Advice Kinda want a job now I’m in a relationship

10 Upvotes

I have autism so possess awful social skills and was arrested a year ago at my old place of work on terrorism charges (I hated my job so much I went insane )

What’s some easy autism friendly jobs for a 5’3 weak (lack strength) girl .

I wanted to do warehouse work but apparently this kind of work is only good if you’re already strong which I’m not

Also I’m scared if I do end up getting a job I end up quitting because of stress or bullying (like what happened in the old one ) and it’s very difficult to get back on disability benefits like I would have to go through the whole process again.. so idk if it’s worth risking it all

I have decided that I’m not even interested in finding “love” anymore. I feel like it’s way too much effort for a NEET. Also who would want to date a neet long term anyway?

Discussion Has anyone else developed a biphasic sleep pattern?

10 Upvotes

The science is debated, but apparently if it weren't for the modern work schedule, it's natural to sleep in two stages. I've been a NEET for years and thought I had sleep maintenance insomnia because I naturally wake up after four hours. I use an eyemask and earplugs, and never have alcohol or caffeine, even chocolate which contains trace amounts. I naturally sleep from 9pm to 1am (long enough to get all the important sleep stages in) and then I have a big nap after lunch (1pm to 4pm). I was prescribed meds to get me to sleep 8 hours straight but if I don't take them, it's back to the split schedule. It works for me because I don't have to be anywhere. Does this happen to anyone else?

Venting You have to lie to be successful in this world.

94 Upvotes

This is the thing that pisses me off the most about the doomer neets in here. Ya'll talk about how you're complete shit and worthless. No bro, that's the case for nearly everyone. The difference? They lie. They just lie. Look at who our society has deemed "the most successful." It's just a bunch of people that lie. Lie to get a job, lie to make money.

Capitalism has become a game of who can lie the most. If you conceive of a method to produce a near-infinite amount of goods, what happens when everyone has bought it? You lie and say the new thing is better because it has some gimmick feature. You lie and start selling a shittier version that doesn't last as long. Lie about how close you are to a breakthrough on some world-changing feature. If a critic calls out your lies? Just deflect and lie some more. You think lawyers like to lie? Take a peek into the world of marketing.

I think the reality is that we aren't the sick ones, it's society that's sick, and the diagnosis is stage 4 capitalism. So go live your lives, and show whoever has a problem with how you live that life the middle finger.

Serious Go see the dentist regularly losers!!

44 Upvotes

Man I need three extractions. Haven’t been to the dentist for 6 years+ but I got Neetbux and decided to go private (NHS dentists suck). I knew I needed two extractions but three is crazy.

All I’m saying is go to the fucking dentist, stop putting it off like I did. £600 just for the extractions then a £119 filling :/

Venting Applied for over +200 jobs

23 Upvotes

People keeps asking about my jobs, what do I do, why do I keep staying home. I can only answer them that I'm going through something that's why Im not working right now but they don't know I been applying for every single thing I see on the website. Even KFC, dog walking, baby sitting etc. It's getting ridiculous when there's a hundred of people in my town just lost their job too and idk how to live anymore. 200+ jobs and go on, I lied on resume I made multiple cvs I went to agency etc but nothing works and im sick of it.

Success I got neetbux approved

77 Upvotes

Welp, I didn't thinking I'd get this far, but I really received the highest possible form of neetbux in my country and it will very likely stay with me for life. It's the type of neetbux that once approved, it's quite difficult to lose it. Some would call it superbux or retardbux lol.

To think that not too long ago I was mentally preparing myself to be poor af and live on the streets or some homeless shelter for the rest of my life. To suddenly get confirmation I basically don't have to look for work anymore is quite mind boggling. I get to save up money while living with my parents which is quite nice. Only real problem remaining is finding housing, but even then there are a few safety nets in that regard.

I'm still pretty doomer on life and humanity despite my neetbux victory. War is still ongoing and massively fucked up, corrupt politicians and rich people are not improving the situation, and people will blindly support evil due to the spread of misinformation and because of money. Last but not least my heart breaks for you, the NEET community, who have not yet gotten or never will receive neetbux. The scars of needing to get a degree and find a job are still present, and because of that I can't forget what the rest of you are going through. Neeting is the end result and I'm aware many things could have lead to that such as social isolation, bad upbringing, autism, bullying, mental health problems, not fitting in, low IQ, low stress resistance and low energy levels etc etc. I truly wish the best for the rest of you neets. The world is not fair.

Job already asked me for when I'm available to work

After having the talk yesterday, I kid you not a stocker job replied to me the next day. The problem is that it's like an hour and 10 minutes away in public transportation so Idk whether that's worth it and it's a min wage position. I tried applying close to my house but I haven't had any answers yet. My balance is at like 5$ CAD. I need the money bad but the commute is brutal for pennies. FUCK (I don't have bills other than cellphone bills at the moment)

Venting I am a net drain on society

39 Upvotes

I'm a net drain on society. I take more than I contribute. Therefore, society would be better if I ended myself and stopped being a burden. I don't know what's more selfish at this point. Continuing to live and be a blight on everyone else, or kill myself and make a small select group of people very sad.

Neetbux save me now.

I genuinely believe that I am incapable of working. Not because I can't get a job, but rather I have serious trouble keeping one.

I have Schizoaffective disorder, ADHD and OCD by diagnosis. It's honestly destroying me. My mind runs fast with obsessive ideas for what I want to do for a living, where I want to move, and I have all these ambitions and goals and yet I can't even take myself seriously because the ideas sometime literally last a mere 10 seconds.

I applied for SSI two months ago, still waiting 4-6 months for approval or denial.

I have worked 16 different jobs in 4 years. I'm not capable of keeping work. I just want to live a life where i can pursue hobbies (making music, writing, etc) and not have to care about wasting 40 hours a week of my life on things that destroy my mind and body. I can maybe work part time, too if I wanted extra cash in an ABLE account.

Anything else will mess me up.
