Why are you a hikikomori Jow Forums? what caused you to end up in isolation?


>Hikikomori

>Hikikomori is a Japanese term when translated into English it means pulling inward being confined (acute social withdrawal) in context of a person the term refers to a shut-in who stays home and lives in isolation in their room for 6 months or more

>Most hikikomori are neets and are supported by their parents or get money from the government however if you work or take classes online at home while still not going outside you are still a hikikomori but not a neet

>The Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare of Japan defines hikikomori as those who have lived in isolation in their bedrooms for at least 6 months do not attend school or leave to go to work have no physical injury or mental disorder as the cause of their isolation have no close friends or few friends (If any) and do not communicate with people besides the people they live with such as family members

Keep discord gunjy teenage larping edgy shit out of this thread.

i fucken hate discord so much

>i fucken hate discord so much

Me too.

>i go outside constantly for food and doctor but i'm a hikki lol

a hikikomori can go outside in-fact the majority do.

>i fucken hate discord so much

Discord is for niggers

Been a hikki for pretty much a year and a half, enjoying the benefits of neetbux and about to go on dsp so I'll be getting double of what I have now. The next time I leave the house is when I see my psychiatrist and hopefully he puts me on benzos for my panic attacks, till then alcohol and interwebz is all I have

I only go to the doctor once a year.

I have to have check ups every once in a while to see if my mental health is doing ok, also if the medication is working and having the desired effect

I am isolated for the most part
the reason is the fact that there is nothing for me to gain socially
i am a former obese fag whose lost 70kg and is left with a blanket of loose skin that i am trying to tighten in the gym
almost 1 year in
still there and still disgusting
losing weight is a meme

a hikikomori doesn't go to the gym you fag.

What have you been diagnosed with user?

If you seriously lost 70 whole kg then you have a hell of a sense of self-respect.

I posted it in yesterdays thread but schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder, the reason why I have to be seen regularly is because I'm on anti-psychotics one of which I take via injection. I only recently saw this new psychiatrist and he prescribed me different shit from what I'm use to, so they just have to see how well I adjust

none whatsoever
i got to 10% bf, but as soon as I take my shirt off people's rection is: how can you be both skinny and fat? happened to me when I was shopping for clothes and my t-shirt accidentally went all the way up with my hoodie. woman said: i thought you were not fat, but now i see.

fuck stupid japanese terminology, i couldn't care less

>Goes to the the gym a large crowded place with a lot of people who can see you
>Willingly leaves his home regularly and interacts with people and enjoys it

Fuck off you're not a hikikomori they dont leave their rooms stop appropriating a physiological condition.

Psychological i meant.

i go to the gym at 4 am with nobody there

People are retards. You lost 70kg. Most people give up after a day or two. Perhaps you have excess skin. That's just proof that you didn't just give up. You did something for your own health. Anytime anyone says ur fat, invite them to fuck off. You're inspirational, man.

>i go to the gym at 4 am with nobody there


Most places like that are closed during that time of night you larping faggot the only time a hikikomori would ever go outside is for necessities or emergencies such as going to a store late at night buying some food and then going back home that's it hikikomori is different than just being a recluse neet and in the extreme cases it is so bad they pee in their rooms don't throw out garbage at all hell some won't even talk to their family it is a coping strategy caused by society's stress.

you are jelly because you do nothing to improve self

I live in the middle of the forest far away from mankind,own satellite internet, a lightning fast computer, a weight set and a fully stocked lab. Jealous hikkis? I also work from home btw. So im not a neet

No, he is annoyed because you're using the term wrong. You can't have it both ways, hikkis never do anything to improve themselves, when they do they stop being hikki, it's not a good term, it doesn't make you cool, we're the lowest of the low

the kinds of guys stacking piss bottles and sleeping on bags of garbabe probably don't come on here and tell people they're hikkis.

anybody that says they're a hikki is fake like 99% of the time

>jealous?
Incredibly. This is basically my ideal life minus someone equally as reclusive to share it with who somehow doesn't cause me the discomfort that being around people normally does.

I used to piss in jugs, I used to order food and not leave my apartment for months. I used to get drunk on 97% alcohol, dissolved in water. i used to pile up the garbage everywhere and not see a living soul for that time. the deal is, this kind of lifestyle should either lead to suicide or attempted recovery. pick one and stop whining over japanese horseshit.

While i do agree with that to a certain extent it doesn't exactly mean that hikis are completely non-existent here because piss bottle hikis are rare and most hikis actually do go outside but still spend most of the day and nearly everyday at home in their room because the 6 months duration in the definition of hikikomori is taken out of context most of the same with its english translation pulling inward being confined the 6 months thing doesn't mean staying inside for 6 months because most hikikomori go outside for like food and stuff they mean you have to be suffering with the condition for 6 months to be diagnosed as a hikikomori in japan

in addition, not gay enough to watch anime

>the deal is, this kind of lifestyle should either lead to suicide or attempted recovery. pick one and stop whining over japanese horseshit.


Fuck off normalfag.

by that definition I'm an hikki. and I just don't really believe that.

>in addition, not gay enough to watch anime

And yet you're posting on Jow Forums an anime website.

Monks are not hikis get out of this thread.

>by that definition I'm an hikki. and I just don't really believe that.

The 6 months thing is there to diagnose people as hikikomori in Japan similar to what a lot of other doctors do with people who have mental disorders and in the criteria it states spending most of the day and nearly everyday confined at home which means the individuals existence is mostly at home in their room but they still may go out sometimes even though they do not attend school leave to go to work or even do not have social lives.

>have probably been outside the house fewer than 14 days in the past 3 years

Gunjy is a larping nigger.

it's way better to spend your life feeling sorry for your self. if not wanting to do that makes one normal, then fine.

There is no return user.

>it's way better to spend your life feeling sorry for your self. if not wanting to do that makes one normal, then fine.

Some people are able to play the game and adapt to society while others are not able to.

>it's way better to spend your life feeling sorry for your self. if not wanting to do that makes one normal, then fine.


Failed normalfag.

You're a fucking retard being a shut in neet is not the same as being a hikikomori.

Did you enjoy it?

No it isn't most neets are just generally reclusive because they have nothing to do with their lives hikikomori means to withdraw from society and never leave your room.

you can be a hikikomori and a neet
i was one, i'm not a neet because i go to school, and i'm not a hikki because i've only been shut in for 3 months this go-around
i live alone in my house but i spend 98% of the day in my office

im not really anymore, cos i got a real job and quit drugs, but i use to have a horrendous meth habit and made money by camming. im a tranny with a deep voice (esp back then) and i fucking hated the comments and attention it brought. paranoia from weird interactions with strangers + drugs kept me inside my apt almost all the time, and my sketchy lifestyle/rambling/mood swings kept people from wanting to hang out with me. i would pretty much only leave to go do dumb sketchy shit with my dealer trying to make extra cash.
def was never a traditional hikki but i was super sketched of any strangers, esp any people who looked too clean cut and my social life was severely limited. had no desire to go seek out sex either because i watched increasingly fucked up porn for hours every day to be able to stay hard while camming. if i wasn't trying to get money out of men online or hustling with other tweakers, i would just pace around my house and write weird schizo proofs for gods existence and peak out the shades a lot

it gets hard as fuck to relate to anyone once u live a "taboo" sort of life for long enough, cos even if u stop being a weirdo u still can't really share much of anything about yourself or understand others problems

>to go do dumb sketchy shit with my dealer trying to make extra cash.
lol what did he pimp you out

wait let me guess. he got you to buy sudafed for him in different stores

nah, it was mostly like check scams and trying to sell drugs. prostitution would have been way more lucrative i should have just done that. 90% of the time we just drove around high and confused for several hours and didn't accomplish hardly anything

also he didn't have a real phone plan so he'd often like smoke me out and buy me food just for riding along so he could use my hotspot lol

i live in the SW and im p sure most of our meth is mexican, mexicans always have the good shit, and ive never heard of or seen shake and bake out here

You aren't either going to work and working a job is way more interacting with society than any actual hikikomori ever would if you leave your house to go to school/work you're not hikikomori.

Oh my god you degenerate piece of shit you're not a hiki you're just a schizoid trans faggot kill yourself.

Am i a hikikomori if i frequent college but never leave my room otherwise?

literally who cares, just :bee: yourself my man

online college is a thing
haven't left my house in 3 months and get supplies delivered

>Am i a hikikomori if i frequent college but never leave my room otherwise?

No

dank katana sensei

If hiki allows for you to leave your house, what's the difference between a neet and a hiki.

>haven't left my house in 3 months and get supplies delivered


Its not not leaving your house its not leaving your bedroom inside your parents house that is what hikikomori is.

not unless its online from your own home

i live alone in my own house but spend 98% of the day in my office
same thing, just a bigger, "standalone" room

>If hiki allows for you to leave your house
it doesn't
stop listening to discord retards

>stop listening to discord retards


This stop listening to gunjy and his retarded shit hikis only leave the house if desperate for like food.

>i live alone in my own house but spend 98% of the day in my office

why do faggots who rarely leave their home but still do so have the urge to larp as hikikomoris? its the same as pretending to be a millionaire when you only have 800k.
