This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Anon is fine now, but they will absolutely lose their shit when mom loses the house and they are forced to move into an abandoned hot dog.

The Humble NEET is not problematic.

It means they are a burden on everyone around them on purpose.

A lot of them are depressed, autistic or have a visible disability. It's really hard for them to find a job, especially in this economy. Many of them don't receive the support they need because they're adults. I don't think NEETs like being NEETs. So your statement is pretty ableist considering the reality of people. It reeks of "most homeless people can't be helped because they choose to be that way".

Not in*

You can be an educated and trained NEET. But if you're not currently in school, employed, or taking training, you're a NEET.

Though it generally only applies to people who fit the description for a longer period of time. You're not a NEET if you're just between jobs.

It also implies that you're not seeking out any of those things but I don't think that's a "requirement"
