Is this how being a neet feels like? Is this how the neet's family sees him? A useless bug?

I see it more as being about a handicapped/sick/old person.
Gregor wanted to go out and do things for his family, a neet just wants to stay at home because he's either a pussy or doesn't give a frick. They're not the same.
If a neet metamorphosed, he'd turn into a giant tick that feeds on his family's blood.
most neets dont want to be neets, they just feel like they cant be anything else

>Is this how the neet's family sees him? A useless bug?
Yes. Source: my family.
Neet here. Yes, kind of. My mother has called me a parasite.
I always try to explain to my mother how it's entirely her fault and not mine that I'm alive (and therefore the responsibility to take care of me falls entirely on her shoulders), but she just doesn't get it. I tell her that she's the one who created the problem of a living being that needs food to survive, she tells me to get a job. How do I get it through her thick normalgay skull that the one who created a problem should be responsible for solving it, no matter how many years have passed?
In the novel Gregor was actually the provider for his whole family and his turning into a bug and becoming incapable of work is an allegory for professional burnout.
Was it a midlife crisis?
No it was an analogy for depression.
I recommended this read for a client because
>Gergor was a people-pleaser
He was the sole provider for his family and a doormat to his boss. He hated his job yet did it. His family wasn't appreciative and it's revealed later on that they even had a nest egg... and could have contributed.
This lead to a burn-out and depression (becoming the bug).
As it often happens with people pleasers codependents and so on, the people you're killing yourself for don't actually appreciate it and are using you.
His depression goes clinical and he basically in a way kills himself by starvation.
Family goes on relieved, and even does "better" proving that he did it all for nothing.
The client read it, had a breakdown and decided to distance herself from her abusive leeching family.
No he literally turned into a bug. Self-obsessed losers think it's about muh depression
this. the story is about the actual phenomenon that was occurring during that time in europe of men turning into bugs. it's amazing how many illiterates over look this obvious fact.
Pretty much this, it's well established in Kafka's tell-all book (A Bug's Life), which he published because he was pissed of all these midwit interpretations.
The joke is he's more horrified at "muh responsibilities that nobody appreciates anyway" than transforming into an abomination. Kafka has a lot in common with British comedians.
>be bread winner for your entire family
>become incapable of providing
>family soon starts to resent, and then hate you
>when you die your family is happy and relieved, with only a smidge of guilt that soon dissipates
Fricking depressing.
professional neet here, it is a good glimpse into neetdom but it’s not that bad. the book is a great metaphor for depression though you just feel like a joint out of socket
>you are worthless if you don't wageslave
Nah, being able to live off neetbux is better than giving your time to something you hate. My time is precious to me
Gregor's dad stole the money
Everybody ignores this but he stole it
