feel you OP, I'm in the exact same situation except I have a regular day/night pattern. I find that being aeale during the day really helps with keeping depression away.

Also, I recommend going on daily 60 min morning walks preferably on a fasted stomach (I do OMAD so this is not an issue for me but you do you). It really does wonder for you figure and again, fresh air helps keep depression away. Especially now during spring when everything is turning green, it's super comfy. Can also listen to audiobooks while walking and learn shit because I don't know about you but I sure as fuck don't read books. Anyway, just my 2 cents good luck.

Not disagreeing, but what about every other person who wakes up at 40 and realises they are trapped in a life they wish to escape from every single day. All you have to do is look at facebook, people complaining about Monday all the time, and even renaming Friday to 'Friyay'. Why? Because working SUCKS DICK. And 99% of people work unfulfilling jobs that they would willingly fuck off if they won the lottery.
That's not to mention the human race will likely be obliterated in a (relative to the universal timeline) very short amount of time and the greatest of human achievement will be completely forgotten about. At the end of the day, all we can do is that which makes life the most bearable and try to maximise the amount of time we feel 'happy', whatever that means.

Of course if you have found a job that really gives you purpose and feel is helping advance humanity and really isn't just pretending you're not completely replaceable and in the grand scheme of things it wouldn't matter if you disappeared tomorrow, then great I am glad for you.

I think one thing people never look at is their level of conscientiousness. People who possess a higher level of it will get no enjoyment out of the neet life. Working makes them happy. Chilling and partaking in neet activities dont. And its the inverse for people wirh low levels of conscientiousness.. Like me, i have none, and having a job or even a business would be a drag.

Conscientious, not conscious. Conscientious people by definition get pleasure from doing good work. And if they aren't doing anything then they feel guilty.

>> No.8930167

>>8930102

From Wikipedia. You can see how this strengthens my argument?

Conscientious individuals are generally hard-working and reliable. They are also likely to be conformists.[2] When taken to an extreme, they may also be "workaholics", perfectionists, and compulsive in their behavior.[3] People who score low on conscientiousness tend to be laid back, less goal-oriented, and less driven by success; they also are more likely to engage in antisocial and criminal behavior.

I had a NEET phase after I graduated.
I was severely depressed, more than I've ever been, but I also, paradoxically, enjoyed it greatly.

The depression was driven by my money worries more than anything.

I'd start the day with some physical (hit the gym or hill sprints), go get lunch/breakfast, head home and do something productive until I got hungry (I remember towards the end I was learning Japanese and Python on alternating days. Just two skills I'd always wanted to have), I'd make dinner and spend the evening doing typical NEET shit (I watched a lot of kdramas and read a lot of VNs).

I saw my friends occasionally, got my current girlfriend (of ~5 years).

For someone like me, it was a genuinely comfy existence when I wasn't thinking about the money. As depressed as I was, it's corporate wagecucking that's driven me (and a lot of my friends) to drug use.

Same here. Work is my social life.

I'm an introvert and I have social anxiety, but I still go kind of crazy when I isolate myself too much. When I was a NEET for 2 years, I lost the small amount of confidence and social skills that I had. Going back to work last year helped me get it back. My coworkers are the closest things to friends I'll ever have.

If you're white, you've been handed the greatest task a man can be given, that of saving his own kind from extinction.

Think of the glory that awaits you if you're one of the men who saves the race.

Tfw enjoy financially supporting parents and traveling to grorious nippon once a year too much to break out of current shitty programming job.

The amount of time I spend with people my age in person is dreadfully low.
At least I have no debt, I guess.

You won't be laughing after your parents pass away. Who's going take care of you after that? Your siblings?

This. Many people do miserable work just so they can make enough money to slack off later. I am one of these people.

Truthfully, being a NEET without massive amounts of money sounds miserable to me. True, you get to dictate how you spend your time, but most of it will be spent trying to save a meager amount of money and not trying to starve to death. Or, you are leeching off parents/friends, which just makes you feel like a complete failure. Would rather work a ton and be average than be a complete loser.
