I never panic but often feel dread. The amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is such that the thawing of permafrost and release of methane clathrate deposits is inevitable. The amount of methane will likely catapult temperatures to 8 degrees celsius above mean which means hundreds of millions will be forced to migrate, there will be extreme drsught making many equatorial areas in the middle east, asia and north america virtually uninhabitable with current population siszes being what they are. Water scarcity will likely spark a major war in the middle east, there may be conflicts and instability over new arctic resources, disease will cause millions of addition deaths, parasites will be catastrophic for crops in an incressing amount of areas and the ocean ecosystem will potentially collapse cutting off the protein source for at least 30% of the world's population and such a collapse will likely cause a drastic loss of species on land.

We are in the middle of the anthropocene extinction event. I unitonically wish an alien species would come by and brutally massacre all the people who propagate this shit.

In the sense that I am already very behind on practical skills and experience, yes. I am very young, but I live alone, pay bills, do my occasional vice, prostitutes, and live, but I feel like I am letting myself get left behind. I skipped college because it cost too much and I didn't want to go through another 4 years of high school. Now here I am working a minimum wage job 40 hours a week full time not even making over $10/hr and bored of life. The main thing I want is a better job, like a job that brings experience and adrenaline rush, like first responders, but even an EMT requires a $5,000 college degree or whatever. I'd even settle for a fucking trade, but I have no idea of how to even go into doing it, and again, it probably costs somewhere from $5,000-$7,500, which I just don't have and I am not going to take loans.

I live in constant angst regarding the economy, climate change etc. I literally spend every free moment researching my fears. I am constantly petrified and it is ruining my life.

I count the number of bird chirps I hear each morning n the way to work. If it is lower than the day before I spend the day worrying that climate change is finally speeding up and killing animal life.

I check my countries currency exchange rates against the rates for 50 other nations each day at least 3 times and if it goes down start to cramp up and worry about food prices

I check the produce in the local supermarket, if it seems to be shrinking I panic about food shortages and crop failure.

Then there are the worries about meteorites, solar storms etc that cause me anxiety even when everything seems OK. I once looked directly at the sun and thought a solar storm erupted because my eyes went blurry

If post is true, I can;t comprehend how can one stand so much bullshit. Why just not end it ? I can understand if you are like 30 and can still turn it around but at fucking 54 ? After 50 just end it man. The moment he was off neetbux, he shoulda ended it.

This is why NEETbux is shitty route if you wanna make it further 40

Not really anymore. I dropped out of high school and been a neet for 2 years, not close to my family, just tolerate me right now, no friends, no skills, forgot any kind of shit I've learned from high school which makes me unable to get into an university. I would have been dead already if I wasn't such a fucking pussy.

I think way too much about my future to the point of which it's impeding on my current life. I do nothing ever except think about the future and prepare (both by studying for school and SHTF type shit).

I guess I'm at other extreme.

I think enabler parents and NEETbux cause this. If that dude's parents threw him out when he was out of highschool, he woulda been forced to wagecuking 18 instead of 40. He woulda learned wagecuking is hard and tried to get into trade or something when he was still able turn it around. His parents made him a big disservice.

This is why I'm kinda torn on unemployment bux. It should be only given to people with actual disability. Not for "anxiety" and :autism".

No. I've given up at 21. Doesn't matter that I had 4.0 and 97th percentile MCAT; I've realized that I will always be autistic and I cannot pursue medicine as an autismo. I would rather die than spend my life working in a field or position that doesn't interest me, so I dropped out of uni and am on NEETbux now.

Hopefully I die of heart disease before 35.

I'm actually looking forward to my future. Soon I'll have a comfy office job and have something somewhat meaningful to actually do. Plus I can finally try out hobbies with the money I'll be making, maybe buy a house, hire a personal trainer to get me into shape. The possibilities are endless when you have plenty of money.

Just a reminder that your perception of time will change as you get older so it will feel like time will get faster and faster. You have already lived the best times of your life, you just don't know it yet.

All the fucking time
At the end of the week I always panic because it feels like it came too fast
It feels like I'm just going through the motions and time is just racing by me
Weeks and months mean nothing anymore and it's fucking scary man

m8 does your local weather take sudden leaps from snow to desert on a day to day basis? The birds are fine. Humans spreading into their habitat is a far greater threat to wildlife than ''''''''climate change''''''''.

Being 20 years old right now: not really. I'm wagecucking away and dropped out of school this semester. In fall I plan on going through EMT school and jump starting my career in the medical field by taking small steps.

If you're young: do not panic yet guys. If you're full blown NEET at 25 with no job experience, school, etc... you are heading for a world of shit.

>>35288029

it's expensive out here in LA bro. Same goes for OC, san diego, and other major metro areas. Pass high school and start off in the inland empire. San Bernardino is a fucking armpit... riverside is your best bet.
>>
I'm 23. I don't have any friends or love interests.
I forget how to flirt or make conversation over text. I forget how to hang out with people.
I have no idea how to meet friends or how to maintain a relationship of anykind
>>
>>35287675
Yes. All the time.

However I strangely don't feel any regret.

Most of this was out of my control. I was taken out of school after about third grade, I taught myself most of what I know, since my bipolar/depressed father and anxiety ridden, overbearing grandmother and apathetic grandfather did nothing to really help teach me.

So I'm fucked essentially. But even so I recognize that the onus is on me to fix my problem, so I don't really blame anyone. However it doesn't help that I have mental breakdowns in stressful situations, and just in general really. I honestly don't think having a job would help fix the nihilistic acceptance of the abyss that has taken root in my thoughts.

I don't want to do anything. I don't have a passion really. I don't have any friends but I don't really want any (for the most part, sometimes I feel like I would like some but this feeling is transitory despite being very intense) and it doesn't bother me that I don't have any. In fact I figure the less people that know about me, the better.

So to me, "improving" my situation is very nebulous. What does that mean? I get a GED, then an entry level job? Then what? I try to find a career that suits my tastes? What if nothing suits my tastes? I just work until I die?

I don't expect there to be a deeper meaning to life. I've come to realize that there isn't one. So I don't consider myself special. I don't think that things will work out okay for me in the end. I dunno, I think I've sort of accepted it.

The pangs of anxiety, and depression I have, I've had ever since I was a prepubescent child. They happen elementally, without my input. My breakdowns are entirely subconscious. I've done a lot of introspection and a lot of honest interrogation of myself even if it means uncovering ugly truths about myself. It's led to nothing.

So I dunno, I'll probably end up homeless or something. If I end up like the guy in OP, I'd actually consider myself well off.
