This used to bother me to, but after awhile I stopped giving a fuck.
But I might as well get this out my system:

NEET's can go outside and aren't necessarily socially anxious; they are simply "Not currently enrolled in employment, education, or training"
Hikikomori are socially anxious shut ins, with very few interactive interests. Stop using the terms interchangeably; one does not necessarily imply the other. Stop deriving your own deluded definitions from "Welcome to the NHK!" newfags.

HEY GUYS WHAT IF WORDS CARRY OTHER CONNOTATIONS IN ADDITION TO THEIR LITERAL MEANING, PARTICULARLY IN CERTAIN PLACES AND CONTEXTS

MAYBE THERE'S A REASON WE'RE ALL USING "NEET" INSTEAD OF "UNEMPLOYED"

PERHAPS THERE'S SOME LINK--AT LEAST ON /jp/--BETWEEN BEING A NEET AND BEING A SHUT-IN
SO IT'S PERFECTLY REASONABLE THAT IF SOMEONE ON /jp/ SAYS THEY'RE A NEET, YOU ASSUME THEY'RE A WAPANESE ASOCIAL AUTIST WHO COLLECTS LITTLE GIRL TOYS AND PLAYS PORN GAMES, DESPITE NONE OF THESE BEING IN THE CRITERIA FOR "NEET"

but most hikkis are NEETs as well.
i think a NEET is still a good term, unless you try to imply all NEETs are shut-ins.

besides, hikkikomori implies there's a problem with the act of leaving your room. a NEET may have no problem with leaving his room, nor engaging in some amount of social interaction when he does, but simply choose to stay there, because he does not enjoy the outside world.

Do you people even know what NEET stands for?

Not employed educated or trained.

A person's social ability has nothing to do with it. Someone who goes out to parties, gets laid and does drugs everyday can be a NEET.

Holy fuck.

>>9352321
You're wrong. I'm hikikomori and the longest I've stayed in is 5 months. I had a night job that required no social interaction. I needed the job to survive. I would sleep, eat, fap, engage in my interests, and then go out to work around 10PM and get back around 4-5AM and repeat.

You're trying to cherry pick specific aspects of NEET and force it into a definition it doesn't really mean. Many hikkis may be NEETs but barely any NEETs are hikkis. Old retired people are NEETs, Occupy protestors are NEETs, half of Spain and most of Africa is NEET.

That's close, actually. That term started as a typical substandard british imperial over-generalization, coined due to their culture's drastic over-reliance on football and alcoholism to maintain social class/caste distinctions.

I've been practically living at home, no job, no studies for a year now and hell if I identify myself as a hikki or a NEET. I do go outside for around 2-4hrs per week, which is why I said practically, not that any of you needed to know or asked. But I just wanted to say it.

how does it make me wrong? i said not all hikkis are NEETs.


i think you all misunderstood me.
what i really meant is, it's ok to call yourself a NEET if you're both NEET and a hikki, or NEET who stays a lot in his room, but has no problem going outside. i don't think you should specify you're hikki if you don't feel like it.

i didn't mean to say that NEET=Hikikomori, or that all hikkis are NEETs, or all NEETs are hikki, or you can call yourself a NEET when you had a job, or something like that.

Which brings us to this: are hikkis antisocial or just avoidant?

>> No.9352613

>Hikkis are shut ins, they typically don't have jobs/aren't in education but it's definitely possible; e.g. working from home, at home college, etc. They prefer not to go outside and usually avoid in real life social interactions.
>NEETs aren't in education, employment or training. Of course they can be shut ins because of the lack of things to do, but they can still have friends or doing other social interactions regularly/enjoy going outside/looking for a job or college to attend/etc.
Is it really that hard, guys?

Just because you have no close friends doesn't mean you're a hikikomori if you're going to college or working at subway, kids.
