When d'yall learn you became a NEET? What was the, kinda, point of no return in your life that made you become one (or since WHAT exactly). How did you know you weren't going back to a normal path

About 14, when my (miserable) day to day schooling ended after a broken nose.
For a couple of year before that, I skipped class as much as I could.
Spent about 18 months as a proto-NEET, barely attended a new school, and got into a unit for troubled kids.
Then I passed two years of college, with a NEET year in between.
Now NEETed for 19 out of 20 years since then. My adulthood is a miserable grave of inceldom and depression. I want to die.

When I left high school, the feeling of euphoria knowing I was free to be alone was indescribable.

30
I had spent my entire 20s clinging to an egotistical, narcissist identity that was the result of growing up in a shitty household with an awful father. I realized that, like him, I was doomed to work shitty jobs for the rest of my life until I died and my only options were to find something I could tolerate or just hop around hoping to make more. I'm an actual retard with no real life skills and I know that cannot admit that to anyone because the conversation would be:
>you spent your entire 20s doing the bare minimum and now you don't know shit
>yes
My only real option is to downgrade from my decent apartment into something even worse, or God forbid roommates, and try and start again where MAYBE at 35 or 36 I will have actual skills. I have enough money saved for ~2 years, might be more depending on BTC's price, but as I put in more and more job applications I realize I am so unbelievably fucked. My best bet is to, like I said, work for some shithole company and pray to develop skills.

Ironically most of this is something I knew deep down at 18 after high school but couldn't bring myself to admit because I wanted the idea of a loving family to be so real. At this point when the money runs out I will probably kill myself. I would give anything to go back in time and tell younger me to get out of that house ASAP. Tell everyone it's Hell. Fuck family. On the plus side, it does bring me joy that whether I KMS or not, my parents will die alone.

Some additional thoughts:

The only real reason I want a job is to feel "normal" and by "normal" I mean something that will allow me to live/return to my incredibly self-imposed sheltered ideals of yesteryear. I know it is sheltered because it was the only way I was able to cope with my family. If I hadn't drowned myself in cartoons and video games I know for a fact that I would have turned to hard drugs and would have probably gone to jail at some point or would be posting this from my childhood room heating up some heroin. I look back on 90s and 2000s suburb culture and every time I get choked up over a past I never got to experience with a future that threw what seemed like paradise to the side.

Yet ironically most people in those situations seem depressed and require like several SSRIs in order to function. Yet I myself need a fucking stew of supplements to not want to KMS each morning so who tf am I to suggest anything.

Ok what's the point? The world is objectively getting worse and worse and if you call it out you're an asshole and told to indulge in harmful substances. If you haven't been in the dating, house, job, or social game since 2023 you honestly don't know how bad it is. My fucking local Home Depot has locked up so many items these past 5 years it's insane. I wan to know what the point is.
>inb4 make 1 yourself
Cool. Make a lot of money and fuck like an animal except I spent my 20s doing that and now it is boring and I want something more in a world where it doesn't exist.

I'll finish it with this: It feels like for my entire life I was playing some character actor that was a blends of late 90's and early 2000's culture that is out of date and nobody wants to see on screen anymore and I have no idea how to change to modern times. I refuse to be part of this new Amerimutt nigger-wigger culture but I know I'm too stupid and inexperienced for anything higher, assuming it even exists. I think I understand why so many zoomies are depressed as they also feel like this and know shit is irreversibly fucked. Almost like we're about to enter into a blatant caste system in the West and if you weren't born in the top 1% you will fall into poverty.

It was caused by my parents sabotaging my health and neglecting me. I gave up on ever having money, skills, love, sex, etc in elementary school. I was chronically diseased, frequently acutely diseased, obese, autistic, depressed, anxious, a selective mute, a compulsive liar, never loved by my family or taught how to do anything, and much more. I was lost and alone with terrible health that just kept getting worse because of my parents. I could barely function, I was incompetent and unloved, and I was physically unattractive. My mother specifically was a horrible person, so I always hated and distrusted women. That combined with everything else made me never talk to a female without them talking to me first, ever. I still haven't done it, and when they talk to me I keep it impersonal and get it over with as fast as I can. I have never tried to get a job or driver's license. The last time I tried to get friends was in 2010. I dropped out of school in 2012. All of my time since then has been spent on my computer in my father's house without neetbux. My siblings have had miserable lives too, and 2 of them have already died from the poisoning and nutrient deprivation forced upon them by my parents. Nothing ever got better for me until 2022. I've undone a lot of damage, but I will never be as healthy and attractive as every human should have been. I will never get to redo the last 3 decades with good parents and therefore good health. I'm stuck at nearly 30 years old with no skills, connections, money, friends, etc and the world keeps getting worse in every possible way. I'm going to keep improving my health with the very rare and valuable knowledge I've stumbled upon and see what happens. This is the only thing that has ever made me feel good in my entire life

I went on hunger strike against life, ended up in hospital. Then my parents knew I was serious about being a NEET and decided to let me live in their basement rent free. Conveniently, my stint in the psych ward also made me eligible for neetbux. I've been NEET for almost 8 years now, but I feel like it's about time to finish the job and leave this world. A man must have his pride, if nothing else.

am gay. molestation + absent father was a deadly combo and now i have no chance at reversing it. whats even the point of attempting to live a normal life? the way i see it, the only thing worth working for in life is continuing your bloodline. i'd never be able to make a normal marriage work, actual straight people have a hard enough time.

That's the fun part-you don't have to give a shit about any of that. Sure you're going to stand out and look funny-but let's be honest you already do.

And yes the ruling caste is doing everything possible to erode and destroy any economic opportunity or social mobility. Offshoring, mass immigration, H1B's, giant subsidies for mega corps etc.

Not a NEET but I lived like an almost-NEET for some years during my 20s and looking back, that was the happiest period of my life so far. I have a degree and a job now but I'm living well below my means and never moving out because I want to save and invest my way back into living like a NEET for the rest of my life. I really don't like anything about normie life. I don't like waking up early, I don't like driving(I take the bus instead), I don't like coffee, I don't like office small talk and gossip, I don't want to marry and have kids, I don't want to climb some corporate ladder getting into more and more demanding roles. And most of all, I don't want to end up wasting my prime and then arriving in my late 60s-70s having wasted 60% of my weekdays in an office.
I just want to play vidya, mess about with tech, masturbate, get drunk and go on nightwalks sometimes, work out, sleep 8-9h a day and be free with my thoughts. I don't care for having a purpose, being useful, or having a legacy or any of that crap. I just want to be left alone to do whatever the hell I want, when I want. Normies look like insane, brainwashed people from my POV.

I didn't give a shit up until now and now I want to be something better. It's the lowest form of entertainment. It's like being a Gen Alpha and being exposed to nonstop brainrot only to see 2001: A Space Odyssey and want something that deep.

Are you Finnish by chance?

Either way, I am in the same boat. I would gladly live somewhere cheaper and smaller if it meant social isolation. I would gladly go back to doing backbreaking trades jobs again if I could do it completely solo

Not Finnish but I'd love to move to Finland if it were a cheaper country. As it is, I'm more likely to retire in southeast Asia or my eastern EU country. I don't think I could retire in my 40s if I moved to Finland, tho I love how introverted most Finns are and I like cold weather. I don't know what I'll do, only time will tell.
>I would gladly live somewhere cheaper and smaller if it meant social isolation.
Probably the mountains in my country could offer me that, along with the cold weather but as much as I like social isolation, I also need some infrastructure nearby. Like a shop, fast internet and electricity. But yea, as long as I have those within walking distance, I'm good.

I mean, imagine having like 3h of college classes per week, living alone and not having a job. Not a NEET obviously, but I had so few obligations and responsibilities that it really felt like NEETdom.

25 year old zoomer here, going to middle and high school in the 2010s fucking sucked, if you weren't obsessed with rap/trap or the NBA, you were considered an uncool weirdo. My school was 95% white, btw. I think my generation has by far the worst brand of normalfags in existence.
