That's like a years worth of disability D:

>>9605620
That's not very much.

Post more Nobunas.

Why are you a NEET now? Was it out of choice?

>>9605734
I love Kaguya.

Kanae Itou a shit.

Get a job.

Happiness is relative, you need a low (work) to be able to experience the highs.

Otherwise, enjoy your eventual depression and ruined life.

I don’t normally blog, but I think I might break down hard tomorrow.
Had two months to study for an exam, the last chance I will get before I’m kicked out, I did next to nothing, basically (pseudo-)NEETing it up.
Now, there were assignments that I should have sent to the teacher before tomorrow. These were necessary to be allowed to take the exam. I didn’t do them. Not to mention I would fuck up hard on the exam (again).
I feel very angsty and I’m scared. I’ve been telling myself I should put in the effort for two months now.
Damn.

As of tomorrow I won't be a NEET...

It happens every week...
When the clock strikes midnight the spell is over for me...

That's the sad part of being a half-NEET...

>>9605759
If you weren't retarded you were buy some adderall and cram like every other successful student.

How do people on /jp/ feed and house themselves, or does almost everyone on here live with parents? I'm starting to run low on funds, i need some ideas, since i'm too scared to get a job.

>>9605767

>>9605767
I can’t cram it all in the 12 hours I have left, and it is too late for the assignments. If I weren’t retarded I would have used the sea of time I had to do put in effort, but I appear to actually be retarded, so I didn’t.

>>9605774
Student loans and scholarships while taking online classes from home.

I've got $36k in the bank and $18k in student loan debt.

What anime is the prettiest girl in all of Japan from?

>>9605803
Do you even need to ask?

>>9605749
>Otherwise, enjoy your eventual depression and ruined life.

Still not depressed after 4 years, I think I'm good.

I don't think I could be happier.

Have any BritNEETs considered Open University? Feels like something to do, but I'm not sure if it's a waste of time I could be wasting otherwise.

>>9605803
That is an easy question, there is no contest!

>>9605817
What's the point of lying on an anonymous imageboard?

Nobody is made of steel.

>>9605823
Get a load of this haughty bitch.

>>9605680
I quit my job at Burger King because I was tired of dealing with retards.
>>9605803
It's Nene from Nobuna.

>>9605828
I-I wasn't trying to offend anyone.. please don't yell at me with that kind of language.

>>9605824
I'm not lying, what are you jealous?

Internet media is just great.

>>9605837
FUCK.

YOU.

>>9605842
Please stop lying to yourself.

It hurts to watch.

Black hair is better than blonde.

>>9605795 I have a full ride to college so i'm not worried about that. It's just rather hard to pay for the apt I live in, and food. I eat like once or twice every other day.
Thanks for the reply tho. I'm down to my final 10k

>>9605845

Sorry, you can't drag me down into your depression.

>>9605871
Please.

Just stop it.

>>9605880

Hey, he's the happy NEET and you're a sad fuck.
Maybe you should stop it.

>>9605759
I have to make an interactive Sierpinski Mat due in a few hours. I've only done a drawing on a paper. Hmm.

>>9605896
Will it be bad if you don’t do it, or hand it in late?

>>9605903
Yes. Homework is worth a lot for this particular course. Makes sense I guess.

>>9605823
Is she Japanese, though?

>>9605884
Nobody can be truly happy. Not even Bob Ross could pull it off.

You think you're better than Bob Ross?

>>9605922

I didn't say I was happy, nerd. I'm not a NEET any more, but he is and he said he is happy.
Why can't you just believe him?

>>9605922
Well, I don't have a mortal cancer, so that's a start.

>>9605913
What will you do? Are you going to try still? I have given up but the angst and anxiety is killing me. I feel like worthless shit.

>>9605929
Because I know he's lying and it hurts me personally to watch a fellow /jp/sie wallowing in denial.

Why can't he just be honest with himself?

>>9605784
Is your major bullshit material? If so you might still have a chance.

>>9605922
Why does a German TV channel have English subtitles?

>>9605930
Scientific studies have shown that a person who wins the lottery and someone who becomes paraplegic both share the same level of happiness 6 months later. Cancer is just a distraction.

Nobody on /jp/ can be truly happy. You wouldn't be here if you were.

>>9605948
Why does a Japanese TV channel have English subtitles?

>>9605936
I'm feeling a bit anxious so I can't concentrate. I'll try to vent off a bit and then I'll try my luck and hopefully I'll get it right in a try.

Anxiety is criminally crippling, especially when you are at a critical point, so I understand how you feel. It fucking sucks.

>>9605945
I find it interesting that you used plural their with 'studies'. Do you actually know how many reputable studies support this conclusion? All I've ever seen is one being referred over and over again although in honesty I never bothered to read it. If there's actually a shitload of support then that would definitely be something I should look into then. One study with a small sample means shit when trying to draw such wide conclusions.

>>9605784
It's too late, give up and join us.

lol OP i've been a NEET since may goml

>>9605939
That depends on what you view as bullshit. It’s language. I have only sporadically refreshed the characters, next to no reading up on grammar. No oral training at all. I feel like I want to disappear now.
This isn’t the first time it happened, but it will likely be the last chance.
>>9605948
They’re not subtitles, they’re captions added by the viewer so he could post them with context on the Internet. I also watched Bob Ross on BR Alpha.

>>9605954
Good luck, get to work, please!

>>9605945
I think it's a matter of having a life expectancy that goes beyond those 6 months. You see, the deal with mortal diseases is that you die.

>>9605966
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTO_dZUvbJA&feature=plcp

He cites multiple studies, and you know TED is reliable because moot spoke there once.

>>9605774
Living with parents is generally OK, but you get tired of them bugging you to get a job or go back to college.

>>9605976

I thought I was dying when I woke up this evening.
I physically couldn't open my left eye for about a minute.
Thought I was having a stroke or something.

>>9605961
Let me rephrase my question: Why does a show with English speaking people have English subtitles on a German TV channel?

(I looked it up. It's an educational channel. Looks like they want us to learn about art and English at the same time. How nice of them.)

>>9605976
Breaking Bad and Walt's cancer say otherwise.

>>9605987

Probably for deaf people, retard.

>>9605945
That person who won the lottery sounds like a fucking ingrate.

>>9605987
They’re captions for context the viewer added so he could upload it on the Internet.

>>9605774
How to continue doing what your doing right now without changing your lifestyle while getting paid to do it. Completely legal, and why not? Work hard like a slave and the fruits of your labor are stolen anyway. Why not louse around and do what you want, playing vidya games all day; tons of people are already doing it!

1. Go to
http://www.socialsecurityhome.com/disabilities/mental-disorders
and pick a disability (we all have one; pick one)
2. Get a psychologist to confirm it. Tell him how much a struggle your life is. He will log your sessions.
3. File for disabilities at
http://ssa-custhelp.ssa.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/326/kw/apply%20for%20disability/
4. Wait for approval
5. Approval gotten; enjoy your easy life and monthly checks wired directly to your bank routing #
6. Denied; get lawyer after denial and you will always get your status changed to approved after he works his game. Plus they will pay you for all the back payments they owed you since you were wrongly denied for your disability.
7. Find someplace to live while you wait out the Section 8 housing list.
8. Make sure you've got those food stamps too.
9. Escaped the ZOG and leech back off him.


Continue to lurk all day, watch movies play video games, and live a life of hedonism.

>>9605986
I had that once when I was young. I think it was pink eye but it went away in a day.

>>9605975

Aye aye!

>>9605991
That's an even better answer, but look:
>>9605975
>They’re not subtitles, they’re captions added by the viewer so he could post them with context on the Internet. I also watched Bob Ross on BR Alpha.

>>9605822
No! Use coursera . org
It's free and the courses are done by actually universities so they're actually worth something.
Don't do an open uni course.
Ever.

>>9606002
But I live in a third world country, anon-kun. I'm pretty sure they kill people with disabilities so they stop wasting space. At least I heard.

>>9606002
>2. Get a psychologist to confirm it. Tell him how much a struggle your life is. He will log your sessions.

You do realize seeing a psychologist costs money, right?

There was nothing else wrong with my eye, I just couldn't move the muscles to open it.

>>9605966
"Lottery winners and accident victims: is happiness relative?" is actually a great paper. Very enlightening, you should read it. It was pretty ground-breaking, which is why it's referred to so often.
What that Anon is describing is called "adaptation level theory", and he's fairly spot-on. David G. Myers summed it up like this:
> Thanks to our capacity to adapt to ever greater fame and fortune, yesterday’s luxuries can soon become today’s necessities and tomorrow’s relics.

It's an important idea because it leads to things like the "hedonic treadmill", which is worth looking up. It's probably something you've considered, and it explains why a lot of rich people are miserable even though they've basically won at life.

>>9606008
What I did was just commit a crime and have them put me in Mental Health court

>>9606021
That's dumb. You can literally walk into a hospital, say, "I think I am a threat to myself or others," and achieve the same effect.

>>9606021
make a suicide threat.

>>9606032

This has always baffled me.
Why do they try to stop people from killing themselves?
If they want to, they should be allowed to go ahead.

>>9606002
Step 2 seems like a pain. Don't they have a psych they can appoint to you to make a diagnosis after applying?

I don't think it ever gets better.

Once a loser always a loser.

>>9606047

Moreover, if someone wants to kill themself, why would they go into a hospital and announce it?
Shit's retarded.

>>9606061
Because they’re mentally in a bad state and don’t want to kill themselves but they get thoughts of doing it and at times really do want it, so they ask for help so someone protects them from themselves.

Not that hard to get.

>>9606047
For some reason keeping as many people alive as possible--even if they're suffering--is the moral responsibility of everyone in the Western world. No idea why, we probably took some bit of the Bible too far or something.

>>9606061
Because they don't really want to. And I don't mean this in an attention-whoring kind of way (though that's that too); some people genuinely feel suicidal but also want help. There's also panic, like when people freak out and admit to murder or manslaughter, even though that really isn't in their best interests.

>>9606002
keep up the good work, brother. down with the zionist dogs.


1) don't go outside for 6+ months
2) file for social anxiety telling them how it's crippling and on the form asking you to tell them your daily life describe being a truNEET*
3) tell them you're homebound and need them to mail you to the documents and send a doctor to you
4) stay awake for 48 hours straight before the appointment with the doctor and he'll file a report saying it's legit** cause you're so fucked up
5) get thousands of dollars in back payments without leaving the house and ssi/ssd routed into your checking account
6) have a social worker help you apply for government housing and help with paperwork and shit.***

*the longer you've been disabled the more money you get from back payments and make sure it happened before you turned 18 so you get a % based off your parents income by locking in childrens benefits
**they may try and make a parent your payee. try and avoid that since it means the money is sent to them since they view you as too disabled [try and get your parents to refuse if they're asked, it may be difficulty if they're money grubbing pices of shit, but you can get it changed later]
***they have all sorts of programs to help buy disabled people stuff. they can probably help you furnish your entire apartment depending on where you live

>>9606019
Except it seems some people are inherently less capable of producing this 'synthetic happiness' stuff even if it exists...

Lykken & Tellegen (1996) performed a 10-year, longitudinal, twin study and found that genetic factors have a significant impact on overall level of happiness, specifically that genetic factors may account for at least 44-52% of one's subjective well-being. (wiki)

Well FUCK me. There's a history of depression in my family. I mean I've always had a hunch but haven't looked into much scientific and actual empirical findings.

>>9606047
>Why do they try to stop people from killing themselves?
It's probably because a few religions say that killing yourself is not a good idea.

>>9606090
Oh wow, does step 3 actually work? The fact that I have to go there is what's kept me from ever applying for SSI.

>>9606047
It generally messes with the functioning of the broader society when people kill themselves.

Tends to worry their friends and family you know.

>>9606098
Yes. There are people worse than you. Like, way worse. Not saying this to undermine your problems or make you feel guilty, but what do you think they had to do? It's a very real problem, whether you're simply anxious outside or you're physically sick the second you leave your room.

>>9606098
yes. they bend over backwards if you know how to spin it. tell them you're homebound. it's a special rule for people who are stuck at home because of their dissability and don't function going outside. sometimes they'll try and jerk you around tell you just come down, but it's cause they don't want to do the extra work. they'll mail you the stuff and do everything else over the phone if you insist you can't leave. it may not work if you go for other disabilites and you're active outside a lot and they know you are though. you could just lie and say you've got no money and going through too much psychological difficults to go outside even if they know you're active outside sometimes.

welfaredollars meeting tuesday. stopped taking my antipsychotic and ssri. getting nice and crazy for the interview. i hope i don't do anything stupid Monday because I have to go to my treatment classes.

1.53% of deaths are suicides, according to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. That makes it one of the most common causes of death.

Am I the only person who doesn't like to be a fuss to people? I have no ethical qualms against getting autismbux and whatnot, but things like telling doctors I'm housebound or I want money just doesn't seem feasible to me. I don't want to be the centre of attention or make extra work for everyone because I feel like I'm not quite worth it. In fact I've often overcome anxiety and my own arrangements to travel to appointments and such because I don't want to make a fuss by cancelling, relocating or rescheduling.

Damnit, I’m really starting to freak out now. This is painful. I feel like a pile of shit and I hate myself for it.
This would be less bad if I didn’t live with my parents, I have no idea how I am going to face them. The shame and stress will probably just make me hyperventilate and then… I don’t know what then. I’m losing it and want to disappear.
Sorry for the blogging. I don’t normally blog on /jp/.
(>>9605759)

>>9606144
pop some Benadryl?

>>9606144
Please don't do anything crazy anon, I am sure your parents will be slightly disappointed but they won't hate you or anything. It is best to be honest and admit that you messed up, they are your parents and will always love you.

>>9606144
>This would be less bad if I didn’t live with my parents,
Oh no it wouldn't be. Physical isolation plays a role too, especially when it's getting really bad.

>>9606143
step one: don't go outside for a couple years cause you're actually a real hikikomori
result: you're actually homebound and really need them to send that stuff over mail and do it over the phone cause you've seen less people in two years than fingers on a hand.

when you're an actual shut-in for years at a time and not a part-timer NEET getting money from the governement is how you survive.

>>9606155
I don’t have any of that I think and it wouldn’t help. I only have myself to blame and drugging myself now won’t fix what I am afraid of.

>>9606159
They might not hate me, but I don’t want to face their disappointment and temporary anger again. I’ve been wanting to get out for a while now.

>>9606161
If I would live alone I wouldn’t have to face them.

What stimulants should I get?

Things have gone far enough and I need to do something, anything. I'm thinking about finding myself some Ritalin.

Janitor, don't you think deleting all my posts is a little mean?

>>9606178
>If I would live alone I wouldn’t have to face them.
I know and my post stands exactly as I wrote it.

So, I've noticed that 3D porn no longer gets me off. 2D is much more interesting and allows for more creative freedom. It's just a shame that so little hentai is animated, and even less of that is actually well animated.

>>9606201
Those are some fucked up proportions.

>>9606192
I don’t want to face them because of what I have to confess tomorrow. I would rather be more isolated while not living at their home than that.

>>9606201
A lot of 3D eroge is basically real-time, customizable anime. Go download 3D Custom Girl or Artificial Academy or something.

>>9606209
You're repeating the same thing. What do you think you would be doing after one year of living completely alone?

>>9606201
I don't know. I that can get you off, you can probably get off to just about anything.

>>9606219
That depends on my situation. While I don’t often go outside, I’m not vehemently opposed to that at all. Ideally I would grow a bit of self-discipline due to being responsible for myself, and if I mess up for a bit I wouldn’t have to face my parents.
I’m not saying that I should just get an apartment now and all my problems will be gone. I‘m saying I want out but I know I can’t and this just adds to the angst and anxiety.

>>9606235
I thought the same thing. Animated hentai is terrible.

>>9606178
Take 700mg of DPH. The spiders you hallucinate will make you forget all about whatever is worrying you right now.

>>9606275
is you trolling

>>9606275
I don’t have any such drugs and I wouldn’t do that if I had them.

>>9606290
Yes you do, DPH is benadryl.

Ever /del/ved?

>>9606246
>I would grow a bit of self-discipline due to being responsible for myself, and if I mess up for a bit I wouldn’t have to face my parents.
Could be. I ended up in a downward spiral after moving out because I no longer had to be responsible to anyone and no one could find out about my failures. I had nothing to lose so I did nothing because I didn't want anything. Complete lack of human contact started to make tricks.

>>9606301
>Ever /del/ved?
No.

>>9606309
That sounds plausible… but I’m already an irresponsible slacker. I have been most active the past months when my family was away for a week or two.
It’s too late to save my “academic career” now. I am so fucking nervous I have no idea what to do except for blogging in OP’s thread. Sorry about that, happy OP~

>>9606333
I'm taking it so easy that I haven't even eaten in two days.

>>9606002
Are there any former military that has tried this? Wondering if your service will count against you for the mental disability part.

>>9606410
oh no society im so sorry ;_;

Get a job or kill yourself before you become a burden to society.

>>9606410

I'll just become a hobo then.

>>9606410
Who cares about society? Lord knows they don't care about you...

>>9606420
Angsty teenager detected. Where would you be without society?

>>9606410
Society can suck my cock, dude. They're all just as worthless as me. Whether they work and have a social life makes no difference.

>>9606433
It's funny because that dude is homeless. Oh wait, were you actually trying to be funny? Are you British?

>>9606433
Away from people like you.

OWNED.

how much do you get for autismbux?

>>9606657

If you've never worked it's $698. If you have some work experience it can be higher. If you had a decent job history I think it can be up to like 2k a month.

>>9606773
I would have thought that work experience disqualifies you from mental-disease disability since it would be pretty obvious you're faking it.

>>9606773
That be some disinformation. You can get up to $698 at most, from autism bucks. If and only if you worked long enough and put enough money into the system, then you MAY be eligible for SDSI which may pay up $2k.

These are two different programs.

>>9606779

No. People can get hurt, sick, develop mental illness, whatever at different stages in life, or something that was somewhat manageable becomes unmanageable.

It's all on a case by case basis. Going in and faking it like people say isn't a good idea. Those are the people that usually complain about it being impossible to get disability.

>>9606785

I mentioned that the amount you get is related to work history. How is that disinformation?

Also if you apply before a certain age and your parents made good money you may be eligible for SSDI based on their income.

>>9606801
Becuase the way you're saying it makes it sound like SSI can pay out more if you worked long, when in fact, it's another program entirely that does so. You didn't make this distinction in either of your posts.

>Also if you apply before a certain age and your parents made good money you may be eligible for SSDI based on their income.

Good luck with that. yes, I know it's possible, but go on hold your breath on that one.

>>9606804

When you apply an application is put in for both programs so the distinction is not necessary outside of satisfying someones autism. When I was approved I got a letter stating I was approved for SSDI but no SSI. I have known others getting a letter the other way around.

>>9606817
You're being silly.
It matters greatly to anyone who isn't eligible for SDSI.

>>9606825

Which is not the person with significant work history. Naming the programs isn't necessary to point out that if you have worked you will get more, if you haven't you will get less.

/v/ told me I belong here.

i-is that ok? I don't really like them idiots anyway I just like video games.

>>9606837
You're still being silly.
The way you're phrasing this is intentionally misleading.
When simply noting the distinction between the two programs would have taken no effort at all. You can go on fighting this little battle in order to avoid admitting that you are wrong in this if you'd like. But since we're now just repeating ourselves here, I've had my fill so you'll have to go it alone.

>>9606843

Welcome, no one really likes anyone on /v/.

>>9606843
Most of the Saten fans have been driven away it seems, but yes you are more than welcome to stay here.

>>9606851

>If you've never worked it's $698. If you have some work experience it can be higher. If you had a decent job history I think it can be up to like 2k a month.

How is that silly?

Never worked? $698

Work experience? Could be higher.

Do you have a hard time understanding that?

>>9606843
Just a head up, if you are a whiner, filled with self hate, lament about your shitty life and just hope for an angel to descend and shower you with good fortune without doing anything, please head to >>>/r9k/.

>>9606867
That is incorrect, it cannot actually be higher. Though there is a separate program that may offer more if you have significant employment history.

>>9606867
That is incorrect, it cannot actually be higher. Though there is a separate program that may offer more if you have significant employment history.

But you're just trying to pick a fight in order to avoid admitting you were incorrect in this.

>how much do you get for autismbux?


You are under the impression that autismbux is an actual term used by the government as an alternate name for SSI. It is actually a term made up on the internet used as a name for a disability check. Not everyone on autismbux gets SSI and not everyone on autismbux gets SSDI. The distinction between the two is irrelevant because often times people who have worked part time or worked on and off full time will not know exactly what they are getting until they get an approval. Both programs are administered by the Social Security Administration. Both programs pay you when you can not work. You are being overly specific when there is not need to be.

>>9606906
Autismbucks has always referred to SSI in the american context. Nice try though, it really looked good.

>>9606922

Autismbux is used generically like the term disability is used for both. People generally just say "I receive disability." They do not say "I receive Supplemental Security Income" or "I receive Social Security disability insurance."

You are being anal.

>>9606932
You're desperately trying to weasel out of being called on giving out incorrect information.

Most anyone on this board looking for disability has not had more meaningful employment than a weeklong stint at McDonald's. Even the Uncle Remus guide itself was specifically on SSI. It's mentioned by name quite often, and it's generally understood by all to be autism bucks when said by anyone in america.

I'm going to assume you already know that, and haven't for example only started visiting in the last month or so, so again you're only going out of your way to avoid admitting you are incorrect in this. Why not have just made the distinction in the first place?

How do truNEETs who don't receive money from the government get shit they want (like figs for example) without a job? Do you ask your parents to buy them for you?

>>9606942

I honestly think you are mildly retarded and I have no idea why I have spent so long arguing with you. I am going to go build a tent out of bed sheets and move in there for a couple weeks.

>>9606962
Was it good for you too?

>>9606961
I do monotonous work online and sell older things to buy new things.

>>9607361
What kind of things do you do? I'm looking for a few ways to make money so that I can buy a PSP.

How do you American NEETs support your lifestyle?

>>9607693
For some reason, I see more Americans on autismbux than non-Americans. The glorious European welfare states are too busy paying Somalis for being baby factories.

Yesterday I found mold growing on some of my wooden furniture, I have to get rid of it somehow because I'm worried about my health. The heat in this room is ruining everything.

as of today my NEET status is gone

>>9607790
It was nice knowing you. Don't show your face around here anymore.

shitting on the floor would be good start.

I was never a NEET in my entire life.
Can I still stay here?

you can get ssd and ssi in conjunction, but the amount of money you recieve from ssi is less as you receive more ssd money. so an example is you'll receive a check from ssd for $300 and another from ssi for $398 and some supplemental aid from the cash program for $81. so even if you receive $698 from ssd then ssi won't be able to give you any additional income. those guys who make lots get it because they receive large ssd checks since their parents made lots of money and they received minors benefits.

this thread went to shit when you guys started arguing over ssi/ssd.

ssd = social security insurance for retirement, survivors, disabled.

it's calculated based off your work history always since it's the actual social security fund. when you qualify they determine when it started and if it happened before you were 18 years old then you get minors benefits which calculcates a % of your parents income if it's higher than yours.

that's how some people get lots of money from ssd. their parents are making lots of money so the % get is very high.

ssi = supplemental security income.

as the name says it's a supplement income for those do don't make over a certain amount of money so they can survive. the exact amount varies by the state you live in. some stats give 697 caps and others may give 678 caps.

the tricky part is the way it's calculated, basical the first $20 you make from any source of income is ignored so whatever the cap is it's that plus $20. there's other government programs which you can apply for which boosts the amount of money you receive over the cap and don't count against your income they're cash programs tied together with food stamps which gives you around $81 or so depending on the state.

you can get ssd and ssi in conjunction, but the amount of money you recieve from ssi is less as you receive more ssd money. so an example is you'll receive a check from ssd for $300 and another from ssi for $398 and some supplemental aid from the cash program for $81. so even if you receive $698 from ssd then ssi won't be able to give you any additional income. those guys who make lots get it because they receive large ssd checks since their parents made lots of money and they received minors benefits.

>>9607823
No, but keep paying your taxes for our sake.

Can you still get autismbux if you had a job for two years and just quit?

>>9607893
yes. people get disabled at different points in their lives. the condition has to be expected to last longer than a year and stop you from being able to work as a brief guideline though. there's all sorts of exceptions to the rules, but it has to be issue has to be long lasting and not something short basically.

i was only a neet in my life for 10 days.
awesome for a few days. then fucking boring

you NEETfags better stop scamming the social security agency, once the socialist overlord is gone they are going to crack down on you losers.

>>9608204
least for me I find projects or stuff to work on, fixing things etc

>>9608210
4 more years

7 glorious years here.

Too bad 5 of that was playing WoW, I got to make up for lost time.

>>9608280
They should hand out some kind of NEET handbook when you become a NEET, so you can learn how to make the most of your time. You have all the time in the world when you become a NEET, and most people end up wasting every second of it.

>>9608287
I feel like I'm wasting my time as a NEET. What would you guys suggest I do?

>>9608291
Things you enjoy.

What a crazy concept.

>>9608280
it's only lost time if you didn't really enjoy it!

i think im on the path of truNEET as of today

>>9608292
What if you don't enjoy anything?

>>9608308
Then either get treated for your depression or start trying new things.

>>9608308
keep looking

>>9608292
But it costs money to do things I enjoy. Well, except for listening to music, I guess. But even that costs a bit of money if you want a pair of quality headphones and such.

>>9608287
Indeed! My problem is that I'm always tired and need plenty of caffine to keep myself going.

>>9608296
I did in the beginning but after a while it got depressing, somebody gave me a PS3 and now I'm enjoying all the JRPGs I can.

I need to learn Japanese, I get motivated then forget.

Pick up hobbies you enjoy and be critical of yourself.

>>9608337
> be critical of yourself.
Awful advice for a NEET

I became a NEET after I got rejected from everywhere I applied thanks to my shitty 3.6 GPA. I just scrape by every month just like whatever country I play in grand strategy games.

>>9608340
Why's that? It's more or less worked out fine for me.

Is fapping considered a hobby? I'm always critical of myself after I fap. I dislike the smell it leaves on my hands.

>>9608352
The smell reminds me of an overly chlorinated pool.

>>9606333
And now there’s only one hour left to the exam.
This is unfortunate.

>>9608362
I wish we could get a home and be NEETs together. I could do a better job at trying o cheer you up.

I've been eating Taco Bell pretty much daily for the last few weeks, and now I have to really strain when I shit and I'm really gassy all the time, my room smells like a cesspool. I need help /jp/, I started taking stool softeners but how do I stop having such stinky farts?

/jp/, I need assistance. The plan is to save up $10,000 and live off that for a while.

Living with my parents where I don't pay rent (only car insurance), is this feasible? I have $2,100 saved up, I make $600 per paycheck. I only spend on occasional stockings or pantsu for fun.

>>9608454
count your monthly cost of living and divide that by the amount you've got.
>>9608432
stop eating tacobell and eat food which isn't trash.

how do you guys usually spend your time? I spend it being depressed and in bed or watching anime. I play the occasional vns and mmorpgs. I don't have much money, so i cant play many games.

>>9605975
>language
>characters
その言語は日本語かな…。

>>9608362
I empathize with you. I put things off saying it won't take that long to finish, or that I can do it later.

The closer it gets to a deadline the more stressed I get, until I freeze and just do nothing.

Then I do it all again, and again, then get depressed and suicidal.

>>9608576
Watching anime takes too much effort. You're not on the path to being a hikki at this rate.

>>9608454
>The plan is to save up $10,000 and live off that for a while.
>Living with my parents where I don't pay rent (only car insurance)
so your only cost is the insurance? sounds like you can live off the 10000 for a while
why are you even asking this

>>9608591
I find anime the only thing that doesn't require effort, just download and watch it. Games you have to keep pressing buttons.

>>9608591
Watching is possibly the most passive thing you can call an "activity."

>>9608576

Anime, Manga, Touhou, and other games.

It's all I need really to be happy.

>>9608647
>>9608652
truNEETs stare at the wall and are not phased by mortal things like boredom.

Whenever I watch anything I have to see every detail possible or else I get an overwhelming urge to rewind and pause every time the screen changes so I can examine it. It makes watching a movie take like 3-4 hours.

I think I need medication, its getting worse and worse.

Where can I sell my used shit? I'm afraid if I put stuff up on Amazon I'll will be waiting forever for people to buy my stuff.

>>9608666
What do you have? I might buys something.

>>9608667
I don't think I have anything /jp/ would be interested in. My Zune is the only thing I can think of right now that might actually be worth something.

>>9608670
You selling any clothes?

>>9608342
3.6 is not shitty,

unless you were aiming for like, good schools.

Seriously, wtf? I'm not a NEET, but I had around a 3.6-3.7 and I went to top 5 school in engineering.

>>9608672
Nah, I haven't bought any new clothes since I graduated from high school a few months ago so I don't have a lot of clothes, just barely enough to make it through the week.

>>9608680
*a few years ago

Ooops.

>>9608680
Oh. I'm looking for a wool sweater. I hope I didn't give the impression I wanted your used clothes for some sexual thing.

>>9608674
Where did you get the idea that he wasn't applying for jobs? My university GPA was also over 3.5 and worth nothing because I had no other qualifications.

>>9608693
It never crossed my mind.
I hope you find a sweater soon, anon-kun.

>>9608699
...and an extremely shitty attitude.

I'm afraid of the debt that comes with attending university...also the fact that I may not be able to obtain a decent career even if I graduate with a fantastic GPA.

Maybe I should just learn a trade instead.

>>9605532
enjoy your sad pathetic meaningless life until you get kicked out from the house by your parent's who "understand" you

>>9608699

Oh, I didn't know he was referring to job applications, whenever I hear gpa I usually think of schools first. Sorry.

Still, 3.6 doesn't sound as bad as you make it. I know for engineering, 3.6 is damn good, and I wish i had even over a 3.4.

Guys... This is NEET thread. Please discuss NEET things and not school or jobs thank you.

>>9608717
>whenever I hear gpa I usually think of schools first
Of course you do because you're five years old. No, four.

>>9608728
Take it easy.

I stock up on energy drinks when I want to do something other than stare at a wall. I've been a caffeine addict since I was 12, its as bad as smoking I swear.

>>9608728

20 but close enough.

>>9608712
University is good if you're healthy, wealthy, sociable and ambitious or extremely gifted, which is kind of related to the previous attributes. I'm doing quite well but I'm dropping out because I know that I won't be able to handle a job that matches the education.

>>9608736
Welp, I'm none of those things. Semi-healthy, but that's about it.

>>9608734
20 is still kind of young.

>>9608576
The bulk of my time is spent making food, drinking tea, posing dolls, and posting here on /jp/. A few times a month I'll try to go on an "adventure" somewhere, which is really just a fancy way of saying I like to visit a bakery or other store that sells interesting food. Other times I'll just drive down a certain road because I like the location and atmosphere. I call it an adventure because I always get really excited to go. By the time I return home I get this feeling of amazement from the whole experience. I can't really explain why.


This summer I've been going to a ton of convenience stores at night for drinks and other snacks.

Do any of you guys drive?

I have a license, but im actually scared to death to drive, especially on the freeways. I have no idea why.

>>9608712
>I'm afraid of the debt that comes with attending university...also the fact that I may not be able to obtain a decent career even if I graduate with a fantastic GPA.

You can attend a state university at a reasonable cost, especially if you do not need to live 𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐨. Ultimately, though, if you do not see how attending a university would help you to achieve your life goals, don't do it. Just doing something without a real plan or reason for doing it (aside from a vague expectation that it will make your life better, without being clear on how this would actually happen) gets you in trouble.

>>9608765

I drive a lot, it's scary but it gets easier.

>>9608765
I love to drive. Parents pay for everything.

As of today I am no longer a NEET. I start at a community college. Am I still allowed to play Touhou?

>>9608795
No. You know how some games have gaijin blocks? Touhou have a non-NEET block for people like you.

>>9608739
I'm a poor fuck with scholarship and I'm so retarded that I haven't managed to get to know anybody at all. Everyone else is very pro-social or at least trying to be and this isn't even some hip bullshit but natural sciences. I'm not scared of talking to people. The culture is just so weird. Everyone's constantly happy and expected to be, too. You're supposed to be funny and interested in all kind of high culture shite and games. I'm mainly interested in getting fed today and in the future. It's like an individual is broken and to be shunned if he doesn't fit the bill. Oh yeah, getting laid rules the world even here. It's the alpha and omega of life, the ultimate nirvana. Middle class people just don't talk about it that much. Such is life here in Euroland.

Wow so many nerds in here pretending like theyre living large over the internet.
Don't mind me, just perusing a major that suits my passions and hobbies in life. I met a ton of cool people in my various clubs and organizations at school and even got a ladyfriend.

Still have plently of time to play video games with my mates, even if they suck, watch movies and anime sometimes and pretty much everything you guys do.
and yet /jp/ tries to tell me the NEET life is the way to go.
Oh man

>>9608817
dude stop being an ass.

>>9608817
Lost on your way to /soc/?

>>9608820
Sorry?
>>9608821
Nope. /fa/ and /mu/ are my main boards, but I've been browsing /jp/ for a while.

>>9608817
Why are you stupid enough not to understand that we have no options? 0/5, I'd expect more from a person of your status.

>>9608822
>browsing /fa/

..wait, really?

>>9608765
Drive more. I was terrified on driving on the highway a year ago, but now it's a piece of cake. Just have to worry about taking the wrong exit when going to new places.

>>9608822
>/fa/
Terrible board. Go to superfuture if you actually want people that know jack shit about fashion.

>>9608827
Everyone has options in most of the first and developed world. Where do you live?
>>9608828
Sure, sometimes.
>>9608830

Hey buddy, no need to act so cold. We're all friends here.
Don't know what I've done to flare your autism.
>>9608844
I was greentexting, and there isn't such a thing as "normal".

>>9608847
>I was greentexting
And I'm blacktexting. That doesn't answer the question.

>>9608849
That would mean the answer is no one, friend.

No, you were clearly quoting someone as you were using the quote function.

I can't take it easy anymore. Someone kill me, /jp/. You can have all my stuff if you do!

>>9608881
I bet you don't even have much stuff.

>>9608876
You're just being a dick. Now I will go to sleep angry.

Thanks a lot.

>>9608886
You're right, I don't. At the very least you get a free computer, some manga, figurines and can loot $500 off my corpse.

Then again, if anyone was seriously interested in killing me for loot, something tells me they wouldn't let me have a quick death.

>>9606144
If it gets bad enough just drink some beer and be alone.

>>9608888
Sorry anon-kun.
How was I being a dick? I was just trying to point out how silly threads like this tend to be.
I'll try to be better next time.

He's clearly not from around here and trying to force his (pretty retarded) normal standards down everyone's throat.

>>9608765
I'm still afraid of driving on freeways.

>>9608904
Having a dedicated camera these days is pretty foolish. I could see someone making an argument against it.
>>9608908
But I am "from here".

If the normal standards are so retarded, why do so many adhere to them?

>>9608901
Your mother was being pretty silly yesterday when she didn't even realize to swallow before I slapped her.

>>9608913
It's hardly foolish. What case could someone possibly make against owning a camera?

>>9608817
That is good and cool but imma tell you, there is nothing better than living everyday like Sunday.
Enjoy your education debt and class nerd while I am slacking and idling all my time in my couch and bed.

>>9608921
Things like smartphones and other all in one type devices are edging out the dedicated camera market. The truth is that most people do not need access to a camera more powerful than the one located on their iphone.

>>9608925
It's a hobby. It's like saying you don't need any clothes other than what you find at Target or Wal-mart

>>9608925
why would have a cellphone, let alone an iphone, on /jp/ of all places

>>9608925

I don't need a smart phone. I don't have leave the house and I don't have friends to call. Owning a camera makes a lot more sense than owning a phone.

>>9608924
>there is nothing better than living everyday like Sunday.
1. Saturday > Sunday
2. I disagree. The whole thing that makes the weekend something to like and look forward to is that it is different than the other days of the week.
>debt
I'm going for free because I am a superior human being.
>slacking and idling all my time in my couch and bed.

>>9608931

You don't though.
>>9608933

>I don't have leave the house and I don't have friends to call
Sorry for you I guess.

>>9608941
Why are you still posting? Go die in a ditch, fool.

>>9608941

Why? I don't want to call people. I am not a teenage girl.

>>9608765
I do, I'm on my Restricted though (Can't drive between 10pm-5am and not allowed passengers) not sure how other countries work. Too cheap to get my full.

I got in a big accident 7 years ago which lead me to becoming a NEET, started driving again last year.

Whenever guys go on /jp/ and try to force their "normal" agenda on everyone it never ends well.

You'd think they would learn.

>>9608909
There isn't anything to be afraid off. It's exactly like driving on the street except faster and more dangerous.
>>9608945
Have I done something to anger you?
>>9608951
If you don't have any friends and you never leave the house then I guess you don't need one.
It seems like a lonely existence though.

>>9608959
There is not such thing as normal or a normal agenda bro.

>>9608925
Please do not assume everyone (especially here) carries a phone with them that has a camera. I can see where you're coming from though. A lot of people owned point and shoot film cameras or purchased disposable cameras for snapshots before phones got cameras. Personally, I like to be in control of what the final photo is going to look like. I like an optical viewfinder. I like physical confirmation for things like aperture, ISO, and shutter speed. I like using off-camera lighting. I like my wide angle lenses. I just plain like using cameras. I don't even know if you can change anything useful on a cameraphone, but if you could I'd be surprised.

>>9608816
It's the same in Amerifat land, except with even more socializing, and more drugs. Oh and huge academic pressure and overinflated tuition. It's not worth it if you aren't a social butterfly. I couldn't handle all the damn socialization in the required lab classes, so I simply stopped showing up.

What does /jp/ think about these?

>>9609252
I'm going to assume it has something to do with facebook going by the name on the box.

So, it's shit. What is it?

>>9609302
Apparently they can track you anywhere, recognize your face and give you coupons through Facebook.

>>9609304
That's pretty spooky, and a whole lot of incentive to continue not leaving my house.

The normals got suckered into this madness way too easily.

>>9609304
I hope shit like this makes people understand how potentially harmful things like Facebook are. More of this, please.

>>9609311
How many people on /jp/, posting in a NEET thread, use facebook?

>>9609311
They'll probably just be happy about "them sweet deals".

>>9609344
My sister made an account for me without my knowledge one day when she was drunk. When she told me about the confirmation e-mail that would come to my inbox, I decided to just confirm it since she and my mom were begging me to make an account for months. They want me to be more social and keep in contact with the family and shit.

I actually haven't used it since the account was created, though. It's one of the most boring websites I've ever browsed.

>>9609344
I didn't mean that more should be posted here, sillypants.

Jesus fuck you guys are pathetic
Go out and live your lives.

>>9609392

>>9608941
> The whole thing that makes the weekend something to like and look forward to is that it is different than the other days of the week.

So why don't you hurt yourself 5 days week to make the absence of pain feel like happiness on weekends?

>>9607723
Glorious European welfare states are not stupid enough to feed people with imaginary diseases. Our infrastructure is better at filtering the fakes because of (more) regulations and doctors and officials having (more) integrity. Bad for people wanting to be truNEET, good for society.

>>9608765
I took driving classes when I was 16 but it was all too nerve-racking so I never got my license.

>>9609992
It felt the same about the classes, but I managed to pull through and still do my license. Might have been a waste of time and money, though, because I haven't driven a car since. I just thought I might want to live out of a van someday. Paying rent is hard if you're a NEET.

Driving is very scary

I'm too afraid to go to a doctor and tell him the problems I have. I'm also too afraid I don't actually have anything serious enough to make me unable to work in the future.

I just exercised for the first time in over 5 years and now my legs are all wobbly and weird.

Feels pretty good though.

>>9610375

I doubt anyone on /jp/ has anything serious enough to make them unable to work in the future.
From memory we've had deaf people and paraplegic people post here before.
Neither of those would be considered enough, I had a great Aunt who was blind from oxygen therapy and she worked as a teacher in a blind school.
I'll never use that route because my parents would disown me if I faked an illness for those purposes.
