[QUOTE=JackDestiny;50429371]Why do you call someone a "NEET" when he's looking for a job? It basically sounds like "worthless human being" which probably doesn't make things better. Not everyone is a just because they're looking for a job.
I got treated like one too, when I was looking for a job and I realized how fast people change their behaviour towards you.
Most people think you're living a happy life and have infinite vacation time when you don't have a job, but it isn't like that.
I felt like shit, was doing everything I could to live a normal life again but still got treated like nothing because apperantly, you're worthless when you don't work.[/QUOTE]

I have more than a few people who suffer from seriously bad bipolar disorders in my extended family, and it positively sucks when they get into one of their moods. This is not what bipolar is. Bipolar people often get into manic depressive states that can last weeks, if not months.
You clearly know next to nothing about the illness, and are playing armchair psychiatrist.
To everyone saying that the father is not acting in an appropriate manner, just imagine this situation. You're in the later half of your life, you've invested a lot of money into raising a child, and now they're grown up all they want to do is sit in their room and play video games. They don't show any drive or motivation to succeed and they don't appear to be looking for help either. I know for sure that I would be disappointed.
I full understand the father being mad. In fact towards the end he talks about how he wants his son to develop a new hobby, something that isn't online and then goes onto say how the poor his lifestyle is. He is trying to help, he doesn't know how to help because he didn't grow up in a time where you could sit in your room all day jerking it to anime titties and never going outside

It also absolutely ridiculous to try and diagnose someone with a mental illness from one out of context clip.
Persistence is key. Took me a year to land a job when I left college here in the UK and it drove me insane constantly looking. I done all the 'apply online' shit and personally handed out my cv to businesses.
I'm 25 (26 in July) and on minimum wage and I work for an independent business. My job isn't fun and I would love to find another but literally living 5 minutes away from the place is too hard to pass up.
Also

I was a NEET off and on, and being unemployed was stressful as shit. You are constantly judged and my father refused to believe 90% of places now do their applications online. I hated it but people acted like I was enjoying it.
Literally every place except one I've ever asked if they were hiring said "I have no idea, apply online" to me. The one exception was also the only place that still had physical, paper application forms.

saying that the father is bipolar or is an alcoholic is really fucking insulting to people with family who are bipolar or are alcoholics

Poor choice of words to be honest mate.
Been a NEET ever since I left college 3 years ago, landed one proper job since then and was promptly fired soon after because hey, it's easy to get another job isn't it! :)
That was disturbing
I was a NEET shutin for a fair amount of time (five or six years total, longest stint was three years) and it wasn't as horrible as people here make it. sure I was depressed and bored but it was still better than working full-time. I'm never going to work full-time again if I can help it.
This was painful to listen to. Especially considering I'm currently a NEET. Been trying my damn hardest to find a job but I've only had a handful of interviews so far with nothing to show for it. Miserable.
Also I should point out it turns you into a lazy fuck and really fucks with your mental health. Despite applying for loads of jobs I find myself avoiding full time ones because I have convinced myself being at work for that long is a waste of life and other such bollocks, so I have to force myself to not think that way. It's such a shitty way to live and right now, it's not even my fault. It sucks.
Been a NEET for over a year now. It's that bad in my country it seems.

Don't get your panties in a twist over obvious sarcasm
Being a NEET absolutely sucks.
I have socially anxiety by default. I was born for whatever reason as having selective mutism which means you have a 90% chance of having social anxiety.
I spent several months of my life applying for jobs and enjoying the "tugboat" of welfare.
You firstly perfect your CV. Then you apply for jobs well below your capabilities and well beyond your capabilities.
I applied for more than 100 jobs in total before I gave up with only a single response. In reality, my CV demonstrates great capabilities for most any job, however I received almost no responses.
Being unemployed as well as in a locality that was remote was extremely difficult. It take it toll on you personally and makes you feel like you can't achieve a damned thing in life. It puts all you have achieved in silence and makes you feel like shit on a day to day basis.
You wake up every morning feeling like shit--playing video games only provides a very minimal form of escape.
After 101 job applications I completely gave up. I became a full-on recluse and seldom left my house. I'd left a locality where I had partial employment at the expense of delayed paycheques and relying on my family to a locality where no one would response to my job applications and the expense of absolute zero employment and eventually having to rely on my family completely.
After some time I ended up back where I was and with semi-employment from people that trusted me. I never dare question people who employ me and I work god damned hard to make sure I show myself as being the best ever.
My paycheques aren't as fantastic as I'd like, but its great to have employers that appreciate you for who you are and most of all for having the opportunity to escape the world of unemployment.
I suppose I'm extremely fortunate to have a family who I can always rely on.
The best advice I can give anyone who is in the same situation is to see a psychiatrist and explain them to your social anxiety problems. Second best to that is to take every day a step. Try to achieve at least something and then go from there.

I'd much rather work full time than be a bored, depressed neet shutin because ti means those couples hours a day you get to play video games or whatever, you enjoy them more than if you're playing them all day in a failed attempt at relieving the boredom. I seriously don't understand how someone could consciously make such a decision to willingly be a neet and only seek part time employment at best. I've already gone crazy after a month of the neet life.
i dont know how to feel about this. on one hand the man is trying to show this louie person that what he's going through right now is not the way to live and on the other he totally flips his shit but that's probably from being fed up with this behaviour and at wit's end

Nope, not true at all actually. NEETism is caused by one of two things: depression/anxiety, or just having a slump in your life. The latter is a normal form of NEETism because these are the types of people who are floating between jobs, or just moved to a new location and are getting their feet wet with what's available.
The former version of NEETism is rarely caused by laziness. It's caused by a crippling form of anxiety or depression. I've been there before and it's not good. Depression isn't "just feeling sad", it's a mental illness that prevents you from wanting to do anything. You possess no drive or motivation to even wake up at a reasonable time because why the fuck would you? What do you have to do? It's a snowball effect that just gets bigger and bigger and bigger and the weight starts getting harder, and harder, and harder to carry.
I know what you're thinking! "Just go out and get a job!" For these types of people that is way easier said than done. When you've been in a depressed slump for a year, you are so worn out and burnt out by simply existing that you don't want to do a damn thing. It's not laziness. It's a state of being that is built around entirely hating yourself. With a deep, burning passion. It's a perpetual self-hate machine.
And the anxiety. That is the worst part. Even if you aren't suffering from depression but have serious social anxiety, even mustering the courage to go somewhere and ask for an application is an extremely scary and daunting task. Anxiety is extremely difficult to get over, but the self-hate machine with anxiety runs at a much slower pace than that of depression, so for most people it's easy to turn that train around with some effort.
The problem is not that these people just "let" the lifestyle happen to them. Some people legitimately do not want to do anything with themselves, and that's fine. They can do whatever the hell they want.
Screaming and yelling at someone in this kind of state is not what you should do. When it happened to me I wasn't being yelled at and I never felt like I was actually despised or hated. I completely agreed with everything being said to me. I just didn't want to hear it every day which is why I temporarily moved out. What you should do is [I]talk[/I] to them. Sit down and actually talk to them. These people don't need to be yelled at by the only folks sheltering them. They need to be loved. They need to feel like they actually have people in their life who care about them. Who want to see them succeed. The last thing they want is to legitimately feel like a burden. That will just make them feel even worse. They need a god damn hug.
What they don't need is their mom or dad screaming and yelling at them out of the blue, telling them to get the fuck out or get a job. They need help. They need to be worked with. The reason I fell out of my NEETism is because my dad and stepmom sat down with me, and asked "What do you want to do with yourself?" I was ecstatic. I told them I've been wanting to go to college but never could because money. I told them I want to better myself. I want to get out of this rut. I want to do something with my life. My dad never seemed happier, and my stepmom started making all of the necessary phone calls, emails, and faxes to start the process. And I went at it for awhile until the money train died and I had no way of acquiring aid. My parents were upset, I was upset. Shit, my stepmom actually cried because I ended up on some kind of bullshit alumni list or something and knew I wouldn't be able to continue it. And so I fell back into the NEETism for a few months. My stepmom was the main instigator in pushing me to go out and look for work. She was mad at me. She was angry because she saw how good I can be if I put the effort in. She didn't like seeing me go back to wasting myself. Wasting my knowledge. Not putting any of it to good use. I understood why she was mad, and that did not make me hate her. It made me feel appreciated, in a tough love sort of way. I feel like many of these parents approach the situation from a tough love perspective but if the NEET has not gotten any taste of what they [I]can [/I]accomplish, then doing the whole tough love routine doesn't work. It just makes them hate you.

Sometimes I feel like a NEET even though I'm going to college and working towards a degree. I've never had a real job in my life and my dad kinda rides me about that sometimes.
I want to get a job this summer but I don't have the time with this summer class and I dont want to try and find a job I'll only have for 6 weeks
But I feel really shitty and lazy about it, mainly cuz of my dad
I've been a NEET for months. I don't know what to do though.
