What does one do as a early to mid 20s NEET loser with no talents, skills, or money?
I know I should get a job but I have no education aside from a high school diploma and I also struggle with social anxiety and I'm probably autistic to a degree.
I live in a big city but somehow it seems like I have trouble finding a job or even places to apply to.
I'd prefer to work a job with little interaction with customers and a job that doesn't involve hard labor but it looks like I might be out of luck.
I'm probably autistic to a degree.
Then use your degree to get a high paying job from a top employer?
Shaking my head my head
If it was me what I would do is remain frozen with fear until I am a mid-30s loser, then the dread can really set in when you consider the reality you have built
get a customer-facing role to accustom yourself with the necessary soft skills to land yourself higher paying roles.
find a local community college and apply for FAFSA or any sort of financial aid and complete basic-level pre-req classes that apply to any degree and focus on your strengths (something that will get you a reasonably paying job)
you won't do any of this, and if you attempt it, you will fail miserably. I don't believe in you
I live in a big city
this means nothing. you still need connections to get a kroger job. after spending 7 years unemployed in the 3rd largest american city i gave up
until I am a mid-30s loser
Thanks for reminding me of my own pathetic existence. Going to vape some shitty weed vape, jack off, watch anime, and play some Pokemon tonight instead of doing something productive because I have just given up on this shitty world and the state of society. Can't muster up the energy to better myself knowing that pussy isn't in the cards nor being able to ever afford rent to move out on my own. There's no fucking point to anything anymore. I just waste away on Anon Babble, old dead forums, IRC, watching YouTube videos via a front end, being a schizo Anon Babble tard, somewhat a weeb, and massive coomer gooner cumbrain. But hey! I'm based though, right?
I mostly just added that part to show how hard it is for me to find a job despite living in such a place.
How'd that happen, man? I actually don't mind being a jobless NEET, or I wouldn't if I didn't have to help out my parents, but the thought of being jobless past my late 20s fills me with a huge sense of dread.
I've worked at 17 different places. So yes, I tried to making something work out when I was a bit younger. Hell, I even had a job last year that lasted about a month until I sperged out with a boxcutter started destroying shit in the store and told all of my coworkers that I wish that they'd get raped by a giant demonic cock and filled with cum until they bursted from all of the damn jizz. I'm fucking crazy and didn't get the world that I was promised as a kid. Everything changed and I just couldn't adapt to the clown/demon world we have today. It's stupid bullshit and people are too blind to how bad things really are versus say, 15-20 years ago. I can't believe I actually see the early 2010s as a fucking decent time now. When at the time I was starting to become nihilistic over it.
Erm...
Are you in prison over that?
No, I walked out and got picked up down the road afterwards by my mom. Haven't been back in there since.
warehouse jobs or stuff like overnight stocking at walmart/target is 0 interaction with customers and the labor really isn't hard if you aren't physically disabled. You'll have to put up with the lowest IQ n's as coworkers, but that's every job in a big city
Guessing this means you don't have a license either or at least a car of your own?
What kind of jobs have you worked at previously and which was the best or least stressful?
Idk, mid-late 20s here with a mother who enables his NEETdom. As I realize how much I hate living, I've scaled down my standards to the point where a comfortable bed and a nice computer & internet connection is really all I desire. There's not much out there I'd be willing to work and struggle for, which doesn't help any prospect of me having a normal life.
To answer your question: idk and I grow more apprehensive every month
No, I don't. I freak out behind the wheel of a car and have been in several accidents when trying while having my permit. I even crashed the car while taking the driver's test once. The least stressful job was a very small grocery store I worked out in the mid 2010s about 15 hours a week. I liked having 3 hour shifts but the store closed down due to not making a lot of money. It was nice because barely anyone ever came in there that late in the evening and I just pretty much helped close the store and cleaned a short time after it closed.
Move to New Mexico and go to college, Albuquerque is big enough
I can't imagine my parents are willing to enable me for much longer. I've been unemployed for almost 2 years and they've been getting on my ass for a long time now. Often times I wonder if maybe what I need is to get kicked to the curb and live life as a homeless person in the hood for a while. Then maybe I'll be forced to toughen up or I'll develop and appreciation for life.
early to mid 20s
Just say your age 22-23-24
Retarded faggot
I actually know someone from Albuquerque online and we know what the other looks like and the possibility that I might run into her, no matter how slight, makes me anxious. We didn't exactly end our friendship on the best terms.
Lick my sweaty hairy balls, BITCH
I'm sorry to hear that, anon. I don't have a license either because I get distracted easily and I would probably panic on highways and busy roads.
I've worked in retail once at a department store and aside from the occasional super obnoxious customers, it wasn't too bad and most of the time it was pretty chill.
I don't think I'd be able to work at a grocery store since most of the ones around my area are busy as hell and I hate human interaction.
I have terrible depth perception as well as well as bad anxiety. I also suffer from PTSD over some bad things that happened including watching family members of mine die when I was a kid and teenager.
I've heard this bullshit before. I felt that way a while back.
You say your parents are enabling you, but they really aren't. Getting a job won't toughen you up. It will just make you weaker and more emotionally vulnerable and low on time to yourself in exchange for money. A job is for money. Boomers have been brainwashed into thinking it's supposed to be your identity or something. This feeling you have that life is awful and not worth it will just get worse. It doesn't matter if you get a job. This way you feel is just the way life is now because you're an adult and your brain is changing slowly into something less stary-eyed and youthful.
You should just get a job, work it for like 6 months to get roughly 4000 dollars, and then quit and hike the Appalachian trail in 2026 or something. You need to realize how ridiculous life is and how poorly adapted human pleasure is to society and technology and why you're so miserable. Because it's not due to your lack of a Walmart job. You've got to figure out your life, and if you're serious about a career, then do something serious like try to get into a trade school and make money climbing cell towers or something.
Like, my guy, you're a man. You have this super high athletic potential and source of infinite pleasure that is your body and you're not going to even look into it? And don't worry about a normal life, idiot. Look around you. Who the fuck is normal AND happy these days? The world is a gloomy mess of phone staring freaks and Walmart logos and politically polarizing ragebait, and nobody is in a good mood.
I'm sorry to hear that. I guess I never really dealt with anything that bad.
I've had some shitty moments but for the most part I've been lucky to not have lost anyone I'm close to or end up physically disabled or something.
Can't imagine how much you've suffered.
I know a job isn't going to toughen me up. I've had jobs before and they've done nothing to help me progress as a person or anything like that.
But you need money to do anything in this world. You need money for food, housing, and travel and if you live with your parents as an adult, even they use you for money and when you stop helping them or pitching in money, they start to become more comfortable with tossing you out on the street.
When I worked a job, on particularly bad days, I would wonder what I was even doing there or what I was doing it for. I could never come up with a reason besides a vague "plan" that I could one day move out or invest it in something.
I just did it because that's all I knew at that point and it offered me some sort of stability and routine.
I'm just telling you that if you don't make a real plan, it's just going to get progressively worse. You're not in school anymore. Nobody is going to make anything happen for you. You feel miserable? You're exactly right to feel that way. The life of the modern day man is no way to live. But nobody is around to help with that problem. Boomers and gen x typically don't understand since they're so brainwashed to the 9-5.
I understand that.
I just have no idea where I'm even supposed to start and getting a job seems as good a first step as any. At least I'll be able to save up a little bit
Have you tried doing AI prompt training? I know AI personally to me is icky, but there's plenty of online jobs for training AIs. Think of it as community pet training for computers. Try getting something work from home, and even if it's just a little bit of work, a couple days a week, you're making progress. Since you've got the time and space, tell your parents you're applying for stuff like this and maybe ask for a Brillant or Skillshare subscription to learn something you can apply. You can even find a good Youtube channel for the latter half. You can learn. Not all knowledge that you've learned stays relevant in your head forever, and neither does day-to-day self. Work around your deeper self and acknowledge there are some things that you might not be able to change, but there are also things about yourself or even just what you think and do that you can change, if even for a moment. Dust off your shoulders, you have a life to live. Save this message so you can read it every time you get discouraged. Why don't you journal a little bit? I use mine to date when I've gathered insight and what I was thinking around that day/time. It'll help you organize what you're thinking and feeling, even if you only write down scraps here and there. It'll help get some stuff off your chest and give you the mental space to think about something you want to think about, preferably where you begin your next mission or quest but sometimes it's good to ruminate and think out that chain of thoughts until you organize them. Not all of your conclusions will lead to good things, so keep that in mind. Even if you have your best foot forward, things can and will still go wrong, but keep at it. Your effort will be rewarded, even if no one else validates you for it you can always be your own validator. Even reading this is progress because it gets you thinking. Gather that stimuli, experience, and knowledge, and apply it or write it down. Good luck.
Oh and enjoy Fate/Stay Night, you fucking weeb. Get out there and accomplish some shit before you're forced into a situation where you can't choose anymore. EMIYA fucking out.
t. Your future self
Collect cans to get money, then start doing porn with homeless women(pay them with the can money), post to only fans to make more money. Problem solved.
no talents, skills, or money
this is the point of being a child, then teenager, then mid 20's.
The mass media starting with radio and printed press has ruined the humans. Being one in a billion snowflake, that is heavily autistic or dies in a ditch because of depression and drug abuse is NOT the societal norm.
Nobody is meant to be multi bil. massive cock handsome player doing whatever. In fact people like this do not and have never existed.
Nobody is perfect and everybody is worthless.
Good news are you have time. You have time to learn work skills and to earn money. It will help you be so much more content with life, if you will be certain about your immediate future. If you'll know that will work the next year or will be just fine without work but with money you've previously earned and you'll enjoy the year, then that mindset makes all the fucking difference in the world.
Try to get a job you want, but don't expect doing it from the start. In fact, I'd recommend starting with trades. Usually simple guys, with a ton of actual life experience, that will teach you a lot about life and work. Just don't destroy your life and health because of a job.
I don't a PC at the moment so I'm not sure if AI training is in the cards for me at the moment.
Thanks for the suggestion though.
You're welcome.
This is an original ment
Tuition-free college for new Mexicans
How new do they have to be?
be autistic with social anxiety
get shitty retail job in early twenties
make some friends with co-workers but get treated horribly and sometimes verbally abused by customers
want mankind to die over this hellish experience
become neet until thirties
yeah bro i'd recommend not doing that
Well, must of us don't really have the luxury to not work for too long
What else could I possibly do?
If you're a mid 20s NEET, you're fucked.
If you're an autist, you're ten times fucked for employability in this hellish service economy.
For me, it's far better to rot as a NEET, than sperge out in public every fucking day until the inevitable firing, and the process repeating.
I think I was able to mildly fake a sense of normality to the customers of my previous job, enough to where they could tell me what they needed and I could explain things to them.
Do you at least have any job recommendations?
If I'm driving and turn out too soon in front of an oncoming car and they blare their horn at me, I get depressed and emotionally frazzled for the rest of the day. I don't think I could survive even a week at a job involving customer interaction.
Night shift security guard or night shift grocery stocking. If you do the former you can usually play games or watch shows on a tablet and just make your rounds once in awhile. The latter might seem worse but it's usually easier to get and you can also do drugs while working it if that's your thing, just ask your manager if you can work freezers since there will be less interaction with co-workers and most night shift retail managers will also let you wear a hoodie and beanie if working freezer section.
