I'm sick of waging. I was miserable as a NEET too but I can't take this repetitive, miserable routine. Waiting for the weekend to come just for it to be over in a blink of an eye. How do people do this shit for decades without going insane?

>tfw the miserable part of the work you have to do is coming up
Just thinking about that shit makes me physically ill.
>How do people do this shit for decades without going insane?
They actually spend ages 18-30 developing a real career that pays well and is tolerable. You know, instead of being a loser with zero skills, credentials, or education working a job that a 14 year old could be instructed to do in a couple hours max. 90% of the people complaining here about wageslaving did absolutely nothing in life to foster a better future, yet bitch and moan when the consequences of their actions come back to bite them in the ass.
i tried my hardest, yet received nothing but failure. some people say i was born to fail.
Didn't try hard enough, clearly.
>24
You've got time. Either get into a decent trade that isn't backbreaking manual labor or finish college. No excuses for dropping out, it's more stress than it is actual difficulty. Come to the medical field if you've got a decent mind for STEM, we always need more people with pulses in the hospital.
What are you even talking about? Did I ever imply that miserable wagies vanish into thin air just because I'm comfy? If you don't want to work a trash job then take the steps necessary to escape such a fate. If you aren't moving towards a better future then you simply don't want it bad enough and have become content with rotting. Yes, the world needs people to bag my overpriced goat cheese at Aldi and cook my McDoubles, but it doesn't have to be you. Let it be some other sap.
18-30 is just when most people get it done. Better late than never.
>why didn't I inherit those genes that makes people sit all day all study/learn or at least gives them willpower to go out and do things and succeed?
Lmao blaming your garbage attention span and lack of willpower on genetics. Pathetic. 70 IQ frat bros that can't point to the Pacific Ocean on a map get degrees with decent GPAs; pretty sure anyone can do it if you want it bad enough.
>There are no fulfilling jobs though
Yes there are. I enjoy my work. You aren't thinking hard enough or have let chronic depression rot your ability to see the value in what a man can do with his hands (besides cooming).
>Yes there are. I enjoy my work. You aren't thinking hard enough or have let chronic depression rot your ability to see the value in what a man can do with his hands (besides cooming).
I can't lower my IQ enough to enjoy working. Hence the drinking. And I don't have a high enough IQ, genetic lottery win or well connected family to do or get one of the jobs 0.0000000001% of males get that aren't just boring wastes of life.
You sound like you're coping with trad Peterson babble.
>You sound like you're coping with trad Peterson babble.
Peterson is a homosexual. That Sheogorath suit he wore did have insane drip though.
>I can't lower my IQ enough to enjoy working
lol watch out guys we got a MENSA member here. "Too smart to work". Do you even hear yourself when you type out shit like this? So far gone. No one is "above" working, spoiled brat. You're stretching for reasons to justify your nonsense.
>I don't have a high enough IQ, genetic lottery win or well connected family to do or get one of the jobs 0.0000000001% of males get that aren't just boring wastes of life
Have none of these things and still love my work. I make a difference and I take pride in my unique skillset. That's all there is to it.
You really don't know how evolution works do you? Formal education is a very recent phenomenon. You can just magically "evolve" genes that make you a scholar in a couple hundred/thousand years. I won't deny that there is definitely a genetic factor when it comes to inherent academic talent, but just because you weren't born a fucking calculus savant doesn't give you a golden ticket to be a retard with shit academic work ethic.
>Have none of these things and still love my work. I make a difference and I take pride in my unique skillset. That's all there is to it.
So do uber drivers and electricians. More power to them. If I could be an easily contented normie, I wouldn't be ITT.
I am not talking about being born a savant or with an iq of even 130, just let me have average intelligence but give me an ability to focus and maintain attention span, these traits are beneficial even in other contexts, I don't mind spending even five times amount of time to learn simple things as long as I can study
Also this is my job list
>McDonalds
>Supermarket
>Uni - film and television editor
>Factory
>Roofer
>Warehouse/truck driving
>apprenticeship - builder (both the worst job, where I really started drinking and doing drugs heavily, but paid for my apartment)
>Nightclub manager
>Now - forklift driver, broom holder
All of them were shit, all of them left me feeling every single minute of my life was wasted
If I could go back knowing what I know now, I would have joined the army like my cousins. Even if all they do is cry about it.
Work sucks, don't know how fags tolerate it.
>Lmao blaming your garbage attention span and lack of willpower on genetics. Pathetic. 70 IQ frat bros that can't point to the Pacific Ocean on a map get degrees with decent GPAs; pretty sure anyone can do it if you want it bad enough.
but why? surely long human evolution should have evolved some genes for better attention span and willpower?
I just turned 24 years old. College drop out. Working a decent easy packing/shipping job that pays decent for the midwest. Is it too late for me?
This "not me" mentality is hilarious. Like if you have a good job all the shit jobs and miserable fucks that do them just disappear.
if i'm lucky i'll probably be in my first or second year of uni at 30
supposedly 100s of generations of my ancestors overcame adversity, survived and even thrived, yet today here I am wageslaving, why? why didn't I inherit those genes that makes people sit all day all study/learn or at least gives them willpower to go out and do things and succeed? I hate it all, I don't think I am particularly low iq but I cannot sit even for half an hour to do something like studying, I just cannot stand that boredom of learning some dry subject, I also hate working with other people, I particularly hate group projects, what the fuck did inherit if I cannot do any of these things? Evolution is a fucking scam!
your ancestors had pussy, you dont. no reason to struggle if no pussy
unlikely, I am single not because I am complete robot but because I don't really want a relationship, women frankly annoy me, if I want sex I can just pay for it
>supposedly 100s of generations of my ancestors overcame adversity, survived and even thrived
This is weird to think about once you really ponder it. My ancestors dealt with so many terrible times while lacking all the basic amenities we have at our disposal today, yet sustained the bloodline for generations, leading all the way to me, just so I can sit at my computer for years on end lamenting the world. My brother has a gf, but neither of them seem likely to have kids before 30, or at all, and there's zero chance of me finding a girl of my own. This bloodline ends with me after centuries of existence.
It was cheaper and easier back then, plus big families and homogenous communities. Even high tier wagies now struggle to have kids.
There are no fulfilling jobs though. That cope is worse than just being a drunk.
I imagine some STEMcel fields are fulfilling for incels/autists, and obviously famous artists, musicians and actors enjoy their careers
but yea I can't imagine anyone actually enjoys the tedium of being a doctor, financial analyst, etc, even if it pays well
it is indeed cope, but what's the alternative? permaNEETing and wagecucking?
I wish I could go back in time 10 years and invest in bitcoin
I wouldn't say that. My brother has a government job where 3 days of the week he can "work from home" which is sitting with his laptop open playing video games.
posts like this just demoralise me as a NEET
even just getting a basic bitch job would be a major step for me, but normalfags will still consider me a loser failure...
Normies, and especially women, will loathe you more for a low tier job than if you were unemployed. If you just have a normie job, then you will be in the exact same position you're in only more depressed because you're wasting your life working.
Dude, some people have crippling mental illnesses on top of the hellhole that they are born into. None of us chose to exist here with this bullshit system, so congrats on you for having all the mental capacities to achieve something in this dog eat dog sociopathic realm, but some have troubles coping with this shit.
>How do people do this shit for decades without going insane?
They get married and have kids become shacked to the system. They do not have a choice. They cannot become a neet because their wife and kids will be homeless. Soo they dredge on following the carrot on a stick that is retirement where they can live a few years in peace before death.
I use alcoholism.
I'm autistic NEET and play runescape all day
I managed to save GBP 6k cash, 48k crypto, 83k stocks, and 11k in my pension. I am 30.
I have been working remotely since Covid and I am isolated and depressed, I still feel like I don't really know what I'm doing at my job. And I'm having to learn a load of IT skills that I really don't care about and find it very difficult to stay engaged.
Should I just quit and take some time off? With cash from paychecks coming up I can live for 6 months without having to sell any assets. In that time perhaps I can make online income, o rjust get a job in an office to avoid the isolation I'm having
I don't know where else to ask
good for you, I lost 50k in stocks and 20k in crypto, my investing days are over, at best I might put my money in savings account.
Yeah my net worth was 180k, then it fell to 130k, now back at 145. Praying to God there's a new bullrun soon, I really don't know how long I can keep up at this job
if i had that much money i'd just travel and do loads of mushrooms...
give me some money haha
When I was editing, the best part about it was the long time between contracts and that I was livng at home, so I could weeks of neeting. I could probably sell my stupidly expensive apartment and go live somewhere cheap and just deliver uber eats a couple hours a day and be semi neet, but I get anxious to the point of suicide if I don't have money (which I never get to spend since I go nowhere and do nothing). If you are comfy, I would take as much time off as humanly possible. You only have one life. No point spending it being miserable.
At least being a medieval peasant your days relied upon the seasons so there was routine but some variability at least. The industrial revolution was a mistake etc etc.
They don't. What the fuck do you think has been going on in the modern world? Everybody is some level of god daamn crazy now, people who are chronically online are worse off for it all as well. They're mean, hateful, aggressive, and addicted to some thing or another.
Weclome to the kali yuga. Work isn't supposed to crush you and life is supposed to be fun.
