But hey... I never heard of people who shit on his own room man... Yeah, i do masturbate and keep using my notebook but, come on, theres porn everywhere on this damn thing.
I like the feeling of peeing inside botles of coke but I dont do that unless I have a good excuse :P
Well, and yeah, I assume I talk to myself a lot... maybe I look like that crazy guy, shouting to make my traumas vanishing from my head :P Kind of pos traumatic shit i guess...
Cant blame the hikikomoris. This world suck so much. People out there rape, murder, betray. Everybody lies, everybody will fuck you if they have something to gain. Every women is a whore and the system is wrong, slaving people, forcing every to labor every day so someone gets rich... This shit is so fuked up.
Im kind of a hikikomori too, but I would love to exchange my room for a place in the woods, or in the mountains, or the snow, alone with the animals :D
i dont understand. just found out about this. i can relate partly tho, some of the vids made by peeps seem... like fucking bullshit. im a college drop out with no GF and job. i play WoW all day. and literaly no friends. shit sucks bro...
What's up with all you fucking faggots describing yourselves with Japanese buzz words? I can't believe you actually want to be like this?? I'm severely agoraphobic and only found out about this term through the hours of research I've put into that. It's no fucking picnic so just because you've seen it in your animes does not make it fun... God I wish I could punch you all through your anime desktops.
@0gami1tto I don't think I've ever seen an anime that actually makes living as a hikikomori look like fun. The only people who would think that are the same ones who would probably jump off a bridge if you told them they could fly.
@0gami1tto I don't know. I never heard of that one. But it seems like most of the people who would be persuaded to be a recluse would also be the same poeple who would be persuaded that being a ganster is great from watching The Godfather.
I remember at first it was weird after I got used to converse naturally, but when there is a big problem I am ashamed of the family and friends and I hide in the bedroom and the internet, this time I'm with hair big huge beard, 2 bath in two days. My last problem was to hide the shame of being drug-User, has a clinic after 4 months I am Hikikomori, I think a lot about leaving this further I discovered the term "hikikomori"
'm a hikikomori started as NEET, in my 22 years that time, I quit college so studying and playing online.
Well I talked already worked on some social jobs, but after some problems I locked myself in the bedroom to 4 years + / - is very sad to be a hiki has time to front the pc looking for anything from entertainment to be anime or game, has hours also think about changing that. Once these four years could change
I think I can be defined more of an otaku with social problems rather than a hikikomori. I don't have trouble going outside and seeing people, the only problem I have is talking to people face to face. I'm awkward as hell and just can't do it. I have no problem typing though, and have several online friends, and one good real-life friend, he seems to be the only person in the world I can be myself around.
What the hell was that? Yelling nonsense? Spilling water all over himself? Pissing and shitting in bags? Are we to infer that 'hikikomori' is somehow synonymous with 'downs syndrome'? The editing wasn't the worst in the world but learn a little more about any given psychological ailments before you decide to portray them.
Does anyone have any links to stories of former long-time hikikomori who managed to reintegrate in society somehow? Is this even possible? Any personal experiences?

@DeathDude72 I've seen the NHK but i am more interested in documentaries if they exist. I haven't left the house in almost 6 years. Though admittedly i leave every 2 months or so to get a haircut so im semi-hiki. I am not afraid to leave my own room or ever bottled before.
I don't think its more of a mental issue either, the influx of money and nourishment from my parents keeps me happy. The humdrum of society has nothing better to offer me. I need better societal incentives to get me out.
When i was in elementary school and early middle school i guess this is what i was. idk. i realized that i'm pretty right-brained and started picking up creative hobbies that helped me earn a social life like everybody else.
Is this really a documentary or some parody nonsense? Seriously, a Hikikomori is not wat is described or shown in this vid. It's offensive. Some wud go outside of their room 2 pee or poop & shower. ppl stereotype em as crazy, freaks, & mayb dirty. Which ppl do cuz it's a human society that judge ppl who don't communicate wit others or even go outside. Have some respect for Hikikomori. In English, it's called Social Phobia or Social anxiety disorder.
I was a bit of a hikikomori, using the security of my room to fill the absence of a necessary social life in which I could actually spend time with my friends and have a social life. I forced myself to be brought out, and so causing trouble
I can't stand people who wish to be hikikomoris. You have no idea of the true scale of pain and loneliness that real hikikomoris have to live with on a daily basis, trapped in a mental/societal prison.
@caesiume Within social recluse, those who would normally feel to have no power or control over their lives are then granted their own space and world to do whatever they wish, without feelings of consequence to the outside world.
If their life was so painful they would end it, just like anyone who actually DOES live in a prison. There is obviously something more appealing to them about the lifestyle of near total isolation. However stupid it is that that lifestyle is being idealized there is no point in feeling sorry for someone who spends a great deal of his or her time feeling sorry for themself.
@halocekicksass It's not about them feeling sorry for themselves. Most of these people are dealing with severe social anxiety and depression. Imagine the response you get from your greatest irrational fear. Now try to imagine that response to a majority of your social interactions, not just ending there but lingering for hours, days, months, or even years. Like tethering a tarantula to an arachnophobe.
No, you can be a hikikkomori and go outside to buy food and things. You can even have a job. But the only contact with the outside world tends to be the bare minimum needed to survive.

Just like depression or anorexia, bulimia, Its all about choices, life is all about choices. My guess luminolsound, is that you yourself are a hikikimori or relative to one. I dont intend to hurt your feelings or get you on a sensitive fiber be it the case. But it's all on a persons will to change his emotional state and fullfil his happiness standards.
@luminolsound It's not a mental issue it's a societal issue. These people are okay in their head, it's fine. The problem is the coldness of today's huge unhumane cities in which we live in...some people can cope with it, some even love it, and some other people develop social anxiety. It's not a "mental issue" as in "mental sickness".
@WorldOfSnakes No, it's really both, but there have always been people who shut themselves off from the rest of the world. While it may be more prevalent in Japan because of the culture there, there are many people throughout the world who just don't leave their rooms. And I can tell you, no one likes being "crazy". I tried it and don't ever wish to go there again.
id be a hikki if i wouldnt have willpower and guts to stand up even the meanest bullies and even mean groups that are mean to me rofl so i made a lot of friends who like me xd
In this case the cause of him secluding himself is probably because he got attacked (raped?) by those guys. He was probably a Hikikomori before that but the attack brought it to this extreme.
i think when im done with high school im gonna end up a hikikomori because im already on my way, i've got the major otaku qualities and am afraid of social things.
the perfect job for a hikikomori is managing a grow house. set em up and tell them how the equipment works. when the crop is ready for sale hook em up with an ounce for personal use and just share the profit from the rest.
Maybe. Hikikomori are said to tend to lose sanity over time while in withdrawal, so it is possible that he acted normal before he became a hikikomori.
If anyone has questions about the Hikikomori lifestyle/condition or just simply want to talk, feel free to email me. This is a seperate account to my main email address (For safety/privacy reasons).
I've been this way for just over 2 years now and day-by-day it gets tougher. Knowing that everyone looks down on you is a very unsettling feeling and the emotions are very hard to explain.
Are you really a Hikikomori? That's really interesting, i just want to say i dont look down on you like many would, and I'm trying to understand the situation youre in. I'm studying cultures and phenomenons at the moment, if you've any info to share please do so.
This video portrays us all and dirty and psychotic, most Hikikomori/Recluses are not like this. =/
Us English Hikikomori have it very hard. It's not easy to get money without being forced to go out and get it and you can't live off your family and savings forever.
You'd be surprised how easy it is to do that in the US. It's called online business. Also what makes one think that US families aren't like the rest of the world. Isn't the US made up of people, beliefs, cultures and societies from the whole world? I don't know about white US citizens but many hispanic, african, asian and other non european descended people tend to keep their kids under their roofs until marriage and even some of them stay with their parents until they're ready to buy a home.
I'm hikikomori. I bought designer clothes and had cosmetic surgery for fantasy amounts.
Sweden has a very, very generous welfare system compared to most countries and I just hid at home for years as a single-parasite and saved up a small fortune.
I'm also gay and have aspergers, lol, but I learned to accept things. I want to live maybe 3-5 more years, then die. In that time I want to see more of the world.
I wouldn't consider myself a hikikomori, mainly because i'm not that extreme. . just reclusive and solitary, like when i am awake i probably spend, realistically, 75% of my time sitting down at my computer but that's when I'm not at classes in university. . i have a few friends, but i don't do anything with anybody outside of academia
how extreme can an hikikoromi get? like not leaving a room or apartment for years and not communicating with people unless it's online?
I thought I used to be one. But after seeing this, I am sure I am not. Since I actually go to the bathroom and I study a lot. But the rest is spent in my room
No, but I'm social anxiety. Sometimes I have feelings that strongly parallel hikikiomori rather than social anxiety though. Especially during the times when it got the worst. I did barricade myself in my room for a short time.
Hikikomori are consumer whores spending all day on the internet, playing video games, and jacking it. They do not create. they exist in a bubble of self-pity and refuse to work to improve their lives, instead curling up into a ball.
I fell prey to a stalker at age 23, and by 24.5 felt so hopeless to ever exist without his harrassment, as well as so confused by everything he'd done, that I gave up and let have his desired relationship. I developed what would likely be diagnosed as Stockholm, and convinced myself that I was in love with him out of desperation for some shred of happiness and hope that i would survive this world. He became considered after time as my common-law husband, but destroyed the little happiness I had.
I eventually came to hide in my bedroom during the day and only walked through the rest of the house at night, or when the halls were abandoned. I could not comprehend how a person could bring him- or herself to go through the world with a fake face, lying about what things they believed in or not standing up for what was wrong. At the time, even pretending to be cheerful for money was unimaginable to me. I could hardly bring myself to smile in privacy. I felt cast as a failure automatically.
Sunlight depressed me, and the anxiety was overwhelming. After eight months I forced myself one late night to get on a bus and see a friend in person. I sat as far to the back as possible and focused on a book. I wore make-up that would make others want to leave me alone and sit elsewhere if they should board the bus. From there, I became an essential run-away for the next three years of my life. I would return to my parents' home silently while they slept to acquire small items of food.
I did not have post-secondary education, I'd struggled against a learning disability from the age of 3 that had extended my highschool experience across six years, and I was burnt out. After all that work, I was told that I did not have the skills or personal values that were required to succeed in this world. What was the point. I hid amongst the underground of the city with others who lived this this same tale... or worse ones.
Being a hikokomori isn't so bad. You have your room, your source of entertainment, your source of nourishment. What more can you ask for? I haven't talked to my friends in 3 months. I've dropped out of High School, and I live in my mother's basement. Is it my fault? Yes, but I'm not completely to blame. When I look at people, all I see are evil, vile creatures who feed off the pain of you. Of course, this is false, I'm clouded by my fear. This is because, people were mean and deceitful...
Shit man, learn to let go of fakeness. All you need is reality not the shallow stuff. That's why I prefer to have only a few genuine and serios friends, who seriously know how to have fun.
Well, you have a fist. Don't be afraid to use it if someone turns out to be a user. Everyone's equal, so if people treat you like shit, why don't you treat them like it. It's not like they're royalty. I'd do it even if they were.
Well, there's your problem. Where you won't destroy others, others will destroy you. I'm not saying go GTA, but know that you have the same ability to hurt others as they think they have to hurt you.
well, still, don't be so affected and hurt by their "ignorance" as to secluding yourself from the world. can't generalize all people as the way you describe them as "evil, vile". also, you can't depend on your mom forever. sooner or later, you'll have to make relationships and socialize, just like everybody has to face their fears at one time or another, whatever their fears may be.
relationships online can't always be trusted. i mean, under that screen name can be ANYBODY. i used to play ffxi online and yeah, my friend who was a guy made a girl character. that's pretty self-explanatory to what my point is. you got to live life, and learn from it. it's the fundamentals of growing.
You don't have to and you can stay in your room all day... This is something you'll have to accept if you want to live in the real world. People aren't always friendly, sometimes plalin unfair. You'll have to have teeth. Or as Teddy Roosevelt said, "Speak softly and carry a big stick."
and you care too much about what they think and say about you let go of that stupid fear they are just human like you and you can be like that too but you can also choose to be wiser and not give a fuck about what their poisonous mouths say
This guy has some serious problems; but some people are introverted--about 20% of the world population. These guys don't like being around other human beings, it saps their strength.
That isn't necessarily true. There have been many introverted world leaders and performers. Introverts just tend to be deeper, and less talkative in larger groups.
I'm prone to hikiko-moric (am I inventing words here?) tendencies mainly because I have misanthropic views. I've only learned about "hikikomori" about a month ago... but I've been doing these things for a long time. I guess it's a mix of social anxiety and misanthropic views, but I'd rather interface through a computer than face to face. The real world--ironically--is too reliant on acting to do anything. Online, I'm me. I'm not pretending to be someone else for sake of social integration.
lostinillusions - your story sounds just like mine. I'm 33 and have been extremely reclusive for several years, but looking back, I see that my hikikomor-ism started when I was little and increased little by little over the span of my life. Do you ever wish that you had never been born?...like your being here is a huge mistake? I know I feel this way all the time.
I guess it's because I'm not really happy in the world or *with* the world. Maybe I should have just been born at a different time, when life and people were simpler. Nowadays, the system of the world sucks, and only a few people live truly happy and in peace (I mean real inner peace, not just the absence-of-war peace). We're all just little ants working for the queen (i.e., the *real* leaders of the world who get richer and more powerful as the common people get more tired, broke, and broken).
I pretty much share the same views. I've taken to "coping" with myself by becoming an escapist. If I'm caught up in worlds created by book/movies, or otherwise, I'm not focusing on this mundane reality. I find it hard to really hold conventional values because of this...and it doesn't bother me anymore like it used to. I actually feel bad for the people who don't see the world for what it is.
umm no julia your wrong, most asian parents hit their children forcing them to listen and be obedient (thats why sometimes children in most asian countries suffers personality disorders) but most white people gives their children time out or just argues with them thats why their children talks back or sometimes swears and hits them. and i dont think most parents in america drag their children out their room, since they have that law about child abuse.
hahaha. if some kid tried to do this in america, the parents would probably knock the door down and drag the kid out kicking and screaming. japanese parents prefer to ignore the problem and hope it goes away.
Well, there is something to say about the parents: why on earth they let their children become hikikomori in the first place? No grown up man can afford a hikikomori life without the support of their parents and their mom leaving their meal at their door step.
I watched BBC: "Japan's missing million", an American doctor in it (I don't remember his name) said: "if my son shut himself in, I'll just knock down the door and walk in". It's quite simple. yet almost no parents in Japan do that.
That's japanese culture, they are just too polite.... They willing to hide their children from being seen by others... the fault falls on society also can't blame the hikikomori everything ...I guess..
Well, about the parents, there are 2 reasons (I think so)
First: It's something about the attitude of Japanese parents. They are too soft and willing to keep their child in that state.
Second: it's the society. Seikentei - public image or how you neigboor look at you. No parents want their child status to be known by the public. That means that their family is having problem and the just don't want that.
So the number 1mil of hikikomori is not very reliable... How could you actually count?
I don't think the Japanese parents think that the way to solve the problem is to chuck the kid out. Firstly, they believe the kid is a problem and don't want to expose him to the public; secondly, what kind of person uses force to fix a problem--that's just sham, more exercise for acting.
I don't know about most of the Japanese people, but being a hikikomori is a disgrace in Japan. It's a matter of shame;anyhow, isn't the reason they become that way in the first place because of the whole rigid pressure on them. There's a lot of fakeness in Japan; everyone's like a carbon copy of another. On top of which , there is the high level of educational pressure.

Just like depression or anorexia, bulimia, Its all about choices, life is all about choices. My guess luminolsound, is that you yourself are a hikikimori or relative to one. I dont intend to hurt your feelings or get you on a sensitive fiber be it the case. But it's all on a persons will to change his emotional state and fullfil his happiness standards.

depression in the sense of mental illness and not just feeling sad doesnt have anything to do with choices...

@luminolsound It's not a mental issue it's a societal issue. These people are okay in their head, it's fine. The problem is the coldness of today's huge unhumane cities in which we live in...some people can cope with it, some even love it, and some other people develop social anxiety. It's not a "mental issue" as in "mental sickness".

@WorldOfSnakes No, it's really both, but there have always been people who shut themselves off from the rest of the world. While it may be more prevalent in Japan because of the culture there, there are many people throughout the world who just don't leave their rooms. And I can tell you, no one likes being "crazy". I tried it and don't ever wish to go there again.

In this case the cause of him secluding himself is probably because he got attacked (raped?) by those guys. He was probably a Hikikomori before that but the attack brought it to this extreme.

I've been this way for just over 2 years now and day-by-day it gets tougher. Knowing that everyone looks down on you is a very unsettling feeling and the emotions are very hard to explain.

You'd be surprised how easy it is to do that in the US. It's called online business. Also what makes one think that US families aren't like the rest of the world. Isn't the US made up of people, beliefs, cultures and societies from the whole world? I don't know about white US citizens but many hispanic, african, asian and other non european descended people tend to keep their kids under their roofs until marriage and even some of them stay with their parents until they're ready to buy a home.

I'm hikikomori. I bought designer clothes and had cosmetic surgery for fantasy amounts.
Sweden has a very, very generous welfare system compared to most countries and I just hid at home for years as a single-parasite and saved up a small fortune.
I'm also gay and have aspergers, lol, but I learned to accept things. I want to live maybe 3-5 more years, then die. In that time I want to see more of the world.
At least I'll die beautiful.

I wouldn't consider myself a hikikomori, mainly because i'm not that extreme. . just reclusive and solitary, like when i am awake i probably spend, realistically, 75% of my time sitting down at my computer but that's when I'm not at classes in university. . i have a few friends, but i don't do anything with anybody outside of academia
how extreme can an hikikoromi get? like not leaving a room or apartment for years and not communicating with people unless it's online?

Hikikomori are consumer whores spending all day on the internet, playing video games, and jacking it. They do not create. they exist in a bubble of self-pity and refuse to work to improve their lives, instead curling up into a ball.

RodavMetal92 1 year ago
I fell prey to a stalker at age 23, and by 24.5 felt so hopeless to ever exist without his harrassment, as well as so confused by everything he'd done, that I gave up and let have his desired relationship. I developed what would likely be diagnosed as Stockholm, and convinced myself that I was in love with him out of desperation for some shred of happiness and hope that i would survive this world. He became considered after time as my common-law husband, but destroyed the little happiness I had.

I eventually came to hide in my bedroom during the day and only walked through the rest of the house at night, or when the halls were abandoned. I could not comprehend how a person could bring him- or herself to go through the world with a fake face, lying about what things they believed in or not standing up for what was wrong. At the time, even pretending to be cheerful for money was unimaginable to me. I could hardly bring myself to smile in privacy. I felt cast as a failure automatically.
NachosFairy 3 years ago 2
Sunlight depressed me, and the anxiety was overwhelming. After eight months I forced myself one late night to get on a bus and see a friend in person. I sat as far to the back as possible and focused on a book. I wore make-up that would make others want to leave me alone and sit elsewhere if they should board the bus. From there, I became an essential run-away for the next three years of my life. I would return to my parents' home silently while they slept to acquire small items of food.

I did not have post-secondary education, I'd struggled against a learning disability from the age of 3 that had extended my highschool experience across six years, and I was burnt out. After all that work, I was told that I did not have the skills or personal values that were required to succeed in this world. What was the point. I hid amongst the underground of the city with others who lived this this same tale... or worse ones.

Being a hikokomori isn't so bad. You have your room, your source of entertainment, your source of nourishment. What more can you ask for? I haven't talked to my friends in 3 months. I've dropped out of High School, and I live in my mother's basement. Is it my fault? Yes, but I'm not completely to blame. When I look at people, all I see are evil, vile creatures who feed off the pain of you. Of course, this is false, I'm clouded by my fear. This is because, people were mean and deceitful...

well, still, don't be so affected and hurt by their "ignorance" as to secluding yourself from the world. can't generalize all people as the way you describe them as "evil, vile". also, you can't depend on your mom forever. sooner or later, you'll have to make relationships and socialize, just like everybody has to face their fears at one time or another, whatever their fears may be.

I'm prone to hikiko-moric (am I inventing words here?) tendencies mainly because I have misanthropic views. I've only learned about "hikikomori" about a month ago... but I've been doing these things for a long time. I guess it's a mix of social anxiety and misanthropic views, but I'd rather interface through a computer than face to face. The real world--ironically--is too reliant on acting to do anything. Online, I'm me. I'm not pretending to be someone else for sake of social integration.

lostinillusions - your story sounds just like mine. I'm 33 and have been extremely reclusive for several years, but looking back, I see that my hikikomor-ism started when I was little and increased little by little over the span of my life. Do you ever wish that you had never been born?...like your being here is a huge mistake? I know I feel this way all the time.
bratfink74 3 years ago 6
Well, I think that's due to the pressure people cave in under. Why would you believe that? If you think about it, it makes no sense.
FromBoomTown 3 years ago
I guess it's because I'm not really happy in the world or *with* the world. Maybe I should have just been born at a different time, when life and people were simpler. Nowadays, the system of the world sucks, and only a few people live truly happy and in peace (I mean real inner peace, not just the absence-of-war peace). We're all just little ants working for the queen (i.e., the *real* leaders of the world who get richer and more powerful as the common people get more tired, broke, and broken).
bratfink74 3 years ago 5
I pretty much share the same views. I've taken to "coping" with myself by becoming an escapist. If I'm caught up in worlds created by book/movies, or otherwise, I'm not focusing on this mundane reality. I find it hard to really hold conventional values because of this...and it doesn't bother me anymore like it used to. I actually feel bad for the people who don't see the world for what it is.

umm no julia your wrong, most asian parents hit their children forcing them to listen and be obedient (thats why sometimes children in most asian countries suffers personality disorders) but most white people gives their children time out or just argues with them thats why their children talks back or sometimes swears and hits them. and i dont think most parents in america drag their children out their room, since they have that law about child abuse.

Well, there is something to say about the parents: why on earth they let their children become hikikomori in the first place? No grown up man can afford a hikikomori life without the support of their parents and their mom leaving their meal at their door step.
I watched BBC: "Japan's missing million", an American doctor in it (I don't remember his name) said: "if my son shut himself in, I'll just knock down the door and walk in". It's quite simple. yet almost no parents in Japan do that.
Deadman1709 3 years ago
That's japanese culture, they are just too polite.... They willing to hide their children from being seen by others... the fault falls on society also can't blame the hikikomori everything ...I guess..
aphato 3 years ago
Well, about the parents, there are 2 reasons (I think so)
First: It's something about the attitude of Japanese parents. They are too soft and willing to keep their child in that state.
Second: it's the society. Seikentei - public image or how you neigboor look at you. No parents want their child status to be known by the public. That means that their family is having problem and the just don't want that.
So the number 1mil of hikikomori is not very reliable... How could you actually count?
Deadman1709 3 years ago
I don't think the Japanese parents think that the way to solve the problem is to chuck the kid out. Firstly, they believe the kid is a problem and don't want to expose him to the public; secondly, what kind of person uses force to fix a problem--that's just sham, more exercise for acting.
FromBoomTown 3 years ago
I don't know about most of the Japanese people, but being a hikikomori is a disgrace in Japan. It's a matter of shame;anyhow, isn't the reason they become that way in the first place because of the whole rigid pressure on them. There's a lot of fakeness in Japan; everyone's like a carbon copy of another. On top of which , there is the high level of educational pressure.
