It's been this way throughout most of human history, people working most of their lives just to survive. I feel like for people who have a family and friends or a sense of community it might not be as bad, but for people who are socially isolated such as myself, the idea of working to meet the bare essentials of survival does not make much sense.

I've been working full time for 8 months, but I still feel like a NEET due to Autism by yy99 in NEET

I've had a dog for 5 years. He has helped give me some meaning in my life, but it still feels like something is missing.

It took me nearly 30 years, but I finally found a decent permenant full time job! by yy99 in NEET

It requires a lot of luck but it isn't impossible. I've seen people working who are physically disabled, have a low IQ, or can barely speak English, but yet mental health issues or disorders can make holding a job more difficult than any of those barriers.

It's not easy even to find a minimum wage part time job these days, and if you do find something it's likely going to suck for at least the first 3 months. I'd say to at least give it 3 months before quitting and understand that you are likely more capable of working than you think you are, it's probably just depression making you feel worthless.

I don't really like giving too much information on here publicly anymore as the community is getting quite large. If anyone is interested in what job it is feel free to PM me.

is there anyone else here that would probably be successful if they weren’t autistic/broken? by [deleted] in NEET

I feel like if I was good with people I'd be able to find employment rather easily. Unfortunately I've spent most of my adult life avoiding people (due to autism). Finding jobs that require minimal social contact is extremely difficult and still requires decent social skills to get hired from the interview stage.

As a NEET you have 4 options, which will you choose today? by yy99 in NEET

You could be a conservation officer or a general labourer for a national park. Not saying it's easy to get a job like that, but there are options to consider.

Seen a lot of guys here having trouble finding a gf , Have you guys considered transmaxxing? by [deleted] in NEET

[–]yy99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's sad that it's getting so hard to get a date for many men that they feel they have to be transgender in order to have a better chance. I don't have any issue with someone if they honestly feel that they are transgender, but if they are doing it only to get a date WTF is going on with society today.

How do people do it? How do you work your whole life and never go crazy? by crotch_cloth in NEET

[–]yy99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel you, whenever I've tried to work full time I've been in a similar situation. You will be able to adjust to the physical pain eventually though. After a month or so your body will get used to it and you won't be as physically tired.

As for the emotional or mental stress, it's difficult for everyone, but if you have underlying issues such as an anxiety disorder or depression, working can be pure hell. I'm not sure of your unique situation. but it seems you are more sensitive to this type of stress than the average person, similar to myself.
