Been back in NEETdom for about 6 months and I've gotten too comfortable with it this time. I feel like I'm bleeding out and not doing anything about it. Whenever the thought of doing anything at all, even reading, arises, I just recoil and literally hide under my blankets again. It's like I've developed this mechanism that automatically shuts down any possible productive avenue. It wasn't this bad when I'd been a NEET for 4-5 years straight earlier.What can I read to slap some sense back into me and bypass my neurotic impulses and reach my guts so I can move on? I know it's a shitty request, but I don't know what else to do. Sorry for the pathetic blogpost.

>>25254314Drink a coffee for a bit of a caffeine boost and then start reading some easy and exciting literature that doesn't take very much commitment to get into. Old pulp stuff like Robert E Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, and HP Lovecraft would be good. Read their short stories and get a sense of accomplishment for every story you have successfully completed, this will build on itself and eventually you might be able to migrate to longer texts with less trouble. You just have to get over that initial hump of resistance and then inertia will keep you going.
if time and length are issues for you, read essays and short stories instead of books
Reminder that not one single person who has made these kinds of whiny threads has EVER gone on to improve their lives on the backs of other well intentioned anons' advice. It just doesn't happen. All they want is a short little dopamine rush where they feel a little better about their woe-is-me spiel which, without fail, they have brought onto themselves and their parents for no other reasons than they are completely lazy cowards who cant do anything but be parasites and subsist through the easiest means available. All they want is safety, not challenge their fragile little egos. I've seen this pattern over and over again. They will NEVER read. They will NEVER lift. They will NEVER get a job. They will NEVER do that one thing that they swear they've been wanting to do for so long. They will NEVER get over themselves. It's an endless cycle of crying and whining and jerking off. Get a fucking GRIP.
>>25254314Get a job at a restaurant or grocery store for a week and you'll remember how good you had it and start using your NEETtime more wisely again. Do this on and off as many times as needed.
1. Harsh white light during daylight hours; total darkness from sundown to sunnup- will improve your mood and fix your circadian rhythym. Fluorescent is best, but you can get bright LED too.2. Destroy any physcial possessions holding you back. Start with the blankets and the bed if it becomes a problem when the blankets are gone. Destroy and remove them from the premises like vermin infesting your life.3. Don't drink coffee, alcohol, soda, fruit juicies, tea; only still water. Special drinks are for special occasions like getting a new job, not to be abused by day drinking.4. Start recycling "body waste" to reencounter your productive gut flora and rebuild your self esteem.5. Get skin into the game. Focus very much on hypnotising or manifesting yourself into feeling obligations.
>>25254314No book is going to magically unfuck you after reading it. Go see a mental health professional.
>>25254314Get /fit/. You need a regular training programme. It will get you off your lazy arse, build self-esteem and add structure to your life.The Greeks knew all this. They regarded physcial fitness as a moral imperative.
>>25254444KNEELING BEFORE QUADS
>>25254444quads of truth...
>>25254444Excellent advice. Retards don't realize the luxury that they've been handed so they piss it all away because it's going to be there in abundance in the next day. You're not aware of just how little free time you have in your entire life so you block it out in your head and proceed to accept that gooning for 5 hours straight isn't alarming. As the song says, it's all in your head, in your short. Problem is, most dudes don't get their head out of their fat swamp asses and just remain in the dark instead of ooooo facing the horror of customer service and HR meetings. If you reside in delusion, realize that had you actually been worth as much shit as you think you are you would have done something with your ''potential'' instead of safely slouching back and relishing in the idea that yeah you could do that, just not right now.
>>25254566What have you done with your life?
i feel u op i'm on vacation rn and i'm not doing shit i just lounge around all day laying in bed listening to audiobooks or maybe shitposting on here. then maybe i go the gym.
>>25254433Fpbp, if op wanted to change his life he wouldnt be asking for book suggestions on /lit/
>>25254578I've made myself and my loved ones happy, had grand old time romping and chomping around in life. What about you, m8?
>>25254606Same. Basically nothing worth mentioning other than having loved ones.
>>25254613Isn't it good?
>>25254314You could take a single course at a university, even online potentially. The classes plus the coursework will go some of the way to structuring your life.
>>25254619Dunno lately i have a drive to maybe do something that helps people or contributes to society and to aquire enough wealth to live comfortably while helping others. My life is going from ez to a slog and im excited to see what i can accomplish in life. And then settle down with loved ones.
>>25254629You could always do a bit of charity work. Interacting with people who are truly in need of assistance and were dealt a grim hand in life could do you a lot of good, regardless of what some of the joyless retards can say (because i've seen some complaints about charity here through the years). Maybe go on a mission somewhere else. Do you have any major gripes with something in particular? You could write about it or put it together in some sort of artistic package to reach others. Write some notes and a bit of poetry everyday if you feel like releasing your inner thoughts in a more productive fashion than shitposting on 4channel. You never know what kinds of accidents your mind might stumble unto along the way.
>>25254639I give homeless people money every time they ask or food. Im round the unfortunate daily. With enough money i could feed a lot of people, or even better, help them learn to feed themselves. There is more than enough food and money in this world fir everyone on the planet to be happy and healthy but most oeople are cunts. Maybe if i can make lives easier even if just in a local community sense. OH AND IM GANNA KEEP SUM MF BEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS
>>25254660>I give smackheads and alcoholics money to kill themselves because it makes me feel smug and superiorMaybe you should kys after all.
>>25254710>I can't give a homeless guy money, he'll just buy drugs and liquor>Plus I need that money so I can buy drugs and liquorMany such cases!
>>25254660I was thinking more along the lines of the ailing, the elderly, the injured, the disabled, the orphans, than the homeless. Where you can provide something more than money.
>>25254719Kek>>25254753With enough free time and money i shall teach them to fish.I like your idea too. But maybe my fishermen will also be fishers of men. Create a chain reaction. Pay it forward to the whole world. We will also have jonny appleseeds and the such (even crab apples free cider for the masses)Im rambling about bout to go to sleep but since you guys asked one time this guy got a free 6 pack and the brand was pay it forward and i asked him for one as a joke and he was real offended.GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY
>>25254566My time spent as a NEET was honestly the most enjoyable time of my life, but towards the end I was sort of where anon is at now. Ever since starting a career I've found the lack of free time rather depressing and I tend to be much more efficient with the time off I have, or at least enjoying the inefficiency if you know what I mean. I'd love to go back being a NEET if possible but I've at least got to save up enough and help my parents as they get older.
