Excuse me fellow VIPPERs. Maybe you have forgotten but it's probably best to call your girlfriend or boyfriends significant VIPPERs that way we don't have to parade ourselves around so much! And let's try not to discuss this too much and get too meta. (・ω・`)

I got relatively good scores on the standardized tests, but my complete lack of high school transcripts means getting into the university of my choice would be utterly impossible. Thus am I forced to attend a school whose entrance requirements are less stringent. To make matters even worse, having to actually socialize with the "people" who I share my classes with is driving me insane. I can't even tell anyone how much I hate all of it, except over the internet, and even then only on anonymous boards like this. Oh how I long to return to the carefree life of a hiki. ('A`)
>>198
T_T I understand wholly, man. I endured a temporary break in hikikomoridom to attend college as well... but I just couldn't deal with the simplicity and slowness of teaching methods plus the ever-prevalent feelings of weird telepathic empathy, making every class a terrible bombardment of adverse experiences. However I am trying again soon...
>>198
Don't worry, the other universities aren't any bit different.
>>198
You can always transfer and every school is exactly the same. You'd be amazed at how many idiots go to "good" schools.
>>199
We should start a support group for recovering hiki VIPPERs. HA, Hikikomori Anonymous? I know there's a hikikomori board on Anonib, but Anonib isn't very VIP QUALITY. I wonder how many hiki, current or former, are on SAoVQ?
>>200
>>201
Oh I'm aware of this, but if I'm going to force myself into such undesirable situations, I'd much prefer to do so in a location of my preference.
>>203
I would join this support group if it was made. Although I have never been a Hikki or a NEET, I get sad sometimes and it's cathartic to be around other depressed people.
>>203
If I was a NEET I would be able to catch up on all of the good anime/manga and read all of the books I've been meaning to read for the past 5 years now. The NEETs have it so good and I am jealous ;_;
Being a hikki/NEET is fun and all, but it really does lose its fun when you finally have some meaning in your life besides finding ways to pass the time.
>>207
I assume this is true, but I've found it difficult to find any real meaning in anything beyond material necessity. If I didn't think that I have to go through the motions of normal life to maintain my standard of living, I wouldn't bother to do anything. It's sad really, the only thing keeping me going is the fear of losing what little I have and becoming even more miserable. ( 'A` )

I'm looking for a job, but every time I find one I think I might be able to do I end up not applying because I think that they won't hire me because I have no previous work experience and that even if they did hire me they'd fire me soon afterwards because I'm too stupid to do the job.
So I guess I'm looking for a job that welcomes people with no previous work experience and that you can't screw up.
I don't understand what's wrong with all of you VIPPERs. It's okay to be sad, but it's pathetic to hide behind your depression or anxiety just because you're unwilling to do anything at all. Stop using it as an excuse.
I wish someone in here would talk about the actions they've taken to improve their situation (however small it might be) despite their [insert X reason here].

Once I wanted to get over my fear of public speaking so I joined my school's debate team. At my first competition (at another university) I cried in front of everyone. And then in the next round, I cried again. It was pretty traumatic, but now I'm not afraid of public speaking anymore. After being so goddamn mortified, I realized that it really didn't matter anymore. Sometimes my palms get sweaty when I say something in class, but it's manageable.

I've become increasingly bored with my life and have lost the will to do anything, even things I enjoy. Everything has become a hassle or too hard. Even when I decide to do stuff, I can't do anything right.
>>210
This post might not make the most sense, as I'm still feeling the effects of some medication I took last night, but for me, the problem isn't that I'm not willing to improve my situation. I'm doing everything in my power to do so in fact, and have been mostly successful. I have issues with the minutia of daily life, but I'm working to overcome them.
My only real problems are either psychological in nature and can't really be changed through perseverance and hard work alone, or philosophical, which theoretically I could change, but to do sue would be like a a Muslim trying to convince himself he's a Hindu just because he thinks it would make him feel happier. It's easier said than done.

I don't get it. Why don't you just travel THROUGH the internet? It's free that way! Just make sure her connection doesn't cut out while she's downloading you.
Real VIPPERS aren't depressed because DaddyCool has given them exclusive access to SAOVQ.
>>218
One time I tried to download my friend via dial up. This was about seven years ago so that's as fast as I could afford. It had been around six hours and he was halfway done. I could even grope him a little (the top half of his body was completed). Then all of the sudden I received a call and the connection cut out. The connection was cut and my friend was lying there in pieces. I was up to my ankles in blood, organs and bodily fluids. I slowly picked up the phone. "Hey Grandma, how are you doing?"

Why can't I be a cold bastard like my friends? Why do I have to be able to love and suffer because of it? When we go out together, I sometimes say something about love without thinking and they look at me in a weird way.

I agree with this VIPPER. Walking through the woods is very nice, and if you get bored, take off at a full sprint, leaping over the roots, ducking under the branches.
It makes you connect with the primitive VIPPER inside of you.

I just pretty much flunked out of community college. After failing basic College Algebra twice, it's safe to assume all I'm good for is minimum-wage menial work, and I haven't had any responses to my applications even for those jobs. Even if I did, it would be very hard to find affordable housing around here with rent under $600 per month. So if my parents kick me out, I'll be homeless.

Learn to weld, or make a biscuit joint, or even just the proper application of adhesives. There's lots of better than minimum-wage jobs for just knowing how to stick two things together.

JOBS NOT REQUIRING ALGEBRA (or even a degree!):
Carpentry
-Construction
-Woodworking
Design
-Fashion
-Graphic arts
-Illustration
Entrepreneurship
-Sales
-Marketing/Advertising
Machinery
-Automobile Mechanic
-HVAC/Electrical
Just use your imagination and do something you like doing. I'm a web programmer and not only do I not have a degree in my field (I have an Associate's degree in general art) but I have never once used any math more advanced than linear algebra(if even). All you need in any field to get a job is good experience, and you'll have to take lower pay at first, but after you gain that experience you'll make more than the entry level job that your peers will get after they graduate from 4 years of school (that almost certainly put them in debt).
Being an auto mechanic takes thousands of dollars worth of tools in order to advance beyond doing tires and oil changes.
Also, it doesn't resist recession the way out outsiders think it does. In times of good, people get rid of their absolute wreck to buy a decent used car at the same time people buy new cars. In addition, people hanging on to older cars tend to ignore maintenance, and have tires that are on the verge of catastrophe. That, and anyone with no warranty will avoid repairing their air conditioner, stereo, or other extras until good times return.
