American NEETdom is pretty foreign to me; there aren't many structurally unemployed people in my social graph, much less long-term NEETs I follow some self-professed NEETs on this site, but most of them seem really sharp, well-read, and socially observant if not well-adjusted

I wonder if these guys are representative of the 10 million NEETs in the US (this also seems like a weirdly large #) And would this mean that NEETs are disproportionately represented in the 1% of internet creators? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1%25_rule_(Internet_culture) …

NEETs on Twitter are almost certainly edge cases wrt propensity for online writing, but still... 293 million American internet users = ~3 million creators and if there are 10 million NEETs spending a disproportionate amount of time on the internet, it's not implausible

Interesting to dig into this from a psycho-analytic perspective. I find that a lot of this NEETdom comes from what TLP describes here: https://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2011/04/the_abusive_boyfriend.html …

It seems like NEETs are aware that their situation is bad, personally and socially But like TLP describes, they also seem to be plagued by insidious rationalization + resistance to change There's a lot of interesting first-hand stuff on r/NEEThttps://www.reddit.com/r/NEET/comments/b2tkbt/basic_tips_from_a_recovering_neet/ …
