I’ve always been so jealous of NEETs like imagine not having the burning anxiety of wondering where your next meal would come from if you stopped working for a few days
Edit: i understand i have an idealized version in my mind, I’m sure it’s just a side effect of having to work to pay rent since i was 14
It’s not good. I’m not neet by choice, I’ve been dealing with a host of mental and physical problems that bar me from any real gainful employment. I’m at the whim of my family whom I’m at odds with over stuff like food and housing and if on a bad day they don’t want to put up with me anymore they can cut me right off! Sure I have free time I can use to pursue hobbies and stuff but I’d rather have the piece of mind of having to not worry about food and shelter anymore.
NGL, I wish there was an online support group for involuntary NEETs (inNEETS?) where it tries to actually be a productive, non-toxic place for people down on their luck.
The whole concept of “NEET” was invented by neoliberals as an alternative to saying “unemployed”. They needed a way to discuss the unemployment of “socially desirable” people; White men from middle income families who in prior times would have been training to be white collar professionals. “NEET” divides the reserver army of labor in to morally good and morally depraved categories - NEETs are contrasted with Reaganite nonsense like “Welfare queens”.
