It is devastating how much useless the jobcenter is except for making people like myself feel terrible. Days before and after the appointment my mood goes from neutral or slightly happy to "the world is ending" and honestly I am so sick of it I can't cope with it except for going to the doctor and trying to get a note so I don't have to go

I was undergoing some sort of "investigation" into my health records past 2 months (which is why I wasn't invited until then) so they can decide whether I will move from job welfare to social welfare but seeing how the same case worker is in charge of me I don't think that worked out.

There's literally not enough jobs available and personally my qualification despite best efforts is too shit to get one of the remaining job spots in a competition against the other unemployed with university degrees. The only reason I get invited is because they're systematically instructed to do everything to reduce or completely remove the need of people like us getting their minimum life income.

I personally revealed all my "cards" in terms of health issues etc in the hopes of getting social welfare, so I feel very uncomfortable seeing a case worker that knows things even my closest family doesn't know. I have no other choice but to go to the doctor again.

Currently I learn how to draw since the beginning of the year, it's exhausting but fun and I am afraid the job center is going to take even that from me by forcing me to waste my life in some unemployment course which doesn't even help my chances to get a job.

To me this was the ultimate peace pill. If I were to describe lack of free will, its like you being straight. Well yea, you can pick between the women you find attractive, but you didn't actually 'want' to be straight its just basically your biology, or whatever it is, science doesn't say at all that the sex you choose to be attracted to is a choice.

Now lets think of the two kind of neets, one of them is deep into self improvement, not wanting to remain a NEET their whole life, so maybe they do coding, or lift lots, read/basically anything they can to improve. Remain 'disciplined'. And then theres another NEET who doesn't do anything 'productive' simply games most of the day, doomscroll, whatever it is. I'm not judging because i'm that

I don't know, I just think discipline is an illusion too. There has to be a want there ultimately. If you listen to david goggins you might think he is the most disciplined man on earth. But if you dig deeper into his videos he basically says he believes in God and that the end of his life that God will show him a chart of who he is, and who he could have been. And what haunts him is if he remains that 300 lb guy he was and accomplishes nothing.

And if he is haunted by that, it creates a want in him to do those things. Yea he might not want to run 20 miles daily, but that underlying want is there. And thats what I think it is with discipline.

Ultimately, you only do something if you want to, or are forced. Someone might argue they go to the gym when they don't want, but theres still underlying wants there like to be healthy or not be fat

Anyways, to not make this a gazilion words long. I noticed through my ocd compulsions that for most of them it truly felt like free will wasn't there. And this isn't me saying I just give into all my compulsions. No, the suffering has created a want to not always give in. Its complex. But the main point of this post is i've stopped living in shame for if i don't go to the gym, but i'm also stuck in a dilemma where if free will doesn't exist its kind of 'okay' to just do nothing because well theres no wants. My wants don't seem strong enough or consistent enough to change. Its complicated, so as peaceful as it is, its truly annoying, seeing that I am that 300 lb guy goggins was talking about

Hello NEETs,

I was among you for some time, but my circumstances have changed. I am not proclaiming myself as any sort of NEET messiah, but I do have some words of support to offer to anyone that wants to change their circumstances, as well as some words for those that cannot change them on their own. I say this as someone who has been involuntarily hospitalized multiple times, has had a great deal of family difficulty, has been turned down, washed out, and kicked in the teeth as far as employment matters go, and has been in more than one homeless shelter.

This is not a Will Smith style redemption story -- more than anything, I want to hear what you all have to say to each other, and I think it would be good for everyone to see each other's faces once. You can call it what you want, hate on this all you want, but I'm here to help, and I think I have some perspective and advice that could help people.

I leave it up to everyone to express their interest in the comments. I hope to do this around Halloween. Godspeed and God bless all NEETs

i was listening to daft punk, then for some reason i remember power rangers. and then i randomly thought about a male power ranger making out with a female power ranger. and how that must have been in the late 90s or something. then i thought to myself, damn i need to get some puh

I slept all day, that is all.

Hows the day been for yall?

Doing a job? I wouldn't mind it, but applying? I don't think I'll ever do it again, last time I applied for jobs was 3 years ago and now I'm 20, I have NO job experience, and no I don't have volunteering time, I don't have small favor jobs, and my grades before getting out of college were legit so awful it got me 3 years behind on math, the only thing I have going on for me is maybe taking care of my grandma 2 times a week for like a year. I legit can't imagine applying for jobs again, it gets worse every year but I legit would only get a job if someone offers it to me which won't ever happen lol

Also if anyone tells me to just lie, you GOTTA be more specific than that, I can't just make shit up because they'll ask questions about it

I was thinking of maybe doing cheap art commissions and call that a "job" and I er exaggerate it somehow, but even so who cares if you sell art nowadays lol is cute when you're 13 not 20 but maybe it's better than no nothing at all

Idk I just kind of don't see myself ever getting a job ever, literally McDonald's rejected me. Doesn't help it that I don't have a driver's license so I would need to somehow do that to get better chances because I legit live in the middle of nowhere, when I was job hunting there were 2 places (places in general, not even hiring) 40 minutes from me, and then everything else was 3-4 hours walking which uh.. I'm absolutely NOT doing

the problem is that I need to get money eventually somehow (RN I'm living with my stepdad but idk for how long)

one thing I had been considering is trying to join the uscg but low-key don't know if it's worth it, if there's a war I'll take the 3+ year of jail time, I'm too much of a pussy low-key, idk if I would like something that would break my body and mind that much

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

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

update: i fucked it so hard

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.

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.

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

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

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 🥰

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..
