>soon to be 30>NEETing with extreme gaps in resume>virtually no job experience (less than a year total)>basically no marketable skills>no certifications or special licenses>started a couple of degrees, dropped from each one after less than a year>can't keep focus so studying is off the table>health bad enough to prohibit manual labor and limit what work i can do in general, but not weak enough to have a disability certificate>quickly running out of funds for food and daily utilities (i had some savings and some stuff im buying myself)Talk to me boys, it's pretty bad, isn't it? I'm not sure how to proceed. I'm not really looking for advice, god knows i won't get a good one here. Still, anyone in a similar situation? Feel free to share.
family pressuring me to work 33 y/o neet on neetbux I got being mentally ill no hope but the master of coping now
>>84659464Almost exact same situation as me. I will be dead within three months. They will remember me young and beautiful.
>>84659464>neet 35 living in mom's basementnothing much to say I've also have shit work history and nothing going forward after this. I think I will just collect disability and chill for the rest of my life and pretend I don't exist in this world because I'm such a terrible person I'd rather not get to know anyone anymore. I will probably inherit this house and as long as I fix it up a little I should be chilling for the rest of my life
Wah cry more, please kill yourself you absolute bore Jesus Christ I'm so sick of people treating this board like their own personal tumblr, BE ENTERTAINING, BE FUNNY, I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR FAKE TRAGEDY
>>84659464>20>never had a job>no skills>didn't even finish year 12It's over for me.
>>84659489>20Dumb kid go do a course right now
>>84659464I'm currently neeting off my poor family and everyday I get yelled at and called a bum. I'm afraid everyday that they'll just kick me out for no reasoning I'll end up homeless. Atleast my mommy byuys me vidya and I don't feel bad about it but my sibling make fun of me and call me pathetic
>>84659489yeah, if your parents aren't the type to let you neet, get any job you can, and do a course. it will get harder and harder. at 20 you still have some chance.
>>84659483>I think I will just collect disabilityi wish i could do that. do you get enough to live?
>>84659481>I will be dead within three monthswhy? planning on an hero? those plans never work
>>84659642i'm not receiving it yet but I got someone to represent me, it should be roughly 1000.00 usd once I finally get it. I think I have a good case.
22 and ive been effectively a neet for 5 years, missed over half of my last year of hs but still passed :^)im chronically ill so i cant really do much, this isolation is eating at my thoughat least my family is pretty well off and theyre ok supporting me as long as im working on getting better and getting back to unii will say that its very nice to live alone, my parents are on an entirely different region of the world
>>84659651You dont know me. I have an extreme personality and I am capable of taking extreme action.
>>84659779In what ways, anon? What signs of your 'tism, or whatever you have, made your parents decide that you're too dumb to be working? (no offense) and why on earth would they prevent you?
page 10 bump ive been drinking since 10pm and its now the morning
fucking 5 months of sciatica and countingi just want to sit and cope at my pc all day but i get maybe 3 hours before my leg locks up and i have to lie down until it fucks off>>84661087drinking what
I want a boyfriend I want a boyfriend reee
im 35, never had a job, cant drive a car, was diagnosed a schizo after a stay in the psych ward, barley graduated high school, have no degrees or anything like thati get ssi because of the schizo stuff.
>>84661215>drinking whatvodka as well as a bit of klonopin
Relying on parents that hate you is the worst fate. I wish I didn't waste the last four years doing jackshit. If I can just get degree everything will work out fine.
>>84659464I just don't get itIf unemployment is a national issue why don't they make it easier to have jobs with livable wages I hope AI takes more jobs so that it becomes more of a pressing issue
>>84659464>26>neeting but patches of work history>no valuable skills or experience, only worked easy production line roles>no certs, dropped out of uni in my first semester mostly because I hated being so much older than everyone else and because the commute was killing me>health is shit, been thin but sedentary all my life, waking up with aches in my knee and back sometimes>mom still thinks I'm studying, I can't keep this up for another six months
>>84661422Nothing ever happens as they say.
Day 7,284 of my NEETdom.Too autist for hellish muh customer jobs.Red tape or paywall for any other type of job.Thank Christ I don't live in burgerland.
>I just don't get it>If unemployment is a national issue why don't they make it easier to have jobs with livable wages >I hope AI takes more jobs so that it becomes more of a pressing issueFor this and other reasons, I pray for UBI. Working for the sake of working is sick. The long hours. Especially with mass-outsourcing to slaves.The West should be down to Keynes' 15 hour work week by now. We were 'supposed' to have more leisure time, not be neo-feudal slaves.
>>84661511>Thank Christ I don't live in burgerland.This entire country is oppressive and retarded for no reason. The nearest grocery store is a 3 hour walk. There are no side walks leading to it, just dirt and gravel paths dangerously close to the street. The weather reaches 90F this time of year (32C) you're basically fucked if you don't have car.
I have been a neet for the last 8 years. My grandfather left me a sizeable inheritance that I plan on growing through investment investing, gonna hire a financial planner. I love you gramps thank you so much for everything you did for me and helping me escape this fucked society.
>>84661667F. Though it's pretty much the same deal in any rural area in the West.Sure, we might have some more public transport, but it can be highly irregular outside cities.Supposedly, it's much easier to get and run a cheap car in burgerland. It's way more expensive elsewhere.>>84661681Lucky bastard. Good luck.My grandpa left me some card collections that I cannot sell without a paper trail that would destroy my 'bux.The killer is that he had two homes, worth about a million, that his surviving kids have not (one home) and will not (the other) sell.Even after 200K care costs at the end of his life, and if I got my late mother's third, I should have gotten at least low six figures from one sale.Though that would have killed my 'bux too, it would have bought me a decade of NEETdom, and I could have invested and grown it.My only investment is 1,500 in gold coins, which have gone up in value, but not enough to live on. Oh, and I fucking need photo ID to sell them. I used to have 3-4K in my account, but since the coins, and in trying to cope with this miserable existence, I've been stuck below 1-2K for 18 months.
>>84659812i honeslt don't count anything before 20-21 as neeting. dragging highschool, flunking, gap years, break here and there, there is plenty of reasons for someone 20 or younger to not have any experience. what's your illness? and i do agree, living alone is very nice. im in a similar boat, but im older and don't have enough money to keep on doing this indefinitely
>>84661511A worthless parasite that's bringing down his country for 20 years is the exact type of person that claims to hate burgerland, yet when offered free passage out of burgerland nobody ever takes it because everywhere else is considerably worse. There isn't a single example of a place even marginally better, shithole dwellers sure have big imaginations.
>>84660055i wonder why it was deleted after 10+ hours. i wanted to reply to him and got an error file no longer exists.
>>84662551Nordic countries are way better for neets.
I want to be a NEET so badly and just upload youtube videos all day but I know my parents won't approve it. They're soooo proud of me for being a wagelsave working two jobs, oooo, impressive.Yeah right, I'm miserable as fuck. It doesn't help that I don't have a girlfriend or friends to talk to. If my life is just work work work then why even live?
>>84662641>I want to[..] upload youtube videos all daywhat type of videos? are you recording any right now?>working two jobswhat jobs are you working, and why two? can't you at least quit one?
>>84662804>what type of videos? are you recording any right now?Something something YTPs or just gameplay videos edited slightly. >what jobs are you working, and why two? can't you at least quit one?I'm working one security job and a retail job at target. I'm not sure if I can quit at least one because I'm currently paying my taxes and some bills around the house.
I'm 31 and my parents have been paying my rent since I was 19. Pretty sure I'm getting cut off soon but don't really care as I'm going to get married and my bf is going to take over as my money source. Gonna get something part time as my dog just passed away and I have more free time now (I was his full time caretaker, he was special needs). I was thinking maybe a gardening center or petsitting for other special needs dogs. I can administer injected or oral medication, can deal with seizures, know dog cpr and how to engage with multiple different dog personalities. I made a tepid post on nextdoor about it and 2 people already were interested.
>>84662823>I'm 31 and my parents have been paying my rent since I was 19very based of youare you already engaged or is this marriage a dream plan for now? are you a gay or what?
>>84662817>I'm currently paying my taxesyou know that if you reduced your income, your taxes would go down?so you work 2 jobs and still live with your parents? are you supporting them and they aren't working or what? that honestly sounds like a nightmare and i feel for you bro. No bitches, no friends, 2 jobs, and still living with parents. Sounds rough, how are you holding on?
>>84663012>you know that if you reduced your income, your taxes would go down?I know. Which is why I'm planning on saving some dough before quitting Target. >so you work 2 jobs and still live with your parents? are you supporting them and they aren't working or what?I live with my dad and his job pays the majority of the bills. The only problem is that he's retiring soon and I don't think social security will cover mortgages and utilities. My mom lives alone by herself. >No bitches, no friends, 2 jobs, and still living with parents. Sounds rough, how are you holding on?Not good my friend. Not good. This could infinitely get worse for me but I'm barley holding out. If I go homeless I may sodoku myself.
>>84662997>very based of youThank you for recognizing gameNo my bf said he is proposing before the end of this year and he wants a short engagement. I am a normal female not trans.
>>84662551>A worthless parasite that's bringing down his country for 20 years is the exact type of person that claims to hate burgerland, yet when offered free passage out of burgerland nobody ever takes it because everywhere else is considerably worse. There isn't a single example of a place even marginally better, shithole dwellers sure have big imaginations.Cry more, bitch.
Any 27 chads in here? 1999?
>>84659516Older siblings or younger?>>84659483Most people I meet who collect disability usually have such an unfortunate ailment that I never seem to envy them as opposed to welfare queens
>>84664241Shut it, zoomer. This is a zillennial thread.
I spent most of my 30s unemployed with rich parents (mentally ill so they take care of me)Then a friend gave me chill online job. But I'll never pay off the credit card debt I was planning to just die with
>>84659464Former neet here. Turned forty-two this year. Stupidly felt an insane surge of hope at work last wek and invited a co-worker out that i ride-share with. Felt the spirit of zyzz in me, telling me that i was gonna make it, after all. She immediately rejected me. She doesn't talk to me now or look in my direction. That's what i get for stupidly having hope. Never again.
>>84662817How old are you? What taxes are you paying?
>>84663065My sister literally didn't have a job and just stayed inside all day for ten years since she became 18. She out on weight but man her skin is flawless. Compared to the damage I've put on in just 5 years since 18 working at warehouses. My pinky toe is always twitching and and my feet are like dino skin now. Health really is wealth, hopefully you got to retain yours due to neeting
>>84662823Boyfriend? In that case.... tits. Now. You know the rules.
>>8466431520s. Stupid federal/state taxes
>>84659464>became unemployed a year before the coof>kept putting off looking for a job, figured I had all the time in the world>COVID happened, no one would hire me (refused the vax, white male)>the more time went on, the more the gap in resume was a red flag, the less my studies in school mattered.>moved back in with parents, gave up trying to be employed, now just waiting to diecould I get some retail/hourly/wagie job? Maybe, but I'm competing with people 10 years younger than me for the dregs. and there is no future in that work.
>>84664337You talk like a redditor and should kys promptly saar
>>8465946423, I'm past my wits and choose lesser evil every step I take
>>84664659Tits. Now. Now!
>>84664569what degree do you have?
>>84665197don't wanna dox myself too much but its a shitty humanities double major. A smarter person would have realized that career path requires either a lot more school, lots of connections, or pivot and use it in an unrelated field.I was naive about my chances, and paid the price when I went back after I lost my job
>>84664308I'm mad at myself that I didn't stop paying my cards earlier. I came to the conclusion paying the minimum is pointless and I should have just saved it.It'll be charged off soon. Whatever.
>>84659464Bumping this bread to say thank you OP, this board is getting overrun with normalfags. I shall add to the blogposts later perhaps.
>>84666549you're welcome. im glad this thread got some traction and wasn't saged into oblivion. it's nice to have a chill chat amidst all the porn spam.
>>84662551>yet when offered free passage out of burgerland nobody ever takes ityeah cuz i wanna live in norway not india or mexico
>>84666835I'm pleasantly surprised its been around as long as it has. even if it's just a vent thread.i'll change it up and ask how your day was OP. how'd you stay busy today?
>>84659464>Soon to be 30>Got a CS degree 10 years ago>Ended up only working manual labor/low wage jobs the past 10 years because I'm an idiot>Burn out and quit over and over>NEETing again>Trying to apply to CS jobs, but now it's too late (Resume gap and job market is trash and AI layoffs)>No entry level jobs. No one responds to applications>Parents keep pushing me to do something>Feel bad whenever they do so, so try to avoid talking to them as much as I can>Realize I've lost a decade of my life because of poor decisions>See no pathway to reintegrate into the world, or achieve any sort of success>Probably going to have to be NEET forever>I hate myself
>>84667392it was fine. mostly boring, i've been reading a webtoon for the last couple of days/weeks and my progress stalled due to browsing slop sites like yt or 4chan too much.i went for a night bike ride and rode to a decent outdoor gym thats like 20 min ride from my house where i got absulutely MOGGED by a 16 year old so i will cease leaving my house for the forseeable future.how about yours? are you NEETing as well or are you a wagie? any prospects on the horizon?
>>84668378at least you have a decent degree, wish i finished one of mine. do you still like the field?do you think you can do some extra courses to update your knowledge and cv?will your parents let you keep neeting?i honestly wish i tried getting some "useless" humanities degree instead of stem over and over.maybe i'd meet some cool friends there, and end up better than i did. if i met some friends i'd have easier time studying and maybe i'd finish one.
Why is everyone chronically ill and dying at the age of 20? You guys just need to get assisted suicide.
>>84668907How did you get mogged? Did he speedrun the monkeybars or something?>>84668922>at least you have a decent degree, wish i finished one of mine.What degree(s) did you attempt, anon?>do you still like the field?I don't particularly like software/coding. I love theoretical CS and mathematics though (but the only relevant jobs/research in that sphere requires grad school).>do you think you can do some extra courses to update your knowledge and cv?I'm thinking of doing a "personal project" or open source contributions, but my motivation is extremely low and I don't know if that'd even help>will your parents let you keep neeting?Probably (thankfully), but they're not happy about it>maybe i'd meet some cool friends there, and end up better than i didI'd attribute a lot of my early failures in getting a career to not making friends/connections. It's one of my biggest life regrets. In your OP you said you can't keep focus so studying is off the table. What would you want to study if you were able to focus?
>>84662823>>84664659tits or gtfoetc etc origanal
>>84659464I'm still in the "honeymoon phase" so to speak of being a NEET, I recognise that. It will get progressively worse the longer it continues. I graduated high school nearly eight months ago and have been taking it easy as a NEET ever since. I'm comfy staying with my Grandma for the week. She keeps asking me which courses I plan to pursue or bIf I will get my drivers license. I reply, nothing motivates me and no.
>>84664328This is the funniest reply I've had to a post in weeks just random leching on your sister. Kek goddamn hope she has a lock on her door. Yes I keep it tight though
>>84668907Night bike ride? That sounds pretty nice. I miss being able to do night rides/walks when I lived in a city. doing that now in suburban/rural is a good way to get run over.I'm NEETing as well. No prospects, but tbf I haven't actually looked since...early 2024?Spent most of my day catching up on anime I've missed over the years, going down the youtube/wikipedia rabbit holes, shitposting here of course, helping some family who have been physically unable to do some things.
>>84659489Bro it's not that that bad. My entire neighborhood didn't finish highschool.
>>84659464I've been a NEET for the last 11 years and I wouldn't have it any other way. I never wanted to do anything with my life to begin with, so this lifestyle has been perfect and it never gets old. Thankfully I got lucky financially speaking, so I've got a roof over my head and I can sustain this for a few decades as-is.
31 now. Been NEET since leaving school. Got diagnosed with autism 5 years ago.
i dropped out during my first semester of college, was a NEET for 3 years, then went back and graduatedi am now making ~200k/yearit's not too late for a lot of you, anons. you can still turn it aroundps yes i am autistic/socially anxious/etc.
>>84662551I left and would sooner claim refugee status than returnyour country sucks, hate to break it to you
>>84670967>can still turn it aroundThese are good words of encouragement if you are young/in your 20s. But the longer you NEET, or the older you are when you NEET, that feels less of a possibility.
What's the cause of you guys' NEETdom? For me it's agoraphobia.
>>84671337I think its twofold. I was probably always depressed and avoidant, but kept things bottled down well enough. And my parents did a poor job of raising me to be self sufficient, I was kept in a constant state of inadequacy.So when my life went to shit, I didn't have the tools or skills to pull myself out, and mentally I just couldn't take it. So I became even more depressed and avoidant.
>>84670967dont listen to this anon, give up and become my bang maid, il take care of you :^)
>>84670967>200k a yearyou are american, im a europoor so even if i try my hardest and get extremely lucky my wages top out at 40k
>>84671337around age 11 i started to feel really inferior to other people socially, i was being bullied and rejected and i couldnt understand why. this fear of being defective just spread into fear of being rejected by everything, schools, jobs. like im not wanted and nobody cares if i live or die. which is true. everytime ive tried ive been rejected and i cant handle the pain
