I still consider myself an otaku, but I'm not a NEET anymore. I reached the point where I was so uncomfortable with sitting alone in my room that I started forcing myself to learn a new skill that I could use to make some money and applied for a part-time data entry job so I could make even more money on the side.

Ironically, because of this I don't have to leave the house, and now I can afford all of the vintage anime merch I used to wish I could afford. With the remaining time in my day, I am learning Japanese so I can better enjoy what I have.

It's a lot easier to take it easy now, I have to admit. Easier than I would have expected before when I was a post-college NEET.

I was only a neet for a short time, and that was after I had put years into being an otaku already.
I have a 6 figure WFH now, more otaku than ever.
I think many get tired of this hobby eventually as something that only involves looking at things on a computer screen. At that point, one reaches a decision. I think many lose interest at that point. Or, you go for dolls.

Work at home jobs still require you to do a (phone) job interview, which is the hardest part of getting a job when you have no social skills.
Face it, if you get a job working at Burger King or wherever, you are basically just repeating the same lines over and over again which requires no social grace at all. Your best bet is to apply for every minimum wage job out there and hope you get hired simply due to the fact everyone else turned down the offer.

Past year or so I've improved my mental health or whatever a SHITLOAD.. basically started focusing on it once i turned 30. I'm happier then forever and for the first time I totally don't give a shit about women/validation of women... which is in a way bad because it makes me care even less to betabuxxx to have a successful family and all that jazz....

Sadly my mom is broke and its an apartment and the landlord just raised our rent for the first time in awhile (shes been here since i was born) so her and the landlord and his keepers are bitching about me not ever pulling weight etc...

On the other side my dad who is seperated from her (but still legally married) has his house from his grandmother... he lived with his mom his whole life too but luckily in a real home LOL... i think he bought it off her though like 10 years ago since he has many sisters/brothers etc.

What is life insurance exactly?? or if shes broke there is no point in getting into that... She tells me all her money is in banks in my name or both jointed so maybe that will help when the government tries to take her money when she dies idk

>>40439755
NEETdom is a double-edged sword that wedges itself deeper the longer you go, and it becomes harder to pull it out the older you get. Eventually your youth flies you by, and you're still hanging around at home finding ways to pass the days. The lack of meaningful connections is the worst part, because you don't really have anyone to lean on or share things with and this becomes harder to do as you get older. You become more withdrawn and unsociable, and if you're really up there the generational gap makes it hard to make friends even online because people act so differently than they used to.

I lost my last good friend a while ago and it's hard to keep going. I miss them.

Nah, they were the last person I really kept in touch with. Of course, it's easy to make friends, especially nowadays, but it's an odd thing to describe. Almost like a social apathy in that you lose interest in really trying past a point even though you still long for it.

I think it's because past a certain point most people move on with their lives. One guy I knew even became a doctor. It sort of incurs a left-behind-type feeling where people are making progress in their lives while you're doing the same things you did 10 years ago. I'd always wondered how most hikkiNBEETs dealt with it, it's by far the worst part I'd say. Even if you bide your time with hobbies and stuff, past a certain point even those can begin to devolve into tedium.

I never understood why people like you just dont commit die if you are so subscribed to that mindset. Suicide is logical, straight-to-the-point, and if you know what you're doing, very few variables can be considered out of your control, unlike IRL.

Yes, there are unfortunate individuals who, no matter how hard they try, will always have the short end of the stick. Take a fraction of the entire human population, for example.

Nearly 35 here. Had my first job 5 years, but had to quit to take care of a paralyzed family member. I haven't driven a car in nearly 20 years (commuted to my job when I had it), nor do I recall how to drive at all. The neetlife is absolute dogshit that gets worse the older you get. I can't go anywhere or do anything, and I have no money.
Shit is hitting the fan to where I have to move out from my family to an apartment in roughly a year and I can't even do work from home because of that. A majority of the shit offering work from home that I have found requires constant phone usage. Shit gets fucking loud around my house so that's a no, not that most of it pays well enough to afford an apartment anyways.
I can't even register as a legal caretaker of my relative, which I have been doing to the extent where even doctors say "damn, you do better than the people we hire." and that is painful to hear every time. This is due to some legal fuckery which is absolute bullshit. There's some IRL bullshit involving my family and I, but they'll be able to get hired help for my relative, so even if I die in a ditch, I know things will be alright for them and that's probably the only thing I can take solace in.

Oops, meant to say 5 years ago. It wasn't great, or even good, but it was a tough learning experience way harder and more busy than your typical first job which pretty much prepared me for damn near anything. Hell, I didn't even get breaks, not for lunch nor even restroom breaks (basically I had to setup things, rush to piss and/or shit, then rush back before anything happens). The worst part was learning that as soon as I left, the place got both a new upgraded, comfier office for my position AND the position got a noteworthy raise in salary.

It's never really "too late"
It's just the older you are, the more diminishing your returns will be. Also, somethings will effectively be barred from you permanently, like have any chance of courting 18-19 year olds without being seen as some sort of predator or becoming a paypig.

Also, around 30 is where your body really starts to decline physically and mentally. You would need to be strictly disciplined to counteract most not all of the effects of aging at that point.

>> No.40498440

>>40498233
That, but also the amount of "catching up" you have to do grows by the year. Even in your early 20s there's a lot of stuff a former hikki needs to learn. There's stuff you would anticipate, like whatever is trendy, but also stuff about driving, having a job, relationships, staying healthy, having friends, and so on. To normal people this is all second nature, so as soon as you let it slip that you don't know something obvious about these, they're gonna realize you're kinda weird.

And the truth is there's no escaping it. Sooner or later they're gonna find out you're weird. The only solution is to find a circle of people that will accept that about you. I remember in college, I tried to make new friends, but the thing about "normalfags" is they genuinely don't want to be around people like you. So as soon as it became clear I was kind of awkward they just stopped hanging out with me.

The upside here is that normalfags generally aren't very good company anyway. They're the reason the term "fake friends" exists - a lot of them are phony. By comparison, loners or nerds have a lot of flaws, but are generally more genuine and less superficial. I'm not saying that applies to all normalfags also, just that there's a lot of those people out there. Lots of "friend collectors". If you've met one you'll know what I mean. Much better to hang out with other nerds IMO. They'll judge you way less too

>>40498985
I think it's because friendship stops mattering to middle age people, most notably the normalfags. That's the point where they become desperate to attach themselves to a 3DPD, to keep the existential crisis that's brewing in the recesses of their minds at bay. They will literally sacrifice anything and everything to acquire a fleshpig - their friends, their hobbies, their personalities.
I've seen it happen too many times. Selfish, cowardly dogs.
And I mean, I would understand if we were talking about their companion being the love of their life, and they had a wonderful family together and they didn't want anything else - but it's simply not true. In the real world it is cringe-inducing how dysfunctional most of these pairings are, and how miserable their lives are. They are together literally only because they afraid of looking in the mirror and facing the hard facts of life.
Anyway, very few will have resources to dedicate to friendships and weird activities after that. Those things will always come second. I think this is why it becomes so difficult making friends after a certain age. With youth this is not the case as they are open minded, spontaneous and generally still have a certain curiosity and lust for life.

Covid was a good excuse to try neetdom for a while. After leaving college for a while and losing a side job I indulged in non stop anime and VN reading 24/7, while keep telling my parents that I was still studying. But I can't outrun time, even though the coof didn't affect me or my family, they are getting older.

Last time when I was cleaning the house I found a photo album, it was interesting to see how innocent I was back then, I always wished I could go back in time and do everything right. But the realization that hit me the most was seeing how my parents look 2 decades ago. It is difficult for people to notice gradual changes on other ones when you spend time with them too often, but seeing them so young and full of life made me depressed. Mother aged pretty well but my father's head is full of gray hairs now, he is always healthy and a strong man but he's almost 70 now, he won't be able to carry his duties in the next 5 years, I might break crying when I see him start using a walking stick.

True. As long as you're dedicated to otaku interests being employed doesn't instantly invalidate you. Having a job just means you're not hikki/NEET. It only creeps into normalfag territory once you willingly push yourself into that social sphere.

What's been set in stone for millennia? I'm not sure if you are just pretending to be retarded or whatever but in case you haven't noticed, there's been some major social shifts which happened around the world in the last 10-20-30 years respectively which are influencing the drop out phenomena.

Defining yourself entirely negatively, always choosing to do exactly the opposite of what is normal, is not freedom or individuality. That would be living a life that could not even be conceived of apart from the normal. That is not independent living, just anti or reverse normal living. That's living as blind and dependent as a normalfag. Living freely means accepting what is normal insofar as it is good for you and rejecting it insofar as it is not.

>>40563319
When I say negative I mean it in the sense of negation. When someone is living without freedom in an "anti-normal" lifestyle, the answer to the question of "who am I" is "not a normalfag" and the answer to the question of "what should I be doing" is "whatever the normalfags don't want me to." You can see how this kind of lifestyle isn't possible without the presence of normalfags. This person's identity is entirely founded in what a normalfag is, there is no genuine autonomy. The person living freely sees that there are some good things about what is considered normal, and some very bad things, and accepts what is good for them and rejects what isn't.

Nowadays I only initiate talk purely for business matters pertaining to work but when someone tries to ask me questions in an effort to start a conversation, or if they're telling me about something, I am usually just completely numb and can only formulate the most basic of replies just to let the other person know I'm listening.

Where concepts of the self and the physical body that normalfags hold so near and dear start to vanish. That's what being anon is all about - It's the inner light. Not a face, a name, a job title or other superficial bullshit. I honestly believe that the way of anon is one of the paths to enlightenment.

Same. Thought this shit would be over by the time I finished high school. I was too poor to afford figurines and my parents were strict so going to anime conventions wasn’t a walk in the park.

Fast forward to college and I became a pre-professional career and frat star gettin with thots left n right, so I had to hide my true weebdom and get into PUA. Fast forward to a health profession school and obviously I didn’t have time but I still somehow managed to stay afloat.

Fast forward to post profession school program and now I had some extra money to splurg on a shit ton of anime figurines, volks super dollfie, smartdolls, nendoroids, and anime art books. My new gf is less of a weeb but I am now more financially superior and have even more power too.

Fast forward to present day as a working as a health professional and I am even more of a demi-god. While I have broadened my interests and hobbies, anime and being an Otaku in general has always played a key part in my lifestyle. I now own several cars, I drive a bmw x6 for daily, GTR for the track, and a manual transmission mustang GT all with anime peeking stickers for weekend fun. I ultimately flex my massive 450k/year income. I fly to major cons like AX and otakon, etc., sometimes drive my weekenders. I buy whatever cosplays I want and buy a shit ton of expensive Volks, nendoroids, figurines, statues, art books, gear, merch, etc. pre Covid I went to Japan probably twice a year too. I do this all while wearing designer clothes and mix in a little weeb shirts like wearing a low-key shimakaze shirt under a denim overshirt, black pants, and shoes by either dior or balenciaga.

My friends and family esp parents thought I was going through a phase but naaahh cuzz I just kept everything bottled up inside. Kids and marriage may be on the way in the future so the sad part is this may take another pause but I’m glad to have lived it while I could. A career is just a means to an end and all a performance. I’m just glad I had the social skills and mental aptitude to keep on this persona while maintaining stable-ish relationships and avoiding toxic workplace drama and snakes at work.

Just hikikomori, I'm disgusted with NEET's
Though yeah, I don't have a job (yet, but once I will learn how to code shit, who knows? I'll work from home)

are you actually in school? working from home isn't handed out so easily like that, i've heard from many places usually you work in office before being given permission to work at home though that may be area dependent

No, I graduated year before the coof
How about freelancer shit? I would just talk with people online, and send my work to them never even seeing them in person
kinda wish I could draw though, being a hentai artist must bring a lot of money

Hold on I have to reattach Mirai’s arms for a photoshoot before going to work saving peoples lives and stuff. Life’s tough but you should try excelling at things from time to time instead of being jealous ;)

freelancer isn't the same as formal employment
though if it's for coding, you'll be competing with a lot of people who would work for pennies
being a porn artist is the same problem, those furries that get paid grand only get paid because they know someone who knows someone who promotes them
otherwise it's people asking for diaper shitting giantess full color full body for $5
should probably think about this more
