How does one find employment as a early to mid 20s NEET with social anxiety, no college degree, and no talents or skills

What's a chill job someone in my position of a talentless NEET with social anxiety and mild autism could work?

Or are people like myself just shit out of luck? I'm sure there has to be something out there but I don't know what to do or even where I should be applying.

nigga really wants me to feel sad listing all his problems, go onto a job program they will babysit you which you definitely need

>>82109909 (OP)
do you know what job you want? what jobs you won't do?

i got an online tutoring job.

many states and school districts also will let you be a substitute teacher without a college degree but you will need a high school diploma or equivalent. pay is $100-150 a day typically

I would prefer not to work any hard labor jobs but I will if I have to.

I'd like a job with minimal human interaction also, if possible.
Maybe one that isn't too demanding.

Other than that, I have no idea what else I want.

the minimal human interaction jobs that are entry level with no training are all hard labor like stocking or warehouse

security. it's basically being a professional neet. I draw, read comics, play video games, and watch youtube while at work, and it's no issue.
it depends though. some security job are REAL work, and even potentially dangerous. the chill ones are chill.

Night time security or is it a daytime job?

What do you have you guard?

>>82109909 (OP)
Some places will hire unarmed security guard without license where you guard places like empty buildings during construction or parking lots at night
But if you truly want to improve yourself you need a job that forces you to interact with people. Stop hiding being self depreciation and self-diagnosis for mental issues and get some actual help.

Some tips that will help your mentality. Don't tell other people your problems. Don't let prospective employees know you are a badly socialized adult you will just get passed over for any job candidate that can portray themselces as normal. Truly anyone lacking the good sense to lie to their employer would be a shit employee.
Lets change your mindset. You don't have social anxiety, you are excited about meeting new people. You aren't a NEET, you are a clean slate ready to learn new skills in a new field because college was not for you. When you talk about your problems you maximalize them in your head and they become excuses that keep you trapped in life.

How do I stop doing this though? Not OP but my head is full of retarded self-defeating tragic thoughts and countless memories of shitty experiences. My inner state is a dumpster fire. I'm scared of even being optimistic.

>>82110304
When I try to interact with people I just get treated like shit and used for laughs. When you're late 20s and socially retarded people aren't even patient anymore they just treat you like shit.

How do I even save myself at this point? I'm a hard worker, well-meaning but I'm also retarded and socially inept and things never go well for me. I think if I had gone to autismo therapy early on or something I could've avoided this.

I'm the above poster but this post is spot on. Keep much as your life private as you can and be as professional as you can. Even if you don't have coworkers, not greeting people you see that work in the same place is enough to raise red flags when it comes to etiquette (people will look at you in a bad way)
Come prepared for interviews. Even for entry level stuff like a security guard they might ask you hypothetical questions about how would respond, or information about the job in advance (like can you write a security report, are you willing to get CPR/first aid certification)

Glad you asked. Your personal beliefs can change. Maybe you've had opinions about things that have changed over time. Some of your beliefs are self limiting, and you have to make a conscious effort to recontextualuze them when they arise. Example: your opinion of your own mental state being bad, may be realistic but shows good self-analytical skills and means you are equipped to improve. So you should think if it as a temporary shortcoming that you are working on and you can take pride in knowing it won't always be this way if you work at it. Its hard but possible, no tricks that I know of.

In a workplace all you really need is a greeting. Like good morning when somebody walks in (even if you don't know them or work with them). You don't need to ask how their family is or whatever, I work in finance and I always greet people in warehouse even though I don't know their name or them personally
Also, stop saying your socially autistic and shit. You're a hard worker? Well so is everybody else that came to apply for a job. If you say you're retarded in a job interview nobody will hire you even out of pity. My advice is to first polish up a resume, researching no experience resumes. It'll look super basic but you don't have any experience. Try to tailor it to your type of job applications (customer service, warehouse, etc). From there research basic interview questions, like tell me about yourself why should we hire you etc and practice in front of a mirror. You're not going to improve your social ability by guarding a lot at night by yourself, at least try applying for a cashier at a gas station at night so you have some interaction.
Also, don't try on being optimistic at first. At least for me I have always tried to be less pessimistic. Instead of saying I can't do it, I would always try to emphasize patience to myself and that things take time. Change happens slowly, you're not going to waltz out of bed a changed person. You can do 10000 situps in a day you're not going to have a 6 pack next morning. Same applies with everything else
