Anyone a NEET here?

NEET = Not in Employment, Education, and Training

Anyone here a NEET? What's your experiences about it?

Planning to be a NEET soon because I choose to opt out of being a functioning member of society. No job or company is going to use my life as their leverage to keep me around and be disposed when no longer useful. I have one more year to NEET off and burn my savings to spend on the things that make me happy. and exit out before going homeless.

thats okay, theres no pressure to talk to anyone, the thread is always there whenever you feel like it :) it's pretty inactive anyways lol. also im glad to know you feel comfortable talking to me it feels like an honour in a way

niigo has a lot of stories so it makes sense that it would take a while, even getting through the first 3 is progress! the mizu1 mizu5 enumeration is in order of her focus events. like mizu1 is secret distance which idsmile comes from, mizu2 is your footprints my destination/what lies behind what lies ahead, ect. mizu(number) is just a way people in the fandom shorten the events, i think it started from mizu5 or so.

mizu5 isnt the only event you can understand her better from :) all of her events give a bit of insight into her, mizu5 is only the angst peak of her stories

(your writing is fine to me. theres a few mistakes sometimes but its not very frequent and even with them your writing is still readable)

(i know the op says that "theres no worries" and "you can send a private convo in SaSu though" but i actually don't know how do that, so sorry for the bunch of off topics stuffs)

i actually passed this day practically just rooting on the bed and being too depressed to doing anything but at some moment i just grab my phone and for some reason i went to tiktok (it's been months that i don't open this app cus this shit just make me feel very very bad).

I get shocked cus some pjsk content just started to appear (the last time i went to this app i wasn't into pjsk stuff and the fandom), so i just keeps to watch and like theses videos. I was genuinely enjoying all of them, but out of nowhere, i started feeling sick.
idk why but maybe it was because for some reason i always feel i little bit envious when i see someone making contents about stuffs i am hyperfixated, like, I'd like to do those things too (but i never manage to do cus i sucks at trying to do anything). i always fell very very sick when i see the comments of those contents and i simply just don't know why. see a bunch of people talking about the videos and laughing with yours friends it's enough to make me feel like throwing up (maybe it's just envy again). and theses stuffs mixed with the fact that always when im depressed asf im feel that i has no right to actually enjoy contents or entertainment on general. (sorry for this embarrassing and pathetic vent, you seems like a very good person so i think i felt comfortable typing this).
backing to the "main" topic!! well i think i maybe understand theses enumerated events? but i remember that i actually reeds one story focused on mizuki! was one about the school event/festival idk. And this was so good to see :D like i don't remember very well but i related to mizuki on this on cus them do not wanted to attend this i never liked theses school events, i literally never showed up, like, not even if it was "mandatory".
weel but at least An called them and after this mizuki mades friends with the boys and on the middle mizuki went to the terrace (sorry i didn't read the story on english and i forgot how this is exactly called) to looking for tsukasa and ended up finding Rui there. Both of the two weren't in a very good mood on the moment but after that everyone showed up on the terrace and they all managed to enjoy the event a little bit together! (lol idk why i summarize the story but i think it was just to pass the time.)

I actually admire so much that mizuki can wear the clothes that they like and do not feel ashamed. I never looked for the translation of idsmile but it was something about identity, right? I really would like to talk more about all niigo members and i love them but unfortunately i really not very on the mood to read and consume those kind of contents. maybe i should try one day. actually it's been 3 days since I don't have open pjsk (and i was very addicted to it) but what's about you? What's the highest song's level you managed to fc? Mine was just 2 slowly songs on master that are level 27

omg i think i wrote a whole bible here then sorry for the big text and thanks for reading this far.

Yes, it's Kanade.

To not derail the thread too much, I'm not exactly a NEET, but sometimes I feel I'd be better off as one. I have illnesses which could qualify me for disability and I wouldn't need to work, but there's a strange persistence in my head that I have to keep going, even though it's not as if society cares. Opting out of being another cog in the machine sounds nice, but I can't, there's too many obligations I'm forced to abide by.

omg it's was really you! now all that's missing is somebody with a ena's icon to complete the bingo lol

 

[permanently tired]

I was for a year and a half or so. In that time, my family all seemed to show concern as it happened immediately after my suicidal intentions were made known. My mother tried herbal remedies, taking me to her home country, suggesting therapy, exercise regimen. Even now, she does a lot for me. The relationship between us is the most painful in my life. I blame her for the pain in my life and it has blinded me though she has been there for the "happiest" ones.

Although neet is theoretically and possibly a nice life, it was not one I enjoyed. I spent most of my time ruminating and depressed. Darkness and silence breeds my depressive thoughts. I got a job and I spend plenty of time complaining abt it to my friends and my mother. I like my half baked rants to them. Talking is cathartic for me. I'm tentatively working on a different job application in the same industry for better benefits. My net worth crossed 10k (cuz no bills) for the first time not too long ago though I've since sequestered most of it to my mother for investing. I've learned a lot from working, skills to navigate a workplace and also something about myself. However awful my complaints make work seem, it's still a distraction from the monotony of neet and inner turmoil. I prefer it to being alone though I think of death as a release on scale I'm incapable of fathoming.

I have less outbursts now and have learned not to let ppl control the direction of my life. I hope to die some time before my body starts to decline. My life is improving on the outside and mentally I am better, but I've reached a state of limbo. I'm not entirely miserable like before, but unable to find a semblance of joy.

I am going to keep working for now. Try to get a few likes on the internet. Save some more money. See a few places. Build this body a little. For far fetched hopes I have a relationship. Finally, when I'm done and reached the pinnacle I deem a nice small hill to die on is when it will be my time to go. I may change my method in time and with more resources I hope to have acquired by then.

i don't know if i have private chat unlocked or if you do either but there is a chat option, ill reply to your message there :)

 

[panhandle5363]

Kind of. Since I graduated high school ten years ago, all I've done is hop from major to major, hoping for some miracle or the motivation to finally see it through. I feel like I'm just wasting my family's money and being a burden.
Now that I've written this down, damn, it's embarrassing.

 

[trashisland]

ive been a neet for almost a year now. honestly, I dont even care if people call me a leech or a bum or whatever, but I feel like this is the 'happiest' ive been. I mean im not happy at all lol but when I was in school it was so bad it wasnt even funny. anything that expects anything from me and has structure like a job or school just drains everything out of me and I cant stick to it. I have a lot of freedom and I get about 900 a month from the govt, so at least thats good, even if I am pretty depressed most of the time

 

[dreaming]

hikikomori here.
I wouldn't want a job even if I could get one.
I do hate how lonely it gets though.
I don't know if I'd ever go to college, I feel like most of the things I'd ever want to learn would probably be better to self-teach, aside from languages, I think classes would be helpful for that.

NEET = Not in Employment, Education, and Training

Anyone here a NEET? What's your experiences about it?

Planning to be a NEET soon because I choose to opt out of being a functioning member of society. No job or company is going to use my life as their leverage to keep me around and be disposed when no longer useful. I have one more year to NEET off and burn my savings to spend on the things that make me happy. and exit out before going homeless.

Would love not to be one but unfortunately I am.
I can't function normally in society so I'm slowly giving up. Tried finding jobs, tried studying, everything just falls apart.

I'm an involuntary NEET and had to quit my full-time job in May 2024 due to my vision worsening as I knew I wouldn't be able to work.

I want to go back to work badly and always advocate for myself during relevant appointments with my core team of providers.

Unfortunately, there isn't a solid treatment plan and my condition is poorly understood which is frustrating considering the stakes being high.

I also can't continue to learn how to drive due to how severe my visual impairment is.

I can't engage in hobbies such as watching television, playing video games and reading books since I have low vision and random, horizontal intermittent diplopia that comes out of nowhere.

I enter sweepstakes, giveaways and take surveys which is still doable with my bad vision but it's all filler.

The only activities I can enjoy are listening to music and dancing.

I'm currently trying to get disability so I can fund treatment and support the household on a higher level.

I feel stuck in a limbo of constantly trying to improve my overall function and I feel like I'm living moment to moment especially without my Atropine 1% sulfate drops.

They cleared the blur but eventually it came back a bit and I learned about side effects that are bad long-term.

I live with my mom which is fine but we have different goals in life, mine is to improve my sight before it's too late while she is more nonchalant and okay with being on SSDI for a while.

I see why people with visual impairment live alone because it gets exhausting explaining your situation over and over when you realize people can't help you.

I wish I could be like the typical NEET and still enjoy my old hobbies but I struggle every day with no real break.

My condition is very hard to deal with daily which is why I'm trying so hard to make it better.

I have no mental health issues diagnosed thankfully but it sucks having the willpower and determinaiton to do so much more but being barred by something as simple as having clear, stable vision.

I know at the end of the day I'm trying my best regarding the circumstances I face but I don't want to be stuck with this condition forever.

I'll feel better once I get disability benefits in some capacity as an act of finality since I really tried to make the condition I have clear.

I won't be 100% happy though.

 

[nintendo64]

Yep. After 4 years of looking for a job with 0 success I just gave up. I get disability payments for my depression, it's pretty easy to get. I recommend it to anyone else who's a neet and has a documented history of depression. It makes me feel a little better that I'm not just getting money from my family now and can pay for stuff myself.

 

[Oreki]

Yeah, I have been recently.

In some ways I actually like it, because I've always hated socializing. I can't stand being around people for too long. Every time I changed jobs, I got the impression that the only thing I really changed was the scenery. At the same time, I'm already tired of being a NEET.
It's not sustainable in the long term, and there's a lot of stigma around it. But honestly, I'm also getting tired of working.

I enjoy not having to interact with people, but it leaves a bitter aftertaste. I enjoy not being stuck in structures that slowly wear me down, but staying like this is wearing me down too. It feels like no matter what I choose, I lose in a different way.

I am, but not by choice. Lost my last job due to my anxiety, been unemployed for months. My father is kind enough to let me stay with him, but I feel incredibly guilty. I've been trying to get a new job but the market is horrible, plus my anxiety frequently gets in the way. Every day I get closer to just killing myself to end it. Im useless anyway

I absolutely hate being NEET. i missed out on almost every major life events that happen at teenage years and missed school completely all because i was scared of facing people. If only i could've grew a backbone or two. Even though it was my choice i didn't choose it willingly i chose NEET lifestyle out of fear of life. I shouldn't have done that. I wish someone would've dragged my butt back but parents gave up on me at that point.

 

[lost in the lilies]

Yup.
I used to feel as if I'm just wasting my time but honestly I've become the waste lol

 

[voidblankmore1]

It wasn't really a choice but I've been a NEET for a couple years now, only really leave the house every couple months when I'm forced to. It's nice on one hand because even if I got to go to high school I would've squandered it with my depression but also living the exact same day over and over for years is making me feel crazy. I've definitely developed agoraphobia or something and ctb feels like the only escape from the monotony that is my life lmao.
