Is it even possible to go from NEET to full employment? Any success stories? Last year I was hired as an intern at a givernment agency but I resigned before I started because I felt like a fraud and because it was such a big change for me to handle: Moving out, finding a house to rent, doing a job I had never done before. It just seemed unreal, and unrealistic. This year I might have a chance to work at a hotel if I make quick decisions. But again I hace to move out to live at hotel with... 5 0 replies

Why is it so complicated to get a job? Why can't I just go there, work and get my money? They require dozens of documents, health check, account in a specific bank, uniform, interview, drug t3st, mental ex4me, etc, etc, etc. This bureaucracy is the reason I'm a NEET, I just wanted to work but they prefer to fuck me in the ass. 1 0 replies
Please change my mind, about a possible stock market side hustle If been racking my brain around how I can make money online, this week. I've so far explored online surveys (earned 7€, in about 20 hours work), explored selling second hand stuff (looks fun, might be getting into that), explored stock photography (earned 0€, in about 12 hours) and earlier today I downloaded a stock market simulator, which might become my new project, next week. The thing is, I'm a little conflicted about using the stock market. I have some savings, so I could use about 5% of those,... 4 0 replies
Anyone not into games anymore? Recent years i keep losing interest in video games, particularly single player. Can only load them up for 30 minutes and feel bored, no longer able to lose myself in them like i use to. For anyone that feels like this, is there a reason? I think its one of three 1. Dopamine rotted from scrolling 2. Anhedonia caused by depression causes by neetdom or change in life circumstances 3. I feel like im wasting time as im not settled in my life so the anxiety is preventing me... 3 4 replies
I am NEET because of planned obsolescence. You can spend all your money to buy the latest smartphone, the latest hardware, the latest TV, etc... ... in 5 years they will already be outdated and to be able to run the latest slop app you will need to buy a new one, that is if it reaches 5 years of durability, which usually doesn't even last 2 without starting to present problems. • Everything in this capitalist system is designed to enslave you as much as possible to a job and especially to money. If you... 5 2 replies
If life is a game i don't want to play i hate this boring ass game. it's all about going to school and working until you can't no more just for piece of toilet paper, nowadays it's literally a digital number on a screen.

I am desperate. I consider myself a NEET since it’s been 7 years I’m not on education training or working. I survive thanks to disability for social anxiety, OCD, depression and borderline personality disorder. Now I feel a bit better than years ago, and I’m enrolled in a program which insert people with disability in the working world. I’m happy to be in this programm but very afraid to work. Any words of comfort? 4 0 replies

How do you feel on a day to day basis? https://preview.redd.it/fbd6bj2yqohe1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=f652043e44397483bf4d7c25c06fd3bcb9051aa8 Hi NEETs, I am just curious, how do you feel on a day to day basis? Yesterday I felt very depressed. I was sad that I was not working. I spent several hours looking at jobs. Eventually I got sick of being so sad and decided to go outside. I walked 5 kms. When I got home I found my mood improved. Most days I am neutral or content. I try to imagine that I am a happy NEET because NEETing is all I have as I am... 2 0 replies

Am I doing enough? After finishing high school I got conscripted into the army. I had a fun time there until I didn't because it mentally broke me and I got medically discharged. So now I'm just home. Not doing a whole lot. I get 380€ of welfare (or whatever it's called in english) per month and I try to put most of that towards investments in ETFs. I'm also in the process of getting my drivers license because I can't even get to a possible job without it since I live in... 4 3 replies
How do you get close to girls as a NEET? In highschool I used to get close to girls all the time, involuntary basically, for example, they would put their hair back over the shoulders in the desk in front of me so I'd touch their hair, smell even lick it. Also in the busy hall I'd touch their body subtly, I could touch anywhere from the butt, arms, legs and boobs if lucky, never got caugh, never. Now I can only see them, I'd never touch women out there like that, I'm too scared, so I can only... 3 2 replies
Had another job interview and thinking of roping again I've been working really hard and trying to be the best candidate. I had a good presentation and had good questions prepared for them that even they had difficulty answering because I think they were not prepared. Their questions were just random criticisms of my work they thought of while viewing my presentation. That was their "interview questions". I smiled and was nice and polite and friendly the whole time. But I feel like I won't get the job again because I believe they decided in the first 2... 1 1 replies
