I'm not one myself but if they aren't harming anyone, why should they be judged?

Because they're not contributing to society.

Which I guess I don't care about if they're NEET because their parents are bad parents and just enable that lifestyle.

But it goes too far when they're actively abusing welfare programs to continue living like that.

People are free to expend their resources in any legal way they wish, right? I gotta assume, in the vast majority of cases, the person supporting the NEET is doing so willingly.

For certain values of "willing". Most NEET-enablers do so out of a sense of obligation: they feel they have to do this. Their wishes don't come into play at all.

Because we live in a protestant ethics society, your value is judged on your contribution rather than as a person.

Personally I disagree with the system we have.

If you take part in society, you need to contribute to society. Nobody likes a leech.

This goes all the way back to hunter-gatherer days. If a member of the tribe isn't hunting, fishing, gathering fruits and nuts, raising the children and is just sitting there taking up space, he is quickly cast out of the tribe.

If you have a job or raising a family, you are contributing to society.

Sorry, friend, but if you are unemployed, not in education, and aren't working to fix that and just taking government checks or living off your parents well into adulthood, you are a leech.

The point of life is to live? Well being a NEET isn't living.

I hadn't even heard of this word, so I had to look it up. I guess I was technically a NEET then. However, my situation was different from what I'm perceiving to be the usual "NEET". I saved up several thousand dollars from the factory job I worked at, and I got burnt out, so I quit to give myself a nice, long vacation. This is the problem with generalizing; not everyone's situation is the same (I had money in the bank, and needed to relax for several months).

What a dumb acronym. I swear, people make up that shit for the sake of it.

And because being a NEET in itself is god awful. I see so many people on here say "I wish I was a NEET" because they're mildly exhausted from going to work every day and it's just the most ridiculous thing ever. Imagine just being stuck in your house with no way to fund your hobbies and no money to do anything for yourself.
Yeah this sounds accurate. All of my knowledge of this lifestyle comes from r/NEET and maybe a few guys on here who've more or less admitted they do this lifestyle. It's sad but when I dig up a post from r/NEET I have to go through several that I can't post because they mention suicide or other fucked up shit. Doesn't sound like a nice life at all.

I've tried getting a job and I froze in place and sat in the corner when I went in for training.

Plus my mom had a gastric bypass and eats like nothing but cooks as a hobby so if no one eats it it gets thrown away. I literally can't eat it all she makes so much. Plus I'm trying to help her with being an alcoholic as much as I can while also dealing with anxiety depression and other stuff.

But yeah also I'm lazy and have no ambition or willpower.

This!

Work sucks! I sit around for 8 hours browsing the internet, shopping and waiting to go home

I would love to stay home, eat, play games, binge tv shows, drink booze, and sleep. All day.

Bro if you think playing video games all day is living it up then it shows a very limited perspective on life, which is a symptom of the disease that is NEET.

Jealousy is one possibility but I don't think it is the main reason people generally dislike NEETs. My guess is that it's something to do with the high percentage of people in modern society who are motivated to work long hours for money and status rewards, coupled with the desire for social engagements of some form which leads them to negatively judge those who aren't primarily motivated by these same things.

Idk I just don't get it

Not being able to buy food for yourself when you feel like it sucks

Games are cool and all but you get tired of the monotony of playing them every single day and doing nothing else

You don't have any big events to look forward to like trips with friends or live events or whatnot


Fucking loved being a NEET. I just went food shopping with my mom and I'd get some food when picking her up and shit from work.

There are too many video games and media to get bored. I don't care about big events (Unless it was esports at the time) and have no friends anyway!
