I'll start off with sharing my stack:

- strong black tea and coffee
- immersive games, can be RPGs, can be simulators
- oversized hoodies
- elaborate sandwiches
- browsing reddit, lurking in the NEET sub. Sometimes I go on 4chan as well in small doses, mainly /v/ and /vg/
- listening to / watching youtube deep dives, long form content, podcasts
- small walks, stretching or doing some pushups or bench presses if I feel like it
- chatting with online friends on discord
- listening to dnb mixes

Yo, I'm Jet. I'm an autistic hermit neet living in the Netherlands. I'm very into gaming, especially niche games. I love digging through steam, yt, reddit trying to find hidden gems. I love immersing myself in whatever weird worlds they consist of. It makes me feel peaceful. I consider myself a peaceful neet. I just exist, play my games, try to learn more about myself and find ways to relax and be content. I like to connect with people online, it's a nice low stress way of interacting. I'd love to chat about nerdy things with someone. I don't care for talks about work, school, real life normie stuff. It doesn't interest me. I don't wanna think about it beyond what's necessary.

I went to an occupational therapy place yesterday and it was humiliating. I had to bike through the busy city and it was 30 degrees so by the time I got there I was completely fried and sweating. Some dude was explaining to me how to put together a wooden basket and I was just standing there, completely gone mentally. After a bit I told him I can't do it, I cannot think straight. Then he asked chatgpt to create some picture for me to draw over on a piece of wood and to color it in. The whole time I was there I was on the verge of crying, like I felt like I had to cry and my face was like numb and the lights were overwhelming me. I went home after like 2 hours. I felt completely humiliated. I am 26 by the way. 26 year old man can't even go somewhere and do the simplest possible thing you can imagine. It's shameful. 4 years ago I was studying for biomedical analyst and I had the highest grades in my class, now I'm a basket case. Autism + burnout is brutal.

I don't even know what's wrong with me or how to fix it. I have been like this for years now. I'm sad constantly and the only place where I feel at ease is when I'm alone and engaged in technology, games and escapism. This sadness, feeling like I have to cry it's been there for years now. The sensory/cognitive decline has been going on for a while as well. The worst thing is not knowing what to do about it. I have done so much therapy, tried a bunch of different meds, tried resting, tried pushing myself. Nothing works. I think maybe it's best for my own sanity to just accept that I'm not cut out to participate in society in the way that normal people do.

Hey! I’m a 26-year-old guy from the Netherlands looking for a few people to build an actual friendship with. Nothing forced or intensely demanding, just genuine conversation, mutual curiosity, dumb humour, and gradually becoming part of each other’s lives.

A little about me:

I’m a huge technology goblin. I love building and tweaking PCs, experimenting with Linux, following AI developments, and solving technical problems that I probably created myself.

Gaming is one of my main hobbies. I’m especially drawn to immersive worlds, RPGs, strategy games, vehicle sims, and anything with satisfying progression or customization. Recently I’ve been playing things like Palworld, SnowRunner, MechWarrior, Skyrim and Granblue Fantasy: Relink.

I enjoy manga, anime, science fiction, fantasy and older weird fiction. Some favourites include Berserk, Planetes, Dostoevsky, Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard.

I also like nature, animals, fishing, LEGO, art, long walks and sitting outside with coffee when the Dutch weather decides not to wage psychological warfare.

I’m quite reflective and enjoy conversations about life, spirituality, psychology, technology and the strange direction humanity seems to be stumbling toward.

I’m autistic and currently recovering from burnout, so my energy can fluctuate. Sometimes I’m very talkative and enthusiastic; other times I need a quieter day or may reply more slowly. I don’t expect constant availability from anyone either. A friendship where both people can disappear into their respective caves occasionally without assuming the worst sounds pretty healthy to me.

Personality-wise, I’m gentle, curious, idealistic and pretty open-minded. I value honesty, kindness and people who are willing to be themselves rather than constantly performing. I can talk seriously about the meaning of life and then spend twenty minutes explaining why I’m emotionally attached to a computer processor.

I’d love to meet someone around my age who enjoys exchanging everyday thoughts, sharing memes and interests, occasionally gaming or watching something together, and slowly building some trust. Local friends would be lovely, but online friendships from anywhere are welcome too.

If any of this resonates, send me a message and tell me a little about yourself. You can also just tell me what you’ve been obsessed with lately. That’s usually a good place to start. :)

Hey, I installed arch on my PC and I've been getting micro stutters when moving the mouse. It doesn't happen all the time, like once every 30-40 seconds or something like that. I have a razer naga v2 hyper speed and an x2h mini. They both use 2.4ghz receivers. I tried lowering the polling rate, installing openrazer and switched from niri to kde plasma but it's still there. Any suggestions for other things to try?

I moved to the city some months ago. Assisted living for people with autism. I have my own apartment but this floor is rented by an organization that helps autistic people. I have made progress as in I am living mostly independently now and I socialize a bit more than I used to, mostly with my neighbors. But what I'm also noticing is that I still stay in my apartment for most of the day everyday. I don't really go outside unless I really have to. I spend most of my time watching Youtube and gaming. I suspect that I am very deeply burnt out, autistic burnout. I am trying to cope with the situation as best I can, but it's so hard to actually rest. The negative emotions just come out as soon as I stop distracting myself and then I spiral. I am 26 now. I have spent the past decade mostly in my room on my computer immersed in games, fantasy, online contacts, alcohol and weed. I have made attempts to be a normal person. I tried school so many times. I worked different jobs. But everything failed eventually. A cycle of buildup, momentum, then followed by a crash and deep isolation and shame. That's the story of my life. I feel very ashamed of myself. Everyone around me has things going on. My neighbors are working jobs, going out and doing stuff. And I'm just here. Existing. Ageing. Vegetating. Maybe I am deep in a burnout. I cannot think straight. I cannot endure social stimuli, lights, sounds for longer than like half an hour before I feel like I will pass out. But how do I come back from that? It's scary. I was smart in the past. I did well in school. Now my cognition is fked. I just want to hangout with friends, socialize, flirt a little. I want to live, damnit. My deepest fear is that I will never be able to come back from this. That this is just who I am. An outcast, weirdo. A could-have-been. But I know that this is a negative thought pattern and could lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy. It's just hard to not believe these thoughts and to fight back against them. I have made small steps in the right direction. I have been making small steps for years now. I managed to move out, I am pretty sociable when I can muster the energy. I am slowly accepting my disability and learning to work with my mind and mental/emotional challenges. Sometimes the world just seems so daunting. People are terrifying. The amount of possibilities is terrifying. What do I even want to do? Where do I even begin? How do I recover? Idk, tonight I am just vulnerable and emotionally raw.

What do you guys do to comfort yourself and to relax when you feel like this? I feel like this feeling of paralyzing fear is pretty universal among us.
