topic.

also, I go outside my habitat like, 2-4 time a month for random reasons, that also, while finding as many shade as I could and with the least probability of meeting someone I know.

I went to see Hancock today, so I guess I get out occasionally. But I've noticed that I've probably transferred to freeter status recently. I guess I don't fit in here as I used to hehe.

Well isn't the first step of curing 'our disease' is by admitting our conditions first?

I went out for quite sometime today, doing administration for my new uni, and with alot of protection from the cloud and rain, so I didn't felt really bad today.

So you're trying to say here that you do home schooling? wow!

Well, at least your problem is outside your body my friend, would you like it better if it why you have this problem because it was tattooed to your DNA? like me.

In any case, and by any chance, can you disappear/limit your contact with your parents if you move out and go independent?

>.< Ouch..

Not going to ask why you didn't go to college, but in my side of the world, if you don't get at least a degree, it's hard to find a non-operational job (I only have a Diploma now)

OK, so now we know what you don't have or like, try identifying things that you do have. Also, conflicts are good, you can see for yourself that without conflicts, anime plots are going nowhere.

I dont realy have anything I care about since people is what I really care about, all I got is a few people I talk to online and a major problem with one of them. I am very non angry and non violent so thats why I hate conflict, I cant take it well.

So you're trying to say that you never went outside for whatever reason for a very long time? Not even once in a red moon?

Uni life sux. Seriously. I went out 4 days/week and all my classes starts, at the earliest, 11 at noon, which sux big time coz the sun is just perfect to fry me to dust.

Anyway, so how far have you ventured out of that lil space you've been seeing for most of your time? ;p

I have to get out on weekdays to go to school. I don't really talk to anyone there though, unless I'm forced to give an oral report, or called upon by the teacher..

I go to stores every once in a while too, but other than that, I don't get outside of home.

Well, I haven't been really "social" outside since 5th grade, so it's kind of hard to break the habit. Plus I do have a few friends outside of school.

I'm not a hikikomori anymore, since I got a part time job, where i need to travel under the sun for a torturing 900 seconds to get there. But other than that and college, I still hide in the safety of my room.

I go out after dark or in the very early morning hours for exercise sometimes.. although during winter I do it inside more often.. aside from that, I only go out for buying food, or if my family is forcing me to go to something, which usually inevitably ends up being really awkward no matter what it is. I also teach a couple little girls weekly.. I don't like doing it but my parents basically promised to their friend that I would do it, without bothering to ask me if I wanted to.. and they continue to guilt me into doing it because the kids get upset if I don't. I'm always glad once I get that over with, although at least it's just dealing with little kids, they're really affectionate and non-judgmental as expected for 5-8 year old girls. Being social is tiring on me because I'm always lying and faking my personality and being cautious of what I say and do.

Hello. First post and all of that.

I go "out" between 3 and 5 times a week based on my work schedule. I cook hot food, prepare salads and wash dishes at a local delicatessen, so all of that time is spent stuffed in a tiny, stainless steel back room or in front of a hot oven and set of deep fryers. I keep out of the way of everybody else because they have a habit of looking at me like I'm insane if I ever make eye contact with them. I do whatever shopping is necessary directly after work once per week.

The rest of the time I have is spent at home with my curtains drawn and door shut and locked tightly behind me. I don't mind the lack of Vitamin D so much.


>my work schedule
>hikikomori
That does not compute!

I have been a Hikikomori for about 3 years now. I live in an apartment that is provided buy a program for mentally ill young people (I have Schizophrenia and I am also a high functioning autistic). But yeah part of my problem is I have an apartment that is paid for by the government and I also get social security income for food and stuff so I have no real need to stop being a Hikikomori... I leave my apartment like once or twice a month to go down the street to the convenience store for food but its always at like 3 or 4 am and I have headphones on so I don't talk with anyone I just grab some food and give the cashier the money.

After reading some posts I see many of you have a hard life. Well I'm not a "real" Hikikomori. I don't go outside so often, but I meet many friends in holidays and after school and go outside for walking or rideing my bike. I'm not so social but i'm happy i have friends who can i meet all the time. But I realy hate the society, with whose rules and cultural and social norms. I feel like everybody watching on me 'cause i'm different. Think that the people talk about me bady, but actually it doesn't care me. I do my think and dream my dream. I have frieds and a family.
Well now back to the topic... go only out:
1) meeting friends
2) need to buy something
3) my parents force me to ^^ (visiting some relatives)

um the last time I went out other than going to college 3 times a week was...about 5 years ago I think I hate going outside its so boring and cold (in Arbroath where I stay) I’m 17 I should probably go out places with my friends ect but I would just rather sit on the computer and play games/ watch anime than go out. I only realised yesterday that I was a Hikikomori after I watched the anime chaos;head the main character is partially me (though I doing think everyone is trying to kill me.....)

I only go out to to pick up my packages from the post office, run errands, go to the salon, shop for necessities no one will buy for me and sometimes on Friday nights for food. Otherwise I wouldn't be caught outside, I really do not like the heat and the sun burn, plus sweating it causes me.

I've re-applied to my university earlier this year and got accepted, it will take effort to leave home on a regular basis again but its something I must do, but I will take night classes where possible...

Sometimes not much, been a Hikikomori for 3 years now i think. My record is this year, i have been out like 15 times already XD Hikikomori life sux really, havent had any friends for like 3 years str8 now. Well it was one, but we only meet 1 time. :3

Well its kinda booring isnt it? The days are like waiting for a new naruto to come out or something like that, or some manga/game from fedex..

I hate all weather except rain.. so i will prob go out when it rains, all the ppl are inside anyway XD

It started when i lived with that girl 2 years, jumped off school couse she had some troubles in hers, so i was going to search for her school the next year but she dumped me :( And boom!! Hikikomori life, i dont need to go out to get food couse i live with my grandparents XD but its been 10years, so i lived here when i was a social being anyway.

And im going kinda Otaku the last year XD but yeah its pretty normal for a Hikikomori right?.. Im going to a anime con next year anyway Woo hoo? Or maybe not so wooho, depends XD Cosplay..Satou ofcourse? :3 Can be normal and at the same time act like the character XD Awesome!!

But ppl doesnt scare me or well yeah.. it can be troublesome sometimes.. And if i do something wrong i will think of it even a year later XD i got a good memori 2.. so.. darn it!

Ive tried to start with study again but.. darn it XD it wont work.. o go for like 2 hours a day in a mounth or something.. then i drop.. hah XD Yeah but i think it will turn out just fine soon.. Im been kinda much out lately and in the capital so.. Yeah! but now it gets cold again soon (Sweden you know) so i will prob be inside the hold half year :3 But i will try to go out to anime con's more and more, meet ppl and that. The biggest problem = i dont got money for it really XD or yeah i got kinda muchi muchi games, so i can sell them like always. It kinda hurts to do that doh.

Besides going to Institute where I study, all the free time I spend at home. I have only 1 friend and we see each other like 1 time a month, and it may not be exactly 'outside', he can just visit me.

I'm living like some kind of hikikomori for about a month now. I get out almost everyday, but only to jog a little toward the mountains around my mother's house, or to buy some stuffs in late afternoon. When my childhood friends came back from their studies (during holydays), I go out with them with pleasure, but the rest of the time, I don't feel like it. Don't want to mix up with people. Recently, I took some driving lesson for one or two hours on some days, then came back home and put my pajama on again. But as I said, I live at my mother's house actually, and she wants me to get a job. I don't want, but I have to. No work seems to fit me and I don't want to be forced to go out and see people on every days while doing things I don't like. I just want to read mangas, comics and visual novels or watch animes, I don't give a damn about society, jobs or the outside world, nor it did about me.
