610,000 middle-aged people living as hikikomori in Japan (

Recently a new government survey reveals the reality of middle-aged hikikomori between 40 to 64 years of age in Japan who still live in their rooms and depend on their parents who are between 54 to 83 years of age.

I thought hikikomori meant someone who didn't socialize at all. Like they worked and could provide for themselves, but they completely isolated themselves from every single person possible to the point of death. Wasn't there a movement some time ago to combat this by sending people to these homes to give them company?

When the parents die from old age inside the home, it's not uncommon for the children to just leave the bodies to rot.

The death goes unreported. Maybe to keep pension checks coming.

No hikikomori is actually a type of shut-in a Neet who does not leave their bedroom inside their parents house for 6 months.

Jesus Christ Jap parents are total pussies. I would dropkick my son on the street in an instant. Get a fucking job

A full on Reich room, that's rad. I personally would have left the swastikas off the throw pillows.

imagine the smell...

Shut the fuck up at least they love their kids unlike you plus hikikomori are mentally ill.

Why does Hikikimori mean that you also need to have a dirty stinky room with garbage everywhere? I Hikikimoried for a stretch of time, but everything was spotless and pristine. Hikikimori can actually be very beneficial for philosophizing and travelling inside your psyche.

>Hikikomori is similar to the social withdrawal exhibited by some people with autism spectrum disorders, a group of disorders that include Asperger syndrome, PDD-NOS and "classic" autism

Not all hhikikomori are men some are girls too.

It's more to do with shame than actual love.

No excuse for the trash. I don't care or blame you if you don't like looking at your own country these days however

Because their manlet "fathers" aren't doing their jobs. I would stab my sons legs in his sleep if he lived like a pig.

>Why does Hikikimori mean that you also need to have a dirty stinky room with garbage everywhere?

It doesn't that is the stereotype.

Who cares about women. All they have to do is install a dating app and they will have a paying partner in 3 weeks.

"Stab legs" is this a regional expression?

>Who cares about women. All they have to do is install a dating app and they will have a paying partner in 3 weeks.

Go back to Jow Forums incel.

No, it's a family tradition. My dad stabbed me once in the thigh because I wasn't listening.

kek what so he stabbed you while asleep

it means a shut in.

Show your flag Finland.

I half believe that it's a natural phenomenon really, especially within white and asian cultures, possibly some others, that was formerly exhibited through monastic pursuits, hermitages, etc. Now with the collapse of general faith in religions those well-established and accepted routes are cut off and aberrations occur.

No I was sitting.

Okay anybody who says shit like this is a retard do some god damn research it is not a direct translation to shut-in it means to pull inward isolation in ones room by definition is an extreme form of puling inward a shut-in who stays home most of the time but still goes out to work is not a hikikomori a hikikomori is a specific type of shut-in and all hikikomori are neets who leech off their parents (Unless they somehow are able to work online) they dont leave their rooms not their homes in general plus Japan already has its own words for shut-in and recluse.

why would he shit in a bucket have you seen a japanese toilet?

Can't even remember why, can remember pulling the knitting needle from my thigh and my mother putting a shit tier bandage on it. Healed up nice though.

I think it is nothing but a biological response that is psychological in nature; a response to the way 21st century societies are being structured; some humans are not accepting.

this shouldn't be /comfy/, but it is

Literally me....

Hikkis are mostly autistic, it isn't completely their fault but their parents certainly aren't helping.

youtu.be/wE1UIK85E3E

>Literally me....

Why are you one?

Japanon here. Asahi is a known left-wing newspaper that always post anti-Japan shit. It's like the Washington Post of Japan.

Severe social anxiety keeps me from getting a job, stuck in my house for years. I'm soon going to start trying to fix it though, tired of this life... its the most depressing thing.

I think it's actually an environmental pressure that's causing people to become autistic or something.

Like the human tribe/superorganism knows there are too many people in an area and shuts off the social parts of these people's brains because they are unnecessary to the tribe. Definitely some kind of epigenetic weirdness.

>Severe social anxiety keeps me from getting a job,

Last time i checked hikikomori are hikikomori because they have experienced mental and emotional trauma from society as a whole as well as their upbringing and childhood growing up they are not in isolation because of a disorder they already have.

where the fuck do i get one of those lamps?

I believe this has to do with intelligence and ability. Intelligent enough to think. ability to be dependent. I believe at first its curiosity on how far you can push the boundaries (like a kid pretending to be sick to avoid school) eventually with no consequences or real consequences it turns into a blending cycle meaning day night mon-fri the weekends it all means nothing its just one day so you sit there and watch people day in day out complaining about the same things over and over thinking of the same things over and over that begin to understand them as tools void of connection with themselves perfectly tuned for compulsive work. work all their lives to only keep working they tried to do everything right but failed always work=money=family=happy but work sucked and never made enough family with a mediocre wife and a lame son daughter that either needed more attention or money for success but as much as you tried something was always wrong. so you they see all this and decide why not just milk it and worry about problems when they come because they will come no matter its just a matter a time. poor parents but they created the monster. smart enough to give up but too stupid to profit.

Yes. Both mentally ill and in denial and want other people to pay for their shit. They dont contribute and everyone just not only normies think theyre cringe.

you’re right, the pillows would look better in solid red

can confirm, know a bunch of Japanese lefties and they always post Asahi articles attacking Japan for this and that

They are the real humans, that have withdrawn from a fallen world, populated by sub-human morons. The West is going this way also.

Japanese society is going to suffer greatly because of this. The great die off is approaching and they're going to get hit hard just as hard as China.

This is what happens when you take every mans hopes and dreams away. What this entails is going to be interesting.

Then phenomenon has came to Europe/US. We call them "NEETs" and they're growing more and more popular. There are many factors, their parents enable it though. If I had no full time job and wasn't going to school, my parents would kick me out. Anyway in their early 20'sits all fun and games playing video all day, eating tendies, jerking off and watching youtube but as you get older and realize you wasted the prime of your youth hiding from the real world and there is no going back, most end in suicide.

I haven't left my house in 7 years.

This happens in the west too.
And if you add in people who work part time jobs for pocket money but still leech off their parents and have 0 reproductive prospects, the number is at least 5x higher

The only difference is the Japs have an actual word for it.

I'm kind of like these guys... maybe slightly less extreme. But I don't see a lot of point in going out of the house any more.

>Then phenomenon has came to Europe/US. We call them "NEETs" and they're growing more and more popular.


Not all Neets are shut-ins a Neet can still go outside and have a social life Neet and hikikomori are not exactly the same even though there is some overlap.

Any old schoolers remember this jewel....

Those are called Freeters not hikikomori hikikomori dont work unless its online at home but usually the majority of hikikomori are Neets.

they have 130 mil people and middle aged can be from 40 - 60. your not a senior citizen until you can draw on retirement benefits

but at a meager 610k that looks a lot better than americas 30% of millenials. i will argue this is because they arent in a trade war and the construction effort for olympic construction has offset unemployment

Did you get a PhD in N/FEETdom?

How do you buy toilet paper?

>I haven't left my house in 7 years.


Hikikomori is not not leaving your house its not leaving your room.

>Did you get a PhD in N/FEETdom?


I have been researching Neet and hikikomori for years.

I'll shop...I go out very day to get a bite to eat, I just don't interact with people much... Don't talk to people for sometimes months (other than parents on the phone once twice a month)

I used to do a 9-5, but I find my state of mind is better in isolation.

You are retarded for thinking they are similar in any way.

There's no way porn and hentai aren't majorly responsible for this. Notice how most are men, too.

He didnt even bother putting the bottle caps back on.. absolute madman

He's got more important things to do

I haven't left my room in 5 years

Where do you get money for your toilet paper?

Are you in Toronto? Do you want a friend?

>There's no way porn and hentai aren't majorly responsible for this. Notice how most are men, too.


Ughhh no user its Japanese society as a whole.

100% chance this is a druggie
When I was an EMT I went to a call where a druggie with diabetes had uncapped insulin syringes littered all over the floor

Well I've been there. 6 months sounds like a long time but time just starts flying by once you get into it. I've been a NEET for 4-5 years straight and after a while you just stop caring about everything.
You just don't have any drive to do anything or compete at anything so you stop bothering.
From outside it seems like these people are filthy etc. but when you live like this these things just don't phase you anymore.
You also start to see how dishonest most wagecucks are and under constant pressure.

The only people who try in life are those who are too dumb to navigate the internet to find good porn.

Nah. It's just a person that doesn't care anymore. You can't understand this if you have only ever lived in a proper way.
It's like talking to a normie but instead of shitposting you stop cleaning up your shit.
