Should I go back to being a NEET?

@deg

......I think I envy the NEETs. XD

I don't know what works for others, but I'm 30 years old and have been a Hiki NEET since age 18.

until the free ride ends and you need to shoot yourself like me

@foxes_are_neet i remember you saying you got social welfare? so youre better than me that lives in a poor country

I don't like this idea that being a NEET is some choice that you make, because it's not. It's not like we got Universal Basic Income

The welfare system in the west was built up year after year for many generations because your ancestors wanted their descendants to have it a little bit better than they did, and so that their descendants would have a social safety net in case that they'd get ill or otherwise unable to work and make a living for themselves. It wasn't made for lazy people to leech off it but for people who genuinely got no other options

@Tressym

I told them all fuck off right back, because if I got a job during any of those periods, I would get fired because I would refuse to do anything.

I need to do things that I want to do before employment, and nobody will pressure me.
I got a checklist. uwu

I have talents that I'm gatekeeping, like, programming, adapting music scores to piano, etc.


I don't have my own cell phone / smart phone. I don't have a driver's license. I didn't take college courses. xD
I've lived with my parents my whole life and they trust me.

It is a choice if your family is well off enough.

@IpreferEcchi

I understand that, I also like to have as much freetime for people I love and my hobbies, also I got no energy for a full time job, but what would you do, if your parents aren't around anymore?

@deg

Social welfare is not "for free" tho.
You have to be at the job center, actively looking for a job, in rehab or if you are totally unable to work, you go through an Odyssey of doctor appointments that are really targeting sick people sometimes.
They don't pay welfare to people, who don't want to work.

I ask myself if I'm lazy or just low energy.

I do function each day but sometimes I need time off for a day or two.

Functioning burns me out sometimes. I actually plan to set aside college, then get a certificate, then start looking for work.

Maybe I just need a break or two.

*shrugs*

@Tressym ye i heard about that in europe but i also heard europe has low working hours so its not stressful for mentally sick people if they are force to work

@deg

40 hours, which is stressful enough.

@IpreferEcchi so you have been a NEET since graduating high school? You never attended university/college?

@DesuMaiden I never went to college, never got a driver's license, and never got a phone.

@IpreferEcchi why would you never get a phone? What is wrong with owning a phone?

@DesuMaiden It costs money and it's a shittier version of a computer and there's no need for any phone except a house phone if you're always home.

And you can get honeypotted on a cell / smart phone but can't automatically on a computer since 1 on 1 contact isn't the main point of a computer.

@Zarutaku

Having a partner is not a priority for me.

If I were born female, would my life be easier? Probably more dangerous but I live in a super safe area. So, these two just cancel each other out.

And here I thought you wanted more independence. Becoming a NEET would be the complete opposite of that.

I don't know who has it easier overall, but males are much more likely to be injured, so it's statistically much safer to be female.

@Zarutaku

I think girls are more likely to get harassed by guys. Guys would purposely do shit to girls because they know they can't fight back.
