Of course I know that there are people who are not NEET's but still RP and have a social life. I was referring to the majority of people who RP as a generalization as any single person who RP's spends a large amount on the internet during the process of it.
I personally don't mind being social on the internet and chatting with other people over an internet communication program, such as team speak or Voice talk or whatever.
I think it has to do with anonymity. NEET's have no problem chatting up web boards or with people they don't know but shy away from real life visitation or actually having to communicate with people they know in real life on the web.
EDIT: Generally though, NEET's would be considered social recluses who spend a majority of the time over the internet. They also likely always fall into the MMO or Gaming community so there is that as well.
Really though from a Psychological standpoint, being a NEET is understandable though as its a way of thinking and coping with the real world. Granted its not the healthiest of choices nor is it looked upon in a positive light, but I digress.
There is just alot of different psychological and social influences and subjects that come into play here, as RP is very complex as you assume the role of someone who isn't you, throwing away you're own identity to give life to the one you're role-playing without you're real self influencing the actions of the said character and the said characters don't have an influence on you in real life, a complicated and trying task if one ever needs to say so but that goes without saying.
