I come to this board because, without fail, I consistently feel more comfortable here than I do ANYWHERE in the physical world. I have lived quite happily for years with one IRL friend (also a /jp/sy) and all of you to keep me company. The rest of my good friends are all online and most of them I know from running in these circles.

So, thanks.

It's pretty cold here. I'm, as usual, naked, wearing my bathrobe under 2 seperate blankets. Drinking my favorite soda and listening to Jeremy Soule ambients. I'd feel good about everything if not for having to partake in normal human society for the first time in 3 months. I live in Finland, where you can live completely off of social benefits. However, said benefits have certain requirements, and one of them is attending this one week course that I have starting next monday. It's going to be pain considering I haven't talked to people aside from my parents and online friends for the past half a year. Still, it's only 5 days and It's giving me such a buzz in the butt, even though normally I do nothing all day every day. I almost feel good about myself for being so lazy and useless, in a strange, masochistic way.

Cool...? I haven't thought of it like that. All Finnish people have the right to a Basic Social Benefit -benefit (poor translation, I know), as long as they have no income. That is the only requirement (as far as I know), aside from having a citizenship here. Then we have yet another 2 types of benefit, which are more like primary cautions than something you deliberately life off of. All in all the full benefits add up to roughly 1200e /month, which is aroung 1600-1700 USD, I guess?

The course is on job applications, and how to "market yourself" in job terms. Basically you practice complimenting yourself. In reality though it's just a cheap way to shapen up the unemployment statistics, because theoretically you aren't unemployed during the course, and honestly I don't plan on taking anything there seriously, I'm fairly contempt with my current life situation. I think you would be stupid to not, actually.

Huh, it isn't quite that easy here in New Zealand. You have to have some kind of reason as to why aren't working, it is a lot more lax than the US though.
I thought it might be something like that. How long will it be sustainable for though? There must be a point, even if many years into the future, the government sees and wonder why you as a young adult are not working, and for no reason?

I dont know why but reading this brings me to tears. Is this the highlight of your life anon?

Mine isn't any better. I went to small private schools and was always the top of my class and everyone liked me.

I went to public high school and was picked on so bad I dropped out. The only contact I have is about once a week where my mom walks up to my door and asks my why I don't just die already.

She usually feels bad a couple hours afterwards and puts the food at the door like she always does because she still loves me.

I love my mom. Do you guys love your moms?

Wow that makes perfect sense, I tried forcing myself to motivate me and push for something.

But it just didn't work and I fell back to relaxing and indulging in more fun activities instead(like sleeping/dreaming, relaxing in bed all day).

And sometimes I think, "Is this really what I want?"
"Don't I wanna work towards something and accomplish some goal?"
"What is it that I really want in life?"

And there's always the same answer popping up before anything else
"Just wanna take it easy"

But there's still this lingering doubt that this is not right

Isn't it terrible? My brother worked hard to be an engineer because it was his dream. His commute is 1 hour and 30 minutes long so he can be close to our family. He drives 3 hours a day. He works around 10-13 hours a day.

On a bad week he'll spend 80 hours a week away from home. When he gets home he eats, does laundry, gets groceries, etc. By the time he's done this he has 6 hours of sleep. if he does any hobbies he has less sleep.

He tells me he's okay working so hard because he makes a lot of money and can retire at 60 instead of waiting till 70. He tells me then he'll travel the world and it'll all be worth it. Time passes by in a flash to him while the days drag on for me.

A lot of things like that could happen but the way engineering teams work is, because they do retire early, senior engineers become managers. That's just how it goes, ask him and he'll tell you. Management jobs are all easy because you aren't doing the hard stuff yourself anymore and you have a lot more time for yourself. Work hard and it pays off.

You could get cancer and die as a NEET just the same so that's really silly.

That's not the point, the thing is that by being a NEET you're placing a safe bet. You're enjoying life now while you can. What he's doing (and most people do) instead is to not enjoy life now and expect to enjoy it later, even though we never can be sure we will be able to.

It's not just about the career. Anything can happen, health problems, social changes, changes in retirement laws, or whatever. Who knows what might happen in the future.

If the future isn't predictable then how does Wallstreet make so much money? Future prediction is big business and there are ways to get real close. There are things you can do to make what you want to happen, happen. Like going to school for whatever job you want doesn't guarantee it but it makes it a hell of a lot more likely. Just like working hard as an engineer makes it a hell of a lot more likely you'll get into management, since the only requirement is experience most of the time.

Please don't try to justify NEETdom as "enjoying life" because unless you are rich you're very limited in what you can enjoy. Maybe whatever would make you most happy in life is completely inaccessible because you're drawn into reclusive madness and then live unhappily until you kill yourself! Who knows what could happen, right, the future is unpredictable!

>>11547406
We're talking different kinds of managers here man. The "manager" label encompasses a variety of roles depending on the business. For engineers it just means you're the guy who keeps a little team organized on a project and you make around double pay. It's not some multi-millionaire executive deal but it's a low stress management gig where you're handing out tasks instead of receiving them.

You don't need lots of money to enjoy life. Enough money to eat and pay the internet could be enough. You can pirate fucking everything now. Being a manager doesn't instantly make you happy.

Sorry but you buy too much into what society tells you. As Bill Hicks would say, you're taking life too seriously.

It's true, but people are materialistic because people who benefit from it convince them that it's the only way to be happy. Anyway, I think it's clear that to be a NEET, not being materialistic is a requirement.

I'm afraid I take it so easy I don't care too much about such things.
I don't care about scamming the social welfare system.
It's taking it easy because you get money without having to work for it. A lot of work is not easy.
I'm sure you're right if they don't pursue a job after being caught.

Also from what I said I was in no way implying any sort of illegal activity. i was telling him he should get the benefit if he could.
You're just looking stuff to fight over.

There aren't a lotta options. Gotta get into some kinda 'work for money' relationship.

Yeah they are. Again, you're taking life too seriously.

>but if you start telling others to drop their ways and fall into a NEET lifestyle they'll end up depressed and shit and unhappy, should they follow your advise
Read my post again. I never said you should be a NEET, I said that people should find their own way to live. Accept that people are happy with different things.

>How will you pay for your children's education?
I don't plan to have children and many people don't.

You sound really really close minded, indoctrination really worked for you didn't it.
Anyway it seems I'm wasting my time and you're wasting yours so I'll stop here. Sorry people for helping him derail the thread.

I feel completely at ease when I'm all cooped up in my room, on my computer with my chinese cartoons and vidya gaems. But doing this for too long at a time makes me lethargic. My games become too troublesome to play, everything seems boring, I start sleeping for 11 hours a day, and then I just get overwhelmingly depressed and lonely.

I wish I could go full NEET, but my brain won't let me find happiness that way. I'm so jealous of you people. I just spent the last five hours working on a coding project for a class I have in a little over six hours, and I'm supposed to get a shower and a night's sleep between now and then. Only through this suffering do my games feel as sweet when I get to finally play them.

Someone teach me the ways of taking it easy.

I feel as if my life is under attack. My parent had to have a leg amputated, so she was in the hospital for months. I visited everday, making sure she was comfortable and had what she wanted. When she got out, she was put in a rehabilitation house for a few months. I visited nearly as often, making sure she was alright. After she was out of rehabilitation, she was taken in by a relative. Again, I visited everday and did all I could to help.

I did all of this while NEET, just as I have been for quite some time now. Just two days ago the internet at my house was shut off by the relative who took my parent in. She said when I got a job, I could pay get it back and pay for the internet myself. She said when I got a job, I would need to help pay utilities and stuff for the house that I had been living in.

I felt betrayed. I do not cry often, but the whole day I stayed in bed, sobbing. Every few hours the relative would come over and hug me and try to console me, but it made really no affect. I fell asleep feeling just as I had many years ago before I became NEET. My dream was a playback of what had happened the day before and today I was a mess. I stayed in bed as long as I could and when I was up, my relative came over to see how I was doing on my search for a job. I've been sweating all day, feeling nauseous, had a loss of appetite, and my eye twitch came back. Worst of all, the feeling that something absolutely horrible is happening or about to happen has returned. I cannot work. I cannot do it.

I have tried twice in the past to off myself, have been medicated for depression, and probably have some other problems I can't afford to get diagnosed. In the past my parents also forced me to get a job, so I don't know if I can apply for any sort of government help. Oddly enough, the only thing that made me happy was becoming NEET. I do not want to become how I was before, /jp/. I don't want to do it. I don't want to work. I can't work.

What can I do?

You should think of the coding projects as another game to play, instead of as busywork. after all, coding is really just a creative way to make a computer do what you want it to. That way you can stay ahead in class and take it easy at the same time!

You just need to find the job that's right for you. Nothing too strenuous.

You're probably right about that part; but your relative at least may still not see it that way and demand you get a job on principle and pay your own way.
You can always try, of course.

A couple of arguably easy ways of making money: you could produce drugs (not easy to get into of course) or gamble.
My Dad does sports betting a bunch on Baseball and Basketball and could live off the profits if he really wanted too.
It's definitely something I'll dabble in, but you want some kind of financial foundation for when you start of betting, it's still a risk no matter how smart you bet.

There's always an ending to anything Anon, blessed times of happiness included. I've been living with a girlfriend who is the working man, while I just stay home and keep things clean, in full NEETdom. I've never even imagined it was even possible for a piece of trash like me to ever become so happy. But I'm sure someday she will tire of me, the love will fade and she will kick me out, that's just how life works.

We just have to enjoy the blessed times as much as possible while we can. Suck every last drop of happiness, Anon! That way when everything crumbles, you will either go down to Gensokyo with no regrets, or find the motivation to chase back what you lost.

why is it so hard to admit what you really want to do? whys it so hard to admit that your happiness causes others to be unhappy, its almost as if causing somebody else to fail by yourself suceeding is such an evil thing they have to demonise them by saying its their fault for failing?
even NEETs can barely admit that its not really their fault for being NEETS. not to get all class conscious or anything, but the consistant tendancy for the opressed to not blame the opressors and the opressors to blame the opressed astounds me...

the thing i like about /jp/ is not that were OK with failing, but OK with the fact that we failed and theres no one here to help us. theres nothing wrong with playing on easy mode

That is an utopian dream, and no, you are not the only one to think so. People who would agree with you are probably in the majority. Don't get me wrong, I also agree with you. However that vision is so far away from being realized that there is little point in wasting time in thinking about it.

In the world we live in now the best freedom you can hope for is the freedom of a stable income, provided either by the state, charity or your own work.

I can't bring myself to trust that charity or state will sustain me forever. Lately, the fear that my benefits will get taken away has become stronger than my will to isolate myself from society. So I can't live the carefree NEET life anymore. I would rather choose a work that somewhat resembles a NEET lifestyle, than have to be forced into the street when the state stops giving me money for one reason or another.

tl;dr: It doesn't matter if work is meaningless or not, what matters is your life and happiness.

when you say far away, do you mean temporally, or as a possibility. if everyone thinks a future is far away then it will never happen. not because technology will never catch up, but because even when it does people will still be stuck in the old ways of thinking
people must have dreams. we must live in "the land of dreams"

It's mere logic. There are so many things that need to happen to realize that utopia. The entire world would need to be brought up to at least first world standard in terms of wealth, development, peace, education, atheism and so on.

And the things that need to happen are dwarfed by the possible things could that stand in the way of it. If not simple human greed, then ecological disasters, global warming, aliens, nuclear war... The list goes on.

I live in Europe, millions of illiterate people flood this continent every year at an ever increasing rate. An alarming portion of them live on welfare and eventually this will cause the treasury will run dry. Unless the people decide that welfare is a bad idea before that. The result would be the same for me.

It's not about fear and blame, it's about cause and effect. The fear and blame game is played by people like you who claim that denying the numbers and facts is preferable to questioning a certain course of action. I am not a Nazi, I just don't shy away from facts out of fear that these facts will somehow trigger the 4th Reich.

Hey /jp/

I have a dilemma. I'm currently a Maths student at University and am taking it as easy as I can. People in my dorms go out drinking every other night, go to lectures half asleep and repeat whereas I never go out and just play video games, attend lectures, watch anime and study. I'm friendly to others whenever I leave my room to make food and people seem to like me so I'm quite happy as I am. Also the degree at this particular University has about 96% of people finding jobs after they've graduated which is pretty cool. But I've been thinking ...

Should I drop out of University to become a NEET? My Dad who's getting old has told me that I can live with him and we can work on projects together (like painting, making small robots etc). He'll also cook for me and he used to be a chef so I'll be eating well. On top of that I can spend my days just enjoying myself doing whatever I feel like doing. I can even start learning Japanese.

Society and everyone around me seems to think this is a bad idea but I feel as though it would make me extremely happy. On the other hand I often see NEETs post on here about how it's depressing which I can understand but I feel as though it's only due to the pressure of other people making you feel bad about it.

What do you think /jp/?

Do what makes you happy. The rat race is for people who buy into the idea that you need to work yourself to the bones to have a meaningful life.

It's a great concept for the advancement of society since it pushes people to innovate, but for the individual it's pretty fucking terrible. Why waste your life working for someone else?

I used to be extremely anxious but over time I just stopped caring. It started when I went to university after being NEET for a couple of years. I spent the first week having panic attacks every morning and just staying in my room watching anime rather than going outside. However I quickly got over it. I began going shopping for the first time in my life and had to keep reminding myself that no one cares what I'm doing. I started calling my mum every time I went shopping which made it easier for me to stop over thinking things.

Basically being forced outside my comfort zone allowed me to expand my comfort zone. It was awful though. I came very close to going home for good after a few days and if I weren't staying so far away I certainly would have.

Just try understanding that nothing really matters. Even if you make a fool of yourself in public, no one really cares.

My thoughts exactly. I just doubt it sometimes as everyone else thinks otherwise so maybe there's some kind of flaw that I'm not seeing.

The safest option is to tell your father to chill the fuck out, finish your graduation and then go to live with him, unless a good oportunity comes up right after you finish it and you would like to take it.

Or else you'll be putting yourself under a terrible spot if anything turns bad in the future, as in when your father dies, or if your "business" fails.

Having a diploma opens up the opportunity to go back and do a lot of stuff or get better jobs later, but it is much, much harder to go back all the way and try to complete university after you are old.

The flaw is that honestly, you wind up with a lower quality of life when you aren't experiencing new things every day. The days blur together, but you'll always be fairly happy. Normal people have more exciting, memorable moments, but the parts between those moments are tedious and boring. Here's a complex graph to show you what I mean, with the NEET in black, and the normal in red.

I don't like it when people here use the term "normal" as some sort of negative degenerate way of living. Isn't one of the reasons you hate them is because that's how they view your lifestyle?
And besides, I would like to live a normal life. Not going off and drinking and partying and whatever some people think is normal, but what I think is normal; reading, browsing /jp/, playing video games, watching anime, trying some new things every once in a while or going new places (not necessarily a new country, just small little explorations you know). Just plain old taking it easy. That's normal to me.

I heard that happiness is mostly genetic, so I think my happiness graph is a lot higher and can easily be maintained long term over the happiness line.

It kinda makes me feel like I should pass on my genes. If you're really smart and talented, people will try to convince you to pass on your genes to increase the quality of the gene pool, if only slightly. But if you ask most people if they would rather be talented or happy, most people would want to be happy. So wouldn't happy people be doing the greatest service to the gene pool by passing on their genes?

Does /jp/ have trouble dealing with work? Lately the place I've been working at part time has really added a bunch of shifts to my schedule, I thought that getting more hours in my job would make me more committed, but it's only made things very stressful and I'm afraid that some day soon I may just snap.

My father passed away recently, it definitely hasn't made this any easier. I've been tossed so much responsibility my way in such a short time that the only times I can ever take it easy is thew few hours I can be on /jp/ if I'm not completely tired.

3. having dull mental responses; slow-witted

normal:
1.conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural.

3. A tool of conformity.

minority:
2.a. A racial, religious, political, national, or other group thought to be different from the larger group of which it is part.

I can't take it easy. I think my best friend killed himself last Sunday. 3am Sunday morning I saw him online on Skype and thought it was unusual since he's never on that time. Then on Monday a mutual friend sent me a screencap of his Facebook, he wrote a message saying goodbye, he loves us all, and someday we'll meet again. No one has heard from him since then and he's been online on Skype continuously ever since (even though he always logs off at night), and he's not responding to my messages. I even had a dream about him last night where he just went on a vacation and came back. If he did kill himself it came out of nowhere, he's a pretty normal guy. Just last weekend I was talking to him and he seemed fine, only a little upset that his new internet was so slow. And I don't think he would kill himself over that.

I hate this. I've already had a friend kill herself before and I don't want it to happen again.
