What the fuck, how do you not realise that you haven't moved away from the computer? That kind of shit doesn't 'just happen'.

One month does not make a mandatory half year period to be classified as a hikikomori by a Japanese health care professional.

I can't remember how long it's been since I've left my home.

>>2717895
lucky bastard. I have to leave home to go buy food and crap.

About 4 months here.

You hikkikomori are so cool. I want to be like you when I grow up.

I haven't left my home in almost 48 hours, does that count?

Hikki implies some sort of mental problem as well.

A month? You are small time, try a year.

I didn't see it as a problem until now. My friends are gone, I get everything delivered to my apartment and I am not interested in going out drinking or anything, but this morning I thought about it and how it's not really right.

But I'm not really interested in anything apart from what I can access here from my computer. So now I'm trying to figure out why my little electronic world means more to me than your little blue one. Because I know it shouldn't. But it does.

How can you not leave home for so long? Don't you have to shop for food and other living necessities?
Or do you live with your parents? or some sort of super efficient maid?

>>2717965
Fascinating.

>>2717989
ah. never mind. read >>2717965
should have F5'd.

What makes it "not right"? Because other people believe that it isn't?

Don't let people decide things for you. If you believe that staying at home is right, then continue to do so. If you feel that it's right, then it's right, no matter how other people think.

>>2718019
Fucking this. Why is it that wen the general public believe something, it immediately becomes the "correct" way of thinking?

>>2718019
>Don't let people decide things for you.

I hear you, Anonymous. Starting tomorrow I'm touching as many kindergarteners as I please.

Fascinating

You best be not....

When i was young, I have done it in elementary school in front of my class!

And boy this is not a good idea from now on!

>>2718058
SCREEEECH

God damn it, I want a maid so I never have to leave again.

>>2717965

People usually only understand themselves in context to other people. If you feel you're doing something wrong or unusual, that's community/cultural pressure for better or worse.

I'm not too sure what to make of it either.
I feel that there's a growing trend in the world to produce more people like us who are socially estranged and plugged into a carefully tailored "media source" of their design. They live in a combination of virtual communities and their media, their otakuism, more than even a religion, is a lifestyle.

I feel a lot like you, but occasionally I do get this strange sensation of loneliness, but when I spend time with people, it doesn't take me more than an hour to grow tired of them all over again. I realise more and more that acting like a normal social person feels forced, exhausting, uncomfortable and ultimately unrewarding, so here I am.

I wonder what we gain from being like this? Are we better or no worse than anyone else?

If I had a maid I wouldn't want her to see me like this. She would force me to be a normalfag.

I still want to know how the fucking hell do you guys have enough cash to stay at home everyday.

The thing I worry about the most is old age.
I feel that already my INT is a lot lower than it should be for someone in their twenties. Without active social contact I fear I may be very susceptible to acute dementia, although maybe I'm just pessismistic. I guess I can always counter with tough games to work my mind. But I've never been much for excercise mental or otherwise.
I tend to play the AI, watch rather than play Starcraft, and can't 1cc normal because I don't practice enough...

>>2718133

We don't.
We either have parents, a stipend from European welfare, or work a part-time job with partial family/government support.

>>2718133

Rich White/Asian parents supporting them.

>>2717895
I read this post and realized I have only left my house a handful of times in 5 years.

>>2718133
It's easier for Asians. There's no "You're older than 18, get out of the house!" mentality. Most of us stay with our parents after we get jobs as well, and we're supposed to start supporting them like they did us. So the transition period between the two is a convenient excuse for NEEThood.

I'm depressed now.

Is there a Japanese equivalent for CRAAAAAAAAWLING IIIIIIIIIIIIN MY SKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN?
