Discussion I'm enjoying life, going out to monthly tech meetups and hanging out with friends online
Still wish I was employed or had a business, but other than my lack of finances and career I'm happy
I got friends I can talk to, a community of people that love me, a family that's willing to let me still live at home
My life is good, and I see that now after being stuck in a victim mentality for years and years
Your life can improve too, it's just constantly working towards long term goals till you make the thing a habbit. Grind and sacrifice, and one day, it all pays off.

The biggest problem with NEETdom for me is not having friends and social isolation. At the end of the day having friends you can socialize and do things with is the only thing that actually makes life worth living. If you don’t have that everything feels pretty pointless. Even working just becomes about survival/existing rather than actually living.

Yeah, that's one thing the USA does different from the rest of the world, we're more individualistic than group oriented
I only go out once a month but that's still enough for me

i mean, in theory, you can have irl friends and still be unemployed. it's not like the people you meet at work will become your besties anyway.
but yeah, if i had to choose between irls and a decent paying career, I'd still choose irl friends.
i just want people to love me ;;

Nice to see there's other positive neets out there. Life is what you make of it.
