For the two 4-6 month periods of unemployment I've had in the last three years I pretty much would just spend literally all my time in my room playing video games and reading internets and jerking off, only leaving the house to get groceries. Being unemployed is pretty bad for me, I could sleep for 12 or 14 hours just cause I had no reason to get up.

When I have a job it's basically the same thing except I go to work.

I work a job and see and interact with my coworkers daily. Office has ~500 or so people in it.

Also I go out in public and see and interact with people there too.


Do I meet the criteria for this thread?

Yeah great, you don't know either of these people

That's exactly right, champ - I don't know either of them. I based my comment on what the OP of that post said, specifically his text that I quoted. 

Why? Do you only comment on posts where you know the OP and the parties mentioned in the post? Pffft.

quote:

and they sound perfectly happy

As the OP said, they're "very happy" - I'm not sure if that constitutes as "perfectly happy" but whatever.

quote:

so what's the problem?

gently caress knows, you're the one telling the story, dude. I merely pointed out that his girlfriend is pathetic and a financial dead-weight to the relationship when she could just as easily be contributing. You understand that they're not married, right? I'm talking about the lack of self-respect in a woman who deems it normal to sponge 100% off her boyfriend, isn't self-sufficient, and has no independence. She's just fkn lazy.

quote:

You jelly? You're jelly.

LoL! Perhaps it would be better if you didn't answer for me, eh? Of course I'm not jelly. Why would I, or anyone, be jealous of a woman who is unemployed, does nothing but play vid games all day, and who's very existence is reliant on financial support from her boyfriend? Wtf? =)

GF put 80% down on the house we're in so if she wants to gently caress off until she finally decides to go back to work I really don't have a problem with it. She pays for her own junk, I pay the joke of a mortgage and monthly bills. She hates having me pay for her, we went through that once years ago. She'll get a job way before she has to hit me up. In closing: :smug:

Someone asked if we see anyone. We have a naked drunk game night every Saturday with the few random people we have met since we moved. Last night was Smash Bros and that Dune movie.

Studio apartment so it basically is just one big room.

It doesn't bother me too much since I enjoy the solitude. However at the same time It's made me realize I'd probably have an issue with living with someone else since I'm incredibly protective of my me time and doing whatever I want. It would be nice to have someone to share the same things that I like with, though.

God I am fundamentally screwed at being in relationship, and I'm not getting any younger. :smith:

Stop for me, it's the claw!



I have a pretty easy life. I'm 26 and still live at home in a country/semi-rural property of about 10 acres. At 18 I got diagnosed with epilepsy so I'm not allowed to drive a car which makes it hard to get out and do things (it's also a pretty hilly area so walking or riding a bike home is always a bitch). Me and my GF have a goal to get our own place in like 5 years.

My parents are ok with me being here because they can be confident I'm not convulsing and dying somewhere; they let me live there without paying rent and I help them by basically keeping the place in order - Gardening, cleaning, maintenance (painting, cleaning gutters, that kind of stuff). At the moment I only 'work' like one day each week and I'm also studying IT stuff.

I spend my free time playing poo poo like DOTA and Warframe. Games are pretty boring sometimes so I'm glad there's always other poo poo that needs doing.

I live in my room, sorta.

I work from home and my office is 2600 miles away so I never, ever have to go in. I'm naked 24/7 unless it's just plain too cold. I can go a week at a time without having to engage with anyone besides my GF, who is probably who you want to talk to as she has no job and plays video games all day. When we're not parked at the computers we're upstairs in the media room with the big TV & bar loving off watching nerd poo poo or game shows.

We're very happy we don't have to give a gently caress about anything. Except a dog and minor bills. I'm going to disappoint as I actually own weights & a stepper machine and keep in shape. We do bathe regularly. Only people I see regularly are the ones at the grocery store, and I go through the self check out so I don't even have to talk to them. I download/order most things online so I don't have to bother getting dressed.

It's loving sweet I love my life.


You're living in heaven right now. If you're both happy then there's nothing wrong with that, and it's good you keep yourself in shape. That does not disappoint.

I live in my room. I haven't gone to class since last Monday about a week ago. I go outside to go to the store to buy food and booze, I talk to my roommates when I run into them. I spend most of my time asleep, lying in bed, or on the computer.

This thanksgiving I'm going home for the holiday and I'm gonna hang out with friends. Thinking about the idea of people enjoying spending time with me or liking me as a friend causes me to practically break down mentally, like I'm standing there choppin up food and then suddenly my heart is racing and I feel like I'm going to start sobbing because I thought to myself "this person wants to be my friend".

I fell asleep at 8am and just woke up about an hour ago at 5pm.

You sound like you're depressed. Even if you don't think there's no use and don't feel the energy to do so, you should go out for a walk somewhere. It will get the mind flowing more to figure stuff out. Sleeping for that long is definitely not a good thing. You need to fill your life with a variety of experiences and keep your brain stimulated.

I've learned if you're upfront about stuff you might turn some people off but the rest will surprise you. Most people are actually ok about it, to the point where me dressed is now the thing that stands out.

It's really cool that they didn't try to bootstrap you given you really got the short stick. Guessing the plan is to move somewhere that you can get around via bus/train so you can live without needing a ride all the time?

Nah we tell everyone up front that clothes aren't a big thing in my house. I have 1 friend* who honestly can't deal so if she ever visits I'll act like a normal person but everyone else we know is either the same or doesn't care. We'll ask if some unknown person is coming in tow with someone else cause we don't want to make a scene about it, we don't care that hard. Kinda like asking someone if they smoke pot/drink/whatever, unless they're a complete spaz they just go sure cool or nah not my thing and that's that.

A friend of a friend who got surprised with this (friend had a key, surprised me passed out on the couch) and I'm going so I'm going to go get dressed and they insisted it was my place do what I want. That 3rd person later told me that yeah it was kinda weird at first but once they realized this wasn't some exhibitionist or sexual thing for me that it stopped being a big deal. I do it cause I'm typically too warm unless it's the dead of winter, I dump body heat like crazy.

*Or if family visits, duh.

I spent 4 years building a kickass mancave, and now when the day is done that is where I want to be.... but stupid wife and kid loving me and wanting to spend time with me... guh. Exhausting.

But someday, the kid will grow up and be gone and then I will "like....LIVE in my room."

Yesterday's old folks go to the nursing home and sit in the hall praying for visitors. I think we, when we get that old, will be perfectly happy in our dotage as long as we have broadband, netflix, a flat screen, and surround sound speakers.

I live alone, in a small apartment with an individual terrace that has a sweet jacuzzi but I rarely use it.
I'm in underwear most of the time I'm in the apartment, but I'm outside most of the time, working or going out or shopping.
Sometimes when I have no social life arranged, I just go shopping and walk around the neighborhood. Some days I've gone shopping two or three times to the same supermarket in the same day because I'm starved for some human contact.
Well, that and not wanting to buy more food than strictly necessary because food rots.
