Im 26yo and i live with my parents. I dont work, never worked, they paid for my college and i dont pay a single cent to help the bills. I feel like im parasating them, but they seem fine about this. They didnt before: until i got my diagnosis (about 4 years ago) they used to pressure me a lot to get a job and a girlfriend. Such pressure doesnt exist anymore, they dont ask anything about girls.The job thing is strange, tho. When i tell my dad i got an opportunity to work as a movie theater employee or something like that, he doesnt seem happy at all, instead he says he paid a ton of money for my college degree and wouldnt be happy to see me in a crap job after all the money he spent. I tell him i want to help the bills and he replies "i dont want you to help with the bills." I say im afraid to never work in my life and he replies: "im already working on the idea of you never getting a job, thats why im saving and investing more on the inheritance you will get after i die, i will leave you with a comfortable life"
>>84410823They give me about 3k per month and the only important thing i use the money for is for the gym, the rest is for eating in restaurants, leisure or dumb stuff like hentai action figures, my parents know i spend on hentai but they dont mind.But with the extended family, its even worse. I have a cousing that was born 10 days before me. She treats me as a literal baby. Ive been to a ton of rock concerts and pro sports games alone, but with her, shes always asking me to put on a fucking autism badge, so "mean people dont pick a fight with me." Who the HELL is going to beef with me? She thinks i will sperg and get angry at a random or something like that. She doesnt let me drink for shit; she thinks vodka will kill me even tho i drink vodka occasionally since i was a 15yo. If she does let a drink a few, its always shit, low-alcohol beer and even then if i try more than 2 cans she doesnt let me drink anything else. Thats a problem because my mom always ask her to be my companion when she knows im going somewhere big: they think "autists hate loud music and people" so no way im going to a place like a Guns N Roses concert alone. When i do manage to go to such shows alone, i need to tell her im just going to watch a movie or something like that but the times i cant convince her then she calls up my cousin and it ruins my experience.Idk what to do.
They love you, you should be grateful for that. Most boomers in America would rather save money for vacations in Europe or New Zealand rather than devout their money to help their retarded (in their pov) son.
>>84410910I know they are doing all that out of love, but i wish they could understand they dont need to overcompensate for not trying to get my diagnosis when i was 6~7, when they first suspected of neuro-divergency (i overheard they confessing that to a psychiatrist). I wish they remembered how they used to treat me and how it worked well; nowadays, my dad doesnt let me fucking shave. If he spots me shaving, he will take the razor from my hand and shave me.I dont want to live forever as a mcdonalds cashier, but i think that working some crap job like that for 2 years would help me to grow as an adult. Every year it passes i feel more baby-like.
>>84410823what is your diagnosis? dafuq is wrong with you?and yeah, your dad is right, that job is probably a waste of your time.you never mentioned getting laid. you a virgin? the only reason i need money is to get laid and eventually have a family. my family has enough money i'd never have to work if i didn't want to start a new family (i'm gonna be the last person in my family since nobody had kids so i have to make my own family to have any family at all when i'm like 50+)
>>84410974Sorry, i had put the diagnosis in the title but i had to rewrite because it was too big for a thread and forgot to write the title again.Its autism.
>>84410952>I wish they remembered how they used to treat me and how it worked well; nowadays, my dad doesnt let me fucking shave. If he spots me shaving, he will take the razor from my hand and shave me.nigga what is this bullshit. now i'm convinced your whole family is autistic. all of you are weird. it's good that you're just gonna give up, do nothing, and die. that's wonderful. make sure you leave your shit behind to somebody who's cool.
This is sort of my life as well, so I can relate anon.>25>neet>used to be a full on hikki, but can go outside now>diagnosed bipolar as a teen, dropped out of hs>parents enrolled me in college to stop being a hikki at 18>graduated later>moved back in with parents and haven't left again since>now they want me to go to grad school even though I don't really care thjat much and I'm never gonna get a job in my field>Going along with it to keep them happy for now>dad's basically terminally ill and he has millions of dollars that he's only leaving to me if he dies>extremely lucky that my life is so easy, buit still feel like being smothered ios why I'm so undeveloped todayI feel like a lot of genxer/boomer parent think that graduating college is still a ticket to the aristocracy or something and they try to assess your worth by your education, while that has been completely deprogrammed by young people who usually say that education is a waste if it's not applied these days. You probably are a parasite, but old people get lonely and they probably enjoy having you around enough that they don't care as much about the money. Neets are basically like housepets because we refused to become adults and are subhuman.
>>84410974And yeah im a virgin, i never saw a pussy irl or kissed. My parents would pressure me into finding a gf but they seem to have lost all hope of me getting a wife
>>84410823Did you end up getting a degree? I understand you want to feel useful. When I was a neet I would clean the house constantly to make up for it. Maybe you can do a small thing like that to feel better .
>>84410985Youre being unnecessarily mean, but youre kinda spot on, most anons are self-diagnosed autists with humiliation fetish or a will to get excuse, but i believe OP isnt one of them because his autism is clearly hereditary. Only difference between him and his father is that his father grew up without internet.
>>84410823Do u want a gf? Are you desperate
>>84411003Yeah i graduated in economic sciences.>>84411017I want one but i have no idea where to find one. I couldnt find one in years of college, now i dont have a clue what to do, im too shy for cold approach and dating apps dont work for me at all.
>>84410823I am on the same boat.my parents wanted me to normiemaxx and work in tech and I failed miserably to work there and I was quiet fired.now I searching to wageslave in a factory and my parents shame me for being a failure even when I never was able to work at a normal job.society can't differentiate between aspergers (autists who are capable to be members of society) and PDD-NOS (autists who can't)I blame the simplification of autism studies and classification by the DSM-5. (also they want to combine autism and adhd, that is literally evil)so society think people like us can be normal because we don't act like low functioning classic autism autists but in the same time forces us to do things we are not capable of doing.society is evil and autists like us are the victims.
>>84411030Your family coddles you too much. And I encourage you do to whatever you want if you are so concerned about growing as an adult.
why not just use your college degree? makes sense that he wouldn't want you to get a random wagie job. try that and then talk to him if your degree is legitimately not helping you despite your best efforts
>>84411115The problem are these fucking HR interviews. I never pass through them. They ask me my social media, a bunch of irrelevant stuff, some bullshit personality tests, etc. Btw i hate Linkedin.
>>84410823minus the autism diagnosis and add a few more years, I have a very similar experience. The best thing you can do is work whatever job, as many hours as you can, and explicitly save all that money for a place of your own. Having that concrete goal is key.I had an equally impractical degree (political and intl affairs), couldn't kiss enough ass to make it, so I worked a shit job right after college, lived with parents, saved $. Tried to move out, but then got canned, so I was back.They think they are helping, but that safety net breeds complacency. I'm now a NEET with no future, whose poor decisions made me unemployable. All my passions are gone, can't form friendships because I have no interests. don't end up like me.
That's me. Im 21 yo, I've been studying for three years, and this is my last year of a technical degree in systems and telecommunications networks. I have no idea what the hell I'm going to do afterward, but so far they won't let me work a regular job. I live with my parents; they just want me to finish my degree. I spend all my time locked up, pretending to study. I'm doing well; I think I'll finish this year. I mostly spend my time on 4chan and YouTube. I have no idea what I'll do after I graduate.
>>84411188>whose poor decisions made me unemployable.how exactly are you unemployable? i know imbeciles with decent jobs just because they have college degrees.
>>84411193I don't want to leave this town. My ex-partner went to the capital and we broke up because a long-distance relationship doesn't last more than three months. I just want to save enough money to get a farm and live in nature, but with the way this country is going, I don't see it as possible. I just hope the apocalypse comes or I become the town's crazy bum.
>>84410823>im already working on the idea of you never getting a job, thats why im saving and investing more on the inheritance you will get after i die, i will leave you with a comfortable lifeGod I wish that were me. Why couldn't I have been born to rich parents who set me up so I can functionally be a house cat? No, instead I get to have autism and be in a family of impoverished dipshits. Nice fucking world, shove it up your ass whoever likes it.
>>84411196I guess I should be clear, I am referring to being employed in a career, something sustainable, with growth.For starters, I'm an addict who was in denial for a long time. I had a breakdown a few years ago after several deaths close to me. I isolated myself from everyone other than my immediate family.All of this made a significant gap in work history. Enough of one that it is a major red flag for every HR dept I've interacted with.Anything other than the wagiest of the wagiest will not hire me. But I'm also in my 30s, so I'm less desired for those as well.
>>84411249>All of this made a significant gap in work history.Why not just lie and say you did unregistered grey market shit like working for a relative or a friend of the family?
>>84411260It never gets that far in the process. HR is retarded, but they know what 7 years as a "self-employed entrepreneur" means. And the jobs I had hoped to make a career of run extreme backgrounds checks and references.
>>84410823Do manual labor
>>84411193literally mei just have no idea what to do lol
I can sorta relate. My situation isn't as extreme but my parents definitely coddle me. I feel guilty about how easy I have it compared to all my coworkers, yet I'm still going nowhere. I'm trying to save up for househacking or something but I feel like I don't have the executive function to actually go out and buy it. They also don't let me actually go out and do shit. My younger brother's moved out but my parents freaked out when I wanted to go camping for a weekend.>>84410974Getting a job isn't a waste of time for his situation. Good opportunity to be surrounded by people that don't assume he's a baby and don't want him to be. Yeah it's not really a career but to be honest I don't think he needs one considering he has parents wealthy enough to give him 3k a month for buying hentai.
Those are what parents look like when they actually factor in their own life with their children's future and think about thier offspring instead of themselves.I really don't see a problem with wanting your kids to be set off inheritance. Niggas used to off themselves on purpose to get their family the life insurance grant.
>>84411442Not op but id rather struggle more in life and feel like a man than having to live like a small boy at your late 20s
If you have a college education and can't find better work than minimum wage shit, your parents are right to be disappointed in you. And you are right to be ashamed of this state of affairs.Get a real job, you fuck worthless shit.
>>84411771I dont think you read the same thread as me. OP isnt complaining about his parents being disappointed with him, as he didnt mention any offenses. he is complaining about his parents gaslighting him into thinking hes a full blown retard despite he acting like a normal man before the diagnosis.
>>84411784Also, while i dont think hes 100% innocent, judging by the >>84410838 cousin thing and specially the >>84410952 shaving thing, i think he is right to blame his family a bit too.
>>84411808i concluded OP and his family are insane early in this thread. i'm glad things are this way. so many insane people were able to breed and make money in the past. it's still kinda like that, but at least the breeding is slowing down.
glad Im not such an NPC to be a literal fucking NEET. If you faggots ever got a job you would realize life is actually much better when you have a purpose and a task to do and its just leisure time 24/7.
>>84410823Im in the same boatI am finishing up my masters, never worked but they arent worried about itMy dad basically has just given me the role of fixing up the house and driving my mom around, tis a simple lifeI tried pretty hard to get into stem then research but probably all ill ever be is a landlord
>>84411950Idk man, i dont feel useful working either. I feel like im just helping my boss to get richer
>>84410823same boat except much less financially provided for.To my parents a job is utterly worthless if it's a dead end that doesn't pay well which I agree with but I can't help but feel I'm driving myself into a wall. a job/part time that's not in office can't possibly be that bad, or at least let me find out
>>84410823You should get a job and probs socialise more broI'm in the same boat, but I wanna work despite my parents caring for meWould be weak for me to just sit around doing nothing, hence why this summer I'll get some shitty jobYeah it won't be a uni degree, but at least I'll help themIt's only fair like that in my eyes
>>84410823>I dont work, never worked,Why not?
Man, you're so lucky to have good parents like this.You have no idea how lucky you are, man. Many people here would KILL to have such good parents.If you want to make them happy, you know how to do it, and it's not a crappy job.YOU HAVE YOUR ENTIRE LIFE ACCOUNTED FOR BECAUSE YOUR PARENTS ARE GOOD. REMEMBER THIS AND APPRECIATE IT. I WISH I COULD HAVE THAT.
>>84411950You're the NPC who is happy with some guy telling him what to do lmao. I've never seen more cope coming from a wageslave.
>>84413642there is a fine line. parents who truly love you want to see you grow, mature, become self functioning, independent.parents driven by fear smother their kids with affection, refuse to let them fail, don't equip them for the future, want things to remain static.>t. someone whose parents are the latter
>>84413671It's a way better deal to have overprotective parents than have parents who kick you out at 18 or let you rot/die and don't care about you. A far better deal.Is it still dysfunctional? Sure. It's not perfect.But think of the alternative where you have to wageslave 24/7 just to rent a room so you don't end up homeless.His dysfunction is fixable. Those kind of parents you can reason with. He can talk with them, tell them he needs more harshness, tell them they need going out more, whatever. It's fixable.The narcissistic pieces of shit who just don't care about you? They aren't fixable.
I have two sons and if either turned out like you, OP, I'd be dead on the inside. I wouldn't show it to them but I'd feel like a failure and I'd be so disappointed in them. Your parents likely feel this way.
>>84413694I guess its always a grass is greener thing, huh? From personal experience, they really cant be reasoned with. The only fix is a hard disconnecting. Their kindness is chains.And imo they are just as narcissistic. They care more about their own fears and status quo than you as their child
You should at least work on a skill at home. Make art, make a game, anything is at your fingertips at this point. Why? Because you have what no other wagie can grasp: time.
>>84413855No, it's not the grass is greener on the other side.It's:>You have to work 40h (often more) a month in shitty jobs, have no free time, nothing, live in a shitty rented room with a lot of scum; almost zero free time.vs.>Live comfy in your childhood home while being able to afford whatever you want and do whatever the fuck you wantWhat are your parents gonna do if you go get a job? Kick you out? Makes no sense. They say they don't want you to get a job but if you get one in that situation they won't really care.Plus, when they die...... you have the entire house to yourself. Plus inheritance. Are you shitting me? People work for 30+ years slaving away for half of what you are guaranteed.And you are trying to equate those two situations? Are you for real? Have you seen what the job market is like in this world?
>>84413904I'm not op btw. he does seem to have it "easier" in the sense that his parents are trying to set him up with an inheritance. But they are still hurting him in the long run.My parents completely and utterly failed to raise a functioning adult. Well two if you count my sibling. This isn't meant to be a trauma dump dick measuring contest, I'm just saying shit parents can be shitty in a lot of different ways.And yes, I am very familiar with the job market. that's partly why I'm still trapped myself.
>>84410823As a 26 year old with diagnosed autism who is just graduating college now with a degree that's unlikely to result in a job, your post speaks to me. I've had two jobs thusfar and they've been short gigs that I mostly enjoyed. I'd reccomend hiking the Appalachian Trail. If you complete it, then it gives your dad something good to say about you. It gives you a chance to live on your own for a while. It improves your body and your psyche. You meet lots of interesting people. It helps tremendously with executive functioning since you actually get a chance to relax for the first time in your life.The other thing you could do is get the job and then just save the money. Tell your dad that the job market is fucked up, but you still want to move on and have some kind of meaning in your life, even if the job is pointless. Also don't drink, dumbass. It's stupid. Smoke if you have too. It shortwire's people's brains because autistic people don't smoke. Also, don't waste people's help. Swollow your pride. It's only making you waste perfectly good fruits. You just have to figure out the mental stuff, and your pretty much set for life. You're not doomed just because the job market sucks right now. You can still do things and figure something out if you keep improving your life and trying. Vegeta became a super sayan in his early 30s. There's still time. You graduated from college. That's a decent accomplishment. You're capable of doing a good enough job at things.>>84410952>he spots me shaving, he will take the razor from my hand and shave me. Kek. Have you talked to him about this? That's goofy. What does he think you're going to do when he dies? Just not shave? Teach a man to fish...>i think that working some crap job like that for 2 years would help me to grow as an adult.Hike the AT or PCT. Dumbass.
>>84413904I think OPs biggest problem is that he is in his 20s ans his parents still see him as young, but if they will be this patient when hes 40 is a mystery.
>>84410823So much more than what most families would do. You are very very very lucky. You should probably do something with that degree though.
>>84412873>>84413648>the only possible work is enriching a greedy kikeof course no life no experience NEETcels think this. imagine:>working for yourself, you are the boss>working for a boss who appreciates his team and shares the wealth>working for an actual cause you believe in>working for a business you think is legitimately good and have pride about>working directly with people in need>working a physical job that keeps you active and healthy>working a job with a team of coworkers you genuinely enjoyyes a lot of people have soul sucking peon jobs that they hate, and many people don't. my job isn't amazingly high paying but I legitimately enjoy going in there and doing it. It's fun, easy, I have great coworkers a great boss and a great owner and I get to interact with (mostly) great clients. You are beyond retarded if you think humans are meant to be isolated freeloaders 24/7 their entire life. You are missing out on a very essential part of living
>>84413387No HR woman wants me hired
>>84416115you're retarded just say you don't use social media
>>84414234This. Get your shit together before 2030
Same here OP, except I am 24. I want to work too, but I can't get callbacks. No, I won't work a movie theater job either. My parents are the same as yours. They actually don't want me to work those jobs and would rather have me NEET since they are well off. I'm getting really tired and finally thinking of just lying on my resume. Not exaggerating, straight up lying lol. Fuck this shit
>>84416842I finished my degree in 2025, so idk what would i lie about in the resume, i dont think they will believe in worked before
Lucky for you that you have it so easy, at least your dad isn't letting you waste time on trash slave labor.
>>84411431Send me your Discord, so we can talk about things sometime.
>>84410823>>84410838Sounds like the ideal NEET life. If you are not baiting you need some perspective.
>>84410823Your father is an honorable man which is more than I can say for my own. You can help your family by doing chores and helping with shopping.
>>84410823>>84410838firstoids will spew shit like this and then claim they suffer
