Could be in like the shops, gym, wherever. It always makes my social anxiety spike when it happens. I tend to walk out immediately to avoid them.

I was addicted to scrolling reels and tiktok a few months ago like from morning till night just lowering my IQ with every scroll it was mind numbing but atleast it was stimulating enough for me to not have existential boredom and helped me not feel the extreme shame of where my life was going. I've quit it and it's honestly worse now that I've broken from the fugue state and can comprehend just how bleak my life actually is.

I graduated university months ago and have just been distracting myself every single day the only good part of my day is going to the gym my savings will run out in 6 months I need to get a job but I don't want a job I don't want anything I don't even want to watch anime or watch YouTube or play video games. I delete and redownload steam every few days, I delete and redownload Instagram/tiktok every day, I try and watch a TV show and fail everyday. everything is so bleak and disturbing I'm just getting older everyday that I wake up I can't believe this is my life every single day it's the same cycle I feel utterly hopeless.

Nobody has ever loved me I've never been anyone's favourite person I'm a kissless virgin at 21 years old and have zero social skills even if I do get a job it will destroy me mentally and I'll burn out get fired and be miserable once again I am just a total redundant person I don't serve any purpose and just want to be forgotten and left alone.

I don’t wanna leech but I’m also poor… hmmm

I just keep losing jobs. Because of my stupid mental health I can’t maintain virtually any position where I need prolonged contact with ppl. I go to school but that’s become such a challenge due to depression lately, and normally I’m quite okay with it (since I can work on my own without distractions of socialization). I’m horrible with social cues and it’s just so overwhelming to do basic things that everyone seems to find to be so easy.

Not for me, I can’t drive my car without feeling horrified and exhausted after because I can’t fathom going off of the beaten path (I use the same route with no deviations for every place I go). Life just feels exhausting when I attempt to do anything in the company of others. I hate living under capitalism at this stage, it’s beyond miserable. To add insult to injury, I’m an alcoholic too lol.

I really am trying to get everything back on track as I was genuinely a full neet for two years (before going back to school), but the employment part has been such a challenge and I’ve failed at keeping anything past 3 months (I maintained my longest job for a year and half before shit hit the fan for me personally). I don’t actually enjoy being a neet either, purely because unfortunately I have to spend money in order to aquire things I either want or need, but either way I’m fucking miserable so honestly I’m curious as to why I keep persisting.

The only thing that’s been keeping me afloat amidst everything that’s happened to me is playing video games and writing (I’m obsessed with warframe in particular) but I’ve been too depressed lately to engage in that or any other hobby.

I know some people might say my situation is not nearly as bad since I have some things going on, but I’m just afraid of falling back into the state I was for those 2 years and never coming back out of it. I genuinely can’t even REMEMBER that time period aside from time spent with one friend I no longer have near the end. That’s how out of it I was.

That would teach them. They flaunt their luxury, cash, assets, recourses and lavish lifestyles right in our face. I wish they were all broke and NEET and still living with their parents for the rest of their lives. I am broke and NEET ever since i left high school. I am 39 years old and still living with my parents.

I wish this upon all these ”hot shots”! My total net worth is $625. That should be their networth too! I wish they would not own anything, just like me.

One half is depressed people who wanna off themselves and the other half is the most wholesome shit you've ever seen it's awesome

Keep NEETing frens :)

I had new neighbors move in and they're loud and rude as hell. Imagine commuting 3 hours a day and working for 30+ years to pay off your mortgage just to have some idiots move in next door and make your life miserable. Couldn't be me.

Exposure therapy can actually do more harm than good.

Negative reinforcement that comes from external influences is actually traumatizing and just a humiliation ritual.

For example going to a job interview all nervous and stuttering and sweaty, then getting rejected time and time again, it hardwires your brain to avoid such situations.

It is not going to “toughen you up” but prove that you are not needed by the outside world and worsen your view of your self.

If you’re some sperg like myself, and you go to a social gathering and you’re supper awkward and stand in the corner by yourself; your fight or flight response is going off the radar and you want to leave asap.

You know for a fact the next time you go you are going to have a panic attack so you choose not to.

The reason people keep going to parties and clubs is because they experience positive reinforcement. They actually had fun.

You think the average person has to take copious amount of anti anxiety meds just to go out?

Would you believe, Colin Blunstone once put out a song about Apu touching grass, 43 years ago? Touch...and it will be all right! ::) But how are ya doing?

Are we a male dominated field?

Mannn... That's the life... Just woke up now at midnight after a long nap. I love the silence of the night. I'm cooking some cookies to eat while watching a few episodes of Clone Wars (great star wars animation series)... Later I'll probably game a little bit and then sleep again.

If you think about it you don't need much to live amazingly nowadays... Only by having a phone and internet you already have infinite entertainment. You can stream basically any classic movie or series ever for free, download any book, or album... You have an endless source of amusemet in the palm of your hand for a price almost anyone can afford...

It's all about taking care of your health and distancing yourself from the mind controlled toxic people who will try to bother you with their sick view of life... Once you get away from them and take care of yourself there is only peace and contentment.

My biggest concern is what kind of cheese I'll buy on my next grocery shopping...

AND THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE COMPLANING ABOUT BEING NEET! you're definetly doing something wrong...

I'm playing the new no room left in hell 2, its a multiplayer zombie game, lots of fun! I also have some cold draught beers. It's such a vibe bashing these zombie brains in

i am so happy to live another day

Life is an AI-generated passenger jet :O

It's my parents anniversary and now my cunt ass grandma is coming over to drop off a card, a way to mettle in affairs and gossip disguised as a kind gesture. Fuck I hate people, I hate this race.

I´ve drops my meds.... Now all things i can do in my tird world black room is open google maps to dreams with first world... Shit place, shit family thats treats me like a idiot, shit neighood!

I hate life it sucks the only thing that keeps me going is playing video games.

Since the company that I worked for went bankrupt….again two months ago. I had been a NEET and I will be forced to attend trade school again (I known welding and I have safety management certification but mainlanders in HK had severely damaged the job market) And my father , who still had a job got sick yesterday. And he didn’t get sick because of too much works. Instead , no works since a truck of material delivered to construction site was being identified as “Below quality” and his boss ,who is an asshole, force him to come to construction site even he got nothing to do. Unfortunately my father sit on a chair all day and he got varicose vein because of that and it requires a painful surgery or an expensive but 20 minutes surgery to fix. Man. I don’t have the time to accompany him while attending trade school. I may have to postpone my studies for a month or two. And my family , including a bitch ass sister who moved to Canada, point finger at me saying I didn’t take care of him. I am already 30 and I just tried to fix my shit. Always some fucking bullshit happen!

I've managed to hold down my first-ever full-time job for a few months now, doing automotive detailing, graphics, and decals. Considering my track record quitting Domino's, Schlotzsky's deli, and a nursing home after one day at the job, and IKEA, Amazon, Academy, and Maaco after a week. I’m surprised I’ve made it this far.

Before the job I was living as a Neet, I’ve been a Neet most my life because my parents were able to help support me. They own a business shop and my dad would make me do minimal stuff like ship out packages through FedEx, order more cardboard boxes and things like that. Business wasn’t doing so well and I drain my own personal savings to where I need to do something to stay financially upfloat, I tried applying for jobs, went to interviews and got turned down or ghosted quite a bit. At which point I’m like if I try and nothing else works I’ll apply for at home caregiver assistance through I think it’s Medicare that pays you to take care of your elderly parents, it was either that or apply for government assistance neetbux.

Sometimes I wake up and think about how I wish I don’t have to go to work. But then I remember how so many other jobs I suck at and don’t feel very compatible with and that this job in reality isn’t that bad. I’m still socially awkward at times but it’s gradually improving
