A Neet, an acronym for "Not in Education, Employment, or Training", is a person who is unemployed and not receiving an education or vocational training.

I’m new here so I’m not really sure if this is the right place to post things like this. But, I don’t really have much of a choice. Back on Reddit there were subs like r/NEET and r/hikikomori for people with conditions like me, and those were the only places I felt I belonged and was understood by my people. Yet, unfortunately, I was permanently banned from Reddit, like site wise. So I signed up for lemmy and was looking for a community similar to r/hikikomori but it seems there’s none 🥲. Okay, so I’m here. I’m not sure if this place works the same as the subs so if I made any mistakes I apologize in advance. I’m just dying to express myself a little online since I’ve been forbidden to talk for so long I feel like a drowning man. It’s especially unbearable for someone like me, isolated from the world, with no one irl to talk to. Thank you.

Thank you so much😭Are you a NEET/ hikikomori too? Are there any communities you’d recommend for people like us?

Lots of us lemmies are not in employment, education or training... But they may not realize it as their identity

Oh yeah, that’s true. Though, I’m just looking for a community where socially withdrawn people/ shut-ins/ hikis support each other like that of r/hikikomori.

I've just seen your post and wanted to give you a welcome. But I'm sure you will find a community here.
