If physical or mental health issues bar you I’d consider that different. I never really understood how you can live your life being a NEET. Its a term I’ve known about for awhile but only recently remembered was a thing. Do you have bills? Do you have autonomy in general? Whats the living situation look like? Is the term offensive? I have a ton of questions really. Not here to shit on anyone I’m just full of curiosity on this one.
Retired?
I’d consider that different. The term is more commonly applied to individuals who have never participated in the job market, academia or trades. Or at the very least in a limited and temporary capacity.
It’s a popular term in anime. I think of it more like a gap year that never ends or something like that
