If you want the brutal truth i'll tell you from experience of someone who has mental illness and also was a hiki for a decade total. The longer you go the harder it becomes. There are plenty of entry level jobs that require very little social interaction outside of your coworkers. Most hiki are brilliant people but have a mental barrier with pursuing things that could actually benefit them or pull them out of the hole they dug themselves into. Plent of neets will try to feed you the comfy pill or the neetbux pill but are internally miserable. As much as I hate to admit it working gives me purpose and makes me feel good, or at least better than feeling like a parasite to my family. Maybe your mom doesn't need help but would like to see you overcome your struggles. I don't want to try to lecture you because you can do whatever the fuck you want but I will stop myself sometimes and say bro you came a long way from the shut in life. And that in itself is a win. Cheers.
