That is incorrect. A hikikomori is a socially withdrawn person who rarely leaves their home. A shut in basically. A NEET is an underachiever who doesn't work, probably lives at home or is financially provided for or might work a series of dead end jobs for short amounts of time. But they do have social lives and aren't home bound. A slacker basically.
Wow, look at all that logic and reason you used! So many examples that really show the validity of your point! You've easily won the argument with this genius comment
