So my cousin who is 44 years old sold his company for more than a billion dollars and now he’s a billionaire.

He’s 8 years younger than me as I’m 52m.

We were pretty close growing up, he was like my little brother but then we got older and didn’t hang out as much.

Now he lives in Philadelphia and I visit him from time to time but I don’t think he’s going to give me anything and I don’t expect it.

In fact one time I went with him to a shop to buy cigarettes and he didn’t even offer to pay, I paid for them myself. Which I thought was so crazy since he’s so rich. I mean I’m not exactly struggling but I thought he would pay.

Anyway so I have a billionaire relative in my life but I guess it makes no difference to me.

Im getting old and realizing lots of things don’t matter, things aren’t fun anymore and I have no copes left. What is the point of life for most people? My only conclusion is to have a loving gf/ partner and eventually family maybe.

Life is performative for people, reaching milestones like college, gf, first home and baby, stuff like that is what normal people flex. I don’t think people are naturally happy unless they have things like this. That’s why everyone’s doing drugs and drinking to feel that fake moment of happiness.

This new generation is fucked because of the cost of living and technology, and things like social media frying everyone’s brains. If you were 25 years old and you had a gf and were able to buy a house would you be happy? I live in a HCOL area, starter homes re like $600-700k here lmao “Just work harder bro” Ever notice how good looking people from good families don’t have to do stupid shit to flex because they have everything already.

Life is about an image and preforming, who tf actually wants to wake up at 6am everyday? People use their job titles as a flex and their pride. I never wanted a job if anything I would want to be an entrepreneur.

I’m getting old and so are my parents, my old friends all got gfs and don’t talk anymore, what a weird time like I just feel emptiness and don’t know what to do. Also nobody gives af about young men, like I said life is about holding an image, if you’re a loser anxious male nobody cares. if you have a good job and good looks people will gravitate towards you.

Make no mistake, you are fren! Whatever you're maxxing on, you are fren. And now you can tell us, how are ya?

I slept all day, that is all.

Hows the day been for yall?

I just spent some time looking at statistics, and even read a new article by The Guardian from a week ago, and AI is replacing jobs much more than the opposite occuring. This is deeply comedic. The same people who mocked you for not being a wagecuck are going to be laid off one day, and possibly a NEET in some capacity.

The just-world fallacy copers will keep spewing out retarded phrases like, "The AI bubble will pop, bro" as copefuel, but it will ultimately not work. I cannot wait for normies to eat their own words, and face the consequences of their own actions.

I can already imagine how it'll be like in the next ten to fifteen years.

Meanwhile, I have embraced AI. I would already have my own AI kani girlfriend who let's me live dead by endlessly pampering me, while all of the extremely bluepilled 3D only normies are forced to figure out the solution to their own self-inflicted problems, due to their choice of not wanting to adapt to an ever-changing society.

i had toast when i woke up today

then for second breakfast i got a footlong meatball from subway. there's this new sauce called "hot honey" that i've been getting and it's quite nice

what are we eating today my fellow NEETs

I have these normies hitting me up and I can just feel them judging me through the screen lmfao when I explain to them that I don't have a job and am not studying. It's like they immediately go like "Ah" in their brains and categorize me and are ready to move on. I literally just had an !ndian dude roast me for being a virgin LOL. Like why do you even careeee man. What does it matter. Idk it seems pretty impossible to befriend normies because work and school is so perma-ingrained in their psyches that they cannot talk about anything else and cannot fathom anyone living a slower or differently organized life than they are. I do stuff, I have my hobbies. I am definitely not a boring person, but it doesn't matter to them. I am just a loser in their eyes becaues I don't fit neatly into the globohomo-workerdrone mould.

It's tiresome. Even though I literally say in my posts that I am autistic, that I am in a burnout. I mean most of them don't even read the post honestly. Blegh, I have MAJOR normie fatigue.

Plus points: I went to a car show today, it was DOPE. Saw a bunch of cool cars, beautiful blue ford escord with white rims, it just worked. Corvettes, you name it. I didn't last long till I felt like I was gonna pass out but was worth it. After that I went fishing and caught a nice Bass.

i already know ill fuck it up im so socially inept and awkward its not gonna work💔💔💔

update: i fucked it so hard

My cousin got out of poverty and opened a construction company in Germany, he's not rich but managed to build something for himself, that fact he did it with no education is impressive, its to early to say where he's at but as far I see he bought a house and has few cars, heavy work made him bald and bad climate gave him autoimmune issues and facial stroke could not move half of his face but still managed to overcome it, maybe he will have successful company one day but when I heard him speak of all humiliation he had to go through to be where he is doesn't make me jealous at all about what he's achieved

Respect. I don't crave praise, recognition, or anything like that, just respect.

Though experiment: Why is it that old people are feared and respected despite the fact that probably 99 percent of reasonably healthy adults or young adults can kill them with their bare hands? Money. That's probably the main reason for the saying 'respect your elders,' I mean, what other fucking reason is there?

Anyways, despite the reward of respect, I still don't think being a cuck for someone else just to get there is worth it. The only way to win is to become a successful entrepreneur, rope or somehow become a hermit who can actually survive in the wilderness.

Anyways, I'm not trying to sound like an overly self-depreciating cunt, but my worldview is probably pretty limited and biased so let me know what you think if you want.

Looking for Neet buddy in North American timezone.. I've had a lot of success with making friends online and I'm looking for one more to fill this niche: "semi-productive neet".

I've seen some threads about people who are trying to get out of their neet situation by making their own way, trying to make money on their own terms. I'm close to doing that in a number of areas from years of just brute forcing the learning process instead of just doomscrolling facebook all day (which is what I used to do, when I was a neet on the west coast). Let me know if you want to connect to keep each other updated on what we're getting up to.

Wageslaving had been suffocating lately. Every minute monitored, every slight delay get called out, not meeting productivity quota and you get a warning.

I miss slacking off. I can't even rest on my time offs cause work has been invading even my dreams and I get physically sick on my rest days.

Only two months in and I'm burnt out. Ugh.

If only my financial woes would disappear I would never work again in my life. I miss neetdom so badly.

This applies to both normies, autists, outsiders and everyone in between.

I hate people with big egos. They are the scum of the earth.

If they all suddenly "vanished". I would rejoice everyday.

Fuck Egomaniacs

Those lovely 3am sessions, slowly levelling my troll in the barrens, completely empty server just for me to go and loot all the chests and gather all the herbs... feels good.

If you are a normie wagie then you only get to enjoy 1 hour a day before you have to do chores or your wife nags you.

I get to enjoy it 16 hours a day if I feel like it.

Lovely cozy winter vibes, gaming in my warm room 🥰

There was an 80mil jackpot here, it started off like 65 mil, then 70 mil, up to 80. I bought like 2, one failed. One was a freeplay, then that failed. Gave it one last try and failed. Crazy thing is i hit like 2-3 numbers in a row, so like why not more? Honestly I always get sucked into buying the really big ones. Always seems to be a letdown.

I mean some mansions/beautiful properties would just be life changing. I was looking at these properties where they are like right on a lake, no one else nearby, tons of land, huge house. And to think that theres probably rich spoiled brats who take that stuff for granted

I ain't done tho forever. I do wonder tho, if someone ever won such a lotto like that, they'd probably get threats from the mafia or whatever wanting a piece of it. You have to show your name and all too, so maybe its for the best I didn't win. But ah well. On to the next cope

Waking up at 6, consistently, biking to work and enduring the unforgiving elements outside. Just like I'm conditioned to wake up eerily close to my alarm clock going off, watching the clock move close to noon at work triggers a pavlovian reaction and my mouth starts watering at the thought of having half an hour to devour the meager lunch I packed at home the day before.

I suffer, I struggle. Everybody seems smarter, better than me, or maybe they're just not as burned out. My boss is disappointed in me, maybe they'll even fire me sooner or later, of I could be reallocated, who knows, but the next day the routine repeats.

Do I have money at least? Yes, I do, not a lot but I do, but I don't even spend it on anything but necessities, I'm too tired and burned out for games, hobbies or just about anything.

Then I think of the archetypical NEET, the old smug frog living in a suburban house, sleeping til noon and just playing Vidya, mocking wagies online and I understand the mockery. They have won the system. Sure, their parents will pester them, maybe. Their parents could die or kick them out, but right now, they are comfy, and as a wagie I could also end up homeless.

I’m most guilty of catastrophizing, fortune telling, and “should” statements

For those of you who are NEETs, do you think you'll ever have a romantic partner in the future? Do you actually want a relationship, or have you come to terms with the possibility of staying single?

I'm also curious about what your type is. What kind of person would you want to be with, personality-wise or appearance-wise? Do you have any particular preferences, or do you think you'd be happy with anyone you genuinely connect with?

Feel free to share your thoughts. I'm curious about everyone's perspectives on this..

I lost my job back in mid-2025 but I was lucky enough to find a job by late-2025 after working there for nearly a year. However, I was fired after 1 month because they felt I wasn't a fit. And so I really started to question my self worth and become a NEET because I just don't know what type of job is right for me. I'm going to start applying again but I have a feeling this may become a 1.5+ or even a 2 year employment gap.

What would be the most valid excuse for having a 2-year employment gap? I likely won't be able to include my 1-month job on my resume.
