>God will never leave me nor forsake me
While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.

Examples of this sort of thing:
>being promised liberty
>finding slavery

>>81520569
real and practical example is picrel, if you got hit by a truck and were in a coma for a few months, It would probably be better than being a neet for the same period of time

>>81520575
>destroy productive years
>train you to be lazy
>become hikkikomori
>develop a worsening anxiety around people your age
>less ambitious
>less capable
>you'll have to start working at some point anyway, it'll just be with severe and extreme setbacks, like trying to get your first job at 27, having your interviewing manager be a 17 year old girl. It's bleak to the point where many people just choose suicide (I don't recommend it though).
>Obviously this means you'll never quite catch up to your peers
>Depressed and lonely during 18-21 (about this is what I've seen)
>Around 20: realization, extreme stress remorse, fear of starting (increases as you grow older).
You should look at NEETing with the same disgust that r9gay or the momcest threads over here trigger within you. It's equally retarded and dangerous because so many are fooled by it.

In general, separating from others in hopes of becoming productive is the worst plan in the entire world. As a teenager I let myself slowly spend more time here and less with my peers until I was a total outcast and mute, with some vague justification of becoming an animator and honing my craft. When you have friends to show off to, to roast and be roasted by, to engage with and to be kept "normal" by, you're happier, healthier, and a better potential partner for mates (women look at your social circle as a form of social proof). It also makes you more productive when there are people around you. Isolating myself held bigger consequences than I could comprehend at the time. Could I but warn my younger self, this would probably be one of the principle few I would try force myself to understand. If you're a young person be warned away from these things (isolation and "neeting"), even if you avoid the obvious snares of alcohol, criminal activity, etc it will ruin you.

>>81520659
Aside from telling my younger self to socialize with as many people his age as he could, and seeking employment as soon and often, and the obvious (giving him the Gospel to avoid hell),
>Trying to match asian kids in amount of time spent studying (e.g. at the library), as from what I've seen in my former peers career paths, the more studious are all better off for it, even in their early/mid 20s.
>Lift weights as early as possible is something else I would wish to program my younger self with, for a variety of reasons, mainly that your body will better develop if you do it younger.

>>81520695
So in general the five things I would change were
>Shirk Isolation by any means necessary
>Gainful employment as often as possible
>Get saved (video in OP explains how)
>Study more; try match asians
>Lift weights right this second, pushups do not cut it, no, not even diamond ones.
Young people (I assume) hold a general belief that things will end up better for them than the bad examples before and around them, even though the trajectory they follow is the exact same. One day they wake up and curse the past, and see the path before them rapidly arriving.
Also, any neet with a
>actually i'll be a famous musician/ artist/ game maker, etc plan
is stupid, and most will never do anything but amass materials and watch youtube videos about it. Successful indie examples like Ryukishi (game developer) often produced their first successful project while working.

>>81520716
Ryukishi also formed connections with the local Doujin circuit.
Sleepycast (boomer youtuber collaboration from back in the day) was formed because the members, despite being turbo online freaks were sociable and normal enough to get along with others.
Anyone with a band was sociable enough to form one
It become stranger the more one thinks about it, whenever a hikkikomori has artistic ambitions, it's counter-intuitive. Fix your social habits first and then you'll be stable enough, otherwise you're adding another 40 miles to a marathon for no reason.

That anon said to engage with others more a few threads ago, I'm still brainstorming this, I admit a lack of imagination in this case.
