    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.

      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”.

      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.

      It’s a skill like anything else. It comes easier to some, harder to others, and it can be improved through repeated effort, exposure, and experience over time.

      Small talk is a good low risk situation that can give you opportunity to practice.

      Also, not living in the same place too long so you don’t build up a reputation of being awkward and oh god they know they all know I’m just a hairless chimp in a human suit why did I think this was a good idea oh shit oh fuck what do I say–

      “I’m doing good, how about you?”
