>tfw no bedroom that's actually just a room with a bed That must be so nice to have a room that's so empty where you can go and be free of all distraction.
Andrew Anderson
What is he doing all day in a empty room? Why always asian guys are hikkis?
Isaac Taylor
I would guess that's not the only room in his house. Hikikomoris are an east Asian phenomenon because of the particular social pressures placed on people there; other places aren't quite so uptight.

This is true hikikomori does exist in other countries but it is not as common like it is in Japan.
Lucas Johnson

He probably only has a cell phone for entertainment or maybe it is a separate room attached to the other part of his bedroom.

Aaron Davis
>Am I Hikiko if I go out only to work out night entirely alone?
You mean like work out at the gym?
Nolan Hall
I think that makes you a shut-in, or a quasi-hikki I guess.
>i don't know where to start Literally anywhere. One step at a time. Here's a protip: the first step to getting anything done is breaking it down into as many bite-sized steps as possible in your head.
Liam Rogers
No, you're the average introverted normalfag.
Jose Parker

Samuel Morgan
I always start with my desk and then procrastinate the rest of the room forever. Then I scoop the laundry off the floor whenever I run out of clothes.
Jack Butler
Im gonna hazard a guess to say that asian males are the smartest, and with that intelligence comes the realisation that nothing is worth it - and since suicide takes such a huge effort, the only thing left to do is stay inside exerting the least amount of effort and risk.
William James
