From now on, the >>>/rec/ board should generally be used for conversations about recovery from NEETism. This is not a hard rule but you are likely to have a better experience.

Seeing as absolutely everyone misread the /hikki/ rules sticky and used it to draw apocalyptic conclusions about the death of all that was good about /n/, here's a less flippant sticky with less room for ambiguity, in the form of a Q&A. We've also made some concessions based on your feedback in thread >>13, which was moved to /sugg/ for being meta.

What is allowed on this board? What is its purpose?
On this board you can discuss and request or give advice regarding NEETism, Hikikomoriism, anxieties and social or mental issues arising from these conditions of living, and things closely related to these topics. If you're content with being a NEET at this stage in your life, that's ok, and you won't get in trouble for saying so. The board's primary focus is self-help and advice regarding these issues. Despite rumors, threads looking for help with suicidal feelings or drug addition are also allowed.

What is not allowed on this board?
* Encouraging others to become NEET.
* Attacking or discouraging others for being NEET.
* Giving or requesting advice on how to enter the NEET lifestyle.
* Encouraging or showcasing drug usage.
* Announcing your planned suicide.
* Helping others to plan or commit suicide.
* Topics not related to the purpose of the board. Such topics will be moved.

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

Just believing in him won't help, it's a necessary step, but not the end of the path. You have to be baptized in order to get into heaven, and yes, you can lose your salvation if you continue to sin, hell is full and it will sadly only fill more up these days.

I was a NEET and after being forced out of it the only way for me to go on was by constantly daydreaming. Even that didn't fully help, because what most of us lack is a reason to even get out of bed. We can't connect with people IRL nor can we do so with the world itself really, so we're left stranded in this alien world, which seems to just hate us, with apparently no reason. I know how shit being a NEET can be, don't delude yourself, but it still seems better and more reasonable than slaving away for things you don't care about. Yet we still yearn for meaning, for something that justifies our existence. Please just give it a chance, give yourself the chance to believe and it will soon make all much more sense. This existence seems like hell sometimes, but what awaits afterwards for the unjust will be much worse. Living a life of sorrow, yearning for the sweet relief of death, only to be thrown down deeper into eternal damnation.
Please, give it a try, believe, what do you have to lose at this point? I know I didn't had anything to lose and after starting to believe, praying, being baptized and refusing myself to sin I made a recovery I didn't even knew I was capable of anymore.

While I am okay with religious topics being discussed on this site, I ask that you refrain from directly attempting to convert people to your religion here. I am sure I am not the only user this is traumatic for, in fact I had to delete other users' visceral reactions earlier. This is now a rule going forward.

I have more personal thoughts on the matter but I do not want this thread to be further derailed.

in my experience, spending MORE time by myself once highschool was over actually did wonders for anything I had going on somehow. I finally had the time to actually do what I wanted without having to be as drained and depressed all the time from being forced to do well in something I didn't personally see any benefit from. you just have to keep going, honestly. I actually talk to my own family now, I was extremely anti-social before due to the same sort of anxiety and mental anguish. It's still there but after some years I can somehow just do more things I couldn't now, more often, just more chilled out overall. I hope things get better for you naturally over time too, anon. try to just enjoy the ride

Can vouch. Getting out of mandatory schooling was probably the best thing to happen to me. As soon as you're allowed to take things at your own pace, things get a lot easier to process (at least in my experience). I admit it helps if you have some quality of life backup like family able to support you, but the matter is just making it through is probably one of the most important things. I hope things improve, Op. You're doing great.

>how long have you been a NEET?
Three years.

>was there a reason for you becoming a NEET?

Social anxiety and misanthropy. I hated dealing with people.
Tried doing college online, but I got bored and felt like I didn't learn anything, and the rest is history.

>what do you do all day?

Game dev, play games, write in my journal, workout, mess with computer stuff from time to time, and sleep. Contemplating on playing guitar but eh.

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

Offline: Mum and brother.
Online: I have two friends, but we pretty much talk only a little bit these days.

>what form of social interaction do you have, online and offline?
group chats, matrix chats, banter on forums n boards.
>how often do you get outside, if at all?
maybe once a week or every 2 weeks i go on a walk.
>do you live independently or with parents?
with parents.

 No.8034

>how long have you been a NEET?
About 5 years now?
>was there a reason for you becoming a NEET?
I simply do not want to work. It makes me miserable and suicidal. I have some issue where I can't sleep at the same time every day, so being forced to wake up at the same time just means I will be chronically sleep deprived as I was my entire childhood, university, and when I did have a job. I am also diagnosed with Autism spectrum disorder and bipolar, which I take medication for.
>what do you do all day?
I play team fortress 2, play eroge, watch anime, watch youtube, read some non-fiction books and watch lectures to further my knowing. ALso Make music and other creative projects. I used to visit imageboards all the time but these days less so.
>what form of social interaction do you have, online and offline?
I have 2 irl friends, one of whom lives far away so I see him rarely, the other I also see rarely because I don't want to go outside. I have various online friends. I also have a transgender online girlfriend which is nice.
>how often do you get outside, if at all?
I go out weekly for groceries, and then maybe once a month I go to the cinema with my friend.
>do you live independently or with parents?
I live alone. I own my own apartment and I have a sizable inheritance from my parent's death which allows me to survive so long as I live cheaply. Which is fine because I am low maintenance. I don't mind eating rice and beans to live.

Even knowing there's people in the same building as me makes it impossible to fully relax and be myself, and it kills any productivity. It feels so restricting.

How do you achieve complete isolation from humans?

I'm in the same boat. I live in an apartment with three other people since I'm a college student, and sometimes I would rather piss in a cup and dump it later than risk bumping into anyone on the way to the shared bathroom.

When I go to supermarkets, the thought of how many people were required to make all the flooring/ceiling/racks/commodities makes me freak out. I feel like there's a million hands all reaching out at me. It doesn't help that I'm a Muricafag, so of course I feel scummy because the migrant people working the commercial bakeries and packaging machines and whatever are having an infinitesimally more difficult life just for me to be here pissing my pants at the thought of never being able to achieve real isolation.

I cannot recommend getting a bigger portable battery pack enough. Since I stay without power regularly (voluntarily or not) it's awesome to have something with a 100 Watt USB-C port to charge whatever I need, be it my laptop, phones, lights, radios or even reviving rechargeable batteries.

You can get "palm"-sized 150Wh boxes with Li-ion cells and passive cooling for about $120 new. And yes, small "phone powerbanks" are overrated, they suck.

Unions are blood sucking parasites. Wherever there's a union, you don't don't really have a choice but to be part of it, and they have large membership fees. Then, they end up focusing on all kinds of completely irrelevant libtard shit instead of the one thing they're supposed to. Organizations aren't in a charitable mood after meeting their demands, so they don't give anything except what is demanded of them. It creates an antagonistic relationship between worker and employee.

That's why teachers, who spend 7+ hours a day in school, not only don't get free lunches, they don't get offered food to buy. A lot of suburb schools are in a random field too, and you're not supposed to leave the building in the middle of the day. So you really have no option other than to bring your food from home, which isn't how socialism is supposed to work. They don't even get free coffee. You have to bring your own. With unions, you get the worst of both socialism and corporatism, without any of the good points of either.

Over the years it's increasingly taken me hours or days to make a single post because I'm afraid of there being something stupid in it that'd aggro angry replies towards me, or that I find it to be lacking substance or sincerity through poor vocabulary and therefore making me look stupid or shallow. With those two factors compounded by depression it locks me up, and for over a year now I can hardly speak to anyone without sounding like I'm mentally challenged or not even finish a single sentence and suffocate on my tongue.

Something very similar to this just happen to me hours ago in a call with friends that ended up boring. Not trying to sound like the last cocacola of the desert, but trying to find someone interesting that don't talk about "normies" (ᵈᵒⁿᵗˡᶦᵏᵉᵗʰᵃᵗᵗᵉʳᵐ) topics or similar feels impossible, to the point that the conversation just die in minutes, with the feeling that you just fool yourself.

to be honest the best strategy I found for getting out of this kind of rut everyone’s talking about is getting horrifically obsessed with something. Chances are, you’ll find a community for that thing and be able to go from there without ‘normie’ topics interfering. I’ve got a friend who, if the conversation dies, will IMMEDIATELY start talking about VTubers and it’s honestly a relief because i get to hear about whatever mad shit they’re up to + no one’s asking about the weather or anything. Small talk like that is saved for being stuck in an elevator or a bus being late.

I'm a good kid, I'm a real good kid, but this one bad break fucking RUINED ME. Now I can't do shit, everything's shit, I AM SHIT. I can't write a paper to save my life. But I want to! I want to prove that I can! Let me do anything else please!

I have been cleaning my house, I've done the dishes everyday, done my laundry, done all this goody good nice stuff that I would usually ignore, plodding around looking for ANYTHING to do. Anything but that god-forsaken paper, cause I just can't do it. I feel like it's impossible, and each moment I'm just inching towards failing. I feel like this is unfair? How could this happen to me? IM A GOOD KID IM TELLING YOU. Stupid Friday, stupid weekend, stupid paper, I've tried to stay up on Sunday and Monday to do this, and I just gave up around 5 AM both times. I woke up today on Tuesday at 1 PM, And I still haven't done that paper. I know I'm turning back to how I was before, and I can't fight it, I'm too scared to go back, I wanna stay where it's safe, even though it hurts me in a way I don't understand.
