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
Yeah, exactly
i feel this on a spiritual level lol (not virgin v chad but talking to ppl and making normie friends)
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?"
Yeah, like all skills you get better by practicing it. Fuck it up? Yeah that happens don’t make the same mistake again.
let me correct my statement its not that i cant talk to people but my perspective on life makes it hard to relate to people outside my small circle of people from specific subcomunities it always feels like talking to aliens i can pretend to be one no problem but i'll never be one
Step 1: Be honest about how nervous and awkward you are. It really busts up the pressure and things will get a little easier.
Also there is an 80% chance that they are just as nervous and awkward.
I don't mind guys being awkward if they are at ease with it - I know this sounds like a contradiction but it's not. I have dated guys who were, by the world's standards, not outgoing or social or great at conversation, but who were clever as fuck, good in bed, and thoughtful, and not so entirely wrapped up in themselves.
Employment though - my personal experience is that guys (the ones I have known) need to work or they get focused on threats, real or imagined, to the exclusion of all else.
