But I'll tell you (and I've had this type of conversation waaaaaay more in my life than I'd like to), I recommend not glorifying NEETing as noble or rebellious. That mindset can somewhat lock-in your options and trap you.
What you mean by trap is like the feeling of not wanting to do anything productive anymore because you got sucked in too deep at being a NEET? If that so, yes, that is a trap to watch out for. Although for me, it will be a way to kill time before CTB by doing the things I love before moving on. Doing NEET for a short-term.
I'll die before they do so I don't have to worry about being homeless either
Yup my plan as well. I'll neet off until an exact point that it doesn't burn away needed cash for CTB protocol. At my current state, the last thing I want is to die on the streets.
Having been a NEET at two different times in my life I'd say it's pretty nice. As long as you have some savings and are planning on an end date to either go back to work/school or die it's a pretty chill lifestyle. Granted I'm living rent free in my parents' house but I imagine that's how most people who are NEETs are affording to live this way. Getting to do whatever I want whenever I want and not having my labor exploited is a pretty good feeling. When it becomes really not fun is when you're completely broke so you're stuck in the house all day because you can't afford to do anything or drive anywhere, or if you have no plan to stop being a NEET.
Yes I agree, it would only suck if you got no plan to get on your feet. I don't have to worry about that since the end of my neeting is CTB, not gonna be an exploitable cog in this economy. I do live rent free, but I can already feel I'm gonna get kicked out soon, so better end before eviction catches up on me, or before I lose too much of my savings that covers my peaceful exit.
CTB is the highest level of freedom, and the second-highest is money. NEET too hard and you'll lose access to both of these really quickly.
It is the highest level of freedom no doubt. Survival instincts and pro-lifers give it the illusion. Money would make me reconsider, but I'm an unfortunate lower-class folk. Fortunately, I had saved up for CTB, so I just need to balance it out.
(btw sorry to original poster if im clogging your replies i just like finding people with similar interests LOL)
Haha no worries, everyone's welcome in this room
. You can send a private convo in SaSu though
i wanted to kill myself after i stopped being able to attend my shitty community college. life is just so much more boring with no school or work. i just play games and rot. i've always felt guilty that i've never worked or held a job because i can't drive and i'm so offputting to employers that they aren't interested in hiring me. my life has felt aimless even before i dropped out since i didn't have a lot of interest in my major, so i feel like i was set up to fail. people look down on me a lot for not doing much besides staying at home.
College is supposed to be a place to meet new friends and join in a lot of orgs and social events, but my college is literally tormenting my life, and I realized it is not healthy anymore. I got no circle of friends and really wished I never enrolled with a screwed up mental health (exacerbated by a breakup before school). I did experience a little bit of NEET after exiting a horrible call center company, rotted off for a few weeks until I decided to apply for trade school for a few months since I couldn't handle myself playing games all day and not doing something productive (in hindsight, I was just worried since the time I used to play could be used to advance study in college or start a business, but all productive goals are long gone now).
Lost my interest in studying since in the grand scheme of things, most of us are gonna die as capitalist pigs, and I don't want to graduate and be exploited with a menial pay. Also never had a driver's license yet since I'm more inclined to bicycles and public vehicles for transport (it's feasible in my country)
I'm guessing youre a mafuyu fan?
) they would have me. they're my parents btw :P
