I don't really like to label myself with japanese words, so I just call myself a social recluse. I lock myself away for a few years at a time and try to get back into society every couple years or so. Doesn't ever work out, but at least I make some money once every couple years. Looking into online work so I don't have to try getting a job again since I'm pretty terrified due to my last experiences of working.

[Anonymous No.]

I'm only a NEET, and even that not for much longer(I hope).
I actually like getting out of the house, live in a nice town by the sea surrounded by woods, so I often wander by myself.

Eh, the word recluse was taken from French and Latin in the first place. I don't think it matters that much. Plus, they've slightly different connotations in that one is more of a voluntary and not quite so severe thing.

i know but i couldn't find a nice job in a short period of time, i had to do it or else i couldn't go out of my house.

[Anonymous No.]

Yeah, 6 years running, no joke. When I was kicked out of school I shut myself away, about 4 years passed and I was finally kicked out of the house. I've now been living in a tiny apartment in Vancouver for 2 years. I don't speak to anybody, I don't associate with anybody. My income comes from the government and minimal parent hand outs (they accepted that I'm fucked), just enough for food, internet and rent, which is like 200 a month.

/jp/ is more full of short-term NEETs, rather than 'hardcore' hikikomori. They more lurk on the AnonIB board or just keep quiet about it elsewhere.

That said, I don't mind this life, it's easy and sustainable. I never intended to retire and live until I'm 85 years old and senile, so I'm having fun now.

I used to be a really bad shut-in, to the point where I was afraid to leave my room if anybody else was in the house. Roughly went like that from 15 to 20, varying levels, sometimes feeling secure enough to see family or even visitors and sometimes going terrified of being seen or heard. Spent some months in an institution which broke that up, actually managed to be almost normal for some months after that but pretty soon I went right back to being a shut-in. I've gone outside at least a couple times a week for the last two years though, doing some volunteer work past few months and some people are helping me to find education possibilities.

[Anonymous No.]

Been a NEET for over 3 years now after dropping out of school because it made me really depressed and somewhat suicidal.
Not really a hikki because I do leave my home sometimes... rarely. Maybe every few weeks for two hours or so buying stuff or getting some food.

Though, in all honesty I don't think there are that many NEETs, let alone hikkis on /jp/. It's just a joke. But a joke I like to live. I'm living a joke. It's kind of funny in a weird, twisted way.

I don't know what's worse. Actually being a hikki / NEET, or pretending to live a normal life to satisfy the high expectations of your parents.

I'm 21, and I know I'll never be able to finish my education and fit into society. I'd be happy if everyone would just leave me alone, and forgot I even existed.

[Anonymous No.]

Eh, not really much of either now since I'm going back to school and I'm a lot more chill. Considering my parents won't put up with that shit for longer then a month without throwing me out, I'd have no where to go. Thankfully I still don't desire relationships with people or anything like that. Now I just smoke some pot, do some of my home course to get my final credit for my HS. Once I finish that I'll get a part time until i can go to a collage of some sort.

Well, I'm not on welfare, but disability. I have hebephrenia and while its really "mild", it's still schizophrenia, so I'm able to claim it that way. It's fairly hard to get government assistance.

I'm NEET, not hikki, but only leave the house once a week or so for food.

I graduated last year, but through a combination of lack of motivation, a shitty job market, being crap at interviews and a disinterest in my degree subject (it was never what I wanted to study, I was pushed into it by parents and school) I haven't found work. No one wants anything to do with graduates these days, it seems.

I spend my days dossing on 4chan and working on stuff I'm actually interested in in the hopes of getting a job out of that. Maybe. I haven't got great hopes for anything though, I'm a total social failure.

I draw porn and sell stuff on eBay for a bit of spare cash too, but I don't get much out of it.

That's subjective because not all of us are simply lonely and seek a relationship.

I'm just uncomfortable being around people. Talking or meeting someone I once knew isn't the problem for me. A person physically being near me is what makes me incredibly nervous.

Me and my best friend communicate with texts when we know we're going to be in the same city, so we can hang out every 4-5 months or so.

I don't think it's specifically that we knew them in the past. Not for all of us, anyway. The problem is that people who you have never met usually won't try to strike up a conversation, so it's easy to avoid them. People you knew before are likely to approach you, making avoidance difficult.

Go out at night. Or just before it gets dark, then.

The only thing that has kept me sane these past 5 years is talking to my dad and communicating on 4chan. It's fucking excruciating to not be able to talk about things I actually like without being insulted or ostracized. Whenever I finish a game I really enjoyed I have no one to talk to about it with. When I finish a VN or anime I really enjoyed I have no one to talk to about it with. I can't go up to my dad and say "Hey, ____ was really awesome, what did you think when ___ did ___? I thought that was the best part in the game".

It's frustrates me so much that I can't do this in real life, I just wanted to find people I could relate to and share opinions with. What frustrated me more is the fact that it's not even hard to find people who have typical otaku hobbies, yet I still couldn't find anyone and I still haven't. I guess this is mostly my fault because I didn't open myself up more to people.

I was a really shy and introverted kid starting from kindergarten, and for most of my school life I never said a word until I got home. I didn't make any friends until 6th grade, and then starting middle school I lost all of them; because they were normalfags and I couldn't relate or talk to them about much since they always bullied me for playing games. Now here I am, still the same. Anyway, I'm glad I found 4chan a couple years ago otherwise I really would have gone insane. If not insane, then really depressed. I desperately needed a place I could let myself out from being bottled up with these thoughts and emotions all these years.

Thank you, all of you.

I don't ever do that, even on 4chan. It seems silly to me. I mean, occasionally I'll join in a thread about something I played before and help someone, but usually, I rarely do that. I don't even post much anymore. My entire life is shaded in grey and can be described quite adequately with one word:

Meh.

I don't need to talk to anyone, in person or online, and I don't feel the need to share my opinions with anyone either. Chances are, they won't care anyway, or will forget them soon after I tell them, so it's no big deal if I just don't say them to begin with.
I don't know what's up with you guys saying that you'd be insane if you don't talk to anyone. It seems kind of silly to think that.

No problem.
When I was 12 or so, my parents started asking me why I never brought friends over anymore.

Just told them I didn't know the reason, but I was just getting tired of being around them, really.
I went to some of the "real" parties to start with, but I'd always go home early after having been sitting in the same place for hours.

To this day I pretty much still hate parties where everyone only shows up to get drunk.

If I had friends who lived close and a lawn, I'd host a barbecue with a couple of beers and some good food every now and then.
But my only friend is the one mentioned in >>4871260, and I don't have a lawn.

Same here if I could get a job to support us.

Just having someone to eat with and cook for is pretty much the thing I want the most.

I used to have my cat sleep in my bed when I lived with my parents because it's breath calmed me down.
Here in this dorm apartment I can only hear the elevator going up and down, people playing music, and shouting in the yard.
I can't even keep a cat here, but it'd be a horrible life for it anyway inside this box.

My kingdom for a real apartment with a good kitchen and a nice girl to share it with.

I have a cool story about sharing a bed with a girl on a trip to Thailand, but I don't think I'll type it all up unless someone really wants it. It's not really related to the thread. Just the relationship part. In a bad way.

Reading this thread has made me realize something I find funny: the fact that I apparently long for some human contact (preferentially with someone who likes things I like), but also the fact that I'd still have no idea of how to do that. Even if one of you lived next door and I knew it, I simply wouldn't be able to just go there and try talking to them. I simply wouldn't know what to do.

Then there's also the fact that I look down on myself way too much. Using the example above - I'd probably think that I'm not good enough to become their friend, or something like that.

And now I'm thinking that this post is not good enough. Why am I clicking that submit button?

Hearing all of these stories is very interesting.

After being kicked out of college in 2006 and unable to pay rent, I moved back with my mother and older brother. I did get a job until about a month ago... Those 3+ years had turned me into a weak example of a shut-in. I only left the house at night, sat in front of the computer all day, played vidya, even started to sleep until 2-3 o'clock pm. I had no income and rarely asked for money from anyone, but my father still thought I was in college so he would send me $100 probably once a month... I made a female friend online and we talk about animu and games and things, but for a really long time I physically looked terrible-- huge bags under my eyes, only loose-fitting clothes, ate tiny amounts. I have friends in this state that I've known from high school, and they're the only ones left. I'd like to just be alone and have no one know me, but I can't see my life without those last two friends.

My ex and I were in college at the same time, but she graduated and moved to Japan with JET and I still love her... she says I'm her best friend ever and I believe her, but I'm not doing a very good job by not speaking to her or visiting. It's just, sometimes the world feels really suffocating, and I don't want to do anything. The years since 2006 started out happy because I was free, but they downward-spiraled into what I realize now was pretty bad. I hope that with this night job I'll finally be able to afford to move away and be on my own.

I have trouble all the time when talking with people I know from earlier in my life, and I don't understand the point of a party where everyone just gets drunk together. It's stupid. I have yet to meet anyone with this same mentality. Lots of people on 4ch seem like me, which is nice, and helps with my loneliness.

I'm pretty sure my ex moving away from here destroyed my life. I wish there were some reason for a college dropout with no Japanese language skills and no work experience to live in Japan, though.

A hikikomori is somebody who withdraws from society because of its pressures. Unless you're talking about hookers and ad revenue, no hiki will have a sex or a job.

You can, however, be a recluse and still do all of the above. You merely don't have any friends or obligations. This is different from being a hikikomori.

Being a hiki is more about abandoning the real world and entering your comfort zone and staying there, this usually means your room or apartment. On the other hand, a recluse or shut-in is just somebody with no friends, yet they still maintain the ability to work, attend college, or fuck whores, as you said.

Well, the thing is, it's not. Hikkikomori is an extreme condition. I think the problem is that a lot of people watch Welcome to the N.H.K. and see Satou going out a lot and think (Oh, so Hikkikomori do go outside). Welcome to the N.H.K. is not an accurate depiction of hikkikomori. Satou was simply a NEET.

Until then, leave this thread, this board and this website and never come back with a tripcode again. You've ruined your name for good; I wouldn't be surprised if half the board has your name filtered now. Notice how the whole thread is flaming you at this point? It's because you're a dumbass.

Now that's news to me. I got the impression that all of you were just making up the definition of what a hikki was as you went along.

No, you really don't. This thread would be far better off without you.

Not knowing what you're talking about isn't a viewpoint, it's just being a retard.

>You've ruined your name for good

...your entire argument is a really terrible argument about tripbros. The kind who do this shit for attention ("like you lol") would just find your age encouraging. Thanks for the links, though. I was intending to look it up after someone said it was a legitimate government designation, instead of something that people just decided to group themselves into. Thanks for the literature.

Also, drink some tea or something. Jesus christ.

You don't get it do you, this isn't about normalfags vs NEET, this isn't about tripfags vs anonymous.
It's about everyone vs you.
You, as a person, are not welcome here.
We don't like you, we don't like your opinions, we don't like your posts, you are an overall shit poster.
Please leave.

Look at the thread. The moment you started to post it turned to shit. It went from a discussion between hikis and NEETs to a shitstorm about what is a hiki and what isn't. You can say "it was inevitable" but not really, because your posts are so ignorant toward the concept that everybody assumed you were trolling.

Time for you to get a new tripcode probably, because you ruined your name now. The nice thing about 4chan is, when a tripfag says stupid shit, everybody knows to disregard everything he says. Even better we can filter your bullshit now.

It's defined as a mental illness by the Japanese Ministry of Health. Anyone not meeting the definition and claiming to be hikki because they occasionally go for a week without showering or whatever is talking shit.

I do consider myself an anime otaku, since I honestly love it and many other things (semi)related to it. I also spend most of my time doing those kinds of things.
I am not a ''hikikomori'' though, just a shut-in student.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4871923
I figured as much, but for people with social lives and varying sleep times, it's hard to know what the person is doing at a given time.
I have a pretty regular sleep schedule (9:XXPM to 4:XXAM) but some people seem to have none at all.

i used to be a NEET for short periods in my life. i guess now i'm what you would call a scientist in pseudo academia. you don't really have to interact with people and it pays well. if you like applied math, it's a great job. you get paid to do many things you'd do in your spare time. however, this required many years of post graduate education in math heavy fields. i'm not incredibly gifted in math, so it's a painful investment to take measure theory, complex analysis, category theory, etc.

tl;dr build human capital in a math related field if you want to high paying job that requires minimal human interaction.

When I have classes I go to school at around 1AM.

>>4872005
Used to do that.
Actually, I used to have a revolving sleep pattern. Every day would add one hour to the time at which I wake up, meaning I'd go asleep a few hours later to compensate.
When you reach the point where you go to sleep at sunrise and wake up at sunset, you start feeling like a freak.

These threads are why /jp/ is good. I love reading all your life issues. I don't know why, I can only barely relate, I don't talk to people but I don't care, I go to classes and live in a dorm and see people all the time just don't talk to anyone ever, unless I need to for a class or something.
It is just interesting to get an insight into everyones lives.

I'm envious of all you shut ins. Neither my parents nor my government will support me so I have to endure intense anxiety and social phobia everyday at work in order to survive.

[Anonymous No.]

I hate people, but I realized that I must deal with society if I am ever to live in it. I have my bouts of being a NEET, but Right now I have a semi steady desktop job that I have to deal with people everyday.

I have gotten used to it and I am feeling pretty good about it. I still don't have much friends besides the 4 that I met at high school. But that is fine.

I totally understand why some people could become a shut-in because as long as your parents can substain your constant life you will stay a HIKKI.

So if you truly want to get out the HIKKI life style you have to leave the support of your parents and fend for yourself.

It never bothered me, personally. I just looked at the window, quipped "Oh, sun's up." and then slept.

Made for nice "morning" walks too. Not a damn soul outside around here at sunset and the most I'd have to deal with is some moron in a van barreling down the road doing sixty in a twenty or something.

Green, I don't think anyone was suggesting you have life easier just because you have a job/girlfriend (well, maybe one or two bitter assholes). In fact, we're clearly avoiding those things so you could say you're enduring a lot more than us (or maybe not, how the hell should I know?). At least in my case, I was just trying to point out that you can't logically be a hikkikomori if you have these things. It directly conflicts with the definition.

Another shut in here, I didnt leave the house for 2 years, now I do go out once ever couple weeks for doctor appointments etc.
