Being a NEET is better than being a functional member of society

At least when I was a NEET, I didn't have any responsibilities. I didn't have any anxiety. I didn't have severe depression. I was able to just relax and do whatever I wanted every day. I know people are going to say that contributing to society is better, because you are being independent and not relying on your parents for income. But if your parents are fine with doing it, why is it an issue? There's always the point of "Well what's gonna happen when your parents die", and yeah in that case you can inherit the house from your parents. I have tried so many times to hold down jobs, to go to school, and all I get out of it is nothing. How am I a contributing member of society when my job is meaningless stocking in a grocery store, I don't have a high enough intelligence to succeed in university, and I can't function socially.
