it's funny, when i first made this thread i included a lot of stuff, some of which i don't even want now.
For instance, the steam deck now that i have a couple ThinkPads from both IBM to the IBM Lenovo transition era I'd rather use those instead.
don't want VR only, more video games or a better GPU.
And, i didn't include mini-pcs, of which i have 1 and have ordered another for a server i am crafting, only to realize im gonna need 1 or 2 more.
now im trying to figure out how i can put a GPU in this thing.
pic related ought to work

is anyone else here beginning to develop something to the effect of paranoia and delusions after prolonged social isolation? i've been completely alone for over a year now, and even when i was younger i was a social outcast. lately i've begun to have these episodes where i compulsively worry/catastrophize about things like people stalking me, this weird internet conspiracy where people are stalking me and recording everything i do, something to the truman delusion. on top of this i've begun to notice that objects in my room are telepathically communicating with me; it's not like "hearing voices" as the voices are very obviously in my head in the same space as like an internal monolouge, they aren't "diegetic" really, i can tell that they aren't real and are just hallucinations, but it defintiely isn't normal.

is it possible for loneliness and prolonged social isolation to cause psychotic symptoms? am i losing my mind?

something to note in the case of comorbidity; i am diagnosed with major depressive disorder and my psychiatrist seems to believe and wants to investigate the possibility of borderline personality disorder, which may partially be related to my social isolation and why i'm in this situation in the first place. I apologize if this thread comes off as strange or weird question.

Me too OP. Mental health services told me it's an issue with my life instead.

Some suspect I have bpd, I've been having paranoid delusions and also hallucinations worsening a few months ago. My theory is it may be because of a lack of stimulation. Humans aren't supposed to be alone this long

Yeah occipital neuralgia,(only thing here that feels like my fault) constant full body nerve pain,extreme heat sensitivity, abdominal pain, nausea, tiredness. I hate doctors who want to call it fibromyalgia and leave it at that without treating the worsening symptoms. I hope I can find a cause before I can't get the money for anything anymore and I hope you are all kind to yourselves

hi /n/, im curious about the NEETdom and wondering if you could answer some questions?

how long have you been a NEET?
was there a reason for you becoming a NEET?
what do you do all day?
what form of social interaction do you have, online and offline?
how often do you get outside, if at all?
do you live independently or with parents?

well I didn't get the job because I didn't have manager experience. How am I supposed to get experience for a job that requires the experience of that job to get?
Anyway, I HATE VIRTUAL INTERVIEWS. I HATE SETTING UP MY WEBCAM. I HATE SHOWING STRANGERS MY LIVING SPACE WHEN THEY WON'T EVEN SHOW THEIR FACE.

>how long have you been a NEET?
Two years currently, plus 2 years between 2020 and 2022.

>was there a reason for you becoming a NEET?

Mental health problems from childhood s/a, and generally not liking other people. I find it impossible to talk to or trust anyone, even if I know I should.

>what do you do all day?

Scroll through imageboards/social media, read a lot of manga and play a lot of games (even if they aren't good..)

>what form of social interaction do you have, online and offline?

I have a friend who texts me from time to time, I think she just finds the way I live interesting. I don't get it, but there's probably some novelty in listening to me ramble

>how often do you get outside, if at all?

Every few months. My mom has health issues and doesn't like going to checkups alone.

Long periods of on and off since I was 12
>was there a reason for you becoming a NEET?
Autism, social anxiety, not having friends, undiagnosed ADHD
>what do you do all day?
Browse Imageboards, watch other people live their life online, watch childish shows
>what form of social interaction do you have, online and offline?
Online this is as close as it gets. Offline sometimes my mother's friend's daughter visits
>how often do you get outside, if at all?
Maybe every 2 weeks I will leave the house for an appointment or something
>do you live independently or with parents?
With parents, I'd die alone

I missed out on everything as a kid. I was always left alone by my peers which fucked me up of any social skills in the long run. I still have trouble holding a conversation. Have you guys had any trouble as a kid? This extreme isolation happened from 3rd to 8th grade which was enough to cripple me possibly my whole life. Or what is left of it anyway. Nearly 6 years of my life consisted of going home from school and back. Every day. Never talk with anyone, not even with family. Just me and my thoughts from a young age

I don't want to be like those other anons who just vent out shit here, so I'll ask the question, have you guys went through something similar that had a damaging effect on you? I still feel bits of loneliness from it.

pic unrelated FLCL just makes me feel like shit

i've recently deleted my discord accoutn in an attempt to at least drastically cut back my social interaction and at most completely socially isolate myself because i feel like it's better than constantly begging people for attention and having public mental breakdowns. i know the methodology of my little self-experiment is incredibly stupid and my wording is probably strange too but i feel like eventually my biological urge to socialize will go away. any advice as to what i should do to fill the time?

There used to be a lot easier ways to find community online and everything was so distilled into sameness from memes, style of discussion, etc. Every community felt unique. There's not a whole lot we can do about it, but I agree that immersing yourself in hobbies is the best way to avoid the isolation feelings (something that I've been neglecting to do myself recently and just stressing myself worrying if I fit into online spaces instead of just not giving a fuck as if it matters). It's tiring because at this point, I feel both a call to isolation and a call to not be alone. Both conflicting at once. It's within in this state of mind I find myself wondering just how much online really effects my mind, and if I should just take a break/hiatus from things again.

As an incel I will soon be 30 years old, I am tired of waiting and struggling, no woman will come into my life, and deep down I know it. It would be better to focus on me, my health, my hobbies and my personal growth. Sometimes life is like that, you have to be strong and conscious, but you are still alive and you can still enjoy things.

It's a fansite for a game where some girl shuts herself in her apartment and has nightmares until she kills herself and there isn't much to the game other than to watch the girl go through trippy and fucked up trauma implications.
That will obviously gather a bunch of people from which a great many will be mentally ill, and for some reason they have a forum to discuss mental health of all things where most are likely not to be in a good place to give mental health tips to anybody.
Of damn course its not a place for kids or idiots. This site is as adults only as it gets.
