And a lot of them are simply taking advantage of their families and friends. If you identify yourself with a cutesy acronym that specifically describes how little effort you are putting into your life I refuse to take you seriously.
No, actually, I have an offspring who claims this label. They are smug about it in fact. They are not autistic, or disabled. They are goddamn lazy and content to let others take care of their every need. This is my experience with NEET. I wish them exactly what their choices in life return them. My disappointment was extremely heavy for a few years. That child had every opportunity, all the support and encouragement one could ask for. They are 25 years old now. This was their choice. I hate it for their SO who has been manipulated into accepting it and is now burdened by it. So, fuck you.
Sounds like someone who’s choosing to be lazy instead of someone who is unable to work. Not the same thing, ignorant to say everyone who uses that label is the same as your sibling
God forbid I said sibling instead of offspring. Lord.
Idk why you’re incredibly bitter, I get your kiddo manipulated other people into taking care of them, but that doesn’t mean everyone else is your child and there’s no exceptions.
Can we at least be on the same page and acknowledge not everyone who uses a label is the same exact person in the same exact situation?
Using a single fuck up (your child) as your sole basis on what a NEET is is hilariously foolish. Many NEETs are struggling with emotional, mental, or societal issues. Your kid? If they’re being smug, they aren’t suffering at all. That’s not a NEET (technically they are, but setting that aside), that’s a fuck up you failed to correct.
They’re smug about it? The makes zero sense. I feel like you aren’t telling the full truth here.
If what you say is true though, they definitely have some kind of mental illness. You seem to despise them but ultimately they did not choose to exist, you brought them into the world.
Not op, but the world isn’t black and white. I definitely know people like they are describing. Perfectly healthy, mentally and physically, yet neet and unapologetic.
One guy actually recently got a job and a wife and an apartments, so good on him. Though he still struggles because his wife is neet, though she claims a dubious disability.
I also know some people as you describe, with different actual disabilities, and neet. It’s sad, but that’s life.
There’s a lot of people in the world, and they exist all over the spectrum.
So you have one supposed counterexample and now as a general rule NEETs, or anyone who claims this label as you say, are parasitic freeloaders who have had every opportunity in their lives?
To deepen this whole deal, it’s a personal example where we don’t know the other half of the story. A bitter one at that.
I genuinely wish you and your offspring as you call them, which is a very cold and distancing way to refer to your children, all the best. I just know from experience that it’s usually in the parents’ hands to make sure their children grow into responsible adults and I also know that parents by default have an extreme advantage over their children in terms of power.
Air these grievances out somewhere else please and I kindly return that fuck you back to the sender.

What the fuck are you even on about. When you think of NEETs do you only think of exaggerated greentexts, are you this split off from reality?

I have no siblings and you apparently can’t read.
Oh, just.works. Carry on.

What, now the Canadians are the problem?
