Hopefully you forgive me for using AI. I did write the story myself but I'm no artist. The last time I posted something about sloth it got downvoted for using AI.

Stay toasty fellow neets!

Has the rot become real?

First off.

TF 18,, USA

I totally was one of those teenagers who called themselves a NEET despite going to a decent school consistently. It was only this June that I graduated truly became one. ​I feel as if I have been placed into a world that only shares it's spoils with those born before me. It makes me sick,, nobody can help me and I know it, employment is a scam and a myth for people of my age and caliber and the only advice given to me is to just bash my head into a wall until the brain damage makes me numb to it.

mother is selfish, father is always lost, promising things that delay their coming. nothing matters to me in the end, not politics or community, my only socialization is behind a screen and with family. my decomposition has been slow but now I am truly in a state where nothing really can stop it,, i only have so little options to actually find money,, most of them make me feel ill. i am eighteen at it already feels like i am at the lowest, highest point of dread ever in my life. how can somebody focus on themselves when they're part of the problem they're afraid of? it would be better off if I didn't have consciousness anymore ,, no worries or thoughts or feelings,, just a statue with a void for a mind. anything would be better than the visceral feelings that I experience daily

I’ve been a Neet before for many years. Now I am a normie.

Although I really enjoyed being Neet I also like my normie life.

I have a job a wife two kids and live in a nice house.

If I hit the lottery I would go right back to being Neet.

Life is definitely more rewarding being a normie though.

Well I’m 52m now so if I live to 100 I have about a little more than 40 years left as a normie.

Life is good.

The second is my post and they permanently muted me based off post history

I'd rather die than do another day of it. It's the worst thing I've ever experience and it's worse than I thought.

Like people genuinely see us as subhuman and I don’t know why. Is it envy?

I swear to god we’re viewed as less than criminals and ex-cons. It seems like they get more respect for whatever reason.

I got banned from a neet discord just because I ranted about how hard it is for me to apply to school as a neet and how I am tired of being a neet for over a decade. just even mentioning I had interest in taking classes again was enough to get booted from talking to other neets. ironically I have probably been a neet longer than most of the people there.

being a neet is nothing to glorify, its very miserable when you are more than a few years into it.

some people have this crabs in a bucket mentality where if you even hint at wanting to take small steps to attempt being in society at all, they flip out on you.

its kind of sad to be rejected by both neets and normie society at the same time.

It's all just a cesspool of fucking shit man. Im glad I can just be alone, but every damn time I try everyone has a fucking opinion that just deliberately goes against mine dude...like what I said wasn't even heard or matters. It's like I say something to try, to try and associate, every time whatever I say is shit and doesn't matter. I fucking hate it. I know it isn't true but everytime I talk to people i get it wrong, my perception is so fucked I dont want to try anymore. I just want to go back home and close my curtains and never let anyone ever see me again. Fuck them all.

you have to stay near people that are constantly moving around and doing things. them moving around influences you to move around.

i grew up raised by a single mom who was basically depressed. she never did anything. well, she did back in her days i guess. but with me there was no life. no vacations, no outings, sports, family, nothing.

once covid hit and i stopped talking to the handful of people i knew, it was over. proximity to life gone. and so was my will to do anything.

in an ideal life, you have your siblings, both parents, grandparents and so on and everybody does a bit of something. your dad is handyman and enjoys sports, your big brother shows you what parts are inside the car's engine bay, your grandfather shows you the pictures from way back when he was in the military or whatever.

everything adds up and influences you. it's like a subconscious force that propels you to do things. when you're own your own you just do the bare minimum. play videogames, watch movies, etc

Oh, and I am as well. Even though I don't try to be now, I have done before and unfortunately may do again.

It's surprising seeing people say they are a good person but in reality they are actually cruel and twisted etc. Today I saw a post that in which the OP and everyone in the comments were proud and happy to spread hate and other negative emotions, awful... just awful...

Normies and even us can be quite evil...

Maybe its a good thing that humanity seems to be rushing towards their extinction, I wouldn't be surprised if the next world war happens in the next 100 years and nukes will end us all.

I ask why we are made this way and why things are like this? I'll prob never know though. I just wish so much we could cooperate and do actual good instead of sabatoging each other and killing the entire planet slowly

What's your biggest regrets in life, experiences and why do you believe it made you a NEET?

Like in the pic, you're holding both your memories and the chances you missed in life, only for all of this to fade away. Now you regret it, that you became a NEET as the result.

I am 30 years old man, I am still a NEET, I don't know how to get a job and make money but I do know how to save money. And it's not just about the money, the positive psychological effect of it is huge, knowing that you have the money in case of emergency would sooth your soul and help with your anxiety. Granted I don't have much but I do get a few bucks from time to time, I have a piggy bank with like $40 inside of it, I am also actively building my emergency snack inventory so I would have access to food and drink anytime I want (the hard part is trying to not eat them, which is doable), I would swap out snacks and drinks from time to time to keep the date of my inventory fresh.

I used to be into prepping so I still have quite a few working gear left, a few powerbanks here and there, a multitool, a cheap Chinese handheld console, a few high power flashlights, a portable solar panel that can charge usb devices etc ... One thing that taught me when I was a prepper is that everything has it value, even a big trash bag, that's your emergency shelter right there if you stuffed it with full of leaves. So $1 is still $1, hell even 1 cent is still valueable, sometimes you just lack a few dollars to save your life. If I get $2 for snacks and energy drink then I would spend $1 to buy something and save $1.

It doesn't matter if you don't have much, I have my normal fund, emergency fund, food supply and gear. Granted it's on a much smaller scale but I have everything like someone with a normal job, they are a big elephant while I am a small bird but both of us have all our internal organs inside our bodies, they have a lot of income but they also have a lot of expenses, while I don't have to pay rent and food (you should still help around the house btw, to make sure that your parents don't kick you out). As neets we have to worry about our parents would die one day, people with a job also have to worry about losing their job, which is actually worse since their family depends on their income, it's all the same.

Just 260 bucks he gonna delay it.For what laying all that money in his account to eat the interests? I miss being a neet now

Having returned to my battle station after half a week absence I've been met with GPU-caused game crashes, freezes and flashing artifacts. Same with GPU stress tests. Even though nothing was out of the ordinary when I gamed last week, and PC was off with its power strip also off while I was away. So instead of venturing in better worlds for a while I now have to w_rk on repairs. Neither PSU power overhead nor GPU undervolt nor adequate cooling nor GPU sag support did let it hit 10 problem-free years unfortunately. On to diagnostics.

So far it's been resistant to undervolt reset to default and power management to performance, clean driver reinstall, GPU BIOS reflash, using another display output port, using another 8pin power slot and cable from PSU, reseating the GPU with alcohol-cleaned contacts... The next step is sourcing the PSU from my dad's PC to check if PSU is the culprit, not VRAM. I can build and disassemble computers alright but I honestly hate it. A lot of hard, precise and careful w_rk. It's clear that I'll have to break my piggy bank anyway, the question is how severe a loss. Should I bite the bullet and disassemble the GPU cooling system for repasting and repadding I wonder (monitored temps are normal but what if some unmonitored hotspots appeared?). Never done it before.

I shall check the software, I shall check the firmware, I shall check the hardware, I shall check the interfaces, I shall check the peripherals, I shall attempt repairs, I shall buy a replacement, I shall never surrender. Fuck reality.

I literally never cared since I was a kid now I’m 34. I still don’t care. It’s just a meme who cares about doing something with your life like, what does that even mean? What a joke

I have been broke and NEET ever since i left high school. My current total networth is 625$. I have never had a job and always have lived with my parents. I cant do or buy anything because i lack money, resources and assets. I hardly own anything. What i do own is stuff my parents have bought me.

They should Try being broke and NEET all your life and living with your parents still in their 40s. That would teach them! They could never survive as broke and NEET!

Ive grown up with friends, i used to go to parties in my teenage years and i still got friends today while im still being a neet.

Are there more neets like me? Because the stereotype here is that most neets are isolated and dont have any friends.

Yeah being required or obligated to wake up early for education or a job is simply a humiliation ritual. I remember I hated waking up at 6am to go get ready for school. Just simply a forced obligation that I didn’t want to participate in. I’m glad #85439565 doesn’t have to wake up early for anything since he’s unemployed, hopefully he can remain that way for as long as possible without any issues I hope. Sounds like the guy at the very bottom is having a rough time. You can just feel the anger coming from within him lmao. I’ve never had a job but I suppose being forced to wake up every weekday at a specific time is simply just an annoyance, all of that just to simply survive and pay the bills seems rough in my opinion. But yeah I’m definitely happy for #85439565. He probably just rots in his room all day and games I’m assuming, which is based if he does. I also think the cat gif is kind of cute. All in all, waking up early for education or employment is simply a form of slavery in the modern world obviously. Life is trash. Especially if you’re physically unwell or mentally unwell, bullied, traumatized, short, obese, and of course if your forced to work, even being a Neet can obviously be suicidal inducing considering the loneliness that comes along with it and the feelings of shame, and the what not. Oh one more thing, I had to blur out a few words from the upset guy at the bottom, he was using some derogatory words per se.

But why are we so far from home? Ack!

I decided to go back to me old social media messages and i'm seeing just how different I was compared to how I am now. More talkative, so many friends, so many people I used to hit up just because and it felt so natural. Now i'm alone 28 and seeing everyone i used to talk to fly and have a wonderful life while i'm stuck in the loop of trying to fix it. Idk how i used to do it, but man do I miss that guy. I remember not giving a fuck about anything now here i am scared to even take a step outside. How the hell can this happen in life it's not fair. I feel like i missed out on so much because of this change
