Throw yourself at the mercy of a church.
Tell them they you are a man crippled by pedophilia, and that you have always feared entering the world proper because you may not be able to control yourself.
Commit yourself to the church, become celibate, you didn't want 3DPD anyway, right?
After that, be born again, be "reformed" and after one of the service goers hires you and you gain work experience you can save up some money, flee elsewhere in the country, and use your work experience to start again.

A person that I know has told me that he just went to the welfare office after graduating college, waited in line, filled out all the papers, and was allowed on welfare. He said you have to provide proof that you have absolutely zero assets / cash, and have your parents sign off that they are not supporting you. Then he said as long as he stood in the lines and filled all the paperwork he got it.

Of course they will kick you off after so much time unless you join a job placement program.

Here's how you not fuck up at life:

You look for shitty jobs any uneducated highschooler can do, if worse, you do jobs mexicans do. Supermarket bagger, stacker, restaurant dish washer, waiter, etc. Your parents will fuck off for the time being. During this period, enroll in your local community college and pay for your courses with the shit money you make from your job. It wont be enough, but it will give your parents the guise that you're trying to get your life back, and if they love you ( at least a little bit) they'll pay for college expenses as long as you at least pretend to put some effort into it.

Here's the hard part:
Actually work, succeed, find something you like, and major in it (pedophilia is not a major, sorry).

I was actually kicked out till I got a job. I slept outside like a hobo for a couple days before my uncle picked me up. This happened June of this year, now I have a job and going o classes part time. Best advice, get a job at a university, use that to build up job experiences to put on a resume and then apply to a permanent part time job at Borders, Barnes and Nobles, Starbucks, Best Buy, Walmart etc. Your parents will be happy if you have a job and your self-esteem would increase a billion fold. I went from scared NEET to a fairly amiable indiviual in the span of months. It fucking hurts the first few months but when you get your first pay check and realize that you can do anything you want with it (Protip: 50% should go to savings, 20% should got daily necessities and 10% to minor fun purchases.) you'd feel a lot better.

Research can be great. Staying in academia can be a real relaxing career path, it's probably perfect for NEETs because you can stay in a closed in enviornment and only deal with a very small circle. You can mostly just do your own thing. It can be well and be pretty easy, I highly recommend it. I wish I was intelligent enough to stay in academia and just never leave my uni.

A lot of the people I know in research & academia are lazy as hell, it's one of those "screw around most of the day, go to conferences every now and then to seem important, write a couple letters each year with bullshit explaining why you should keep your job and that's about it" kind of setups.

Former NEET here.

Avoid working for huge corporations if at all possible. It will crush your soul. Mid-sized businesses are the real opportunities.

Talk to your relatives, parents' friends, etc. See if the places they work could use anybody entry-level.

Failing that, you could try signing on with a temp agency. You only work for about two weeks to two months at a time doing mostly light industrial stuff and manual labor (around $10/hr, impossible to fuck up), but if you do a good job you can wind up with a permanent position eventually. 90% of the people that work for temp agencies are lazy white trash, if you actually put in the effort it's not hard to stand out. You need a car though.

You patch yourself to a lab as a postgraduate/assistant/technician and stay there forever. Or be a lecturer, which is the same but with more teaching. The latter pays fairly well, former is alright but depends on the country and lab. Recommended if you're good at cooking. Good cooks are good biologists, and vice-versa.

You may also end up doing some quirky things, like those dry ice/falcon tube rocket bombs (well, that's a bad example. Do not try this if you enjoy not having large circular cuts on your face.) or drawing on agar plates using bacteria (really ought to do this for an OC thread, don't want to waste supplies though. Maybe I'll do it with homemade agar. A magical girl that uses an inoculation loop as a wand sounds cute, so I'll try to draw that. Too bad I can't draw for shit. )

I'm going into pharmacy. The only downsides that I've heard of are that it's a completely rote lifestyle as a pharmacist, doing the same things day after day, and that the tiniest mistake can cost you your degree. This is because pharmacists are the last people to check your medication before they give it to you. If you're taking a medicine that would conflict with a new medicine, you could die, and there goes the pharmacist's career and 6 years of studying.
Though, I've heard that CVS had developed a program that automatically checked for conflicting medicines in patients.

Oh, one other downside that I didn't hear about, but am experiencing, is that you need a letter of recommendation to get into pharmacy school. That is, there's 4 years of general education, then you graduate college/uni without a degree, and must apply to a pharmacy school.
As someone who was not sick enough to know any pharmacist, this is extremely difficult. The other option is to work in a pharmacy for summer or as an intern, but you need to be registered for the state for that, which costs $100 that I don't have.

Dont worry about being skinny and weak, or fat and weak. since they'll just hold you over in basic until you can pass the PT exam. On the flip side, you can use being in basic as motivation to pass your PT exam (since you want to get the fuck out of there as soon as possible)

If you survived te compulsory service you should have a good chance to get in for professional. And then you get trained in some useful stuff in addition to military stuff, like driving. Going on missions is usually optional (unless it's an all-out war) and the pay is decent even without it.

He'd find a cute, caring girl who would pity him and decide to take care of him. He'd be overjoyed that he found what appears to be a pure maiden in pig disgusting 3D world, but being a shy /jp/ Anonymous, he would be immensely afraid that she would find out that he's a pervert, even going as far as to stop masturbating. Of course, being blind, he wouldn't know that she's as much a pervert as he is, cooking for him in naked apron and masturbating to him everyday instead. One day, she wouldn't be able to bear it anymore and try to rape him when he has just woken up. The first thing the groggy Anonymous notices in the morning would be a weight on him, a pleasant feeling on his dick and warm virginal blood trickling onto him. When she notices he's awake, she'd break down crying, saying she wanted to be a proper woman for him (having garnered his thoughts and tastes from his PC) but is just another 3D slut after all. Of course, Anonymous would clumsily try to kiss her at this point, probably failing miserably, and say that he'll love her nonetheless.

Afterwards he'd get a chaste, albeit rather perverted, wife who reads VNs with him, going as far as to learn Japanese to better do so. When they arrive on a H-scene, she would replicate the scene with Anonymous, claiming that since he can't see, she must do this for him to properly immerse himself into the game.

Years later, Anonymous' eyes would miraculously open, only to find that he has somehow already entered into the 2D world. He'd check a mirror, only to see the cute young girl he always wanted to be instead of an old man. His wife, still looking young despite the years, would smile warmly, announce that it'll take a few more months before he fully becomes a girl, and ask if he'd like some tea.

That's just plain unforgivable. Imagine your kidneys as young twins in identical deep red clothing, wearing paired adrenal glands as their hats. Would you murder one in cold blood just because you're poor? Would you be able to endure it as she hugs you in tears and tells her crying twin sister to take good care of you, and then allows you to destroy her so that you can get some money, saying that it's okay if it's for her master's sake?

I dropped out of college. It was tedious doing all of the assignments and I was always procrastinating until right before I had to go to class. It was actually harder for me to do college work than it was to work in a real job. Now my parents are actively trying to get me out of the house and a night shift job sounds very attractive but I'm afraid I'd regret it in the future knowing that I'm capable of much more.

Schooling doesn't matter nearly as much as people think it does, other than positions which specifically demand a degree. But if you're presently unemployed then you're already at a disadvantage.

Find a way to move to a more urbanized area. This will probably mean staying with relatives; as long as you're not a lazy fucktard then you should be able to land at least a part time minimum wage job if you're in a real city. You need to live somewhere where there are actual businesses in walking/bus range, most youth's problem these days is that their parents raised them in douchebag suburbs where you need a car to reach anything besides more white bread houses.

Problem is that you need to type up resumes/cover letters in order to do some shitty job that a child with downs can do. NEET's can barely shower, let alone list a good reason why they should be hired that will catch the eye of the lowlife jack-off in HR.

Alternatively, you could work in fast food so you can make minuscule wages and have teenagers laugh at what a loser you are to your face.

Diplomatic and defense concerns aside, the president should only have two concerns in the economy:

1: Building infrastructure to accommodate private business. Road and rail projects are a good way to put idle hands to use in a recession, plus commerce and industry benefit from being able to move their goods around faster and cheaper.

2: Vetoing irresponsible legislation. The president of the US can't even really do this anymore because pork barrel spending is usually hidden in thousand-page bills built around vital measures which need to be implemented. Clinton was given the power to veto line items instead of entire bills, but this was promptly taken away from him when the house of representatives realized that the only thing a president would want to do with it is get rid of their pork.

Those states that don't have money to create more jobs? Yeah, Texas isn't one of them.

Off topic, but Texas doesn't have the right political climate to have the state meddling in the job market. All they can really do is play the Chinese-style strategy of being as cheap and open as possible, and this works well in times of recession.

GED aren't as hard to pass as you think, if you're not a complete retard, anyway.

Also, TEMP AGENCIES. Piss easy work that doesn't require any brains, or even much strength at higher than minimum age, and long before you get sick of the job, it's probably over!

Just do that, and start saving up. Your parents will get off your back for sure and you'll be doing easy if inconsistent work on the side to maintain yourself. (Then if you grow up, you can put some of that money towards getting an education for something.)

After living as a good-for-nothing for about a year and a half, I finally got a job last week, my first one, by the way. It was a internship proposal made by a family friend, at a marketing agency. I wasn't really sure, but since my parents were really aching for me to get a job, I kind of had to accept.
Even though I only have to work for 7 hours. Even though sometimes there's nothing to do and I can just sit down browsing 4chan or playing games. Even though my boss and co-workers are all nice and treat me like I'm a member ot the team. And even though I don't have to do that much work.

But even so, /jp/, I'm still feeling very miserable and sad. I don't even want money, goddamn. I wish I could just stay home every day, being poor and using my outdated computer. I don't need too much money to be happy. As long as I can have a meal a day and Internet, I can carry on living just fine. Now I have to sacrifice my happiness just for the sake of something I don't even know. Shit.

When I was a NEET, sometimes I would just say out loud "It is awesome to be alive, fuck yes", and that was the honest truth. But after I started working, I seriously considered killing myself, for real. I'm still not sure if I should give up or not, but damn.
Luckly, my internship ends in 6 months. That is, if I don't decide to quit sooner. But my boss is pretty satisfied with my work, and it would be a huge problem if he decided to hire me for real.

To any of the dudes who work, are all first jobs like this? Is it normal to cry your eyes out at the lunch breaks? Is there something I can take to ease the feeling? Goddamn I want to be a NEET again.

My last job was brutal; the people there were assholes, the company was getting away with all kinds of illegal shit that was harmful to my health, poor working conditions were wrecking my back, and they (illegally) called me a part time intern despite me being there 40 hours a week for a solid year just so they could avoid giving me benefits and sick leave. I almost_fucking_died and was down a week with my lungs filled with fluid after my boss came to work sick then spent the entire day working side by side with me - no sick leave, I'm out a week's pay and stuck with a doctor's bill because I had no coverage.

That job was hell on earth, but still better than what I have today without it. The only reason I left that job was because they were setting me up to be pinned with liability for shit that was their fault, and I already knew they sold the building I worked in so there was zero chance of me having a job there after another month.

Actually, my first 'real' job made me feel like that too and I'm not even a neet/aspie/whatever. It sucked bad for a few weeks, but then I started getting used to it, and realized "Hey, wait a minute, this ain't so bad."

So try giving it time.

If you're still having trouble, though.. One thing to keep in mind is that you might need a job that requires your actual attention. One of my jobs sucked because it was absolutely mindless and gave me time to think, but since I was going through a rough patch it just made the whole day seem to stretch out forever.

When I got another job where I had to use my noodle more, it actually seemed to pass by really quickly. Then, it was just get ready, go to work, relatively easy blur, then back at home to fap to lolis.

Former NEET/hikki here that faked being sick and skipped school to stay home almost every day since about the 2nd grade, and dropped out in my freshman year of high school. My social phobia was so bad I'd do ANYTHING to get away from people.

In the past year, I've decided I need to move forward with my life. I'm still unemployed, but I got a GED a little while ago and now I'm in community college working towards a transfer degree, and possibly going to apply to be a PC technician for my college (since they have tons of computer labs and not much staff).

It's really hard at first to go out into the world, but if you start slowly, it won't be too overwhelming. For example, I started community college only taking 1 class, and this semester I'm taking 2. Next semester I'm going to take a full load. I'm sure if I just started out as a full-time student I'd be overwhelmed (both socially and academically) and fail at everything.

The key is to take baby steps.

hell, my older cousin was NEET for a good 3-4 years, flunked out of college and everything, stayed at home, watched anime, guy was basically a complete loser, then he decided he had enough and wanted to fix his life and got a job on a ship
of course he started small, working the all the dirt jobs so to speak at first, now he's a junior mechanic and sailed all over the world, Yokohama, Sydney, Dubai, etc.

Sure, if you can find openings and haul your ass there.

Not to say anything bad about the shipping industry, but just because one person found personal salvation from something that depends on the ports doesn't mean someone who lives in a suburb hundreds of miles from the coast can use it to escape the mud they're stuck in. What long-term unemployed people really need is to put themselves where the openings are, for most people finding a regular city with heavy commerce would be closer than the nearest port.

Also, unfortunately, I don't think there are a great many openings in shipping. It's a business that doesn't die, but the money is mostly tied to world trade in luxury goods - something that takes a deep painful hit in a global economic downturn. If you tried to enter now you'd probably be surrounded by a large number of people with great experience and no place else to look. You're not going to climb the ladder and rise to a higher position when you're surrounded by veterans who are desperate for a paycheck.

I think the point he was trying to make is that you have to find your niche and do something, like his formerly-NEET cousin, not that you have to necessarily become a sailor.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5972032
That's part of the problem; 'finding your niche' can't work when you're stuck in the suburbs. What you have to do is basically move some place else, be a renter in someone else's home, and pay them with part time fast food work. The purpose of this isn't to fix your problems, but to carry yourself into another town where you *might* fix your problems. You can't do much of anything without moving away from a place like that, and you can't move without a destination to move to.

One of the biggest reasons why there are so many unemployed 20-somethings today is because 20 years ago everyone decided they wanted to live in the suburbs. Suburbs are nice if you own a car, but unemployed 20-somethings can't afford cars.

>become a begger

I have actually seen beggers that make more money than most low level grads. The main key is location and look. Being a NEET you can most likely be begger status looking just forgetting to shave for a few weeks and wearing your oldest clothes. Location: you really need to live in a city for this to be worthwhile.

Stand on a corner with a $1.25 spritzer bottle and a balled up magazine. Wipe peoples windows and don't leave until they give you coinage.

I'm not who you think I am, I'm the one responding to the guy suggesting a career in sailing.

Moreover, I challenge anyone and everyone to critique the plan I have laid out. There aren't any jobs in the suburbs, so the solution is to get out of the suburbs. Doing this costs money, so the method is to start small (call your relatives and ask them if they would take you in as a renter, apply to burger joints in the city to pay them.) Having established a foothold, you can then seek out gainful employment in the area where it exists, no longer confined to the place where you grew up which can not provide you with a paycheck.

I didn't read the whole thread so some people might already have talked about this but I here's a few advices. Note that I'm talking about Europe, things might be different in the USA.
Let's assume you are a high shcool drop out. You can :

- Become a priest. Though it needs at least 5 years of training. If you don't give a shit about religion and never read the bible, I think they'll discover your true objective soon enough.
-Join the army. It can gives you some experience as well as some skills. It can also be a huge pain in the ass, especially if you're sent to war without your consent.
-Become a security guard. Either with some short training or directly with army/police experience.
-You can also find some work in supermarkets, storehouses, etc... But there are a lot of people applying.
-If your problem is that you don't have a car and everything is far away (and you don't have any money), you can try to get a loan to buy a cheap one.

Well of course everything is easier said than done.

There's a certain romanticism about being a NEET to me. I can only pretend to be one during the summers. I had a week post a summer class in July where I got to be one. Now I have to go back to class today, and finish the process to get a biomedical engineering internship that I won't be paid for for at least two semesters.

I'm planning to study abroad next year and go on to a graduate program, but goddammit, I wish I had a year or so to be a NEET before doing all this shit. I don't have the motivation for it even though I do it. I don't know where the hell I find the energy to do any of it.

My first job was working for subway, literally across town, so it was a 30-45 minute bike ride. But all of my coworkers were cool. The owner of the store was a family freind and weight lifting partner. Never got a check, i did get stubs for tax reasons but i was paid in DOSH. Felt good.
I was 14 and kids in my grade would laugh at me biking. Id just tell them i have more money than their mommy and daddy will give them and kept going.

And ex homeless here. After i graduated HS last year my mom went apeshit and kicked me and my father out. My father had unemployment because his contractor laid him off a few months prior, so he stayed in one of those heartbreak hotels. But i was staying in the streets of downtown minneapolis for months. Was bad at first but the summers in MN are great so i could easily go look for a jorb. Given i had to wash clothes at the river and bathe at the river but hey. I'm alive, in arizona, and about to move into an apartment in a few days. Shit is looking up. Hell, i have time off in september so i can see my father for his birthday in MN. If youre not a pussy you can handle your own on the streets.

If you're a giant wimp and made of vaginas i guess you could move to a city that is cushy for homeless like san fran or seattle.

oh yeah, if you're afraid of needles, don't even fucking bother- you're just going to have to live the rest of your life drowsy as fuck.

The reason I say this is you have to get SO MANY fucking blood tests that your mind will be blown. First time I went, 6 vials of blood. Second one, 8 vials. Third one was a retest, so only 2. Next time, 4 vials. Now that they've got it mostly figured out, it's down to 3 vials of blood per test.

How to stay on welfare forever (in Ontario, Canada)- my experience.
>Apply for welfare
>Tell your worker you have a severe anxiety issue
>Get casually diagnosed, which is not hard. Our welfare office had a in house psych. Make sure to primarily mention your anxiety. Although this is a symptom, it's too hard to actually pin point unless you go into further study.
>They will ask you to go get formally diagnosed, and until then- you don't have to work. At this point, you are unable to get disability- but they are obligated to help you.
>Procrastinate, excuse: you are anxious of hospitals.
>Finally go into the hospital (it was McMaster for us, find out they have an 'anxiety' clinic- which is bullshit, but whatever). They diagnose you if not with severe anxiety disorder, something else. Lay it on thick.
>Report to welfare that you have been diagnosed and cannot work because of your illness.
>They ask you to go to tribunal to get disability because you're not 'really disabled'.
>Go to tribunal, get accepted for disability. You win paychecks forever
>If not, go to tribunal- get rejected, have a fit enough to convince your worker that they thought wrong. Keep trying and pushing your disorder. Welfare forever. Eventually die or get disability.

In the mean time, try to get max allowance ($1200 or something) and get on the geared-to-income housing plans. My mom pays maybe $250 a month for a 2 bedroom swank apartment, uses rest on cigarettes and ramen.

This is my mom's 5th tribunal and 8th year on the welfare, I was living with her for the first 5 years there and was formally diagnosed with disorders I didn't really have so we all could get out of working. My mom's a true NEET/hikki and sits on IRC's all day. I do miss taking it easy, but my mom's a total mess and no longer my mother. Never be like her. ;_;

I will never, ever do this. I don't give a fuck that I've been off-and-on NEET for the past 2 years and only been able to land short term contracts, playing the "enthusiasm" card is tantamount to saying "I've given up, but please hire me anyways."

You may think I'm full of shit, but when the economy did not suck balls I was the head of marketing at a small business. I interviewed other people for jobs at the company, and while I didn't have the final say on who to hire (HR did that), I had veto power to say "definitely no" to a candidate. EVERY time (and I literally mean every time) the prospective employee I was interviewing started blathering about "enthusiasm" rather than "qualifications," it was obvious they were woefully unprepared for the job. Only once did I give the okay to someone who played the enthusiasm card, and he turned out to be the most dimwitted lazy shithead in the world and we fired him after 3 months.

I interviewed at another company about 6 months ago and the cunt who was interviewing me said "you haven't mentioned anything about your enthusiasm, you need to be enthusiastic!" I wanted to punch her in her whore mouth. I told her I didn't want the job and left.

God I have had so many fucking blood tests the last couple years. One time I did an insulin tolerance thing where they gave me some shit drink with like a million grams of sugar and took my blood (from the elbow region) 6 times in 3 hours.

The only thing I can recommend if you think you're ill or something is to go to cleveland clinic or similar. Your doctor will want to send you to a psychiatrist but dont be afraid to get diagnosed with a mental disorder - most people who are chronically ill eventually develop mental problems. Be careful if they give you drugs though - they might not be all that great for you.

One suggestion (besides thyroid problems) is to take a tilt table test. You might have orthostatic intolerance (low blood pressure after being on your feet too long) or some other heart disorder. A lot of people on /jp/ probably have some form of dysautonomia. Dysautonomia is basically where your body has trouble keeping homeostasis. There's usually no cause and the symptoms are very vague so it tends to cause a lot of confusion for doctors.

Some people might simply be lazy but some people might have underlying medical/mental problems. I used to have insane work ethic -- used to work at baseball parks, mow lawns made 3.5+ GPA and all that. Close to the end of my first semester of college I got really sick all of the sudden and just never got better. I cant work. I can barely go to college anymore. Even if I were healthy enough to work my head feels... different, like I would probably have no motivation to ever go work somewhere even though I still have a desire to get a job and stand on my own two feet. It's more than just laziness.

While I'm legitimately disabled there are probably a lot of people slightly healthier where work is extremely difficult but where they're not quite disabled.

- Low grade mental illness
- Thyroid problems (sometimes thyroid disorders are really hard to diagnose -- you can have normal thyroid levels but still have a thyroid problem. Some people need above average or bellow average levels of thyroid hormone to function properly)
- Immune system disorder
- Chronic fatigue syndrome (a real disorder look it up)
- Dysautonomia
- Sleeping disorder
- Some other rare disorder

- Tobacco (try nasal snuff, not terribly bad for you like most tobacco)
- Antidepressants

This is the truth. Have you ever taken that mandatory multiple-choice Walmart test? You basically have to lie on some of them with great gusto, as the answers they want are pretty alien things that nobody would logically pick. It's like that with a lot of things, really.

Even with a lot of places, interviews and the like are basically a shame where both participants know it's full of shit but we still do it anyway out of habit, and with the intention that maybe it'll weed out the people who are obviously insane or otherwise have a real massive problem that would make them a liability.

I think it might be a lack of mental energy. I dont know if there is such a thing but it feels like my head is just tired -all the time-. Caffeine does very little to help. I would like to do all kinds of things -- daily things like going to class, hanging out with friends*, playing video games, programming and more long term goals like going to japan etc. I recently moved into my apartment -- took three days and had really bad headaches the whole time. I dont just lack the vitality to work I lack the vitality to even do my own things. Even writing all of this is exhausting, my brain is going to be "drained" for a several hours now. The same thing happens if I play video games -- VNs have been about the only games I've been able to play for a couple years now cause they're so slow paced.

I have a feeling tobacco might help a lot. I've never used it regularly but my experience the few times I've smoked gas-station cigars have been positive. There are also these drugs called nootropics you can get for free off the Internet. The best one I've been able to find is a drug called L-Huperzine A. Chemically it has activity similar to nicotine but isn't addictive.

* Another theory I have is that a lot of people who are antisocial just have low energy levels making social interactions difficult.

I think I might have an energy-related disorder myself, but I'm poor to the point where getting things done at hospitals is a big no-no unless I'm dying. That said, I'm not sure if it's legitimate or if it's just my wishful thinking for an excuse.

Anyway, one thing I've noticed is that mental state affects energy as well. As someone who does know real hikkiomoris, I've noticed that their energy level can sometimes depend highly on how they've been taking care of themselves. Eating cheap food, not moving around, not managing their appearance and not showering seems to lower their drive even more, and get them into ruts that can be hard to escape from.

I remember badgering a friend constantly until I finally got her to agree to go clothes shopping and to lunch, and then I worked on getting her moving in all those areas, and with enough prodding I kept her going for a few weeks living like a more normal person and eating right. She got a lot more energetic during that time.

actuall i suffer from similar problems- stay up all night-sleep all day, have ambitions but can't keep my attention focussed an a moment to moment basis. excorsise focuses me (like running for an hour) but this is a focus based on removing all thought and becoming in the moment- but this dosen't last of course. i'd say the solution would be to have a friend who is essentialy a work partner in your hobbies or creative plan. if this is not the case then friends for me are distractions that keep me from doing what i want so like most negative mind states their is some form of logical cycle that need to be brocken- who out their wants to create a story that would propagate into a series of comics, games and a movie? i think a lot of us want that but to wish for something so large- part of that cycle would be to accept what you can do now about it rather than be trapt daydreaming about intended results- i've done this for ten years :(
p.s if you do indeed have dreams of grandure- emagine the energy it takes to be in constant thought of it- like some self imposed matrix undercurrent in the back of your mind- it will continue to drain you till you work out how let go of it or begin those small steps into making it physically real somehow.
