Why would a NEET lifestyle with no responsibilities, no deadlines, no job or money stress and tons of free time end up feeling worse than working a job where you've got stress, exhaustion, and barely any free time?

you crave what you don't have

It's sort of a damned if you do damned if you don't kind of thing. I've been on both sides. Right now work provides me with a decent income but it's stressful and it eats away my whole goddamn day. Whereas when I was a NEET I'd have lots of free time, but I was a poorfag (for Danish standards).
Those who have the best of both worlds (so max free time yet loads of disposable income) are the ones who have won at life.

Remember, when you're a neet, you're basically a useless piece of shit, with no place in society. Regular people consider you to be worse than a nigger. That's gotta be wearing.

not necessarily true. you can always do things to help out your community with your free time. I like to walk around town and pick up litter. people have told me that im appreciated

It doesn't happen.

Working is completely useless.
When you don't work you can read a book or you can read 4chan
Or you can get invaluable experience of living through medieval times in kingdom come deliverance.
Work drones are boring.

true, you are actually a national hero

for reasons which used to be self-evident but have now become foggy & mired in newspeak

but on the other hand, you can have a hellish job or a comfy job
likewise you can have a hellish neet existence or a comfy one

it depends on factors of individual cases

i saw a meta analysis around 2018 which measured subjective happiness with income
it seemed to correlate up to around $60,000 per person, but beyond that the two weren't correlated, you wouldn't get much happier with more income & sometimes it went down
so it's probably better to have money than not, from a psychological standpoint
your best bet is probably to throw shit at the wall and see what sticks, just look for job after job until you find a decent one, don't commit too hard to any specific one
>>
>>24477854
You will drift away from your friends and peers, who grow and adapt into adult lives and have less and less ability to relate with you
The people in your life who support you will come to resent you whether they express it or not
Being a neet locks you into arrested development. You won’t meet people and grow and change like everyone else does.
