I'm technically a freeter, but I feel that my life is still more or less similar to that of a NEET.

I became the way I am now due to long stretches of unemployment and isolation. I couldn't get a job for the longest time due to being forced to work for my family as well as having a psychology degree and I was isolated due to having an unusual brain that not even myself can really figure out. I don't know if my brain is broken due to being born that way or having something happen to me, although it is important to state that my mom did drop me on my head from a short distance and most of my current symptoms only surfaced four years ago at most, probably less (I'm 28).

Concerning environment, I guess that I always had trust issues from how my family and peers treated me. My dad would make me work for him for nothing doing the most meaningless tasks and would basically scream at me over little things; he was kind of a crazy asshole. My peers all kind of stabbed me in the back during middle school and I never really had much faith in having friends since then, although it kind of lightened up when I was in graduate school at MTSU. When I was 16 I was misdiagnosed as being autistic and my family completely changed the way they treated me, basically shoving it down my throat and viewing me as some kind of retard who couldn't ever live on his own, even though I was in AP classes. I'm not autistic at all, but rather psychotic, but my family is in denial about that. My current therapists agree with me.
