>3am ice baths, pushups and spend all day getting ready
Idiot how is this supposed to get you a job?

>>585
How do you expect to miss your interview if u arent spending all day getting ready to prepare for it?

NEETs are a combo of bad job market, disabilities (and lack of services to help) and general social alienation. The idea that you are going to fix the NEET situation with self-help bullshit is dumb and self-help is generally reactionary.

>>589
This. What they need is mandatory blue collar training.
That's the thing most self help media leave out
They only focus on big money schemes like real estate flipping.

Don't really know what it's called (probably anhedonia which is caused by many illnesses etc.) but the impression one gets is that its "something one doesn't really want to do" (work) being justified or motivated by "something one doesn't really want to do." (live, consume, etc.)

>"something one doesn't really want to do." (live, consume, etc.)
e.g. they're fine with NEETbucks, instant noodles, and stolen anime, they don't need or really want anything more.

Irony is, NEETs may be the only true contents in this current reality.

Thought this might be BS, but reading some interviews: https://www.vice.com/en/article/neets-what-do-they-do/ Sounds like the ones not starving, are doing okay other than the reputation aspect.
Vice documented common stories of people not being respected enough, treated as human (including bullying), or having tasks that suits their talents, in school or the workforce. Not too far off from >>598 actually. Also worth noting that most of them seem to see it as temporary.

>>644
Of course it's temporary. Life is temporary. Also most neets have either gone to college or worked at some point so they expect to eventually do those things again at some point. I remember neeting feeling pretty good when I did it but I was often on edge from not having a job mainly because i didn't want anyone to lecture me about it but also about being asked what I do and sometimes from boredom. Now that I work I pretty much just work and go home but I don't particularly want to do anything since I don't really like going out. I think I did slightly more things out of the house when I was a neet but I think the reason for that is that Covid really killed my desire to go out which was already minimal to begin with.

Bummer. Was thinking personally that moving to an urban environment might help me do more out of the house. Already don't do very much at all and don't think this is uncommon for NEETs.

>COVID really killed my desire to go out
A disruption to social habits really can be, well, disruptive.

Wanted to add that when I neeted I saw it as some kind of reward from work. I would work about 6 months at a low paying seasonal job then go on unemployment and wait for the season to start again before that I went to college and completed a degree but had no real desire to work but also had no work experience. Luckily I paid nothing for college since I went to a community college first and I just continued living at home which I do to this day. So I was quite privileged but it eventually ended and I never really had much money during my college days. Looking back I should have gotten into the work I do now back when I was in my early 20s as it might have helped me integrate better into society

Basic grooming is necessary if you're touching grass amongst other people

This is why I think secondary school should have spring semesters dedicated mainly to doing volunteer work out side of school, no homework.
That way, when you graduate, you have enough work experience to get some job rather than having to wracj your brain with applying for college
