| My decades-long interest in anime and video games has nothing to do with the fact that I am not a member of the working class. When I worked many years ago, I had already been into them for a long time. P.S. You have an awesome new profile layout! |

| I'm a NEET mostly because of health issues, although I did used to be a kind-of property developer for my family's business, before they both passed and the houses are (almost all) sold. I also lack a lot of education because of safety complications when I was a kid, which made me not be in the system until pretty recently. I've been an Anime fan for about 7 years or so now, but have been a NEET much longer. |

| I was a NEET before I was an otaku NEET. I was actually into anime first, but such interests were pretty well diminished at the time when I dropped out of college. From there I never got a job and just spent my free time watching anime for some artificial sense of accomplishment instead. And nowadays I just don't have any interest in living my life for what it could be had I got a job or somehow advanced my career. I know for sure, however, that my otaku hobbies have helped to perpetuate my disinterest in reality. |

| Neither, I am a NEET because I am severely mentally ill. |

starflutter said: did you become a NEET because you got so hooked on anime that you became disinterested in the real world? I got hooked on real porn and video games. In February 2009. |

| The longest time I've been a NEET (not counting pre-employment) is from Feb 15, 2019 to July 3, 2019. Addressing your question, obviously the anime obsession came first. As it is most probably for everyone else who get exposed to the medium in their teens. The problem lies with if you will let it ruin your life. Not so long ago there's some dude who apparently had his life ruined by anime to bother making a long rant about how even his family relationships were broken as a result and although I feel sorry for him that doesn't necessarily follow. I have cousins who own anime merch I can't afford, who have better jobs than I do. Anime has nothing to do with it, you are still the driver of your own life |

| Financial Crisis ruined my life prospects for me, that and last year in uni made me NEET not anything else. |

| im NEET because im mentally sick and even when i was healthy i already watch anime |
| I have shitty parents that messed me up and lacked anyone reaching out to me leaving me alone and I also don’t fit into the current system of the focus of what is considered education and careers. I am the type of person who hates specialization and wants to do just about everything and not be tied down to anything but there is no easy path for people like me especially without the backing in such a system of profit motive so Im completely cast aside and left behind. |
| Mental illness and life situation create neets. Addiction may play part for some. |
| I always liked anime, through school time, exam phases and working. My having been a NEET for a while has nothing to do with my interest in anime. |
If life ain't just a joke Then why are we laughing? If life ain't just a joke Then why am I dead? |
| I just ended up with tons of free time and decided to occupy it with porn and anime stuffs being a NEET i also have tons of time to learn japanese and recently i've been getting into learning how to draw the real world isn't entirely disinteresting but it's hard to justify ever going out anywhere cause there'd be nothing to do and nobody to go with also i'm pretty content with the NEET life and will carry it on as long as I can really unless i discover some miraculous job that I love doing (maybe i'll translate hentai games/doujinshi? who knows) |
 |
| I'm a NEET because I'm disabled. I couldn't work or drive, even if I wanted to. |
 |
| I have chronic health issues. I haven't worked in almost 3 years and before that I would be on and off work for weeks to months at a time due to my health. I actually divide my hobby time between watching anime, reading manhwa, and reading fiction/webnovels/fanfiction. At the end of the month my time will be divided even more since I'm going to be looking after my sisters 4 kids a couple days a week while she sleeps (she works night shifts and needs me to watch the littles while she sleeps. She has a 3 month old, 2 year old, 3 year old, and a 13 year old. Obviously the 13 year old will be in school and can pretty much look after herself, but the littles need me to feed them, change them, and play with them so my sister can get some sleep while her husband is at work. It'll only be 2 days a week, but it'll be really difficult on me with my health issues, but I can't say no to my little sister because she really can't do it on her own and can't be expected to go to work the night shift with 3 hours of sleep which is all she'll get before she has to take her husband to work as he doesn't drive due to his seizures. I did it for a few months before my sister went on maternity leave so I know I CAN do it, it just takes a toll on me and I basically am bed bound for two or three days after watching her kids, though it might be easier this time as last time I watched them for 5 hours before my niece got home and this time it'll only be 2 hours as her husbands hours changed. To clarify I watch them an additional 3-4 hours after my niece gets home too. So having the 13 year old home early to help will take a lot of the burden off, I think. Also, the baby likes to be held all the time. All. The. Time. He gets fussy if you put him down, but is 100% okay as long as you hold him. He's been a little better about being put on the floor though so he can practice rolling over or play on his floor mat, but the bad part of that is the 2 year old is in this phase where he wants to hold his baby brother. So you have to watch the 2 year old like a hawk if you do choose to put the baby down. The 3 year old is super easy though, surprisingly. And she's an aspie, but so am I.). |

| Not currently a NEET but have been one in the past/will likely be one again in the future considering my track record. I’ve always liked anime, gaming, etc., it’s not what made me a NEET though. I’ve been able to enjoy those things while also working. I’m was a NEET because I’ve got some mental illnesses and was unable to work or socialize the way most people are expected to. My hobbies like anime then became an escapist coping mechanism after accepting my NEET fate. I will say that made it a little harder to stop being a NEET and face reality, but I’ve been able to overcome it, though relapses have happened and probably will continue to happen. It is what it is, I guess. |

| hello fellow neets :) i'm a neet again. i dropped out of school at like 16 then was a neet from 16 to like 25. i just played video games non stop and watched a lot of porn in that time. 25 i got my ged, went to community college, transferred to university, got an engineering degree... i worked for intel as an engineer but i didn't make any friends and i think everyone disliked me. after that i was a neet again for 5 years. recently i was working dead end warehouse grocery store delivery jobs until i hurt my back and now i'm a neet again. i wouldn't blame anime for my problems. it was mostly video games i think. |
| There is no bigger neet on Mal than me.. |
 |
| Came after i became a neet , i liked some series before , but i wasn't a weeb. Animanga were free and easy entertainment to waste all that free time on. The reason i became a neet? I was uninsterested in studying anything and it wasn't necessary for me work to support myself thanks to my family , I'm a lazy guy , so this was the natural conclusion for an unmotivated person |
