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.

    I have been unemployed close to two years. I have full autonomy and bills. Im older and going through savings. I have tried to get into a program for more education but was not accepted and a training program would have taken a lot of time away from looking for work and some work I can get (I substitute teach some so maybe im not strictly a neet although I don’t think there will be many oportunities for it over the summer). I was a stem major and worked in tech all my life which allowed for “odd” individuals in the ranks. When I was young kids like me were called introverts and that was that. It makes me wonder. I have been struggling with depression and want to get help but im on the us lowest level medicaly system and its that much harder to navigate and the depression itself makes it hard to even try.
