Anyone become neet because you felt like participating in life was optional?

And you dont care enough or want to participate in this reality?

Ive been neet for 5 years after dropping out of university after my first year. My family has supported me financially my whole life (including my neetdom, gotta say Im lucky). I had good grades but none of it was fun and I hated everything about it. I also really dislike people (university is a horrible place for someone who hates people). For some reason, I was absolutely convinced completing high school was necessary. Once I got to college, sometime during my first year, something in my mind changed. I began to understand life like sandbox mode got unlocked. I saw no point or motivation to complete a degree or get a job, or if you extend it even further, to be too tryhard in life. I put way more effort than necessary in all my years of schooling, got good grades and all of that. I was a good schoolslave for my parents for 19 years. Taking control of my life and leaving that fake horrible life behind was amazing. I got tired of it all, the competition, and learning wasnt even fun or enjoyable. Neetdom was a nice breath of fresh air. Im able to do things I want to, enjoy my hobbies and pick up some new ones, achieve some goals, live a little.

I will never understand how a neet can say they "took control".

Unless you're living off your savings you are at the mercy of others.

It's because he broke free of the system

He's tired of the bullshit. He's not going to waste anymore time competing with people or studying bullshit in university.

Yeah but... maybe his parents are also tired of the bullshit, but they were mature enough to realize life isn't always about what you fucking want?

So? This dude figured it out and he's living it up now. Can't you just be happy for someone?

I hope more folks follow him down the path of breaking free from the chains of society and decide to become neet.

Get all the boomers to finally retire on top of that...

Jobs will be ripe for the picking to us workaholics.

I know you're just fucking with us but I have to respond seriously to this. This neet fella is right about studying bullshit and getting away from that. There are few majors worth studying. Instead of quitting he should change his major to STEM, accounting, or nursing, or just go to a trade school. Doing nothing isn't the answer.

He only loves it because his family is enabling him. He's not looking at the future.

If he doesn't like working with people, find a job that doesn't. Work at home. You need some kind of income in case things go to shit. Otherwise he's gonna be more miserable than working at a place he doesn't want to.

He chooses not to work. Society has to respect his decision, and support him as well.

Hell, being one of those successful Let's Players as my source of income is my dream but I know that's a pretty unrealistic goal. You almost need the luck to win a lottery with that.

I think what happens with people like this is that when they first take on the lifestyle of leeching money from their family, they're like "This is great. I sit on my computer all day and do nothing and my family gives me money."
But then you never hear all the bad endings from them because when they inevitably do get the plug pulled on them (be it by family choosing to cut them off, or by something tragic happening to the family) the NEET kid in question ends up homeless and no longer has the financial means to brag on reddit about how they don't need to work.

TBQH I've never said any of this shit, firmly believe in not working more than a 30 hour work week, and yet I still think anyone that unironically uses the term "wagecuck" needs to get their asses beat.

Lmfao.

His parents are a joke. This little bitch would be desperate for a job if he wasn't living a parent funded fantasy life. Put him K. The street for one week without him knowing where he's getting his next meal and he be begging for the chance to go back to school.
