This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

And a lot of them are simply taking advantage of their families and friends. If you identify yourself with a cutesy acronym that specifically describes how little effort you are putting into your life I refuse to take you seriously.
What the fuck are you even on about. When you think of NEETs do you only think of exaggerated greentexts, are you this split off from reality?
No, actually, I have an offspring who claims this label. They are smug about it in fact. They are not autistic, or disabled. They are goddamn lazy and content to let others take care of their every need. This is my experience with NEET. I wish them exactly what their choices in life return them. My disappointment was extremely heavy for a few years. That child had every opportunity, all the support and encouragement one could ask for. They are 25 years old now. This was their choice. I hate it for their SO who has been manipulated into accepting it and is now burdened by it. So, fuck you.
Using a single fuck up (your child) as your sole basis on what a NEET is is hilariously foolish. Many NEETs are struggling with emotional, mental, or societal issues. Your kid? If they're being smug, they aren't suffering at all. That's not a NEET (technically they are, but setting that aside), that's a fuck up you failed to correct.
