I fell for the NEET meme big time. Quit my job and decided to

look up jordan peterson on youtube. he can literally save your life.

The hard thing about being a neet is that without structure you have way more time to screw up your mental state. 8 hours a day flipping burgers or scanning junk food is at least 8 hours spent not self loathing and replaying all the bad shit in from your past.

>>37045826
hahahaha
me too

>>37045869
Thanks I'll check him out. Hope I'm not being meme'd
>>37045896
Yeah this is very true. I really should have stayed in my job. I think the type of people who become NEETs are already mentally fucked to begin with so left alone everything just gets worse.

>>37046076
check him out, look up his "motivation" stuff. maybe you'll like this one

Hes right, but past a certain point you stop believing in yourself and its hard to undo that programming because its based on the knowledge of your failures far exceeding your successes.

>>37046331
dont do that. youre fighting it. youre commiting self destructive behaviour and you know it.

im also a neet with nothing in his life. you have to do it one step at a time. get rid of that programming, you know its bad for you.

I'm NEET and I pull in $1000 a week doing nothing from home. But it took me a year of wallowing in my own pit of despair to figure out how to do so. If you can figure out a way in making money doing nothing its not so bad.

>>37046433
What exactly do you do? I had big plans to learn programming but I've come to realise from this whole experience that I'm just a massive idiot. Nothing I learn sticks. I'd honestly be fine doing a pleb job for the rest of my life but the social parts absolutely destroy me. Wish I wasn't autistic.

I probably just need to try harder though.

>>37046539

I cant exactly give you details in what I do,but i can try to assess your situation and come up with a sound remedy in helping you out.

What was your prior job beforehand?
School experience?
Age?

>>37046687
I'm 22 and i just worked night shifts as a shelf stocker in a shitty supermarket. I never went to university and only got slightly above average grades in school but did well enough that I could go to university if I want to.

I had like a 4 month gap between my last job and current job, it as a living hell. I drank most of my savings away. I'd sleep in every day, feel like shit, submit my resume to jobs online, just felt hopeless. I dislike my new job but at least I have something to do.

Had time to reflect after high school during the summer. Worst time of my life. Get a job.

>Be NEET
>love it and dont want to get a job
>dad forces me to get a job
>worked at a Casino so it was really nice and there was good food
>only had to work 5 hours a day, 6 on weekends
>still got paid for 8 hours
>life is good even though my dad is charging me $1000 a month
>eventually get kicked out of dads house
>move in with mommy
>NEET life
>wow its fucking shit and I feel like a burden this time
>Get a job welding
>The onlyweld shop that would hire me pays fucking garbage for welders (most in my area start at $16 an hour, this one is $10.25)
>hate it more than anything and want to go back to NEET life

>>37046831

Regardless of what you do, you're main focus should be working on your social skills.This is the only thing holding you back. The reason why you're having difficulty in learning anything right now is due to the stress and cortisol build up eating away at your neuron connections leading to frontal cortex shrinkage because of it.

And if you're a legit aspie or not, (if you are, collect SSI and go back to school and study something easy like medicine), take ACTING classes. Acting classes are a form of Neuro cognitive/ neurolinguistic/ sociolinguistic therapy and this will help you overcome any, ANY obstacle you have when it comes to socializing. Enrolling in some acting classes should be your key focus right now and you should do this before considering anything else.

And if you dont want to go to Uni, you can always spend the next 3-4 months studying for the Asvab and enrolling in the military. If you score a 95 you can be enlisted as an E4 Nuclear Engineer making $200k a year with a nuke degree and certification, a million in the bank, health benefits and all the prospects in the world.

Hope that somewhat helps

he's great
Lorca is one of my favorite albums ever
but jeff gives me way more feelereens

>>37047079

Not him but how can I work on my social skills (i have zero) when I don't have any friends? All I do is work, then go to the gym, then come home. I don't like bars, I don't like doing new things, I don't like "putting myself out there".

the worst part is that your stuck
you cant just go back out there after years being alone in your room
you cant relate to anyone
every time you try to make something out of yourself you get hurt
its almost funny how people react when you tell them that youve done nothing for years
especially employers

>>37047332

low end jobs don't give a fuck about that though. I've worked like 4 different jobs while having bad social skills. I didn't even get my first job until 24, nobody gave a fuck or even asked. I still don't fit in though.

>>37047079
Appreciate the advice mate. I don't completely understand what frontal cortex shrinkage is but ever since leaving my job I've had constant headaches and have felt kind of a mind fog and a constant feeling of dread, and the pain is felt in the front part if my head.

I'll be honest I haven't been diagnosed with aspergers but it just seems like I have it. Even when I've improved my social skills in the past there's always been kind if a barrier between me and other people and it feels like I'm faking a persona instead of just being at ease with who I am. When I do act like myself I'm like a monotone zombie. Regardless though, acting classes do sound like a good idea. I'll have a look into them but not sure I can afford them right now.

Hhmm I'm in the UK so don't think the military thing would be possible but who knows there might be something similar here. Thanks again

>>37047103
Which books would you recommend? I know I should be reading but I never see value in half the things I try to read.

>>37047318

Baby steps. Start off in the core of your problem which is the frontal lobe, which is the area in the brain that controls your socializing skills.

Start with these exercises found here: Do them everyday for a few weeks.

https://sharpbrains.com/blog/2007/02/09/brain-workout-for-your-frontal-lobes/

http://livewell.jillianmichaels.com/frontal-lobe-exercises-4488.html

Get supplements like B12 and zinc and incoporating them into your diet. Then revolve your diet around foods that target Seretonin, Dopamine and Oxytocin which are all the chemicals in your brain that control mood and positivity. (If you smoke, quit because the chemicals in a cigerette rot the brain)

Make more of an effort small talking with old people. They're brain functions are degenerated so you dont have to feel like they're judging you too much when you talk to them. Small talk like the weather is nice, or pointing out something about them is good conversation starters that can lead into whatever.

Then from there take acting classes filled with people around your age that are either 1)Socially inept and looking to improve
2)Delusional into thinking they'll be an A list famous actor one day

With that in mind, you'll realize that the people around you are no better then you are, and given the classes, and with some applied diligence and sharpening your frontal cortexes through excersize and dieting, you'll be a sharp, quit witted mofo that exudes confidence everywhere he goes.

After sometime you'll get to the point where you get anxious if you dont talk or interact with someone.

Good luck

>>37047538

Not a problem. That barrier you speak of is your lack of certainty that you placate and augment onto other people.

For me what helped me overcome it was realizing that everyone wings everything they do and everyone experiences anxiety and anxiousness throughout the day. You are no different to anyone else in that regard, regardless of socioeconomic factors and looks.

Another thing that helped me overcome it was picking up on peoples breathing patterns which helps me determine how a person is feeling at that given moment. Most people dont realize how telling the way a person breathing is to determine what they're thinking or feeling. Its the ultimate giveaway and its not that easy to cover up or hide as a smile or with words.

A persons face and what they say is one thing, but the way they're breathing is the only way if you can determine if what they're saying is true, or how they truly feel.

If a persons breathing is not natural and theyre hiding their breathing patterns theyre having insecurities or omitting sexual attraction, and the list goes on etc. Look into it.

>>37046251
I hate all kinds of talks like this. Everyone can't be what they want to be. This shit is just to keep you deluded and optimistic while you pretend like your reaching your goals until one day you die. Also some people don't see the reason in being anything and having any goals because ultimately everything in their life is disappointing and doesn't warrant any effort.

>>37047079
> 95 you can be enlisted as an E4 Nuclear Engineer making $200k a year with a nuke degree and certification
Nigga oh no. Nuke school is legit one of the hardest academic programs in the country. Seriously it's like cramming a master's degree minus all the papers in two And a half years. And I've yet to meet a happy Nuke or just one that wasn't autistic.

Tl; dr
> just get out there do luminocity brain games and do acting classes meme

The truth is no amount of cope can replace an ugly face and inferior genetics.

>>37048416
Kek, never did i say that it was easy

>>37048424
I know an impoverished schizophrenic guy thats 26, 5 foot 3 and all his front teeth are chipped who also gets laid frequently with 7's and 8s because he just doesnt give a shit.

Assertiveness, a sense of humor and confidence is a lot more attractive then a dry and humorless 6'4 chad making 6 figures that drives around in a Maserati

>>37048424
Being attractive doesn't always help. I'm considered attractive, I always get women hitting on me but the moment they speak to me they realise something is off and lose interest. One actually said I don't have a soul. Although I guess being ugly and like this is even worse.

Where does an 18 y/o autistic NEET with zero social connections even start? I'm thinking about going to a trade school but I can barely talk to cashiers or waiters with programmed phrases.

>>37045826
I've been NEET for over 10 years.

Once my mom goes, I'll probably kill myself. I can only hope that my dad and grandparents are gone too so I won't leave anyone behind to grieve me.

>>37048808
Try getting a little part time job somewhere while you're figuring out what you want to do, you'll be forced to interact with people and you'll slowly improve. Trade school sounds like a good idea, just doing anything will be better than nothing.

Being a NEET is a trap that many fall in and never get out of. It's like a Ponzi scheme in that there's no way to "win", the ultimate outcome is for it to come crashing down on itself. And it will. All you can do is delay the inevitable.

I've been stuck in it for over 13 years. It's not something I ever planned on being, it just happened because years of bullying in school made my social skills and self-esteem non-existent.

>>37046977
Easier said than done. Been looking for three years since finishing high-school and despite applying for roughly 6 jobs a week I can't get shit.

>>37045896
>he isn't able to multi-task and self-loathe while he flips burgers
are you even trying?

>>37049566
I can relate to this. Although after severe high-school bullying and lashing out in such a way that even the teachers became terrified of me taught people to just generally stay away from me.

>>37045826
You have to be strong to be a productive NEET. It took me like a year before I finally started teaching myself things.

>>37047027
Stick around with that job for a couple years, for the experience, and apply to decent welding jobs

i can relate

I've been a full NEET for around 8 months now. And an off and on NEET for about 4 years. I am enjoying these 8 months. I live in a nice home with a pool and pay zero expenses. I have 48k in savings and get paid 800 dollars a month in autism bucks. Which I save most of, I only buy the occasional game, also Pc upgrades. I'm building a new Pc this summer also getting a new key board, mouse, and 4k monitor. I'm very happy living the NEET life. I never had a job and I never plan on it. It is a stress free life that makes me happy. I also could never go to school because I'm a brainlet, sadly. I'm still a KHV but I plan on buying a Hooker soon once I go visit a family friend in Germany. I really wish prostitution was legal in the U.S in Germany you can get a hot eastern European girl for around 100 dollars.

>>37050188
aren't you required to be below a certain amount of savings to receive neetbux? that's the impression i got when i applied (finally got notified that my claim was denied a few days ago. felt pretty sad, but what can you do?)

>>37050188
How did you get a nice house and 48k in savings

>>37049584
I feel you. Been applying to anything for the past 3 years but no luck. People involved with nepotism should be shot on sight.
