Reading Oblomov really hit me.
This was me at the end of last year.
After a lot of reflection and planning, this is still me to this day.

do you feel no shame over this? your mom resents you. she has to wrestle with her natural love for you as her son, yet carries this resentment over what youve become.

>>25533506
Yeah, kind of me too.

Does he ack! himself at the end? I don't want to read it if he does.

>>25533506
So does he off himself or not?

Slight tangent, but this picture is literaly the only good front cover for this book. For some reason all editions of this book have had terrible front covers.

Seriously asking here: What in the fuck is the cure to this shit?

I'd rather do something than not. Simple as. Even if it's boring to a degree or slightly uncomfortable.

my big problem is being terrified of doing the wrong thing and dying as the guy who was wrong about everything

Someone will think the way you're living (or the way you had lived if you're thinking post mortem) is the wrong way regardless of how you live, just do what you want. Take religious fundamentalists: even if you're a devout Christian, other types of Christian fundamentalism will condemn you, let alone those of other faiths. There is no person on Earth who lives a lifestyle that somebody, somewhere doesn't think is wrong

I don't know about this kind of relativistic reasoning. Truth spares no man.

Who pays for the Internet connection and smartphone/computer then?

Right here mang. I was out of NEETdom for a couple of years then returned home once I got my degree. Haven't even bothered with applying to any jobs since then, and it's been almost two years.

yes and it fucking sucks, it is hell. I'd rather be a wagie living in my own studio apartment than stuck at home. but w/ a lack of work experience and certifications people literally don't give a fuck for any job, even the most basic bitch entry level ones. I even got forklift certified because of the meme and couldn't get hired because "lack of experience."

Have you looked into industrial shit like cnc machinist, plc programming, lab tech for metallurgy testing...etc? They seem to be hiring at decent rates because people revolve in and out of these jobs.

Learn something that might be useful in volunteering work and give you something valuable to offer to those who are in need. This is a bit too happy go lucky for 4channel but i've realized that being in a position where i can make people genuinely smile is the best thing left to do, for me at least. Makes me forget all my neuroticisim.

Keep us updated in a year.

Is it even posible to snap out of a situation like this?

Yeah. By having faith and balls.

It's fascinating how old the archetype of Misaki from Welcome to the NHK really is. I wish I had an Olga in my life to quiz me on the books I've read.

Genuinely just doing something. Anything. And making yourself do that thing -- or those things -- most days a week.
