Trans Mega Thread Seisatsu ## Owner 08/13/24 (Tue) 18:48:49 No.8376[Reply][Last 50 Posts]

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.

Welcome to the NHK v2 aka The Rules Seisatsu ## Owner 02/04/16 (Thu) 22:47:24 No.172[Reply]

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.

Do you ever feel like you're passively observing your life, or that the physical world is no more real than the virtual one or the one in your head? Do you ever forget the meanings of the subjective or abstract, or stop understanding the purpose of normal human actions like saying words or putting food in themselves?
Is there anything specific that caused this for you? How long does it go on for, and how often does it happen? I remember a while back I nearly got hit by a car because it happened when I was in the middle of the road and I just stopped moving.

this guy again.
recently my derealisation seems to happen more often due to anxiety and depression. i noticed it happens a lot when i am in a particularly depressed state or when i am in a situation that makes me feel uncomfortable and anxious. also depersonalisation is happening more often when i am around people, when i have to walk past people it feels like my body goes on autopilot

i daydream a lot and a similar thing has happened to me. feels like i am in the dream of this girl i saw in a dream once and see in my daydreams, like she is real but this “real world” isnt and i am just the protagonist of her dream. but her dream is more like an alternate universe. so her dream has BECOME an alternate universe (this one) where i am the only being with any basis, everyone else is an NPC with nothing behind it. eventually when i die i will be united with her in her universe. she is the god of this realm and controls everything around me and what happens to me

occasionally have moments of clarity where i realise i am delusional though

there are times where things just feel completely wrong, and this feeling just keeps growing
sometimes i feel that i'm not mentally the same person that i am at other times
and when i drink these feelings are amplified, and sometimes i'll keep drinking because i'm afraid of going back to the person i was when i was sober, so i keep drinking until i throw up, then going to bed with the feeling that everything is spinning around me and speeding up constantly
i rarely drink because of that

For as long as I can remember, I've occasionally felt as if my entire life has just been a dream. Sometimes it's more that everything feels like I'm watching a movie or something and I'm just the camera. But I don't think that's the same thing.

Not sure about just how is an average American getting a visa to go to Russia (maybe through China?) legally and without getting trafficked / deployed to the SMO and slaughtered like a dog. Whoever is organizing for you is more than likely scamming you.

Assuming this is not outright ragebait (which it likely is), I still wouldn't go. Expect to work a lot for barely surviving anywhere (Siberia is a fucking hellscape btw), and I value my basic human freedoms (as I am a very outspoken person)

There is a better option for almost any circumstance. There are much better Slavic countries with gorgeous nature you can build your own little life in. If extremely rural life is what you desire, try Japan, Thailand, or any Asian country with dying elderly population. Even if you are legal enemies with the US, there are still far better countries to exile to.

Do things just get better? I feel like my entire life has been some kind of transitionary period. I've always just been waiting for the next thing to happen, the next house, the next open room, the next apartment, the next space. I genuinely feel like I have no concept of setting down and feeling secure. I also just feel like I'm at the complete whims of my family, they tell me what I have to do, they expect me to do this, go to college, get a good job, they expect me to get married and have kids for them. I haven't even felt happy first. I just want to live for myself, if I can't be on my own, I don't want to even live at all.

I've felt so dejected from drawing at all. I've just kinda ran away from my friends online, I can't seem to do anything.

Please tell me that some of you guys feel the same way, because I have no idea what to do.

End of the year. I can say that nothing has changed, and I'm pretty comfy. Ended up not going to college. Instead I applied to a ton of jobs and got literally not a single reply back. But holy shit am I glad I'm not working right now. Actually, something did change: I started talking to a bunch of people. Most of them ghosted me, but the most interesting one stayed. Essentially, I gave up on life for the second time, and now I don't feel like shit anymore. Funny how that works.

Hello anon, I'm a wanderer. On the streets and the internet. There's nothing that gets simpler in neetdom and your parents will perish in due time.
My real story began when I understood that they could never sustain me longterm in any sense and merely supported me halfheartedly to avoid loneliness and each other. Its a horrible cop out and the result is no less better when you're alone.
To me, and likely not many others, I would assume its not a great ending. Its a simple one of enduring what might be and will happen.
To me, I endured the death and accepted that I am no longer accepted into normalcy yet I filter between acceptable and await the death of manners. There will be an end to me inevitably and it will not be one of a neets death.

I turned 30 earlier this year. Birthdays are always highly melancholic for me, as it simply means that I'm one year older and one year closer to dying. However, my 30th birthday is one that I've always especially dreaded. I've always felt like, once I turn 30, I won't be young anymore. I'm truly an adult, whether I feel like one or not. But what does it even mean to be an adult anyways? Quite frankly, I don't want anything to do with what society tells me "adults" are supposed to do. I don't want to get married or have kids. I don't want to be a debt slave and work a job that I hate so that I can spend the rest of my life paying rent to a landlord (or paying off a mortgage). I don't want to partake in the meaningless rat race. I want something more, but I know that there really is nothing more. Life is an endless abyss with no purpose that we were all born to slave away and die in. I really don't know how anyone with a functioning brain can live in this world and not want to kill themselves.

>What causes people to become neets?
It's Dostoyevsky's Utopia. Everything is provided for, whether by family or state. If you fed a lion 3 meals a day it'd probably stop hunting too. But Humans don't just eat, they need mental and social stimulation. Social media and the internet trick your brain into thinking it has those things, so there's no desire to hunt for them outside.

>i mean no disrespect
There is nothing disrespectful about being curious, thank you for giving people something to post about.

Hard to say in my case, its probably mental illness combined with lack of ambition and feeling like an outcast my entire life, I was always pretty much a ghost throughout my younger years in school, no one spoke to me and I didn't speak to anyone, I was basically a ghost and I kinda grew used to that, too used to it, now I'm a neet for 5 years straight at 23, no friends, no connections, no network, just kinda stuck like this, just looking at job searching websites gives me a mini panic attack, not that I can't do the work, its just the idea of having to go out and interact with people after so many years of being alone kinda terrifies me, which is weird to say since I don't think I have social anxiety, its just that it sounds so exhausting.

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.

Guess what boys?

That's right.

I'm getting out of my THIRD hotel. But this time on my own accord. Boss and coworkers didn't like me anyway and the older workers kept geting pissed off by me and I hated the place so I said I'm leaving, no one tried to stop me or change my mind. I think I'm retarded or something… Never work in hotels if you're ex-NEET/Hikki… I hate dealing with and serving people. I think I'm just destined to live as a parasitic life form, a curse to my family. My whole existence was a cruel joke by the demiurge to bring my parents financial and emotional ruin.

There is no escape for me. I'm doomed. AAAAAAAAAAA

>FLCL just makes me feel like shit
Me too. And I was only 18 then, already sickened by what I imagined myself to have missed out on.

I managed to get by socially attaching a permanent class clown type thing to my face that never came off until high school ended, at which point I burned every last bridge and stopped going outside for many years. All this to say is that I never really felt myself to be myself around people or even around myself, barring maybe very early childhood. It's like I never existed for most of my life.

Well, I managed to "go outside" since all of that but I should say that even being past 30 I still can't convince myself that I am a real person. I have a lot of trouble showing my face in public. Because it basically doesn't exist in a real way and I am ashamed of that. And I'm just as scared of looking into the void as others would be.

Well, all this is for old men anyway. Grieving adolescence is painful for sure though.

Liminal night walks in the winter snow Anonymous 11/22/25 (Sat) 00:17:24 No.10024 [Reply]

Being forever alone is only tolerable if you are a cute girl. There's just something so ethereal about the scenery of a pretty loner woman, trudging around in the snow alone on a winter night, surrounded by bokeh Christmas light decorations. Unfortunately, I was born as a masculine looking moid, so I will shoot myself eventually.

In fact, I don't think moids should exist at all. Autistic moids like me literally serve no purpose.

The connection between my autism and my gender dysphoria is that as an autistic person, I cannot form any close bonds with others, so I can only be in the presence of beauty and femininity if I feminize myself. Imo the lifestyle of a woman is far superior for foreveralone autists, because socialization can be somewhat replaced by having a hobby in self-beautification and exploring a much wider range of personal aesthetic expression, with ornate dresses, skirts, makeup, ribbons, and accessories.

I know how you feel OP but don't shoot yourself, there's an entire life out there for you and there's always better options than just giving up. I am autistic too and it's always hard because social connection doesn't come easy. I did eventually teach myself in the most autistic way possible and it does feel like I am heavily masking at times, but it also allowed me access to people I could truly be myself around. I also get how you feel about being a moid, I am uncomfortable with my masculine traits as well but that's why I am taking slow but steady progress to feel more comfortable in my own body. Giving up should never be an option.

I agree that it's best to treat autism through social/psychological training.

On the other hand, regarding gender dysphoria, "Accepting yourself" and "becoming comfortable" is totally inane and underwhelming BS. I desperately need multiple facial surgeries to eliminate this disgusting masculinity from my face, so i can at least become a more androgynous male.
