That's something I really didn't want to do. It felt like admitting through years of schooling I failed to learn, and that I couldn't do shit a 10 year old could do.

I already feel self-concious about learning algebra, knowing a lot of people my age learned when I should have, in intermediate/high school, so 7-8 years ago now for me, and have probably now finished university doing way more advanced shit.

But I think you're right, I'll do that. There's a pleasure how easy the simpler questions are to answer. This guy I know was telling me not to feel bad about not remembering stuff from school - he has a 5 year old and couldn't remember division to help her with her homework. He thought it was pretty common, only a small amount of people retain that shit because we've had easy access to calculators for a long time now.

And that "Are you smarter than a fifth grader?" thing. I suppose they get the highest achieving kids from the best schools to compete with the adults, but still. Makes me feel less stupid being so far behind.

Is not like you failed to learn, but if you don't use to the things you have learned, you will forget how to do it anyway, especially on maths which you need constant training to get better, and also remember a lot of formulas, forget 1 formula and you are done with that problem.
People finishing University are constantly dealing with math problems, people like us NEETs probably doing zero math at home, obviously would forget the very basics.
even normal people with jobs that don't require heavy math forget most of the things they learned.
Don't feel bad about that anon, don't feel like you're stupid, Do the maths at Khan academy from the beginning and you will remember all in no time.

Since comic-con was a bit of a bust, where else can I meet geeks/nerds?
I still felt like a socially awkward twat there.

(I didn't really open my mouth when we to comic-con and the fact that it's not really a meetup might have why.)

You could have started a meetup group looking for people to go to comicon with you but its still trying to salvage a bad idea. If you want friends or at least social contact join a class or a course people there are pretty much forced to interact with you

Funnily enough I did go with people (2 different sets in fact), I'm not a complete lunatic, though whether you'd call them friends is another thing. 2nd group was just a dude I knew invited me to tag along with his group when he decided to go to comic-con.

I have a few 'friends' but aside from them being flaky, they don't really have the same interests as me and I've never met another geek/nerd (let alone geek girl) in the area.

I'm just thinking it would be easier to meet people, my social anxiety/awkwardness/fears not withstanding, with similar interests.

What's worse when I actually do find something, the position requires experience of some sort.

I don't have any whatsoever outside of volunteer work at school several years ago, which doesn't apply in most cases. Fuck me.

Where are you looking? From my experience, places like Walmart or Target don't have listings on job sites, so go apply directly on their sites. Any nearby store you can think of, go apply to.

I'm just looking through various sites that post listings. I will probably look around and see what's available so I can apply anywhere nearby tomorrow.

I recently moved to this area but I've been a NEET for a good while anyway. So I'm not too sure what's around here besides a Walmart. Already applied there.

I'm 23 and been a NEET all my life. Currently living with my sister, but she is on welfare and can barely keep the lights on. Right now I'm at the library, on a phone that has no service aside from the free Wi-Fi that I'm using now. I have severe procrastination and motivation issues, but once I get going on a task I'm practically a workaholic.

I've been trying to look for work, but I'm in a small, shitty SoCal suburb that has nothing but Mom & Pop shops and a handful of markets that aren't hiring. There's more opportunity in towns a couple dozen miles away, but I need to take the bus there, which means I need to spend what little cash I have just to look for work.

The big problem is that most places are apply online only, which is pointless for me if they have no method to contact me afterwards. With these circumstances, how can I find a job to get myself on my feet, or at least enough to help with the bills?

Saw some working at home advice earlier in the thread. I'll give that a shot and hope it works on a tablet, but I'd appreciate any advice.

You are poor, poor do you understand? You need to do what poor people do, poor people often can't find work so they start selling food or coffee or wathever they can. It's a very small investment, you can start with only bus fare and some cheap candy. Ideally you could play the guitar or do something for cash but I'm going out on a limb and guessing you don't know how

Then learn on Khan Academy,though you may have hard time since you maybe don't know the multiplication chart, but that is only memorization.

Good luck anon, if someone is willing to pay for your college you must take that opportunity.
I had that opportunity but the person who offered me to pay full college, had a son later so all my dreams went to the sewer and I stayed a NEET.

I left the NEET lifestyle a while back, and it's killing me. I get 4 hours a day to myself if I'm lucky, sleep less than I should, eat junk for food because I don't have energy to cook a proper meal, and the bottle's tempting me again. I don't see my friends anymore and I can't remember the last time I did any of my hobbies.

I can't go back to the folks, they can't afford it anyway and even then it's a temporary solution to a lifelong problem. How do you guys manage to pull off having time and money to afford basic needs?
