, go do TAFE. Apprenticeships come easy once you're in a course. Just be diligent and healthy and you'll make good money.
Social skills and confidence are learned, they're not a requirement to do well as a tradie but will improve almost every aspect of your life.

stimulants are the only way for autist ADD fags

That's because intelligence and hyper-competence don't mean anything in the real world. All that matters is 1. Showing up 2. Being just competent enough 3. (Most importantly) Being an agreeable dicksucker who never questions anything or stirs anything up.
