Do you have one?

Mine is knowing that I am going to be chained to the system of making money unless I wish to become homeless. I'll be forced to work. And that there is no coming back from it. Once I've decided to leave this cave, this is for life. Can you imagine an ex-NEET asking to move back in with the ones who enabled them the luxury, and continue doing what they did before for another few years? Anyway, this fear is pretty major. It robs someone of precious time, just because someone at the top decided to be a jerk and take everything for themselves. It's a cruel joke. I sincerely cannot see myself getting over it.

That being said, I often daydream of myself being born and raised in a tribe. In that scenario, I would not have a problem with doing work because it would make sense. Gathering food, making materials for everyone else, being in an intimate community that actually cares for each other, etc.

Same fear for me, I'm scared of the finality of it. You get a job and then your parents and society expect you to behave like a normal person and maintain the struggle for 40+ years.
I think I might have a problem with authority as well. A lot of middle managers, small business owners and such are narrow-minded, petty and mean. Someone like that is probably going to be in charge of you. It makes me angry before I've even begun.
I have a lot to say about work and our place in the world, but I'm tired. Might post a wall of text about it some time.

NEET is an exercise in trading comfort in the present for suffering in the future. It's to be expected.

Im on my best way to become sucessful in live.
The worst thing money only does so much for you.
I wish I could go back to being neet.

Being able to buy whatever you want is meaningless if you can´t enjoy it….due to time or stress.

I used to heavily deny that it must be this way, the money-making life. I used to think that when I grew up, I would figure out some magic scheme to raise me above the mercantile system. It was not so. I've noticed, from the countless people I've talked to, listened to, read about, all of them had a way of earning money, even the most seemingly otherworldly and carefree.

So, if this is inevitable, then I think that I should look to something that I will feel has value, something I like doing, or better yet, a combination of. Recovering from apathy is making it hard to see these things in my own life clearly. I don't know what I really enjoy and I don't know what I really value just yet.

I believe that if the combination is achieved successfully, an alarm clock will not be the sirens of doom that it is for the majority of people. But the majority of people are not doing the things they like or value, it makes sense, right?

there is one way out, but the problem becomes staying alive in the ~20 years until basic income is implemented.

I'm nearing the end of high school right now. Never dated a girl. Never had a kiss. The usual. So I have some wizard potential.

I've told my family that I am going to die alone but they don't believe me. I think they are in denial. My fear right now I believe is just the thought that I am going to die alone. Day in and day out the constant reminder that I will have no one. Reality. No waifu to save me like in NHK.

Why don't you get a job as a security guard? You sit on your ass for 8 hours doing what you normally do, play videogames and shitpost, and they pay you for it.

I live in a place with security. It looks soul-crushing. In that position, I would always be wishing for something greater.

It looks like it's either death as a NEET or total fulfillment of dreams.

Only one of these is even possible.

OP, I'd like to inform you of the existence of Financial Independence / Early Retirement. It's possible that by working hard, saving your money, cutting out unnecessary expenses (if you're a neet, you're most likely not very materialistic) and investing wisely (these investments are safe and are not to be compared to the risks involved with trading on the stock market) then after about ten to fifteen years of work, you can retire for good. Those ten to fifteen years will demand that you work relentlessly but it'll work and you'll get there.
