Yeah, but if you're born and raised there, you should be really likely to be able to leech off your parents. Thats why they have so many hikikomoris: Their cultrue pretty much allows it.

Definitely not Brazil. Not only everyone reports you when you're poor, but everything's expensive and the minimum wage sucks if you ever try to find a job.

Hurr, /jp/ is the board with the most NEETs percentage-wise, so asking about NEETs is so totally on-topic.

Not. Reported for more of your usual /r9k/ BS.

Depends on what country you're surveying. Scandinavian countries usually report moderately high depression rates, usually attributed to stress building up from excessive work.

Just showing a picture probably won't do much, but I think you'd be giving them quite a lot to work with if you're one of the more obsessive 2d lovers. An adult man who treats objects and/or pictures like romantic interests sounds pretty serious.

What is the average in the US? I'd hate to work in the US you get like a week or two off. That's fucking insane.

5 weeks is a much better number. That's still only 5 not working out of 52 working.

I think we get around the same in Ireland as Germany.

It depends on the job though, of course. Some jobs won't to see your face that much.

>> No.3518840

>>3518800

There's not really any point getting disability over dole. You might get one or two extra benefits but it's not work faking shit for. Also it kind of cheapens things for the people who really need it. I'm of the opinion that people shouldn't be forced to work anyway, but our society isn't really set up to support that at the moment.

Welfare payments are around £50-60 I believe. In Ireland they're much better, you get around €203 a week, plus rent allowance and other benefits if you can get it. However, the cost of living is insanely high so it still makes it difficult to have hobbies. You wouldn't be buying many animu DVDs on that given they cost €35 or so each here.

I live in Canada but I don't think there's a standard in either country. It seems like in Europe it's a government thing like you are given that vacation amount no matter what whereas in North America it depends on the job I think.

5 weeks is legal in France.

Bijstand sucks because you have the duty to look for work. Me, I got Wajong, which is WAO for when you're younger than 27, I think (but you can receive it indefinitely, just as long as you "applied" before you became 27). You need to have some illness to be accepted, of course. I'm suffering from OCD and sleeping disorders, and that was enough to get it (and rightfully so, since it means I am not (yet) able to work). If you are afraid to go outside, etc. (i.e. a REAL hikki) don't forget to ask what you are legally entitled to. This only applied to the Netherlands, of course.

>> No.3518900

>>3518888
Dammit this sounds fine if not a little lazy. I'd just move to the Netherlands with family that lives there but Assen was kind of boring.

>> No.3518951

>>3518900
I think most Anons should apply for this. We're not NEETs because we're lazy, usually. That's what we get told and we start to tell ourselves that and feel bad about ourselves not doing anything productive, but if you really start questioning yourself WHY you don't do something, like going out: do you just don't do it because you're lazy, or isn't there some other reason? Aren't you just really afraid to go outside? If that's the case, you shouldn't tell yourself you're being "lazy" when you don't go outside. Because it's not the same for you as it is for normal people. Going outside isn't a big objective to them as it is to you, so it's not fair if you should be held to the same standards as them.

And it's not like I'm unproductive at all times, I don't just watch anime or plays games (actually, haven't done either in months), I have my own little "projects" that I work on and I try to learn stuff that interests me. And I LIKE doing work, especially if it interests me, sitting at home all day just sleeping and doing nothing is fun for a while, but it is definitely not fun to do it for years on end. That's why I'm working on getting better (seeing shrink, etc.) and hope to eventually find work where I'll be able to be productive without being hindered by my problems.

Work is nice, it's nice to be recognized for what you do, instead of just feeling like a leech on everyone.
