Anyone else feel their family benefits from their NEETdom?
I feel like an emotional support animal rather than a human. Every interaction has me questioning my sanity so I’ve just learned to turn off my brain and live in a near constant state of disassociation. When I talk about getting a job they’ll mention that we’re rich and can afford anything and I’d be taking jobs away from the poor. When I talk about going to school, it’s either applying and getting into a good university or I’m ‘selling myself short’ by trying to go to community college. When I want to try to meet up with people I know online, they’ll say I’ll get kidnapped and sold into human trafficking because I’m too naive. The world turns upside down when I’m not awake during the day to fill my duties as an emotional support pet. Everything is getting more difficult with time. I want out. I want to socialize with a cashier. I want to chat with coworkers and to come home and make myself dinner. I want to have sex with someone I love, and that loves me. I want to live somewhere where I can dictate when someone comes in my home. I want food that isn’t variants of flour and water. I want to go to the store and buy a thing of milk instead of waiting for the twice a month shopping trip I get to stock up on canned goods. I want to go to a doctor when I think I’m sick. I want friends I can go out to arcades with, shoot stuff, go to cafes or restaurants, maybe fishing? Movies? I don’t know what people do with friends, but I’d want whatever that is. My family benefits far more from me being constantly here and available for free therapy or friendship or to get out their anger of the day than they do with me being normal and happy. I have desires to get out yet no family support which keeps me stuck.2
