I was thinking of hitting the road without telling anyone, just disappear. I'd be homeless and live off savings (saved up quite a bit). For context - I'm a 20yo incel neet who hates his family. They're my main problem in life currently and I just wanna get away from them (moving out is less appealing because I'd have to find a job). Thoughts? What am I in for?

Never set off like that without either a destination or intended result. You can aimlessly roam, but if you don't have either
>somewhere you want to end up being
>something you want to end up doing
you'll just come home again.
Doesn't have to be specific, but like
>I wanna live somewhere with X climate
>I wanna get X sort of job
>I wanna see/do X
otherwise you will just awkwardly travel a bit, burn through your money MUCH faster than you think, then come home.

I had a job and I felt even shittier though. Also I pay part of the rent and buy a lot of food on my own, I wouldn't say I'm really leeching off of them to any serious degree. And no... They're definitely not better than me in any capacity, although I guess that depends on what your values are.

I did and he appears to be more of a nature dude? I was thinking of roaming the city. Crossing the country and going to the coast, I kinda like the beach. I wouldn't do anything brag-worthy, I'd still be the same loser, just rotting on the street instead of my room.

the thing you're running away from will pursue you wherever you go
your family is a sample of the general society unless they're losers like you
work your problems with your family and society, there is no running away from your problems, be a man

Why do you think I'd return home? Usually I fall on extremes pretty easily, if I'd take the leap and run away I don't think there's a chance I'd go back. Also why do I need an idea of a certain result? Can't I just do it and worry about the result later? I don't have any goals in life or results I wanna reach (which is why I'm considering something so retarded in the first place).

you seem extremely lost and like someone who can't take care of himself anon, it doesn't sound like it's going to work

If I'd be on the street though I doubt random strangers would be as controlling and intrusive as my family is. Also I truly don't think I can make a compromise with anyone. I hate how materialistic people are, I can't stand being around them anymore. I simply can't pretend to be interested in sports, cars, women, work, tv shows... just to fit into society. I think detaching from it is much more "being a man", although I'll admit I have a tendency of reacting like a retard which is why I'm here for advice on this act that I'm considering.

I'm extremely lost yes, but I'm positive I can take care of myself.

you'll find living on the street no better, i'm sorry to say
you still would be forced to depend on other people & face new indignities on top of ones you're used to
although you would be spared from your family, whatever they're like
can you find roommates or even crash a couch with friends?
having a job doesn't have to be so bad, you just need to find one where people treat you okay & the work isn't too bad

No I lost all my friends after school ended. And are you sure work like that exists? Last job sucked the life out of me, I was so depressed I could barely move despite being healthy. I was just driving screws into metal all day.

>No I lost all my friends after school ended.
my point is ur gonna end up depending on other people if you're living on the street
>And are you sure work like that exists? Last job sucked the life out of me, I was so depressed I could barely move despite being healthy. I was just driving screws into metal all day.
sorry anon
but yeah idk how else to say it, there are plenty of other jobs besides screwing metal into shit
and also, as an example, there could be two different "screw-into-metal" jobs, one hellish & the other enjoyable
it all depends on the specifics and the people you work with

I see your point in trying more jobs, but there's another thing I'm wondering. I deliberately called myself an incel because is life even meaningful if I'm never gonna have my own family? What's the difference between living and dying on the street, or torturing myself by working even though I don't have any kids to feed and dying all the same? Why put in this effort if I'll die alone anyways? I don't care how soon it happens or if I have a roof over my head when it does.

you could find out by living on the streets for a month or so
i guarantee you'd change your tune if you felt what it was like, worrying about your survival within the next few hours instead of the next few years is a different state of consciousness lol
i know how you feel, anon, and you might hate to hear this, but you're still young/emotional
you're probably better off looking for some sort of support network or friend group, the best way to do this can often be through a decent job
a good friend group could make whatever problems you have with your family feel like a much smaller part of your life, and the money from a job could make you independent in a real way

good luck anon
>Hopefully I figure something out.
at your age, it's better to throw shit at the wall rather than overthink too much, if you can stand to do so
just try things & remember a job isn't a commitment, don't get peer pressured by the niggers who employ you xd

Do you have a car? From your text, it seems so.
You would have to spend money in restaurants to avoid starving. You would have to go to supermarkets or shopping malls to use the bathroom. You would have to go without showering (I've gone 6 months without showering, so that's not a real problem). You would have to charge your cell phone or laptop in a shopping mall.
In addition, you would need to calculate how long you could live like that with the money you have. Does your money earn interest? If so, will that interest be enough to cover your expenses?
If you really want to go ahead with this idea, I recommend that you choose a location in your city to keep your car, because driving constantly will make you spend more on gas and consequently more money.
Those who decide quickly, regret quickly. Think carefully before making any decision.

I've got a license but I always walked everywhere so I never bought a car. Never needed one. And I know this decision is hasty but it's getting more and more sullen at home, I'm wondering if I'll even have to leave on my own, maybe I'll get kicked out the way things are going.

He hobo rode trains across the country then went to siberia and lived with reindeer herders for a few years. I do not in any way understand the point of "the beach" unless you have a boat or are pier fishing or surfing the beach is just a crappy place to be. Sand, strangers, you swim 20 minutes and then what just sit there in a sandy hot uncomfortable loud place surrounded by strangers?

I mean air is good everywhere outside of cities. Saltwater is good for your skin I guess but I just dump a few pounds of mortons water softener salt into the bathtub once a week for the natural antimicrobial, antifungal, and light exfoliation effects of salt water. But the beach is just a bunch of scum and minorities all congregated together blasting shitty music on boom boxes. In destinations you have a bunch of people trying to pedal you shit on the beach. You could go to a resort but I'd much rather go to a hot spring or ski resort. Colorado has both of these things.

None of this is true.

Pack a bag and go walk the famous trails in Spain and Portugal.

If you are able to get used to sleeping rough, then no you don't need to depend on anyone in your day to day life. Apply for an EBT card if you're American so you don't starve even if you do run out of money.
>>
>>34436035
You can piss and shit anywhere, dumbass. No need for a bathroom unless you're in the city and trying to be respectable.
Go to supermarkets to buy your food with an EBT card. Yes, food and water and camping gear is a lot of weight and space. But if you want to be independent, you have to get used to lugging it around.
Pour a jug of sun-warmed water over your head with your right hand and use your left to wipe off the grime.
A bicycle will help you cover five miles so much easier than walking. You can even rig up a trailer and tow your shit behind you.
Personally, I just received news that I no longer have a job or a place to stay when I return to the USA in July, so I will be adrift as a vagabond for a while.
