god fuck it was super hard listening to this
ive never been a NEET nor do i have bad parents so i dont know the experience but just by hearing this, i couldnt have felt more sorry for the poor lad in the thick of this
i wonder if the police will get involved
I'm not a NEET but I'm definitely somewhat of a shut-in.
To me though it doesn't even matter because video games are fun and I like doing something I enjoy.
Doesn't mean I don't communicate with people I just like to stay home.
[QUOTE=Taepodong-2;50432748]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.[/QUOTE]
Being a NEET doesn't mean you have to be a shutin. If you get some structure and don't just sit on the computer it's fine. Many people don't seem to know what to do with themselves if they don't work or have school or whatever. I've heard people complaining that they want to get back on the job while on vacation because they're so bored. Seems incomprehensible to me.
Compared to the stress of full time work part time is perfect for me. I don't feel like a tired and anxious wreck when getting home, I get more free time yet get that structure that gives you purpose. That extra money means fuck all when I'd feel like killing myself after a 40 hour work week. I can eat, pay for electricity and pay for Internet. It's not like I need anything else.
Some parents have a hard time letting go and create NEET situations. My brother had trouble getting a license or anything till he was 23.
I just turned 21 and all I have is a state ID that took me 4 years to get my parents to give up my birth certificate for. I need a ride to the BMV so bad I've been asking my gf if I can borrow her card to uber there. I also had my dad randomly nickel and dime me and convince my mom to look the other way explaining it off as collecting debt that wasn't there.
Only job I ever had was a long john silvers (fish fast food) and I was only able to take it because the school I went to (after pushing hard to go to one over the course of a year or two, it's a state/government funded free high school for people to quickly finish diplomas and get job certifications, even adults and people 60+ were students there) had the manager going there so she could drive me there after school. (I had a fallout near the last area of senior year because of a rut from abuse in a gf I had, took September to March to be wrapped up)
I tried to get into GameStop because it's perfect for me, and every moment from applying and going to interview/follow up my dad was trying to sabotage and put me down. I didn't get the job.
I also picked up an application to a similar store I'd fit right in to and it mysteriously disappeared. Despite my attempts being halted by them they still lecture me about jobs and such. It's like they're trying to live as a NEET parent for some reason.
Sometimes they'll try to hush me by letting me spend a little here and there on games to distract myself with and I've started thinking of deceiving them and putting it into a wallet service like PayPal and using it to get what I need like ubering to BMV and other expenses to help escape.
It's hard to get out sometimes.
I really need to come back and get my little brother when and if I get out of here. I wish my older brother would have for me. Sometimes I bring it up and I get the sense he doesn't want to think about it, but he doesn't deny that it happened to him. I think he's just glad he got away.

Yeah NEET means Not in Education, Employment or Training.
If you're Mr. Lucky McMoneybags and can be a NEET and live happily/have complete freedom good for you, and honestly it's ideal IMO.
I've worked with my dad on projects since I was 9 and one of the reasons I think he sabotages my attempts to get away is he knows he can't do it without me. He has no tech experience at all. Guy can't even turn on DVD players by himself, he isn't very smart with what he's trying to bank on. Hell a lot of the ideas he utilizes were mine. I think if I had a shot I could do it without him, and he's afraid of it. He's twice my age and basically a NEET himself, just not a tech literate one. My mom makes all the money here.
I think we are finally close to making it and he's trying to belittle my role presumably to feel good about cutting me off from our 50/50 split. If all this waiting ends up being nothing because he rips me off I'll probably lose it.
