Dear /Christian/

I wanted to know if someone feels the same way about what I'm going to tell you. I currently live with my parents at age 20 with no job. Whenever I receive a job opportunity, I develop an anxiety that ultimately inhibits me from accepting it. I believe this anxiety stems from a fear of disappointing others; just as people like to be seen as heroes, they don't like to be seen as villains, and perhaps I have a strong case of that kind of mentality.

Does anyone else feel the same or have some experience with this?

I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm afraid of failure.

I feel the same, but even long before I would receive an offer. There is this anchored feeling of anxiety, thinking my co-workers and employers will treat me like shit, and that I might not like the work at all, and all this into addition would cripple me mentally. All those hypotheticals I feel strongly about prevent me from doing anything productive in regards to job search. The advice I'd give you is one I've read from someone's conclusion about "Welcome to the NHK": at one point you have to swallow what you can get in order to stabilize and succeed for yourself, the furthest point will be when you hit rock bottom - your anxieties, at this point, won't matter at all to you anymore.

The sermon of Pastor Anderson on the "Bad example of Japan" straightened my thoughts out and make me realize that in life you have to eat shit and not expect anyone to help you to get out of your lethargic misery: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ro0KT8SA6Lc

I know how you feel. I'm 24 and attending college, but I know how it is to never try for fear of failure. I'm actually seeing a counselor about it (he's Christian). Going to try and get an on-campus job this week.

I used to be a neet for several years and here is what I think: To get out of NEETdom is simple. You need to find some purpose for yourself that engages you emotionally. You also need to work up enough hate for your current habits or you are not going to change as your current habits will become a sort of safe haven for you to retreat back to. But that's not really enough, you also need to take action to break your current habits, like going to church/forcing yourself to talk to people/do anything else than what you are currently doing. Physical exercise is excellent for this.

God commands you to love your neighbor as you love yourself, the presupposition is that you love yourself and take good care of yourself. Being a NEET is unbecoming of any man or woman and it almost exclusively means that you live in fear. When you live in fear Satan has you in his palm. You need to dig deep inside yourself to find the root cause of your rejection of society and then pray for the grace to overcome it.

Ask your doctor for some antidepressants.
