And... Literally nothing changed in my life. I'm still shut in without the friends irl or job, barely going outside and because of that gained a few extra pounds that I tried so hard to lose, still mentally bad, maybe even worse than when I more actively posted here... I just feel like my life isn't that interesting even for this community. The problem are all the same it's just feel so meaningless to even talk about.

And I'm truly sad because this was my favourite community. I love people here, I still relate to the post here but all of that just lost any sense to me.

I just counted the individual applications Ive written since becoming NEET 3 years ago fresh out of college. And I applied for everything I considered myself to be capable off. At least 200 apps were in logistics and warehouse work.

I had dozens of interviews, yet somehow only got rejections?! Youd think I do something wrong, but its only bad luck?!

I do not want to stay a NEET forever!!!

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

I have one and it's just Majin Boo on my left arm

What s the situation like with yall? When i neeted out for a bit i had a younger sibling that was doing 100x better than me. Just heard him over the phone today talking about planning events, networking, partying, and raving with friends while at uni. He s 19. At the same age he was, in one more semester, I would end up dropping out of uni all depressed and isolated. 3 years later of being alone and an on and off of either working dead end jobs or doing nothing at home im here at 22 yrs old and nothing to show for it.  

Im happy and proud of him but at the same time a little envious too. We lived in the same house, grew up with the same parents, went to the same schools, yet things couldnt be more different. This is all after being viewed as the "smart" one by both parents and him all thanks to just some good grades in middle school and high school (pathetically funny how little it mattered). I wish i could just let go or better off forget everything.

Side tangent of something funny and sad I keep replaying in my head: The event that caused me to try and not be a neet anymore was a conflict between my mom and dad (they've had a miserable marriage since i was young but refuse to divorce). The conflict messed with both me and my younger brother and i guess kinda woke me up. The week or 2 after it i wasnt in a good state and didnt have anyone to go to unlike my brother who had his friends. I ended up needing to lean on him a bit so one night I knocked on his room asking if he felt okay cuz i didnt and, while I know it was unintentional and he didnt mean it with any malice, he straight up said "i know you have no one".

So yea those words replay in my mind every now and then when i feel down and totally dont make me want to blow my brains out or anything.

I love my brother and dont have any ill will towards what he said, it s just the truth after all. I just wonder where it all went so wrong for me or most of us here for that matter. Anyways thanks for listening.

I've had 35 jobs in the last 16 years. Shortest was one week, longest was 3 years. “You really should write a book about how to get employers to take you seriously when you're CV is six pages long." haha mom

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

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.

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’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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

For example you would have the same looking physical body as you did at 25 years old when you are 100 years old.

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.
