This is the first time in 20 years I've heard the word "outside" bounce within my hut. I came here 30 years ago bereft of women, fortune and pride. I stayed in this very spot and patted the ground for a good 5 years before finishing the foundations of my new life. 15 years later I've won back all my former things and I've felt certain my last 15 years would be spent in tranquility.

Anger issues actually. I get upset very easily, and I'm extremely violent when I'm upset. Coupled with my build, which is something between strong-fat and bear-mode this has caused some rather regrettable outcomes in the past. (There's an mildly incompetent grocery-store cashier walking around somewhere with one eye and a knee that will never be right again. He argued with me about a pizza being on sale.) And no medicine I've tried that didn't simply make me pass out has done anything to help.

Anyway, I really have no desire to hurt people - which I seem to do rather consistently when around them for any length of time - so I just stay at my house. Actually, I'd still be in jail if I hadn't signed an agreement to only leave for absolute necessities (work, food, etc.) - but I just don't leave at all.

Not really alone though, I have a sister who lives close by and visits most days - sometimes stays over for a few days at a time. Never really get mad at her for some reason, even though she says things I'd probably kill other people for if I could. The rest of my family's pretty much disowned me. Parents won't even return a Christmas card - don't really blame them though.

I actually enjoy living like this. I never really liked people (aside from a select few) so I don't miss seeing them - and I get all the socializing I desire on the internet (which, oddly enough, doesn't make me angry in the least - imnotevenmadbro.jpg. And working with the servers is pretty entertaining and a good challenge every now and then. I would recommend keeping at least one person close to you though - I'm not really sure what I'd do without my sister. Probably be back in jail again.

Very true. I learned the hard way how difficult it is to function without ANY social interaction at all. I hadn't spoken to anyone (other than myself at times) for over a year, when a cousin of mine visited me. At that point I really couldn't have cared less whether I lived or died, but once I got to talking again, my depression became somewhat manageable, at least. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is find someone to talk to, and I mean face-to-face, or at the very least over the phone.

That's not the problem for me. I can talk to people without fear. It just physically hurts me to do it, and it's boring. Medication hurts me physically too. I can't make friends with anyone because it feels as if everyone expects something out of me and just complains if I can't live up to it and then they try to force me to be a person I don't want to be. I can't say I dislike those people, but I don't trust anyone at all. Admittedly I share those problems too though, so I can't call myself a friend to anyone unless I get rid of my selfish desires.

You can't kid yourself. Humans are social creatures we need social interaction to stay happy, it's in our genetic programming. Why do you think you're on /jp/ right now? It's natural for someone with social anxiety to be extremely empathetic to the persons who you interact with.. you just need to find a way to manage those feelings and realize that it's normal for you.

>>7291369
Medication alone doesn't do the trick, you have to work towards making your life better as well. Feeling sad after hanging out with some friends is probably because you realize that it will end eventually. But you can make those happy times last longer by actually seeing them more frequently. Yeah we're alone at the end of the day, but it doesn't mean we can't enjoy the rest of the day with people who we love.

Learning to trust people is where you need to start. I believe it's better to allow yourself to trust someone until proven otherwise; it just opens a lot more options in terms of friendship and you'll be pleasantly surprised when you can finally find someone whom which you can trust.

People who expect too much from you can be tiresome. Some people just aren't worth becoming friends with, but with all things in life, friendship is something that requires work. You can't expect something to magically happen for you if you don't put any effort into it.

Be discerning but at the same time don't be too prude.

I didn't mean the delivery services are half a block. I meant the regular grocery stores are. There is plenty of delivery services out there. Try checking up on google for ones in your area.

There is a lot of money to be made from people who want to order food but don't want to go to the store for whatever reason. It isn't in their benefit to gouge the prices that much. The delivery fee plus whatever the food cost at the store price is enough really. Depending on the store you may also choose a pick up option too.

I am not a shut-in, I'm forced to do things so my mom won't kick me out. And I don't have the heart to fake illness or whatever for welfare.

If I had the money, I would never leave my house. The most I've done this though is I think only a few months at a time, maybe half a year. The thing is, I'm never actually afraid of going outside or anything. I just prefer to stay indoors and use the internet, play games, read VNs, watch anime and so forth all day. So when a time comes when I need to leave the house, I just shower (often for the first time in months), make sure I have clean clothes, shave, and go.

I have no friends in real life and try to generally keep my distance from people, including my family. I really just view them as distractions.

I guess I'm normal to the point of being able to go outside, talk to people, etc., so the most I go without being outside is 2 days, but there's always the chance of running into someone in the shared kitchen which is my only kitchen.
I'm antisocial in the sense that I take quite a while to open up to people, and I'm rarely the one to initiate a conversation. If there are more persons in a room than me and someone else, I'm always the quiet one.

Even if I had the money to build a house of containers a bit outside of the city where I can't hear all the noise, I'd probably try to get a job of some sort. Maybe just part-time somewhere or apply for training at a bank.

I think I'd wither away if the only reason for me to go outside was grocery shopping.
If I had the money and ordered everything online, I'd have to get a maid, I think.
And at some point I'd probably start hanging out with my best friend more than maybe once a month.

The place I'll have to start with to improve my life is getting in shape, I guess.
So that'll be my summer project seeing as I won't get a job, and I don't have anything planned except for a trip to the mountains with my friend and maybe my dad.

>> No.7292018

Yeah, I guess I (>>7291987) could fit in there as well except I don't live with my parents.

I'm a university student, and if I don't study, I get kicked out of my dorm, so the situation is somewhat comparable.
My mother told me I should think long and hard before moving back to their house if I dropped out (again).
I don't think it'll happen. At least now I'm almost done with my 3rd year of Japanese Studies compared to quitting after 5 weeks of Biomedicine.

I think an important reason for dropping out back then was the complete lack of social interaction outside classes because I lived 6 kilometers away and there were 25 people in the class which stressed me out.
Now I live 10 minutes away in the city center of the capital city (Copenhagen), and the class I'm in has dwindled down to some 5 people.
These factors and the people in the shared kitchen being nice to me help me a lot.

I keep asking myself that.
Even if I ever decide on getting an MA, I probably won't get a job that isn't in teaching.

But I think this is the best shot I have at ever completing anything related to academics.
Choosing heart over money this time around proved to be good.

Wow thanks to all of you guys. :D

I just felt like my life really sucked, but reading through this thread made me feel a lot better and I will now go and wash my hair. LOL

But just one question...

I'm 26, live at my parents. I go to college about 3 times a week and I'm taking things slowly, so I will finish it about the time I'm 30 and I will hopefully move out with a somewhat decent job. Except college I go to the gym to keep my body from falling apart. Other than that, I don't leave the house and I receive money from my parents. I have no friends and apart from college, stores etc. I haven't talked to anyone in over 4 years.

Now my question is... would I still be a hiki/NEET or something?

Spoken like someone desperately trying to fit in.

A normal is a way broader category and is somewhat subjective. For example, people who assume an internet attitude and attempts to put down others because they, themselves, have been marginalized from those they would have liked to be popular with - I consider pretty normal. Basically, they're concerned with popularity. Pretty normal.
