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:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If I'm not wrong, NEET = Not in Employment, Education, or Training

Anon felt bad about being a leech off of society so he slicked his hair back and learned how to ride a skateboard, and is wondering why he still feels like a NEET.

Yeah, anon is still technically a NEET. That was my first thought, but then I noticed you forgot to mention the dancing. Maybe anon became a professional dancer and that's how they make a living now? Somehow, I kinda doubt it though.

That's what NEET technically means, but it's taken on a greater meaning (especially on 4chan) of "person who lives in their parents basement well past the age it's socially acceptable, has no social skills/is actively antisocial, has poor personal hygiene, and rarely (if ever) leaves the house".

So a NEET in America is really what a Hikikomori is in Japan
