(A shut-in who stays at home in their parents house does not work go to school or socialize with others and lives in isolation in their bedroom for 6 months or more)
>Contrary to popular belief most hikikomori go outdoors but are just isolated socially and still spend most of the day and nearly every single day confined at home in their rooms
>The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare defines hikikomori as a condition in which the affected individuals refuse to leave their parents house, do not work or go to school and isolate themselves away from society and their family in a single room for a period exceeding six months

>4. Subject shows social withdrawal symptoms for .a duration of 6 months or more
>5. Subject has no physical condition nor other severe psychological problem that is the cause of the social withdrawal (Mainly excluding those with psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia)
>While hikikomori is mostly only a Japanese phenomenon cases of the condition have been found in other countries
People who work go to school or have a social life are not hikikomori.
I'll probably go hikiko pretty soon, this quarantine just reminds me off the good days of doing fuck all, and I'm getting my degree in history and I don't have anything to do once I get it

life is only what you make of it. look, im a NEET/hikki and i know that my life is boring because im a worthless piece of shit. I know for fact that life is not boring at all for people who chase success or are successful. When you have money, you have status and most importantly, you can buy more or less what you want and need at will and also you dont have to worry about feeling guilty for spending your parent's money on drugs/any other thing not deemed essential. You are independent. I know that my life sucks right now is because i am not trying and i am just a fucking loser who spends all of daddy's money on weed and alcohol. Don't get me wrong, i love getting fucked up but sometimes you cant help but feel a certain level of guilt. I know that if i was able to support my drug/alcohol habit on my own, those feelings would vanish right away.

>hikki

>wtf why not? i at least bumped ur thread, is that not good enough??
Yeah and i appreciate that but this thread is for NEETs and Hikis.
Logan Foster
It is spelled hikki actually
David Robinson
>It is spelled hikki actually
How many times do i have to say it? the Japanese verb hiku has only one k, and hiku is the Japanese word for pull and hikikomori means to pull inward or (Acute Social Withdrawal)
Oliver Smith
Except the Japanese shorten it to hikki not hiki
Henry Morris
To elaborate it's spelled with a small "tsu" which in this case is "kk" in English
How do other neets deal with the crippling loneliness?
Aiden Ortiz
Hi-ki-ko-mo-ri not hi-kki-ko-mo-ri and yes the Japanese shorten it to hikki but in English its actually spelled Hicky Hiki or Hikky Hikki is how you pronounce the word hiki but its still not how you properly spell it spend some time on 5ch and you will understand what im talking about.
Jackson Collins
If you're transliterating it using Hepburn it's spelled hikki why would it suddenly be different for this one word? There's clear rules to transliterating japanese

I just found today that my disability benefits were approved. I can't even put it into words how happy I am. I will never have to work a day in my life. I won't have to spend a single second contributing to this horrible society that is circling the drain. I will get to play vidya, watch anime and fap for as long as I want, however much I want. I can't believe it's actually happening. I'm gonna be living the dream anons. I couldn't have wanted anything more in this life.
You can do it too anons. Get your mental illnesses diagnosed. Start seeing a psychiatrist regularly and start creating a medical paper trail. It really can be done.
How do I make friends? Everyone online I try to make friends with ends up disappearing. Should I just start my own community/server?
Brayden Martin
What is your plan? are you gonna go hikikomori mode and stay in your room not talk to anyone or do anything or just be a simple NEET that still has a social life?
Ryan Campbell
>How do I make friends? Everyone online I try to make friends with ends up disappearing. Should I just start my own community/server?
Online friendships and relationships are not real because you dont know the person irl if you wanna make friends go outside and talk to real people not just by text on a screen.
Jackson Fisher
are you legitimately retarded or just pretending to be retarded
All friendship meet their end but you can jump from a wagon to to another. you probably have some hobbies, passions, things you appreciate to do, so capitalize on this to have friends, find community on discord this a very easy way to do.
Anthony Martinez
>are you legitimately retarded or just pretending to be retarded
It has nothing to do with being retarded its the truth most kids are isolated today because of technology and being isolated is normal now times have changed and its not like back in the 80s and 90s when the internet was shit so people still went outside and interacted with each other most people on this shit board are not even true NEET or hikikomori they are just zoomers isolating themselves because they are adapting to the norm.
Camden Miller
ok boomer, i (not him) can socialize with everybody i want IRL, but i'm enjoying so much the internet, social interaction IRL are so much more hypocrite and boring than on the internet.
Oh so you're not pretending, gotcha. >just go outside bro!!!!! >just stop having severe anxiety!!!
Isaac Jackson
What are your diagnosis user? The only thing I have diagnosed is schizoid, depression and anxiety. I imagine I can get disabilitybux too if I really wanted but it seems like such a hassle to go through with it
No im not plus you asked for my advice so you have no right to get mad i am just being honest.
Noah Morris
>ok boomer,
LOL im 27 that is not boomer boomers are born between 1946-1964 yeah i know the 30 year old boomer meme but its a shit meme to be honest.
Christopher Rivera

Been NEET for a year-and-a-half now. Was actually trying to get a job at the start of the year, but since I live with older people I'm sort of using the excuse that I don't want to get them sick. Problem is that I'm running out of money and I still have to pay them. Nothing will happen at that point except I will officially be a leech. I think I'm too undisciplined to do online work. I don't even like sitting for long periods of time, perhaps against the stereotype, I need to pace almost as default. Not sure how long I can keep this up, I'm sort of retarded in that I should be taking advantage of the trumpbux but I haven't even looked into applying yet. I'm really tired right now, always am, always pushing things for later.
You're telling a hikki to go outside, I don't even like leaving my room. I've made good online friends before but they always just fucking disappear

Autism spectrum disorder, Major depressive disorder and PTSD. You can definitely get it with that combination, you just need to make sure you have paperwork and are getting treatment.
