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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

that isn't what a neet is dude.
you were just normal unemployed. lots of people are unemployed for long periods of time while actively looking for a new job, or take on temp/part time work in lieu of full time salaried employment.
NEET is people who actively do not pursue employment, aren't in school, and who refuse to work at all. Most often they are just young people who are totally dependent on their families/parents. Sometimes they are just rich people who don't have to work and fuck around. Often they are socially isolated and don't have active social involvement with anyone.
My personal experience with NEETs is they often had well-off family who just let them fuck around for years because their parents had co-dependent personalities, or paranoid/controlling personalities, and hence they'd rather have their kid be NEET than independent of them.
There's some others in this thread that really need to read your comment, but they are to busy making excuses for strangers.
