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.

after seven years in hikkidom, i am forced to leave. within the next month i will be homeless. i live in rural america. here it is very difficult to get a job. especially for someone like me. all the jobs are taken. the ones that aren't are ones i don't qualify for. if i do qualify for one, they ask for experience. i've only gotten calls back just for them to tell me i'm not going to be considered. can't nepobaby my way into a job.

 No.10386

despite all of this, i am fine, actually. if it wasn't for this then i could live like this for the rest of my life, unfortunately. i'm afraid, anxious, uncertain, and every horrible feeling you can experience in a situation like this. i've never lived before, and i'm about to head into a life that normies would consider unfortunate and tragic. but for me it is the first time i will be something. and for that i am optimistic.

i'm going to spend my final days of hikkidom at my computer, cherishing it all. sitting at my computer brings me a type of joy that i haven't had anywhere else. i love it the very second i turn it on. protruding forward in the chair has caused anterior pelvic tilt, round shoulders, and possibly a thyroid condition, but that seems like a bargain after all i've got out of it. i could correct my posture but it wouldn't be the same.

i have a rough plan. it's probably a very retarded plan.
there is a bus that goes all the way to the capital city.
it's a seven hour ride and a ticket costs $70.
i have $600 saved and hopefully i can sell my setup for some extra money before i leave.
there are homeless shelters for youth in the city.
i am 22 but the cutoff for these shelters is 24.
if i call and there's a bed available then they legally have to take me.
they have resources and opportunities once you get a bed here.
they help you and such and i am indeed in need of help.

apologies for the long and self indulgent post. i don't have any friends. i want to hear from ppl who have recovered and have any insight. i want to hear from ppl who dream of recovering. i want to hear from ppl who don't dream of recovering. i want to hear from ppl who think that i'm retarded.

you can do it OP, you already gave a good mindset, most people are pretty hopeless even when in more fortunate conditions. If you can get a stable income and a residence in the future, try to work on your mental health, maybe going to a therapist (though idk about the prices of therapy in the US) or doing physical activities like biking or running. everything is possible if you try hard enough, godspeed

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

No. I can't get myself to do anything.
I know that if I somehow managed to get into some course and what not, I will end up messing that up too. So I don't try.
I don't know what I live for. I have no goals or ambitions. I don't want to accomplish anything either. So I'm just doing the same things everyday. I wake up, smoke a pack of cigs and drink lots of coffee, gain weight and sleep.
I think, when I inevitably get kicked out, I will have to be an hero. But that day isn't here yet.

My parents are trying to force me out of NEETdom. Mom is trying to get me to go to college again. Dad wants me to work the family business.
I'm terrified to put them in any more debt. I don't want to go outside. Just want to board myself up in a basement and never come out until I have no choice but to commit to it. I'm deathly afraid of dying despite logically understanding that it's my only option. Yaldabaoth must be having a laughing fit over watching me squirm and rot.
What a miserable pile of excrement I am.
I noticed I started to get anxious over meaningless things. I ordered food today, and when the delivery guy knocked on my door I started to hyperventilate thinking it was one of my parents.
How daunting it is to exist at all.
I need to save the people around me from myself.

~15 years as a hikikomori.
i was semi-popular growing up, i don't have social anxiety, i'm not an incel, i'm not depressed.
i've just had my trust betrayed too many times, dealt with too many shitty people, and the few good people i've met in my life are mostly dead. having really shitty narcissistic/sociopathic parents probably contributed as well. i started being a hikiko when my fiance's best friend was murdered leading to my fiance going insane. checked out of life, became a tranny, only leave my house for food.

I've never felt a part of this world. Always felt cut off and separate from everybody. For example I was a handsome, good looking guy when I was a teenager but there was just something wrong with my personality. The guys hated me, the girls hated. I was probably the most unpopular person in my school, or at least my year group. I've learned in the last year through therapy that all of my problems stem from all the trauma I suffered as a child. Now I'm 23, unemployed and suffer from schizophrenia. I haven't worked since I was 18. Over the years I've had periods of being a shut in. The two main ones were when I was 17 where the only time I left the house was to go to see a psychiatrist and then from September 2024 through to August 2025. It was August last year after reading the Welcome to the NHK manga that I made the decision to do something about all this shit. I started going to a local college to do a very non-demanding music course. I've got a nice group of friend group now but I still can't work (probably never will) and there are still days (like today) where I just feel all alone in the world.

I think there's a lot of overlap between BPD and SzPD, in that borderlines who're cognizant of what a bother they can be and how they can ruin their lives clam up to where their symptoms could have them mistaken for a schizoid.

funny you say that. they're considering removing schizoid from the next dsm revision because there's a strong case it doesn't meet the definition of a disorder, and it's a lot closer to an equal or superior alternative to neurotypical because in most schizoid cases the person has a good reason for becoming schizoid and the self-imposed avoidance is beneficial based on their lived past experiences.
there's also talks of renaming it to avoid confusion with schizophrenia.
in my personal case, my life has improved since becoming a schizoid. i got little positive out of my past interactions with people, most of them were cold hearted sociopaths and peanut-brained narcissists anyways. the only negative aspect to being a schizoid is the anhedonia. it sucks when something good happens in my life, and i know i should feel good because of it, but i don't.

wow thank you so much for your kind words. i've actually been stressing a lot over the past week because i've had really bad art block and i've been worried about disappointing my commissioner. i got in touch with them today and they said not to worry so your encouragement on top of that has really helped :)

i've been dogsitting for a schizo hippie antivaxxer freak (i fucking hate dogs ;-;) for the past few weeks and i cannot wait to get home. this little inbred chihuahua dust mote thing shit all over himself and i think i'm gonna have to cut the poop out of his fur. the other dog is a retarded elderly husky who sheds all over the place like jesus h christ the floor here is MORE HAIR THAN FLOOR

also i brought a ygo deck set on a whim and one of the social workers that my cuck government pays to tolerate me so i don't hang myself used to play the game so hopefully i can get into that soon. i like the art style a lot more than mtjeet and there's apparently a few cool furry archetypes, so i'm pretty interested.

went to a seahorse sanctuary today and there was a cuddlefish, very cool animal. liked him more than the actual seahorses

commissioner turned out to be an egotistical piece of shit, as germans often are. kind of put me off drawing furries for a while. however the social worker brought me paint pens, so i've been doing lots of little paintings on magic cards. here are some of them. i started last week.

it's nice to be able to draw at a lower level of fidelity and not feel as though it's "my fault". i like having to use a limited palette, too, it reminds me a lot of doing pixel art but more fun because less autistic fuckery involved lol.

i brought 2 books yesterday; lolita, and the catcher in the rye. both apparently quite depressing but i just beat hotline miami 2 so i figure i can probably soldier on through anything at this point haha

also i have a wrinkle in time, a wind in the door, a swiftly tilting planet, and piranesi arriving soon, so i'm excited for those. madelene l'engle is one of my favorite authors ever.

drawing is a slog, i'm totally uninspired
social media is cliquey and reactive

i really wish that there were some cool communities where i could meet people and make actual friends. my groomcord is libraryorb, on the off chance that some fellow degenerate wants it.

i don't know. literally everything i do feels like i'm throwing a punch underwater, online and offline. video games aren't really enjoyable.

here's a new shartwork i did. i don't like it.

Does anyone feel fundamentally different from other people?

Like there's an insurmountable wall separating you from everyone else that you won't ever be able to overcome. Even with all the riches and a perfect life on the surface there would still be distance.

Ever since I was a kid I was the "weird kid." At home I was an unwanted child. It really just feels like I'm not supposed to exist, but do anyway, as some glitch in the matrix. And all the forces in the universe are desperately trying to bug fix my existence.

I feel very little loyalty towards the world, humanity, or society.

I do feel different from others, but in a good way. I recently got laid off from a dreadful, dead job that I spent far too long at and there were only a handful of people that were actually interesting and worth keeping in touch with. I realize now that a lot of those people weren't shit, and I'm happy that I didn't keep them around. Trust me anons, its better to be alone than to be surrounded by shitheads, and/or to mask yourself to the point that you're a different person.

Does anyone else feel like they've been NEETbrained for essentially all of their life? Even in elementary school, I could never see myself going to college, because I hated school too much (I have ADHD and autism), and when I was in middle school, my plan was to mooch off my family until they die (my family consisted of two people who could have taken care of me), then either:

1. Mooch off friends (I didn't want to do that because even I am capable of basic guilt, but seeing as my family brought me into this world and fucked me up, I felt like I was owed them taking care of me).I have no friends now. I don't leave the house unless to help my mom with groceries, which is a shame because today was actually the perfect weather to relax in it :( but I don't really have lawn chairs etc.
2. Go to jail/prison for the rest of my life. Considering the type of people who end up there, how guards treat you, and what actions would even have to lead me there, no.
3. Go to a mental hospital for the rest of my life. I have been in them before. After the adjustment period, they're actually really nice. I remember being in one of those blue gowns and looking at myself in the mirror and feeling like that was the only place for me.

So yeah. I don't relate to the common NEET's life that went something like:
>be me
>exists
>naturally develop career-based dreams
>go to college for them (outside of NEETs who dropped out of high school, but a lot seemed to go to college)
>fail college or graduate (I'm surprised (and impressed) by the amount of NEETs who went to college, even if they never graduated)
>somehow failed in the workforce, probably due to social awkwardness and not being able to social network or have coworkers like them, idk

My life was more like being overwhelmed with the idea of growing up since I was 11-12 and never being able to cope with the growing accountability, responsibility, and independence, which led me to become suicidal so I never really SERIOUSLY planned for the future. I mean I did plan for the mooching/jail/mental hospital thing, but I genuinely just expected (and hoped) to be dead before 18. Now that I'm out of school, I am not actively suicidal, but… empty? Like I want something that doesn't exist. Purpose, Post too long. Click here to view the full text.
