What makes you assume depression and not some other form of mental issue? I think you're projecting there.

What exactly is stupid about making fun of you for telling someone to go to a doctor so they can get a job/education?

Like I said, a doctor is not a fucking employment agency, nor a school. The drugs or "help" a "doctor" gives him might actually end up being detrimental to his mental state and cause him to further relapse into his NEET lifestyle anyway.

It's very easy to be normal, but it's difficult to enjoy being a NEET. If you want to be a normal person then there are many pills which will immediately make you sociable and anxiety-free.

The path of the NEET is a path of isolation, but ultimately it leads to an inner peace and happiness that most normal people would never be able to achieve. It's a road in life not unlike the road that the monks, mystics, or hermits travel.

The doctor isn't an employment agency, I'm pretty surprised you knew given how stupid you've proven yourself to be. Going to the doctor is called taking the first step, a step he'd need to do before even getting back into school or getting work.

>The drugs or "help" a "doctor" gives him might actually end up being detrimental to his mental state and cause him to further relapse into his NEET lifestyle anyway.

Yeah, but he wants a normal life, so he's either going to have to take the risk or continue whining. He wont go to the doctor though, he'll continue whining and he wont get a job or get back into school, he might even make a few depression or "lets be friends" threads though.

What are the things that prevent you from being normal? I'll list some common problems and some quick solutions.

Problem 1: Do you have trouble relating to others, feeling empathy, and knowing how to communicate in a natural non-robotic way?
Solution: 120mg of MDMA. Sounds like a lot, but it's the minimum. Anything less than this will make you feel bad.

Problem 2: Do you have trouble feeling interested in things that other people are saying and are you very quiet in social situations or just find it difficult to think of anything worth saying?
Solution: Low dose of an easy to obtain and less potent amphetamine, something like 10-20mg of adderall would be sufficient.

Problem 3: Do you feel a lot of anxiety when you go outside or when you socialize?
Solution: Either a low dose of an opiate or a benzo would be sufficient to counter this problem. Benzos have a terrible and long lasting withdrawal though, so an opiate would be preferable.

Additionally, if you find that solution 2 causes anxiety or if you find that solution 3 causes apathy then finding a balanced combination of an amphetamine and an opiate or benzo would solve both problems, providing you with social energy in addition to no anxiety.

Please follow use one of these solutions so that you no longer will sit around /jp/ and complain about being depressed.

So let me get this straight, almost you're entire argument consists of "you're an idiot" and assorted other ad-hominems?

>I'd love for you to list out a mental illness which would render him feeling trapped in his lifestyle like he is.

I said mental issues, not "mental illness". One example could be severe anxiety and being socially inept, even though he is not sad at all.

>Going to the doctor is called taking the first step, a step he'd need to do before even getting back into school or getting work.

Like I said, that "doctor" and the mind altering drugs he/she gives him, might potentially have a counter-productive effect and make him relapse harder into his current lifestyle. You are literally assuming you know him and telling him he NEEDS to go to a "doctor" before he can get a job/education.

Do you know what the word need means exactly? You are telling him, without even knowing him beyond his one post, that it is physically impossible for him to get a job or an education, until he goes to a "doctor".

Drugs are quick short-term solutions to most problems. They are not permanent solutions, but most people give up on therapy because it takes a long time and they don't feel that there's any hope of success. Drugs give you an immediate glimpse at what you can eventually have if you stick with the therapy.

Most people my age (I'm 25) have college degrees and careers. They own houses and are married. They probably have sizable savings accounts and plan for the future.

Obviously, I don't have any degrees. And I couldn't afford to buy my own house. I don't have any savings account and once I reach 30 I'm probably ruined forever because I won't be able to save. How does anyone go from NEET to homeowner? I don't think its even possible.

When it comes to "relations" that's even worse. I don't have any experience, all I have to go on is from doujins, but I know those aren't like real life. Worse, if a female found out about this she'd laugh at me and post it on facebook. It can't be helped but I feel like if I had a cute daughter maybe I could experience a small piece of happiness.

>So you actually believe there is no other way on Earth to solve mental issues, other then to take psychoactive drugs or go through "therapy".

What would you suggest?

Cognitive therapy does not require a therapist, but most people have more success with the guidance of a therapist. It's the same reason why it's easier for most people to learn something if they have a teacher than if they try to teach themselves.

If you have social anxiety or anything like this which prevents you from being able to socialize comfortably then the only solution is to go outside and force yourself to socialize until this uncomfortable situation eventually feels uncomfortable.

Drugs can make this easier, but they are not needed. Most people don't have the willpower and motivation required to do it without the aid of drugs though and they are more likely to wallow in self-pity, never attempting anything to fix there problems.

You can demonize drugs and therapy as much as you want, but what alternative would you suggest?

I went to "therapy" a few times, it's complete bullshit. The person wouldn't talk to you if they weren't getting payed, which automatically nulls any potential genuine connection with them. Then the rest just consists of them telling you shit you already now, or things you want to hear.

It made me feel angry and cheated more than anything else. I know what you're going to say, "well you haven't gone to them long enough!".

No, I guarantee you my feelings wouldn't have changed if I went to that stupid shit every single day for the rest of my life.

Therapists can't magically fix you. All they can do is give you suggestions on how to fix your own problems. You can't solve most mental issues with talking alone, especially not social anxiety, limited social skills, or any of the things which most people on /jp/ probably have. They can only be fixed by continuously placing yourself in the middle of the situations you're most scared of and doing this until you eventually adapt and become comfortable/learn how to properly mimic proper social behavior so that you can fit in.

Therapists are just guides, you still have to do all of the work on your own.

Your solutions are forgetting something, "first do no harm". Taking any mind altering drug, any single one you could possibly pick at any dosage, would GREATLY aggravate my mental issues. And if you got me in a room with a pretentious smug ass psychologist, after a nice 30 minute conversation with him I would probably be fucking angry as hell all day, at both the psychologist and people like you who think smug pricks like that are going to "help" me.

That's all that therapy is. Therapists just guide you and show you things that you can do to fix your own problems. All of it is common sense and there's nothing special about what they're saying. Social anxiety? Force yourself into social situations. Don't know how to socialize properly? Keep socializing until you learn how to. It's common sense.

Googling basic cognitive therapy methods and reading through a wikipedia article is all you really need to do and the rest can be done on your own, but many people don't have the drive or dedicate to stick with this if they don't have someone that's there to essentially crack the whip and keep them moving and that's where the usefulness of the therapist comes in.

For example, why would anyone go to a class to learn Japanese when all of the information is available to them for free on the internet? You don't need a teacher, but some people need to have someone cracking that whip so they don't give up.

You don't need therapists, but you do need therapy. Therapy is universal and has always existed, whether you call it self-help or something else it's the same thing. It's just a way to treat a problem that you have.

I find it hard to believe that a 30 year old NEET would care about any of this.

Wouldn't they have gotten to a point in their life a long time ago where they just stopped caring about these things?

I graduated from a good British university with a degree in economics last month.

What a waste. If only I had studied computer science instead. Whilst I am a NEET now with no employment prospects (I don't have any work experience in the finance sector which nulls everything), I am determined to become rich online.

I had an appointment at a volunteer centre today. It was such an odd experience. The fat, short, middle aged woman was incredibly aggressive, I had trouble not laughing at her. When she asked what I do, I told her I'm involved in e-commerce, setting up PPD niches and monetesing cost per action. She then began a tirade telling me how bored she was with me and how she was not impressed. I should have walked out right then, but I stayed because I was so bemused by it all.

Being a NEET is not a curse at all, it is a blessing and you should be thankful for the free time it gives to you.

Are there any cs people here? I did business and felt like it was a waste too. I always thought cs jobs would be boring and tedious.

There have always been two types of NEET. One seems genuinely happy and content living a life with a dim future and minimal social interactions.

The other is pretty much the opposite in that they long first and foremost for social interaction. Most everything in their life is governed by their desire for interaction. Following that they would like a promising future, which usually means worrying about entering schooling or training of some sort eventually in the future. Finally, they're discontent with the labels society has put on them and would like to change their lives for the "better".

Disgusting people, that second group. They really are the lowest of the low. Especially all the people here wanting to get a job, longing for friends outside and being depressed about their NEET lifestyle. Just die already if you are so sad about your NEET life.

I don't see the point. I could study a Masters at Birmingham whilst living at home. this would cost me £8k.

I'm already proficient in front end web development, now I need to learn the harder stuff. I don't think I need to go to uni to learn this when the resources are freely available to me.

You can lead a relatively normal life without being a 'normal'.

I've seen normals, I see them everyday. They wake up, check facebook and leave comments with lots of smiley faces and 'like' other people's statuses. Then they proceed to go to work and have coffee, chat with their colleagues before going home, picking up their kids and making a nice dinner followed by TV and relaxing with their spouse. This is documented on Facebook every day for their friends' posterity.

It's a bizzare, twisted existence. But the alternative is not limited to sitting at home all day and doing nothing; no, that life is boring too.

I seek to pursue as many experiences and sensations as I can. Life is science and the world is an adventure, there will always be time to sit at home and do nothing. Meeting people can be fascinating, taking drugs can be amazing, going to other countries can be eye opening.

What's the difference between a truNEET and a Normal? Nothing, one is simply a socially acceptable way of wasting time; the other is not.
