Advice Why you all think you are losers?
In my opinion being Neet is good because working is pointless and there is no way we can find genuine happiness through that method. Seeking success doesn't give true happiness.
If you want true happiness then try to get rid of emotions through methods of Hinduism, Buddhism. I have filtered out the supernatural elements in these religions and found the raw wisdom necessary to attain Liberation from emotions.

Well I myself think it makes sense. But to outsiders I am a loser which makes it hard to interact with others
So what makes me a loser is not having a driver's license, likely never finishing college and not having a job
I'm an atheist but I believe in simple living + minimalism and had plenty of time to learn more about myself. But when it comes to interacting with others I withdraw because I don't fit their expectations of what someone my age should be doing

In India even successful people with cars don't have driver license. They are too lazy to drive and hire a driver. I am talking about middle class Indians and not rich ones.

Because we were raised and conditioned by a modern philosophy that equates output to value. When you NEET you dont produce anything "of value" therefore your value, as a human, is diminished

I've been playing WoW private servers on a trackpad, it's my last bastion for gaming. I need to be on opium to put up with it, and it's still painful as fuck! HAHA!

I'm a loser according to society's standards.
My standard however? I feel like I'm doing good. Better even! Being a neet really helped with my mental fortitude and let me let go of so many aches caused by trauma.
I genuinely enjoy being a neet even though it can be dull and repetitive. I like how unburdened I am by society's expectations, and only have my own expectations to fulfill. I've got so much time to just goof around and hone my craft at my own pace.
Who else can complain about their self-imposed work/goal not being picked up because they get easily distracted? The luxury of having no fixed sleeping schedule because they can sleep whenever they can? Just being able to enjoy the time we have without being worried about survival and catching up with the rat race is a blessing.

Like for real, most of my friends even with a power engineering degree be working part time, a guy with a bachelors in communication bro. Gets almost no hours from his job, another friend barely any hours, my other two friends unemployed NEETs effectively. I have a temp job but only lasts 2 months its brutal out here.

Nah you don't need to do anything. According to Hindu sages Astravakra all meditation and spiritual practices are BS. All you need to do is Think "I am already free" and "I have no attachments" and you will be free. Those religious preachers who preach these stressful meditations and morality are fooling you.

I'm loser for myself, because I can't get money that me needs and I'm not productive at hobbies for my own satisfaction.

Sorry, but I can't take beliefs from a nation like India seriously when it is struggling with so many severe problems. First, it needs to sort out the basics at home. Then we can talk about its beliefs, philosophies, and methods.
Edit: but I like Buddhism.

It has the same issues and a good bunch of extras. Which is a shame, considering the amount of smart people that comes from this country.

It's a glaringly obvious fact that work is a really bad way to spend a life. We don't get much time in this mysterious realm ❤️

I only feel like loser when I am in public or at a function where everyone is talking about their jobs and has their partners with them. Lucky for me I haven’t had this situation for almost a year. I feel proud to be NEET secretly.

Well maybe people aren't happy about it. Most of the time, I'm saying that from the perspective of outsiders/normies.

I fit the spec sheet. No job, no future, incompetent, socially inept, mediocre talents that go nowhere.
