Most are NEET's 😹

i hate being like

after the pandemic i didn’t feel anything at all about it like other people do ’cause even before that, it’s like i’ve been in quarantine my whole life. i think it’s the social construct that keeps me thinking it’s such a shameful way of life. when i was younger i would always hate my my parents for always keeping me inside (i’m considered the black sheep of the family just because i know how to speak up and break LITTLE rules). but the more time that passes, i kinda just don’t care about going out anymore.

whatever’s out there knows how many friends i’ve lost for being distant. i didn’t even cry about it. they were beautiful. i just accepted it. like it’s some part of growing up. in some circumstances in life it is important to both give and to take, so maybe i am the problem for not always being present for other people. but to be honest really, what am i taking? am i getting anything from this? why do i have to give. most of the time i joke to myself that i am miserable.. but really maybe it's just because people think miserable are people who are isolating? i mean i am free. i don't have to socialize or anything. and i think i am happy to have outgrown the fact that i need to talk

when you’re an avoidant young adult they kill you

Because I have nothing to get up for I just sleep however long I want and the time is i get up and go to sleep is constantly moving forward because of it.

My weeks are just passing by me doing completely nothing (and I mean it. It is just laying in bed scrolling my phone, waiting to be asleep or masturbating). No one wants to hire me. Every family member is much ahead of me in live. Probably destroyed my liver due to bad diet. Loner since high school for no particular reason, skipping school to do completely nothing except laying in bed. Now I Just avoid social interactions and wait for sleep. I have a feeling I could watch the same stupid show multiple times and still not remember anything. Also I have problems with logical thinking, even if I wanted to I could not write a longer post than this.

Never lived teenager years, smoking weed, being in a weird friends group. Family members started ignoring me a while ago and I am not surprised by that to be honest.

Destroyed my brain and my body.

I am not interested in anything. Always refused to get any help for example from my mother that always wanted me to go to school.

Cant say anything about myself except this shit. On therapy I dont even know what to say. We will Just sit in silence for 60 minutes I guess.

In college people are actually adults, Talking care of their body and mind, having friends and things to talk about. I am worse than gaming loosers.

Being hiki and neet has made me completely isolated. 90% of my life is just looking at a screen or the dark walls of my room. I’m don’t mind it all that much but I does get a bit tiring and almost maddening. I saw this video of a Japanese guy that was in a relationship with his life sized dolls and it gave me hope. I’m not rich enough to order my own custom doll but I can make my own out of clay. I want to model him after my favorite vidya character. I might even take them on dates to the sea.

I used to work for a Big4 consulting firm for 3 years. I worked fully remote from my parent’s house and never went outside. Now I do the same thing but as a NEET. I got laid off from the firm late last year. AMA.

2026 was a disaster but I feel good about 2027.
