Alright so, I had a friend from grade school find me. Turns out he's grown up to be 100% NEET. We have some interests in common, categorically, but overall we're so dramatically different that idk how I'm gonna connect with this guy. My best friend thinks it's our moral prerogative to help him pick his life up, but idek if he wants help.
My question is, is it possible to cure a NEET? And how do you do it?

I've dealt with two NEETs in my life
One of them refused to do anything and constantly blamed everyone around him for his situation and always moaned how everyone but him had it easy
He's a lost cause
The other NEET just needed a kick in the ass and someone to discuss shit with because his mum and to a lesser extent dad coddled him and he just got too used to it.
He's turned his life around and became a great guy
If they seem like they are honestly willing to put in work and that they want to escape NEEThood, I don't mind being the support
If they sit there and blame everyone and everything and just come up with excuses, they're a lost cause and it will just piss you off trying to deal with them

And how I did it with the second guy was basically sit him down and ask him what he wanted to do and I wrote him up a small checklist so he could do some simple things, like get his driver's license, research some courses he would like to take in college and I found him some entry-level job opportunities
You almost have to hold their hand for the first few steps but if they don't catch on sooner than later, then back off and just let them figure it out
