NEETs have a very strange world view, they think that if they don't do anything with their life and live with their parents or live off unemployment they will live a happier, more fulfilled life than if they decided to try to do something with their life and go to a community college or get a job or work.They say "I don't wanna work at a soul sucking dead end job doing boring repetitive tasks that I hate" and then simultaneously they end up being a NEET doing soul sucking boring repetitive tasks (anime, TV, vidya, food) that used to give them pleasure but now they end up hating those copes because of the law of diminishing returns and hedonic adaptation. I think from personal experience living the NEET lifestyle is more soul sucking than working at a dead end job, because even working at a job you hate yourself but still feel like you are making progress, that you are working towards a goal, and a means to an ends. But as a NEET you'rd just living the same life over and over, going on the internet, playing games, sleeping in, eating junk food, not having any money.I just find it depressing and personally I would rather be making minimum wage than live such a depressing lifestyle.unless your a RICH NEET then I can understand why you would want to be a NEET because you dont NEED to work so you can work jobs that you enjoy rather than working just for the money, but if your a poor NEET then being a NEET is basically financial suicide, because your never gonna get back the years you spent rotting and doing shit on the internet wasting your life away
>>33781698>personally I would rather be making minimum wage than live such a depressing lifestyle.It's less depressing than waging.
>>337816986am: Wake up, feeling like you've been in a car crash. Drag yourself out of bed to possibly force a shit out too early in the morning, shower and get dressed. If you're extra tired you just get dressed and leave after starring into the abyss and pondering life for an hour.7am: Commute to work. If you're lucky it will be a 20 minute walk or drive. That's probably not the case. You probably enter the rat race with fellow wagies on the road, foot paths, public transport for 30-40 minutes8am: Enter the building wanting to die. Manager smiling from ear to ear, hello happy campers, team meeting !1pm: You've got a choice. Sit in the work canteen with people you can't stand, or walk back to your car that takes time out of your lunch break, but gives you time to reflect on how you hate your life3pm: You want to go home, but you've got 2 more hours5pm: You leave work, enter the rat race again, do it all over again6pm: If you're lucky, you walk in through the door. You're unsure if you want to wank, shit, eat, sleep or cry.7pm: After pondering for an hour, you force yourself to eat, household chores are on your mind, you do some, leave others8pm: You're tired as fuck at this point. You shit post, scroll some shit on social media. You start to have a good time, but then oh shit time flies when you're having fun and its10pm: I need to go sleep, need to be up at 6am. Now I've got a choice, cry myself to sleep or stay awake for a 2-3 hours more and wake up even more exhausted. You rotate those options over 5 days.11:30pm: You've been in bed for 40 minutes exhausted and unable to sleep, but then go to sleep6am: Alarm goes off
>>33781698copethe end game of waging is saving up enough to be able to NEET for the rest of your lifeif you can't find something to do to fill fulfilled other than working for shekelstein's benefit then you don't even have a soul to suck
>>33781698Being a NEET is like being in a time machine except it only goes forward in time, and you don't get to see what YOUR life is going to be like in 10-15-20 years or whatever you only see what other people's lives are like.You get to see other people grow up, get married, move to other cities or another country, have kids, work up their career or change careers entirely. You get to see your nieces or nephews grow up from being being babies to little kids to teenagers to young adults.You get to see your parents grow old, and weak, and sickly. They no longer annoy you with telling you to go get a job or to go see a doctor, they can't be bothered with having screaming fights from revisiting arguments from when you were 8 years old or whatever.You just wake up one day and there's a boomer unc staring back in the mirror who still thinks he's going to become a youtuber millionaire.>>33781705Most people don't cry for 4 hours a day because they don't know how to shit, or whatever it is you're trying to describe there. That's a lot of time wasted.
Everyone with common sense knows this. NEET have nothing but an on lines audience of 14-year-olds shit posting with them. The difference is that the 14-year-olds have leftover time to waste in-between class, still. But the NEET don't. They're fucking themselves over hard by resigning to minute to minture, hour to hour, day to day comfort.
>>33781698I've tried both working and being a NEET.Being a NEET beats working any day. If you manage to get out of the hedonic spiral, the existential crisis barrier, only lack of funds will be your pressure. Other than that you can pursue intellect at your pace, you can develop creativity.On the other hand by working a soul crushing job, if you're a normie maybe you can tolerate it. Day in, day out with no purpose, making profit for someone else, only goal being "future stability" as if such thing were a foreseeable reality, then you indulge in hedonism in your allowed breaks. But you will never develop yourself if you're living for others. You will have to crush your own dreams, you will have to give up any time and development for yourself, any pursuit.I guess having a perpetual part time job would be the best of both worlds, while you think to cash in on the carefully cultured creativity and intellect long term. The three are paths with different kinds of suffering. Physical for job, existential for NEET, frustrations for the mix.
>>33782229I'm a 42 year old NEET and have zero regrets. It's not that deep. Although I'm a traveler NEET who wanders between cities and towns on a motorcycle, so maybe I've had more of an interesting NEET life than an LDAR neet.
Most people have no choice but to NEET. Lots have mental illnesses that prevent them from holding down a job. Very few people are actually content to be a NEET and just live off their parents. I've been bullied psychologically and physically out of school and work due to autism, looks, racism, and just gave up after nothing worked. Now waiting for the right time to ask parents to pay for online college. Does it count to study subjects by yourself in the meantime that you'd need for school? Does it count to do chores around the house? Does that mean I'm a useless parasitic neet?
im plotting how to get lifelong injury at my job so that i can sue my employer and live off settlement lawsuit for the rest of my life its very hard with office job thats 3days a week WFH
>>33782229>Most people don't cry for 4 hours a dayWagies don't have that luxury, maybe 30 mins tops. On the weekends perhaps or during their yearly goyliday.
Why do so many people act like being a neet means you can't have friends, a gf or things going on in your day. There's more to life than studying and working lol
>>33781698BasedI was a neet for 2 years and suicidal. The only “comfy” Neets are rich ones or ones so disconnected from reality they can’t fathom their situation
>>33788630reading this as a 27y old neet is haunting
>>33782229>you get to see other people grow up, get married, move to other cities or another country, have kids, work up their career or change careers entirely. >You get to see your nieces or nephews grow up from being being babies to little kids to teenagers to young adults.>You get to see your parents grow old, and weak, and sickly.

The second I clock out? Vidya and anime.
>>33782229very well put
I spent my twenties as a neet. Don't have any regrets besides that I should've saved more of my autism money.It was good for self-improvement and learning about the world. I had infinite time to develop as a person, which most people do not... most lag behind developmentally due to their lives being dominated by school and then college and then work. I was an idiot at 19, but now I'm smarter, wiser, and more mature than most my age.It only helps if you're putting the effort in though and not wasting your life on video games. I expect most people do not use the free time wisely.
I'm just likenot gonna do the work because Women are better than Men and Work Harder than menKeep coping
It’s resonates with me as a used to be neet. One who 18-19 and only was in their room wasting away. I can never get that time back and now obsessed with self improvement. It’s only time wasted between those two years and it helps put stuff into perspective. Sucks finding a full time job now is fucking hard. I barely even left my room during that time and only went outside at night. My dad gave me pep talks during that time and I felt so fucking alone during that time. It’s honestly not fun unless someone is funding the lifestyle too.
>>33782338>Although I'm a traveler NEET who wanders between cities and towns on a motorcyclethat's not NEETyou are both in education and training
>>33781698only one of those things did I start drinking heavily, and it was having a shitty horrible job with horrible people. Being neet sux but it will never, ever sux that bad
>>33781698Well, I've been NEET since 2014, and much happier than I was being a student and/or wagecuck during my earlier adult life. Yes, I'm literally broke, nothing but Medicaid and food stamps, but I have no bed time, no alarm, basically get to do whatever I want basically as long as I don't have to pay for it. I take joy in simple pleasures like going for a walk alone on a sunny afternoon, and laughing at YouTube videos after dinner. Life is good. I even buy lottery tickets with money I find on the ground.
I keep telling my family I"m going to get a job but truth is i'm schizophrenic and it could probably lead me to another mental crisis or disappointment. I don't know why I say these things I should just get on SSI and be a happy NEET like my peers
>>33781698I deliberately became a loser neet so that women have one less good man available on the dating market. I wasted away all my potential for the sole purpose of becoming a burden on wagies finances and women's need for emotional intimacy and a steady provider.No one exploits my time and energy, that is solely reserved for shitposting and substance abuse.If you haven't taken the neetpill, you don't understand game theory.
I unintentionally became a neet from 19-25 out of apathy and not knowing what to do with my life, and I fucking regret it. Seeing your friends and old friends graduate from university, starting their own families, getting into relationships, going on trips, etc sucks when you aren't doing anything productive in life. I'm not jealous of them, but I hate myself for slacking off for 5 and half years. Thankfully I just got a job at a nearby retail store after months of looking for work, so for now I'm just gonna save up some money, help with the bills around the house, and then eventually go back to school sometime next year. I just hate being broke and useless, and wasting half of my fucking day by playing videogames. I still enjoy playing videogames after work, but at least I'm not spending 10+ hours on them anymore.
