I'm at 7 and I thought that was extremely bad

You guys notice any cognitive decline? Difficulty with focus? Worsening memory?

>>38374963
I'm 13 year faggot. I have noticed that it takes me a while to warm up to heavy thinking, kind of like how it used to feel when you'd go back to school after summer break. More than thinking/focusing problems, I have noticed that I have a really hard time speaking properly. I will always say the wrong word or draw a blank and kind of stumble my way through 3 other words that are wrong before I can say the right one. It's pretty horrible. Have you noticed any major differences with your memory? Or just trouble focusing?

lol a mere 3 years of isolation
I'm at a 12 years

>>38374963
I have noticed cognitive decline when trying to speak/write I used to be quite eloquent/contrived or at least that's what people would tell me. Now I struggle to find words that are linked to the specific situation I am in and used fillers.

Focus and memory is more or less the same no noticeable change.

How do you guys afford to live? Like, don't you like need a job to pay rent and what not? How do you do it and how can I?

t. anxiety filled 18 year old neet

>>38375043
I don't remember anything anymore. I'm constantly forgetting what I'm meant to be doing next or what I just did. I can never remember what happened in the films I saw, even within the past few weeks. I'm constantly mixing up names and words with ones that sound similar or are related somehow. I'm always struggling to remember the words or names I need as well.

It's embarrassing and as someone who used to have a pretty good, above average memory it's depressing and disheartening to think I might be a dumbass for the rest of my life now. I didn't have a lot to pride myself on before I fell into this mess (hence why I got into this situation in the first place) and my intelligence and linguistic ability was one of the few things that boosted my self-esteem and that I was better than than other people. I'm not sure what I can offer people now that I can't talk or remember as well as I used to.

I've noticed though that when I'm drunk I'm better able to communicate and think of the words I need (though I still make mistakes) so I can't help but wonder how much of it is due to anxiety or self-consciousness about screwing up and embarrassing myself.

I used to have a lot of anxiety and rumination on past social fuck-ups which were mortifying to me (one of the reasons I became a shut-in in the first place) and I can't help but wonder if the degradation of my memory I've experienced was my mind's way of sort of protecting me from the worry and anxiety by making these things harder to remember.

>>38375259
I can't help but wonder how much of the difficulty communicating is just from being out of practice. Weakening neural pathways or whatever. Gives me hope that if I ever manage to get myself out of this situation and reintegrate into society that maybe I'll become better at communicating again.

I did pretty well with this post but I'm usually pretty fucking dumb and bad at communicating, especially out loud and in public talking to people I don't know.

I get a sickness benefit for social phobia. If you're only 18 focus on fixing the problem instead of avoiding it because things only get worse and worse and it becomes much harder to recover from (especially without lasting effects).

Prolonged isolation fucks with your mind and leads to comorbid physical health problems from being sedentary and in my case turning to food as a means to deal with stress, anxiety and fear.

>>38375399
I live with my mommy, and no she doesn't make me pay rent, she blames herself at this point for sheltering me my whole life.

>>38375399
I get disability for mental health issues. It's not enough to live alone, but I can pay half of the rent and utilities. I do not have enough for anything else. For example, I haven't bought any new clothes in 7 years and I always have to wear hand me downs. It sucks. I don't recommend it.

Graduated uni w/ no friends talking only when going to mandatory group meetings and even then very little

Currently a part time overnight shelf stocker, say maybe 10 words whenever I go to work and I work 2 days a week

You can make a living working and making no social connection

>live with my dad (he's always at work)
Doesn't he live get sick seeing his son stay home all day and do nothing? Like I used to be a neet when I was 17 and couldn't bear to look at my parents in the face while I left my cave to go downstairs and get something to eat. Shit was too depressing, yo.

But that's all gone now. I'm currently working as a real estate agent, and things are going well... So far.

Are you a Britbong or did you just drop out of school early?

I didn't even care when I left school and just wanted to sit around and play video games. I had little understanding of further education and its importance and whilst I was happy for the first year and a half I've started becoming very miserable and can't get over the time I've wasted.

>>38375511
I guess it does bother him, I tell him it's my chronic fatigue (the feeling that I'm always about to pass out when I stand up), depression and a chronic headache (most likely anxiety induced) that prevents me from pursuing my dreams. He understands but I am trying to get better although nothing seems to be working.

I've been exercising regularly, meditating and taking long walks for a start, any other suggestions to get my head in the right place?

>>38375647
I tested out at 16 and immediately started community college (only to fail classes bc I didn't wanna do that either).

Now I didn't do that because I liked video games, I did that because I didn't have the energy to do any light physical activity like just walking from one side of the room to another, even fainted several times. My solution is just to stay in one place with a laptop.

>>38375399
Having a job doesn't mean social interaction is guaranteed.

my biggest enablers in my family are dead and dying

my mom disowned me when i turned 18, threw me out on the streets. i had a job then but she was demanding my entire paycheck just to live with her

so, i moved in with my dad/grandparents, never spoke to mother again

grandpa died last july, and this year grandma will probably be gone too. once she's gone, i'll be at my fathers mercy and he's a complete prick. so it's possible that soon i'll be NEETing it up on a park bench somewhere.


oh well, the vagabond life always appealed to me

>>38375872
You can just do sub-contracted carpentry, and you only have to deal with home-owners that will say like 2 words if you don't engage them.

>>38375954
Still, requires me to be in the presence of others and even going so far as to enter their homes. My anxiety comes from more than just being afraid to talk, but even stares give me the creeps.

Your anxiety is just because you're inexperienced.

I almost cried the first time I went into another person's house when I was 18.

Now that I'm 20, I don't see people as anything more than machines.

I'm 18 and I have been neeting for years, I'm hoping I can find something to do before I slip back to neetdom.

Think college is impossible for me though.

I've been essentially isolated for my entire life. No one wants to hire me anyways and my current job is nothing more than menial labor.

I hate this world.

>Now that I'm 20, I don't see people as anything more than machines.
I'm 18 and work as a real estate agent and always feel so awkward showing new people property. How long will it take until I I achieve these powers?

>>38376109
even r9k is ignoring my posts, thats how socially awkward i am

>>38376123
A year, but, because you're interacting so frequently, I'd say 4 months.

>>38376123
How/why'd you become a real estate agent at 18? Especially if you hate talking to people?

I hate this life. i tried to get out and have a normal life. it worked for like 4 months . and then i just walked into my room and decided i wasn't coming out. 7 months later. im still a neet again. FML. i think the solution is just to kill my self.

>>38376547
Don't kill yourself anon,try to see the good things in life

>>38375399

Went to college, graduated at 22. Got about $150k inheritance, been living in squalor for about 10 years. Haven't socialized since college. Almost out of money. Not sure what'll happen when I run out. Don't know how to explain 10 years of NEET. Don't know how to talk to people anymore. Extreme social anxiety.

Honestly don't remember the last time I left the apartment other than to check mail. Maybe 10 months?

>>38376576
I litrelly threw away my life. I was doing good at school and was a promising athlete. Now i'm destined for a shitty low paying job for next 50 years of life. I really hate this shit.

>>38374892
you can still make it out lad. Listen to some Jordan Peterson and sort yourself out. Now.
