If physical or mental health issues bar you I’d consider that different. I never really understood how you can live your life being a NEET. Its a term I’ve known about for awhile but only recently remembered was a thing. Do you have bills? Do you have autonomy in general? Whats the living situation look like? Is the term offensive? I have a ton of questions really. Not here to shit on anyone I’m just full of curiosity on this one.

    No longer a NEET but when I was I had very few bills. My parents paid for most of my living expenses and other things I funded by boosting other players in videogames mostly league of legends and RuneScape. I didn’t have a lot of autonomy but I also didn’t really want anything so it was never a real issue. Looking back on it it was very bleak but at the time I was happy enough playing video games and coding little projects. I rarely left the house maybe once a month. I don’t think the term is offensive.

      I feel like it would be bleak in retrospect but maybe not that bad when you’re in it. So that makes sense interesting. Thanks!
