What do you mean by NEET ? If it's just unemployement and no school, everyone have it during their life, you just have to be lucky to go out of it. If it's clearly not going out of your home even for basic things like errands, that's something else.
a young person who is no longer in the education system and who is not working or being trained for work (the abbreviation for 'not in education, employment or training')

I'm not summoned but when you said NEET, I said "you call me?"
Hehehehee 🤭🤭
Umm I'd ever experience that after finish my college, I said to my father, "I don't want to work, I want a break, college was too stress and I need some moments to not doing anything" And father just agree.
And.... Suddenly time flies almost a year, my father asked did I still want a break, I said I still don't want to search for a job, again, he's okay, and in my NEET era, I sometimes travels for a week and came back home shut-in for two weeks, I meet with my old friends sometimes and came back to shut-in for a week. Just like that until almost 2 years.
And father asked me again if I'm feeling better enough, I said I'm better but still afraid of adults world like working and have to deal with boss or colleagues, so father offered me to work at his company, as a reception, cuz he knew I don't want to be in a higher position bcs of him.
So that's it.
Ah my life journey is an on and off being NEET, this is just a first phase. Hahahaha sorry for writing it too long. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Wait, is that term politically correct?
HR might want to see you now.

As much as I would like to deny the "NEET" label, I am unfortunately one of them. Not in Education (I took a semester leave for an overseas job), Employment (still waiting for news; there's been a change in the "Cabinet of Indonesia" (basically ministries and such, as well as job policies), and Training.

I mostly spend my days playing Gacha, and help my mom doing chores. Grateful to have a supporting parent through these trying times.

Here's to better days, and some good news regarding my overseas work.

Why are you mentioning a dead account like it's going to answer? We already have one necromancer and it's @tobias5678. :lul:
Don't forget about Textaddress!
Back on the topic, there's nothing wrong about a sabbatical year (unless you cannot afford it) before moving onto something else, even during that time I was still studying but on my own. I decided to change my trade, but it's fine to rest and then the following year pursue what you decided to. Here being a NEET is merely sponging off and draining your family assets, those people simply think that can be children forever.

I spent a couple of periods of unemployment in my 20's that were probably long enough to qualify (though never more than 9 months), but I feel like there's a difference between what I was doing (being lazy and smoking A LOT of marijuana while waiting for a job to fall into my lap, which it always eventually did) and being a dedicated NEET (not even looking for work, and actively avoiding it when it came looking).

That's literally some people I know (well, they're no longer in their 20s), the difference is that they mix marijuana with body-building. Yes, they were definitely talking about dedicated NEETs, the ones I mentioned before are basically drop-outs, here many had the following life-view (the USA equivalent is being a security guard): "you don't need to study to work, so it's fine if you can't complete your compulsory education because you can always work on construction or as a waiter. If someone you're close to has a business or is politician, they will put you in a trusted position because to boss around anyone will do". There's no need to say that those people nowadays are burnt-out from badly paid jobs (if they have one) and they're fucked for life.
Here's one example of someone who was close to be disowned: after never studying a trade or a degree his father got tired of him so he set an interview for him asking a friend of his as a favour. The NEET in question didn't go to the interview since he overslept (and never contacted them), got a call from his father because he was told he didn't go and told him to go during the afternoon instead. The NEET refused because "I have to meet with friends" so his father stopped spending money on him so if he wanted to do anything he had to pay for it. Suddenly, he felt as he wanted to work and nowadays even has his own family.
