I am once again asking:

What am I supposed to do as a jobless talentless 20 something year old NEET with social anxiety and no skills or degree?

Or what are some chill jobs for a NEET in my position? I live in Texas if that matters.

Someone suggested a 9-5 office job but I wouldn't even know where to begin looking. Any advice at all?

Get a plastering course and work as a plasterer if you're tall. Or look for plumbing apprenticeships.
I know you're probably thinking that involves working with others and socializing but not necessarily, depend on who the clients are and you can pick that yourself to a certain extent when you pick your employer or work independent.
If you've been driving a little while you might be able to do that in some form but i would look at plastering and plumbing first.

probably night shift stocking in grocery stores like walmart,target etc. theres minimal customer interaction, repetitive work, and usually flexible hours.
-Warehouse work like Amazon UPS nd FedEx . more physical, but usually just you and tasks
-Janitorial/cleaning jobs, often solo work in the evenings/nights.

a 9-5 job isnt impossible either but that’s usually easier once you have some work history

At my job, the most NEET-compatible position would be the night time security guard.
>Basically sit at a desk all night and look after an empty facility.
>No expectations other than going for a walk every 4 hours.
>No one will know that you're playing Vidya on the clock.
>You get to poop in the boss's bathroom if you want.
>Getting certified is super easy.
The downside is that you don't get paid too much, and there's not too much room for advancement.

I was a NEET friendless shutin from 15-23
do what >>33575440 said and pick a trade. In the long term you will be better off compared to stocking shelves for the rest of your career.
It was hard to begin with but it gets easier.
Any free course or volunteer work will help with the anxiety over time.
Find your local manufacturing area and pick a street a week to walk down and apply to. All you need area jeans, a T and ideally boots. A cap and sunglasses are recommended, but take them of when you enter.
You got this, good luck bro

The other guys nailed it. Pick up a trade. Watch some videos on public speaking. Check out an old college textbook on the subject from your local lobrary. Record yourself reading aloud scripts on simple conversations, watch them, and compare notes with the books & videos on how you can improve. Volunteer locally and be honest about lacking social skills, and you're looking to improve. They'll give you experience in talking with all sorts of people while you do good in your community. Also looks good on a resume.
If you want an in to an office position, look for internships. Most are shitty and unpaid, but if you're polite and don't start shit they result in practical experience and references to slap onto a resume for the job hunt. Some result in a direct hire, but don't get your hopes up.
T. Ex neet. In my mid 30s now and this is what worked for me.
