19 y/o here
I've seen a shitton of depressing NEET stories here. I dont want to end up like that. Things are going okay for me now, what should I do to avoid being a NEET in the future? What went wrong for you? How should I stop it from ever happening to me?
>>
Go to class
Start your homework 2 or 3 days before it's due
Accept that people and life are always going to be annoying and shitty at times
Don't do drugs
Dont drink alcohol during the week or on work days
>>
Stay in school and get a degree. Treat it like job training. Get an entry level retail job while you're in school. It'll give you pocket money, references, and experience in where you'll be if you drop out. Let retail hell motivate you to study seriously and get into a better work environment later. You should be able to graduate in your mid 20s and transition into professional work before you're 30.

Depending on whether you want to stay single and save for retirement or search for a partner to get married and start a family you should have a comfortable income with plenty left over.

19 too but I'm avoiding it

>stay in college
>actually talk to people
>make friends, either through classes, clubs sports or otherwise
>make said friends like you enough to keep you
>stay in shape
>groom yourself well
>less jerking off to porn - once a week tops
>vitamin D

With regards to >>34844261 , drinking alcohol on weekdays is acceptable, and probably important, if you want to maintain the friendships
>>
>>34844240
Move out of town for uni or whatever if you dont want to deliver pizzas in your 40's. Pretend you had friends in your old town to coworkers and what not
>>
Here's what you can do. Actually try in college. Don't pick a useless major, if it's easy you're in the wrong major. Stay off the computer, it's a huge waste of time. You need to be somewhere you're not distracted all the time so you can think clearly about what your goals are and what you need to get done. Limit 4chan and mindless browsing to like 1 hour spread out over the day if that, meaning that if you do open it's like 2-3 mins at a time and then close it. Get A's in class, try your hardest to earn internships and get a good job. It's competitive, the reason so many people are NEET here is because they're already behind in life and don't work harder to compensate they just fall further behind. Don't be like them, if you're not exhausted by the en of the day you're wrong.

>>34844307

also don't respond to me or ask me questions cause I'm not gonna be here to read. Good luck OP

>>34844281
All good advice. Always maintain a part-time job while you're going to school. It will give you money and more importantly, social interaction. You'll always find qts at retail or restaurant jobs.
>>
>>34844335
It's good practice for talking to randoms, or making smalltalk although in my opinion the social element is a pain in the ass.

Getting an allowance for doing chores is many kids first introduction to money, a part time job is an introduction to the adult version. Real work, a real income, enough to actually teach you a bit about real world budgeting and saving. The home economics they don't teach you about in school.
>>
>>34844432
>the social element is a pain in the ass.

True but it's good practice for a lot of people on this board since they tend to isolate themselves. Having a retail or restaurant job forces them to come out of their shells a bit. Plus who knows, you could get good friends or even a gf out of it.
>>
>>34844288
fuck off normie
can I have some advice from non-disgusting people?
>>
Get a job, if you're in a college you may as well finish it.

Talk to people, don't worry if they think you're weird, you'll find out they're even weird and some of them have some fucked up shit going with them

condoms, always

>but it feels better

you know what feels great, not having child support

Never buy drugs, bum off other people if you do it. Don't do cigs, get your exercise in, buy a dumbbell from walmart to whatever you can lift

LIFT THAT SHIT

go to the park and run

don't eat fast food and avoid soda. Don't play MMOs, play fighters
>>
Always work
Don't lie
Stay away from drugs/alcohol
Be assertive but not rude
Your gut instinct is usually right

But the biggest NEET hurtle -
Be social. Be a team player. Don't isolate yourself. Get the fuck of 4chan it's a childish waste of time
>>
>>34844475
>forces them to come out of their shells a bit.
do you really think theres a social butterfly hidden in every person? fuxking retard. I'm not hiding my true self from you you self centered twat I'm just quiet
>>
>>34844537
I'm not saying you'll magically transform into an outgoing mega Chad but it certainly doesn't hurt to develop some social skills that you're probably lacking in.
>>
Mental illness and alcoholism happened.

Don't drink. Just don't do it. Especially if you have a family history of alcoholism.

You can't avoid mental illness though. If you have it, you have it.
>>
>>34844523
So much this. The number one thing I'd do if I could go back and talk to my teenage self is to stay off the fucking internet.
>>
>>34844552
theyre not going to get better from talking to a bunch of idiots.

>>34844240

I'd say what you should do is think long and hard about how you're going to sell your labor. You might have heard people telling you to follow your dreams and do what you love, and that's all well and good but at the end of the day you need a way to pay the bills; make sure you know what that is and are planning for it. And if you don't feel any particular ambition towards any kind of work, that's great; then you can just choose a profession based on your own talents, good hours, good pay, benefits and security.

What I'd also tell you is that what psychology and neurology have conspired to tell us is that life is lived most contentedly when you make it about forming and building relationships with other people. Making memories with others is more important than vidya, building relationships is more important than partying, and building professional relationships is extremely important. You are a social animal, no matter how antisocial you feel, and building real relationships is difficult, meandering and time-consuming. Perhaps the biggest lie that's been put into your head slowly and subtly over the years is the idea that relationships form up in aesthetically pleasing, quick ways; that only happens in movies. Real relationships tend to be slow, meandering, anti-climactic and dumb. Of course there's still a difference between ones that are working and ones that aren't, but even if it seems trite to say so, don't expect it to be like the movies.

Building real relationships is also going to be more difficult than it should be for you because of the era you were born in. The fact that you're asking this here may already be a bad sign. I don't think you qualify as a millennial, but you're definitely still going to be living with these problems, if not worse versions of these problems;

Are you OP?
Because you want advice from people who can function in society. Otherwise you're just looking for someone to tell you to "give up and bee comfy", in which case delete your thread silly

Don't do drugs (alcohol included) ALONE. It's retarded and will open the door to addictions. In a social situation it's okay and necessary. Try some weed with friends if they're not le 420 retards. You'll know if they're worth your time or not. Coke, heroin I wouldn't but I'm not your dad. If you feel you're a weak ass and prone to addictions then try them moderately. Talk to people. A lot. Be remarkable and quirky in a good way. Be funny, people loves to laugh. Be outgoing. Even if you don't like it, that's the way you make acquaintances. These acquaintances will help you not falling in the pit of despair. A particularly rough week? Talk to one of your acquaintances and lighten the mood. Some time without going out? Ask a group of friends if they mind going to the movies or some retarded shit. Spend in your friends like they're a basic need, because they are. If you're broke don't cut that expense, just limit it. Try some good retail (i.e. not fastfood) and don't be afraid of changing jobs there if the ambient's not good. A good retail with good people is one of the best things you can get growing up: nice people and some small responsabilities will teach you what to expect from jobs in the best way possible.

Also please don't drop from college, people dropping from college are lazy faggots that can't stand a boot on their heads. Psst, that's how your adult life WILL work, so you better get used to it. Life's a shit but there are safe ways you can make it less shit instead of gambling your future into your skills to provide for yourself on your own (which, trust me, are way worse than what you want to think).


tl;dr: get A LOT of friends, don't be afraid of drugs like the average robot but don't abuse them, work some retail while studying, don't drop college, play it safe

>>34844663
He's not op. Neither is this guy.>>34844490
Thanks for the advice guys, ill put it to use.
>>
Any more wise words, other than whats been said already?
>>
>>34844953
Take full advantage of the opportunities afforded to you at college. Don't just go to class and go home. The amount of social and networking opportunities in college will not be available to you once you get out into real life.
>>
>>34844240
As a 18 y/o I feels the same way, although i'm more worried about being firendless than being a NEET. Academics have never been too big of a problem for me.
