I'm curious, what exactly does /jp/ do for a living? Or rather what do you do all day?

I personally live with my dad and we both do nothing but trade stocks all day to barely scrape by.

[Anonymous No.]

I go to college and have no job. I just live off small amounts of money my mother gives me and she pays my rent/utilities. I wish I could just drop out and go on welfare. I can't stand doing this anymore.

[Anonymous No.]

Is dat some Pop?

My dad invested money in the 1980s into gold. To give an example of the money they have my parents moved recently and bought a house with cash. They pay my rent and utilities and food. So long as I don't ever care to watch movies or buy games I can live this way till they get sick of supporting me.

[Anonymous No.]

recently started working full time at a consulting firm.

Before that, I was NEETing it up and halfheartedly searching for work to keep my parents from bugging me.

Sometimes I miss being able to take it easy, but now I have expendable cash for those figs and shit. Not all of us can apply for asspie disability welfare money.

I really don't act rude to people. I would say hi back, but try to leave it at that. When it comes down to the general gossip stuff such as what did you usually do after work, what kind of music are you into, what movies are you into, then those type of stuff I can't give a good answer too so I just avoid them all together.

If I'm ever in the situation where I am asked about my personal life I just make shit up. I can't just say "I just go home and rub one out to cartoons."

I just feel people wouldn't understand me or accept me that is all. I just started my career so I feel my awkwardness doesn't stand out as much, but I feel as I get older it is only going to get worse. For example, a lot of the senior workers have pictures of their kids and family and they like to talk about stuff like family events and community stuff. I'm just afraid that I'll look creepy when I'm in my 30's and never had any relationship or community experiences.

i go to college and put in about 35 to 40 hours a week studying. i don't have a job nor do i have time to work more than 12 hours a week. i live with my mom and i get scraps of money from her and my financial aide. i won't get a summer internship because i basically don't have any references, so i'm trying to work out some volunteer stuff that could scale up to paid-work someday.

it's a ten minute walk between my classes and an all-out hike to the parking lot. combined with the mental stress of keeping up with a demanding major and the fast pace of the quarter system, i sometimes feel like i am dieing. i yearn to take it easy, but considering that if i quit i will likely end up homeless, i keep going, and going, and going, and going... i'm on my sixth year and still don't have a bachelors ;_;

I don't think it's something as simple as having or not having a job, girlfriend, etc.

I have one good friend irl, we work on and off writing music and VN storylines together. One time we were talking about some "normalfag" who we both know, and how this guy probably wouldn't be fit to help us with our original content creation. My friend said "You can tell that he's never really wished to die." I was surprised at his statement, because although neither my friend nor I are depressed or act "emo," what he said made perfect sense to me.

I own a small business but I don't make any money from it. It does pay for my hobbies, though. I subsidize my expenses with student loans and I don't live alone. In school full time, which takes up my days, and my nights are spent doing the usual otaku shit.

NEET with my parents.
Going to have to get a job soon, been out of high school for two and a half years. Actually turned in an app today.
I didn't put down any references or past experience, and probably asked for too high a wage.

For now I do nothing but play touhou or whatever fighting game has my fancy, browse *boorus and pixiv, and chug caffeine. I've put serious thought into going to fighting game tourneys and making some cash that way but that would involve direct contact with people and stuff.

These threads tend to boil down to just a few different types of people.

The first is the ones that have a real job that pays well. Everyone here hates them convinced they are normalfags. maybe...

The second is the stereotype NEET/ Hikis. They are in college or about to be. They are most likely struggling or have dropped out. They don't mind posting their story since it is normal for the crowd here.

The last is mostly silent. Those outside of college age who typically don't want to talk about it. They have the saddest stories no doubt, but blogs are not very welcome here anyway.

I am surprised this thread hasn't been deleted.

I work 8 hours a day on a dead end job, I live far away from there so 2 hours per day are wasted on going and coming from work, and another extra hour in the middle of my shift so I can have dinner, and then I always end up sleeping 9+ hours because I seem to be tired all the time.

This gives me a couple of hours per day to browse /jp/ and read porn games. I mad.

The "normalfag" rating system is, much like the HURR NEWFAG/OLDFAG, based on their own self. Every person will consider any person more normal than them a normalfag all the way up until the guy who shits on his floors and sleeps on it while never leaving his house.

Really, I'd just think the only people who are normal are ones that either: shitpost on the board with the typical "LOLOL U FUKKEN NERDS WILL NEVER GET LIAD XD SHE AIN'T REAL NIGGAZ" or people weirded out by the things /jp/ does.

Normals to my mind are the people looking to society and culture to define themselves. The shallow and sickening people who all dress the same, listen to the same music and don't have any real things of their own they care about. They are usually mean people who enjoy drama too.

[Pure Edge and Sentiment !!SXCNx94fF/7 No.]

I have been a NEET for a good 6 years straight now. I have Asburgers syndrome and social anxiety disorder. Since I have not had any social contact in 6 years, I am unable to work and receive disability money (750 CAD a month).

I spend my days sleeping, reading books and philosophy, watching the news, playing games, listening or making music, or I just sit around. I've kind of run out of things to do, so I just take everything slowly. I never answer the door or phone much, so only really make contact with others with e-mail, for paying bills and stuff. I have not had friends in these 6 years, not a single one. I've had a cat, though, so it's okay. People piss me off and I can't stand to spend time with them. I bet some of you guys would be okay, but I'd probably be too weird to be around anyway.

Personally I don't mind my life, it's quite a hedonistic way to live. I stopped caring about anything years ago, so now I just wake up to enjoy simple interests.

Start seeing a psychiatrist so you'll have a history and a potential diagnosis to exploit. I doubt there are five people on /jp/ that couldn't get some trumped up diagnosis. Find a pill pusher and they probably won't even question your intentions. After a little while, start applying for SSI. They might turn you down but keep at it and you'll eventually get on if your story is good enough. From there, start applying for whatever other services you want. Housing, food, etc. Bonus points if you have little enough stuff and enough parental support to move somewhere cool.

From what I have heard from people online in my situation, applying for such benefits in the US is much harder due to the health care system there. In Canada, it's all socialized and if you're screwed up they'll help you. I suspect you'd need a real strong diagnosis of a medical issue before they'd start sending you money for anything.

I'm 22 and was formerly a NEET for four years. I now have a job and live with my grandmother and aunt, as my parents have long since kicked me out. I take Zoloft and Vyvanse. I've typed up a response for this thread at least three times, and have deleted each one before posting.

I work the closest thing to a desk job at my local Best Buy, gladly locking myself in the sales development room whenever I get a chance. I work just enough to make a good impression and support my hobbies. As I have no expenses, all of my money goes towards frivolous things like computer parts, books, video games, and figures. I occasionally go out for nighttime walks, but by far spend most of my time on my computer.

Naturally I have no friends, so I frequent a local massage parlor for boosting my self esteem and social interaction. I'm something of an oddity there, as I'm not a creepy old man, and am thus treated very well. I bring them coffee and chat in broken English, and they giggle at my awkwardness and tiny penis. A fair trade, I think.

Honestly, life isn't too bad.

Student. If I'm still living with my parents here in 2-3 years, I have no idea what I'll do. It's not that I dislike them or anything, I can't even describe what I feel. I just want out. I have no motivation to work, either, or schoolwork for that matter. It's beyond comprehension how I manage to do so well in my classes when all I do when I'm not there is indulge my hobbies whilst trying to avoid my folks.

In the last stretch of art college, majored in game art. Terrible financial decision but oh well, at least I have artistic ability. Shouldn't be too hard to find a job.

Might shoot for Japan, but not hell-bent on it or anything.
