I got so bored of the net that I thought, I'll quit 4chan, youtube, any western entertainment site and just lurk 5ch for fun (I came here for the 5ch thread). Surprisingly it is better. It's like western net from 15 years ago when people just spoke their thoughts without a billion layers of irony.

Anyway it is super nice. If you are a NEET, stop going on these ReddiTwitch4chaYoutuTwitteHub and just isolate, only use the net if you have a reason to or you're ultra bored. I use it to look up recipes :)

[Anonymous No.]

Maladaptive daydreaming + NEETdom has to be the ultimate lazy NEET experience. Doing nothing but laying in bed all day, daydreaming and sometimes playing music to fuel the imagination. Never feeling bored or lonely because you can just daydream and immediately warp somewhere more interesting with tons of people. The only downside is if you want to do something in real life, you'll be too lazy and end up imagining yourself doing it instead.

Surprised anyone can be a NEET with the internet as bad as it is these days. I partly credit that for one of the reasons I'm actively getting out of it after like 16 years. It's just awful. Imageboards are complete cesspits these days, it's kind of sad but I could also just be getting old. I still mostly enjoy things from over a decade ago.
>>44070689
Anon, unless you have shit on your trousers or are making noises, I can guarantee no one is looking at you. No one cares, why would they? Do you stare and judge everyone you meet? And even on the off chance you meet some weirdo who looks at you, they'll forget in a few hours, if not immediately. Who gives a shit, you have every right to live your life just as they do. Also people staring at you doesn't mean they're judging you either.

Before I had mental health issues I was like an NPC.
Life back then came together so naturally that you never really had to think, all of it just fell into place. But once you have brain problems suddenly nothing fits into place anymore, like a jigsaw puzzle where none of the pieces match. So everyone se got a normal set of pieces but you. And now instead of solving the puzzle and having fun like everyone else, all you can do is think about why your pieces are fucked up, how could you fix them, is there an alternate way to use the pieces that still lets you have fun...? In the end it's a wash. If only you had been normal.

i think that fundamentally, unless you're given enough space and help to come out of it, going through trauma and mental illness will leave you with neuroses and anxieties that you can't get rid of, not because they're hard to get rid of, but because they will push you into a routine where it's hard to meet or talk to anyone who could help you get rid of them. it's difficult to describe how much more closed and self-aware i am due to my compounding social anxiety compared to the me from like 3-4 years ago. living normally feels impossible now, i always have a voice in the back of my head telling me others are dangerous

The net is pretty much as good as dead IMO. Unless you can get into some private community, it's a wasteland. I am a youngfag too so it's not just you getting old.

What I miss was that sense of community. Newfags don't get this but /v/ and /a/ used to be cool niche communities bonding over amazing games/shows you never heard of, and you just wanted to be accepted by them and talk about cool obscure shit. Now people cringe at the idea of community and it ruins the whole thing.

I sometimes feel like the very idea of online community itself is disappearing. Maybe it's just me

i'm finding it difficult to decide what to do right now. my family is pushing me to finish my degree, but i hate it. for one, i'm required to do group projects for my degree, which has always ended up in me being alone and either unable to do anything or ending up extremely embarassed and with a half-assed presentation due to not having anyone to help me. secondly, my social anxiety has been skyrocketing to the point where i've been struggling to even go to college at all because i don't want to feel the gazes on me or feel like i'm being ignored. i've alienated everyone in my group from me by acting asocial and never talking to anyone. i also have to live in a dorm room with someone else, which only compounds the constant discomfort i feel when going to college, i barely managed to endure a year of this and i feel that my mental capacity is drained.
on the other hand, if i drop out, i'm wasting a year of my life, potentally destroy my job prospects, and have to face the fallout of my family being pissed at me. i feel like i'm stuck in a situation with no right answer. either i grind my feelings and force myself to endure for the sake of the time i sunk into my degree, or i have to face all my relatives and accept that i lost a year pursuing something pointless. i wish i could just turn off my brain and dull my feelings to the point where i don't feel any pressure

You sound young, so you should know that your 20s last an eternity and you still have room in your 30s. You could do a complete 180 in what you pursue. You could even do two. I went to university with plenty of guys in their 40s even. You're your own man, you can't let your parents expectations control you. I will say though, anon, it sounds like you're going through a really horrible time and I hope you get some help with it. Just say that shit you said right here and see what works for you, you're not beholden to any treatment or plan. There's no point NOT making an attempt at getting help. In my country universities tend to offer this shit, or maybe a doctor. Especially with getting some deadlines extended, or some help with projects - subtly, too, not obviously. Anyway anon, I just want to tell you, as fucking irritating as I feel saying it, tha things can change. Took me like two attempts to get through uni, I frequently ended up running to the toilet having panic attacks and wanted to die every single day. Now I'm a pretty happy and confident guy and I believe you can be too. You got this bud, whichever way you go.

it's in a different city, which is not too far away, but 1.5 hours by a train that runs only 3-4 times a day doesn't let me effectively commute very well since i have to be there 4-5 times a week. i'd like to find some work so i don't have to live in a dorm, but soul-draining wage labour doesn't sound like a great way to improve my mental health
>>44079287
i understand what you're saying, but at the same time, i don't think my parents would give me the space i need if i decided to drop out, they're hostile for no reason as is because i don't want to work during vacation. the only way i'll be able to fix myself is probably through achieving financial independence and gaining some sense of control over my life, but it's difficult when i don't want to talk to anyone in the first place. i do feel a bit better after talking to you anon, i'll try to look into whether my college offers a therapist

It's definitively not just you, the entire internet got corporatized and gentrified, the sense of online community is dead or dying across the entire internet depending on where you look.
If in the past it felt like a bunch of people coming together in someone's basement but in a digital space, a communal activity that nonetheless was about people sharing a hobby sharing a connection through it, then the modern internet is like a starbucks, a place where you're with other people but still have your public face up, there's no connection to anyone, it's just yet another public place.
Thankfully it does seem to be limited to EOP communities for now, JP ones still feel like the old internet.
I wonder if it's a cultural thing.

[Anonymous No.]

>>44082880
Good it's not just me. I even tried to find communities on discord but each time they either get 1-2 posts a day or 90%+ of posts are 14 year olds dumping memes and talking about their lunch.

Probably it's because communities used to be pretty hard to find. Once you found your first good IRC room/forum you usually stayed there for years and posted almost every day. It was like an IRL social circle but online. You had that one retard in the group you hated but that was almost part of the charm, you were stuck together. But now this whole online public community thing is dying. And even the private groups I've been in lately are just reposting stuff from 4chan/Twitter/YouTube algorithm recs. So I just stopped looking. Now /jp/ and 5ch are all I use basically

[Anonymous No.]

>>44079129
Maybe 4chan was better in the past but I'm sure it was still a far cry from actual socialization. I've used many imageboards over the years including very insular, close-knit ones (/jp/ and /a/ themed in fact!), and even with their highly focused interests an aura of coldness still persisted. People are quick to forget that they're conversing with other real humans, and anons as a set of internet users are very tribalistic and meek in a negative way. Perhaps its more pronounced for me since I'm not someone who subscribes to imageboard rules and hierarchies which people get angry at.

I don't really know what the solution is. Not everyone can easily move into real life for socialization, and even when I've socialized with past friends I still frequented imageboards. I feel like it would take a great shift in the collective consciousness of anons for things to get better.

[Anonymous No.]

>>44083695
I guarantee you it was better in the past, especially in otaku or otaku-adjacent communities.
You can very easily point at the reasons for the change too, they boil down to normalfags colonizing and destroying every single community they step into due to their inability of simply letting other people do their own thing in peace.
In anime communities at large, /a/ included, it was thanks to CR and other pushes to make anime mainstream, not because they gave a fuck about anime, but because they saw there was money to be made off selling people edited MTL at best or literal fanfics at worst.

Ask 10 different people and you will get 10 different answers on where it started, but one of the first big tipping points was definitively gurren lagann and death note bringing in the first wave of MANime newfags that would then go back and watch stuff like bebop to pretend they were always here.
Then the normalfags would continue gathering around shows like spice and wolf, code geass, toradora, and so on, but the big next tipping point wouldn't come until madoka and SAO shortly after.
Up until that point these communities were still salvageable, but that was the final nail in the coffin.
With madoka came in droves the kind of people that don't care about media as an experience, but only care about it as a badge of honor to fit in with a community, a badge to brag how good their taste is, an attitude that would get doubled down on with SAO starting the career of multiple "your favorite anime is trash" ecelebs, and it was only downhill from there.

The end result was borderline obvious.
People that actually do give a shit not only get thrown in a corner away from all the normalfags, they also have mental defenses up at all times because any opening interaction with another "anime fan" is no longer talking about stuff, but "x is shit, here's why", so they come off as cold and aloof at best, which also results in actual hostility at worst, because if you don't defend what you like then you get run over.
Normalfags and ironic weebs get insulated in a bubble of what they consider "good" while shunning basically everything else as a status symbol, which also results in tribalism everywhere to try drive them away because any attempts at talking about anything will get bulldozed by "akshually that's garbage, get better taste like me".
And the people in the middle that would have become hardcore fans just end up disconnected from any community because of the constant negativity everywhere.
Then /jp/ itself got hit by vtubers and hell broke loose, which had even worse repercussions in any other anime community because it was no longer even about any specific piece of media anymore, it was literally e-girl streaming.
By now /jp/ is healing from the chemotherapy, but even this place isn't the same anymore, even in the more calm generals you still get to see people twitchy and defensive because the rest of the EOP internet has been constant hostility 24/7 for over a decade.

TLDR: Look at the filename, the normalfaggot necessity of using literally everything as a status symbol to feel superior to someone else, yet paradoxically wanting to be acknowledged by the same people they are looking down on is a plague that erodes and destroys everything they touch.
Find solace with the fact the language barrier is a thing, otherwise JP media would have gotten infiltrated and destroyed like western media, instead the best they can do is ruin localizations for other ironic weebs, because everyone that cares already knows japanese or is learning it.

That's how lain, kissu, etc. feel to me
I was only thinking of 4chan boards of auld like late 00s /a/ & /v/, and boards like /mu/ or /tv/ pre 2015. Even boards that have no clear reason to become shitty like /trv/ did (Even before bat flu it was getting a lot worse from 2017 on), lots more off-topic, racism, memes and far fewer people who actually travel.

Really, it's a big issue. Most people are just clinging to friends they made back in school. If they suddenly moved towns and had to start over, almost everyone would be at a loss. Whenever I read books from 100-200 years ago it's surprising how much more communal life was. Now no one even knows their neighbor's name. Is it a surprise people latched onto the net so hard?

Try forums, they are still around, just very hard to find now that search engines no longer recommend them (they only recommend ads now). I even run my own (albeit fairly dead) forum, where me an 1-2 other people post on occasion.

At a broader level, there are still close-knit communities, they are just no longer visible through the front door of the internet (web search engines). Search engines now will never show you results for forums and the like, they only serve up ads. People can still find and cultivate these communities though; the ones that do find them are often tech people since they regularly use the back door of the internet (alternative protocols like XMPP and Matrix, alternative search engines, networks of blogs). The most popular piece of forum software is currently powering over 36,000 forums.

>I even tried to find communities on discord but each time they either get 1-2 posts a day
There is a solution to this. Many small communities and forums will be slow, but there are standards like RSS that you can use to aggregate many forums posts into a single piece of client software. If you aggregate the posts, you wont have to constantly check on various small communities, reducing the hurdles to joining communities.

The trouble is that unless you're a tech hobbyist, these circles are usually neutered and mild, entry level type stuff that guys like us gravitated toward here in the first place to escape. So you see how for instance the audiophile community has a pretty robust presence on forums in 2023 because they are tech-adjacent.

I would kill for something that good for all my hobbies, but the people really aren't there. Have you seen any circles built around 19th century literature? I looked, they don't exist. You really have to be some kinda cult figure like an e-celeb to convince people to read books, because otherwise they'll never do it.

My theory is that technical communities in the present day still thrive on forums because the topics are technical in nature and when searching on search engines people interested in these hobbies have very specific keywords that are ignored by SEO companies. In your audiophile example, probably a lot of audiophiles have typed a query before about a specific model of hardware they need that is largely ignored by the vast majority of the web but discussed frequently on a forum. Non technical topics tend to more general queries that get gamed by SEO so the communities get hidden.

>I would kill for something that good for all my hobbies, but the people really aren't there. Have you seen any circles built around 19th century literature? I looked, they don't exist.
I'll look for a 19th century literature community tomorrow using some of my tools, see if I can find one. You want me to make a board on my forum for 19th century literature?

There is also a wikibook page for 19th century literature (https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/19th_Century_Literature)), if you go through the edit history you can try reaching out to some of the editors of that page and see if any of them know of an online 19th century literature community.

Oh hey, It's greatly reassuring knowing I'm not the only one feeling isolated and alienated with how the common concept of online communities have seemingly died.
I've ended up mostly leaving the web, only to look up utilitarian needs and keeping track of the current events of my hobbies and related.

Now I'm left with what seems truckloads of time which I'm still coming to the conclusion on how to best invest it. The lack of vicarious or parasocial sources I used to fill that primal need for social interaction is proving to be the most concerning issue for me at the moment.

Did you guys ever stalk people online who you really liked, related to, or saw as more unfortunate than even yourself. I used to this in my early years of NEETdom when I felt I could not relate to anyone but a selct few. Lacking any social graces, I would just keep tabs on them from afar, never interacting with them.

I wouldn't call it stalking, but I used to often look up my elementary school friend. Frankly, I still do it from time to time just to see how he's doing and where he's heading. Turns out it can be quiet easy to find someone online and see what they're up to when you use the same username everywhere or link your other accounts together. It's a bit saddening when I see where he is going, but I can't do anything about it nor have I any interest in dabbeling in the lifes of others and telling them what to do and what not to do. I've seen him go from a programmer to a furry, turning into some feminine dude, to then using pronouns, eventually turning fully gay and then finding a boyfriend. I can imagine where he might go to next or where he might even go after that. I can't help, but wonder how he or I would have turned out had we somehow stayed more closely in contact.

Considering all the years that have past since seeing or talking to one another the last time it might be time to let him go.

being a degen gay or transexual or whatever doesn't bring true happiness, its living in a delusion at best and escapism that will end horribly bad at worst
but besides that, people have a responsibility to act virtuously not just chasing things that fulfill their desire for pleasure. that kind of "happiness" is selfish and not commendable.

I think it might be because you're able to talk about things that are more "fringe" for this boards topic. You're normally not able to talk about your personal life in, let's say, any Touhou thread as they are focused on, well, Touhou. I know how shitty it is to want to talk to fellow NEETs but then a bunch of non-NEETs or "NEETs" come in and then just talk about job related things. I think many /jp/ies just want someone to talk to about non-Otaku related things from time to time. Add that to perhaps some newcomers or nostalgic former NEETs and you get the arrangement you have in here.

gonna blow your mind but that's how the website as a whole used to be before the 10s, it felt like a close community of friends or at least acquaintances that just so happened to be anon, you could talk about whatever in any thread and as long as you kept it reasonable without derailing too badly, nobody minded, the entire point of direct replies is helping not lose track of conversations after all
nowadays after the normalfag gentrification of the website everyone acts like strangers to each other, even on communities that are supposed to be close like discords, they just move around covered on layers of irony instead, no sincerity whatsoever because they know any emotional weakness or familiarity can and will get used as ammo against them in some petty normalfag argument

I can see that some (or more) normalfag behaviour has infected the mind of some (or more) anons on this whole site, I also saw how much that grew in the last few years. /jp/ seems to be one of the last boards where the majority of anons aren't as narrow minded or fall into a form of black and white mindset as on other boards. Which is quiet a shame as even anons on this site seem to start fighting over the smallest of things that don't fit them and then just break this community of what should have been a well knitted group of personalities. Now it often times just dissolves into a form of cliques.

I have been a neet for like 5 years. before that I had a decent job, managed to save up lots of emone as I only got a job because people told me I had to, but never really gave a fuck about material goods apart of having a place to sleep and a decent PC.
I quit my job because I hate normalniggers and I was miserable. Now I'm running out of money but I noticed I still hate life even as a carefree neet.

What the fuck do I do
I could blow my brains out but I'm afraid sky daddy will punish me for doing so.

sorry anon, but your clock is ticking. if you're naive and went to a prestigious university like myself you probably had advisors repeatedly tell you "you have plenty of time to decide what you want to do" before ripping the rug out from under you in your junior year saying "it's too late to change your major because you have too many credits"
the only way you can break the stalemate of not knowing what to do is to try as many things as you can. they can be hobbies or "productive" things like learning to code or volunteering at a hospital. use your elective slots if you have to.
because if you graduate with a degree you don't want and have a change of heart, and also happen to live in a place like burgerland, you will not receive financial aid for your second try at education. it is for that reason I have to pay tuition now through the nose from money saved up from covid and my previous job. if I dropped out and still counted as an undergrad upon my return, I could be going for free or nearly free right now given my current NEET status

I miss peak NEET life. During the pandemic I had the kind of time that wasn't money and I couldn't be happier. I had no bills, nobody expected anything of me, I just ran and played tabletop roleplaying games, learned pixel art. Plus the house was in a beautiful location. I could have really used another year or two of that.

But I also accept that things change and now I gotta work a job that won't pay me good unless I start robbing registers. The point is... I miss not having to worry about money. There's not a lot that I really want to do with a lot of it even?

If I work I have no time left for myself.
Im a very slow person so I take a long time for things like eating and I need about 10 hours of sleep a night.
When im working im just going to bed straight after work and when I wake up I only have a few hours before its back to work.
This is hell I can feel my life being wasted my years slowly ticking away.
People on disability or who can afford to be a Neet for some other reason often dont appreciate how good they have it not having to do anything
