Hey /jp/, what makes someone a "true" NEET in your book? Here are my defining traits:

1. He is a NEET out of choice. I would not consider a homeless person to be a NEET and I would not like to associate with them. Likewise, someone that's in the hospital and very sick all the time would not like to be associated with me. A true NEET just has different standards for success than the rest of society and is capable of setting his own goals.

2. He is not very social. A true NEET is someone that is independent and strong-willed. Not only does he choose to reject society's definitions of success (working, school) he also chooses to reject society's definitions of happiness (starting a family, having a lot of "bros", etc).

3. He is not overweight. Unlike other nerds, I think that a true NEET is able to maintain a healthy body weight, whatever his reasons may be. Every true NEET that I know that is intelligent and strong willed also happens to be normal weight, if not underweight.

If you aren't familiar with Nietzsche, one of the greatest philosphers of all time, I am essentially saying that true NEET are modern ubermensch. Nietzsche's nihilism is basically "the strong man creates his own values even though he accepts that there are no true and correct values, and sticks to them no matter what."

So again I ask, what is a true NEET to you?

I think comfort makes people dumb OP, just learn how to get it from somewhere else and if it's a hassle pay for it, I'm sure that with enough money you can have almost anything from anywhere direct in your door.
