Trans Mega Thread!

So, let's try something here.

Frequently a trans-related topic comes up in a thread here in /hikki/, and the thread will quickly get derailed by malicious comments or by the diversion in topic just taking over. There is clearly a lot of interest in discussing trans topics, as well as a lot of unwelcome interest in shutting them down. But they do tend to take over threads either way. So, while we figure out how to handle this from a moderation standpoint, I am going to make a trans discussion mega thread here to contain such conversations. This might end up being permanent. If you find that a thread makes you want to discuss a trans-related topic, make a post here instead.

Rules 6 and 7 are strictly enforced in this thread, and violations will result in longer bans. However, uncomfortable questions are also allowed within reason.

Also if a trans topic starts to derail a thread from now on we may delete those posts.

Also Sei is trans. So I might make some posts in here as well.

Update 11/04/2024: When the conversation in the trans thread veers into whether transness is even a thing that exists, that will be considered an attempt at derailment. This thread isn't for you. It is specifically a containment thread for people who want to talk about transness from the starting assumption that the topic itself and the kind of identity it discusses is valid. Please keep that in mind.

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

it's okay, i mean "cyb" as in /cyb/ (the board) which means cybersecurity. i have some stuff to get started (which i still have to get into myself):
https://cyberpunk-life.neocities.org/
https://github.com/Hack-with-Github/Awesome-Hacking
https://github.com/sbilly/awesome-security
https://sizeof.cat/links/#security
you just need a laptop, no need to have something powerful. there's the cyb career faq in the first website of these iirc that explains a possible path to get a job in the field
anyways, hope you can resist in there, i know the feeling. just don't get stuck in a wagie job for eternity (difficulty: impossible)

Thank you, I will look into everything you send in the morning. Is it actually possible to just get a cybersec job without a degree? I've seen plenty of NEETs do it over the years. Maybe it's possible with COMPTia certs.

Hooo boy. I keep coming back to this thread I made years ago. It's 4 AM and I'm smoking on my childhood home'd kitchen window. Since I made this thread not much had changed. I attempted to go to college, then barely attended and dropped out. Just playing vidya at nights and sleeping the day through. 14 year old me would not be surprised at all. My NEET days are about to be over, I think. My mom has daily fights with me over my NEETdom and is forcing me to get a job. I'm barely eating and when I do I feel disgusting and guilty about it. To add salt to my injury my mom makes sure to constantly berate me about my weight, as if she hadn't given me an eating disorder through 12th grade. I feel so disgusting whenever I eat most things. I don't know why, despite everything, I still haven't became an hero. I'm too lazy to rope I guess. I'm do tired.

Also the reason why FLCL makes me feel like shit is because of my fear of missing out. I want to go on adventures with friends like in the anime, but throughout the years I've felt that I was too old for that stuff or was simply too depressed to go out. Anyway, idk what I'm going for with this post. Maybe It's just an update? Or maybe I'm just proving my existence by shouting at the void. Nevertheless I'm only hoping that my dad gives me money for another pack of cigs tomorrow, I only got 2 left in the pack.

when i was in elementary and middle school i was the "target kid"; the one who was the easiest to bully and because of this i spent a lot of that time an outcast and i believe it most likely had disastrous consequences for my long tterm health

my mother has come to realize that i havent been leaving my bed let alone my room and she's starting to try to pull me out of the room to spend time with her (e.g. cooking, helping her out with stuff).

however, there's some subconscious side of me that, against my will, fights her at every step and the moment i'm free from her plunges me back deeper into isolation. i don't know what to do. i dont want to be this way anymore. i don't want to be alone but for some reason part of me does want to.

i wanted to live a normal life. i wanted to go to community college. i wanted to have a career. i wanted to have a loving husband. instead i can't remember the last time i left my house.

please for the love of god help me. i cant keep living like this. i genuinely don't know what to do anymore. i don't want to die a miserable shell of who i used to be.

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.

Reading this was just like looking myself in the mirror. I started to feel paranoid and this over-self awareness about many things; especially if I need to do things outside. Feeling this sensation of being watched or recorded for no rational reason. I even talk alone so much, to the point that I think the objects around me are listening and having their own opinion. Social isolation in his overdrive I suppose.

>is it possible for loneliness and prolonged social isolation to cause psychotic symptoms? am i losing my mind?
yes to both, humans are inherently social creatures despite our attempts to tell ourselves otherwise. If you have a friend you can confide in, I would suggest talking to them at least a little bit (it could be about anything, even an online friend could suffice). I'd also suggest maybe going for a walk outside or changing your surrounding for a bit so you aren't caught up in the subtle monotony that can drive yourself insane when isolate. Even something as simple as cleaning your room or changing the curtains can go a long way.

As for the feeling of being stalked, I've been there and the best thing you can do is to repeat to yourself "its not true" and reminder yourself that you are but one person in a sea of a billion of people. While it may be true that some data firm is collecting your voting records, nobody truly cares to constantly record and track you. If that were the case, many petty criminals especially cyber criminals would be caught by now, there would constantly be a social worker at your doorstep at any given time, and society would have cameras watching us in the home (and no amazon and google products people willing put in their homes doesn't count, i'm talking legit gov Orwellian shit). The truth of the matter is that not only is that shit massively expensive and impractical for a gov (I've worked in gov, I know trust me) but its also a violation of privacy laws (which despite gov repeatedly trying to break with shit like the Patriot act and Prism, it always comes back to bite them in the ass and still many things slip under the radar because of the impracticality of it all). You aren't being watched, except for cookies on sites designed to advertise you useless shit and chances are you already most of that blocked with browser extensions. Just don't go on shady sites and align with shady people and you should be good.

It might be worth it to tell your psychiatrist about these delusions. At worst you could be schizophrenic, at best you could just be very autistic. I'm not a therapist or a psych medicine person though, I'm just an anon with too much free time.

Hey anons, any other crippled NEETs out there? It feels like most people I've seen online who are NEETs struggle with mental illness/disability. There's a lot of overlap in the limitations between being mentally or physically limited but I've been wondering if anyone is in a situation more like mine.

Two years ago I broke my neck and I ended up completely losing everything I had going on in my life. I had a degree, a solid job, then I had to move back in with my parents away from all my friends, and my gf of eight years broke up with me and kept my cat. Since then I have been on disability bux and have no intentions of returning to work. My parents care for me and I can do essentially nothing for myself besides limited tech use

My life is much less stressful now that I'm not working but I have no idea how to handle how deeply sad, bored, and lonely I am. Without the use of my legs or hands there's not much I can do to stay entertained and it's so humiliating not being able to take care of yourself. I'm bound to my chair or my bed and never leave my room except for doctor's appointments. I'm able to use my phone to get on the web, text, read books, and watch movies or YouTube but nothing really keeps my attention anymore

Anyone else here deal with physical disabilities or some sort of similar situation that has advice? My parents are quickly aging and it's difficult to imagine a future where my only option is to live in a nursing home let alone have a fulfilling life. Tried therapy once and it didn't go well. I'm not going to do it but I can't stop thinking about driving my wheelchair off a dock at a nearby body of water, my wheelchair weighs 450 lbs and would quickly sink

I'm living a nightmare scenario that's often proposed to neet/hiki "what would you do if your caregiver gets sick?" well, this is what has happened to me and i don't know how much time i have left, but i refuse to work, my aunt i could stay with her for a while. Not sure if my stepdad will still take care of me, he said he would, but you never know.
For the time being, I'm trying to enjoy myself in any way i can until things get worse, sucks because i have no other family. fuck it.
