What I know is that NEET stands for Not in Education, Employment, or Training, and refers to young people who get money from the government for doing basically nothing, and who are considered a drain on society. Anime got linked to these because they often (but not always of course) spend a lot of their time indoors watching anime. Rascal Does Not Dream Of Bunny Girl Senpai's MC's younger sister Kaede would be, imo, a good opinion of a shut-in who is not a neet, since she spends all of her days inside, but for medical reasons.

thank you so much for saying that.
then does that mean as neet can't earn and usually have basic education, does that also mean what clarie said about them is true?

As far as I know NEET is considered to have pretty negative connotations. It's not so much that NEETs *can't* make money or be in school, it's that they *won't*. You can always better yourself, and what I know of Japanese culture is that you should always strive to do so and be a contributing member of society, but NEETs are the ones who actively avoid doing so. Their level of education is quite unrelated to it - if someone has a PhD and is not using it and just spending all of their days at home watching porn (so to speak) when they could be out working (so not if they actually *can't* work, of course) they're a NEET just as well. That being said, yes, most NEET are young people in their early twenties who chose not to do anything when out of school.

i understand it completely now
but we should give those young adults some time to decide what they want to do with their future and i don't think this is very bad but thank you for explaining it to me

I'm not an expert on the subject, but I know at least Japanese (and Asian in general) culture allows for far less 'coasting' than Western culture.

that's not something i am familiar with
and i usually see many punks around me trying to get their like straight after doing someone stupid and taking time
 
Looks like there are many people who are familiar with Japanese culture here
I have been reading about kimonos, tea ceremonies and other traditions
 
Obon festival
It's a unique festival and I came to know about it because of Sangatsu no lion anime
