there’s a group of people glorifying it, because they don’t give a shit and might as well not work while doing that.
however, i had enormous amounts of money during parts of my life and i enjoyed not having a job and just do whatver tf i want a lot. some of the best years of my life.
Having freedom and drive to do whatever you want is great, even if that means you spend a bunch of time just fucking about and getting high and watching TV.
On the other hand, a lot of the people that are dropping out like this are actually just depressed. They look like they’re doing the same thing, but they’re actually just self medicating and it sucks for them.
For some of these people, getting up and out the house, being forced to do a bit of exercise, and talk to people can help with minor depression.

NEETS don’t have any money while doing it. Don’t compare yourself to them.

They may be glorifying it to cope but actually feel miserable.
Yeah that seems like the most likely scenario
I think that’s the big difference. I’d love to do self guided projects and adventures. What I don’t want is to sit around too damn broke to go out
What was the “however” intended to mean in this?
It means a hiatus from work can be nice and you’re technically unemployed, so there’s a lot of grey areas IMO
