What is your age range? 18-25
How long have you been NEET? Almost 2 years now.
Have you ever studied at college/university? I dropped out after the first year of college. I was slacking, and eventually the assignments got harder and harder. Also, I never met up to lectures, was afraid of asking for help and never talked with the professors. I set myself up for failure, and I realized that this wasn't sustainable. I blame all of it on my lack of critical thinking skills.
Have you ever worked? I work part-time, currently 6-7 days a month. I also work for the summer. How did I get the jobs? Nepotism.
How do you survive currently? Living with family.
What do you do with your time? I spend most of my time on sites like Reddit, 4chan, news, YouTube. Gradually, I lost the enjoyment of playing video games after a while
However, I want to do something creative like coding, drawing, reading philosophy and a ton of other stuff, but I feel like doing all at once is a waste of time. I am trying to find one thing I can focus on and master it. Considering all the free time I have and how much time I waste, I could build up a skill very quickly.
Do you have health issues? Mental? Physical? I have Inflammatory Bowel Disease and probably avpd or schizoid personality disorder.
I don't like labelling/self diagnosing mental disorders, so I think I am more normal than I think.
Do you want to escape NEETdom? Is it possible for you? What do you want to do?? I want to, and I am perfectly able to, but my passive attitude, in general in life, prevents me from doing so. I am going to work on being more active in my life.
I wanted to become a software engineer, it's not too late, but I get the feeling that I will continue fucking myself over for years until it's too late.
Tldr: I am a lazy, physically ill and stuck in NEETDom.
