    It's true though.

    After being a shut in for about 3 years living off comfortably on welfare for no particular reason (god bless Norway), an error in the system fucked up a pay, and thus i was a month without monies.

    After two weeks of living on stale bread and nothing else, my mind went "fuck this shit" and i went out and got a job at an IKEA warehouse.

    Now i'm working with several others at starting up a cafe.

I won´t deny it hits near home several times, actually I´ve experienced almost everything which is pictured myself (except for having friends ;_;). But what is the conveyed moral? That they should stop feeding us hikis and once we become hungry enough we will miraculously recover and pick a low-life job? Fuck you.

    Well, yeah. I didn't claim anything else either. Though that would be clear with "living off comfortably on welfare for no particular reason "

    However, being isolated from society for 3 years DO some damage (not to mention i was basically socially stunted as a kid), and it made me extremely socially anxious. Whenever i walked past people and saw them look at me, i thought there was something "wrong" with how i looked and freaked out. Same thing with hearing laughing, always feeling it was directed at me. And that made me probably visibly stressed and thus gained even more attention to the point i had to hide and breathe it out.

    The reason i pulled my shit together was because in the end, i rather work and eat good food than the same fucking bread which i still hate after all these years for one more week. That's why a job at a warehouse was alright for me since it didn't force me into being social outside taking orders.

    Well, since this is the closest thing to a proper NHK thread I'm going to get, let me ask you guys something.

    Misaki was plotting to kill herself, before she ever presented the second contract to Satou. Was she planning to kill herslef in the middle of a relationship with Satou?

    If Satou had signed the contract, could that have swayed Misaki away from suicide?

    Because she went through the trouble of telling Satou she was moving to a far away place, way before presenting the second contract.

    I can only assume she was talking about her suicide at that point.

    There's some kind of evil effect the NHK has on people. I tumbled down into severe depression after watching it for the first time, just after having finished high school and fully losing any sense of direction on where my life might be headed. I was already a shut-in at this point and never went outside besides school.

    Don't do it bro, in the long run it's not worth it. I despise myself for even "letting" myself be a wreck for 3 years.

    But i came from a troubled home so i dropped out of videregående and moved out and lived by myself at age 15, so Barne og Familietjenesten took care of me until i was 18, when NAV took over. They really didn't ask questions nor attempted to get me back into society.

    I didn't do much during these years, but i wasn't a complete shutin either. Though by 18, i grew more and more isolated and suffered bouts of depression and that's what lead me into completely shutting out the outer world and having no contact with anyone. When i was 21 i was sick of living like this though and started gradually force myself into another mindset. That "part" where i rather starved myself than eating another 5kr's bread (believe me, only eat the same food fpr weeks and you get naucious just by thinking about said food) was basically the kick in the ass i needed to get out the door and put the mindset to the test.

    I personally hate when I have to leave for classes and want nothing else to do other than wake up, eat, watch anime, read manga, play vidya, VNs, LNs, fap, then sleep again; as is the normal hikiki routine.

    I know it's considered wrong to be a leech, but... honestly, I don't see what difference it would make if I got a job or not. Either way, I'll most likely stay unsocial and alone. If I had the choice, I'd preferably not waste time and energy on a job when I could be doing fun things instead. I can't even look people in the eye anymore without getting nervous and self conscious as fuck.

    There is a part of me, though, no matter how much I hate it, that wants to be social, get a girlfriend, be accepted and what not. This is the one thing that's keeping me from just giving the finger to the entire world. I honestly wish I was a schizoid so I could just live happily not feeling dependent on other people.

    This is now a Yamazaki thread because we know this guy was a bro, I strive to become like this man, not a shut in, has a hobby he enjoys, does his best to help out old friends even though society treats him like crap.

    All filler. Same with the anime.


    I watched the anime first then read the novel, and I thought the anime was better. But after rewatching the anime, I really felt like it was way too lighthearted and all the filler was just bullshit, at the same time as I felt the novel was too lacking in content.

    Not in the novel. He was planning to drop out and become a hikky as well, until Satou appeared. Yamazaki was also kind of nuts, perhaps more crazy than Satou. He underwent a normalization treatment for the anime

    I didn't imply that. Hell, i'd say there is no real morality in this, but rather how some people use to elevate a sense of superiority to themselves. You don't want to live by their rules now, do you?

    >Either way, I'll most likely stay unsocial and alone.
    This was exactly what i told myself. Hell, even to this day i can only endure "so much" being social before i need my private me-time, but even so, after getting out more and meeting people, i had some great moments. And don't think you're "unlikable" because the majority of people are neutral towards you (which often feels like they don't like you). I guess maybe 1 out of a 100 is someone i really get along with, and the rest is people i don't get along with, nor have hostilities inbetween us. By going out and giving it a shot, you might meet some pretty alright people even if they are completely different from you.

    >preferably not waste time and energy on a job when I could be doing fun things instead.
    Believe me if you will, but fun and relaxing things are only fun and relaxing because of the rarity of these things. If you enjoy it erryday you'll quickly tire of it and becomes restless. Ever felt "nothing is fun on the internet anymore"? That's basically the same feeling when you get too much of it.

    >I can't even look people in the eye anymore without getting nervous and self conscious as fuck.
    Was just like this too, but again, personal growth does amazing things if you put your mind to it. Another thing to do is simply stop giving a fuck. Takes practice, but it works, and dunno if it actually gives confidence, but others seeing you will think of you as pretty confident and you get this "air" of confidence others notice which makes it easier to deal with people

    >There is a part of me, though, no matter how much I hate it, that wants to be social, get a girlfriend, be accepted and what not.
    Everybody yearns for this kind of happiness, however, everybody also want to get it all at once and become blinded from other simpler pleasures. I guess this is probably because how society "measures" happiness and success. To me, i can feel almost ecstatic when i go out in the wilds and camp for a few days by a lake even though others wouldn't consider just as much success because of how society says that only the whole pie can make you happy.

    >This is the one thing that's keeping me from just giving the finger to the entire world. I honestly wish I was a schizoid so I could just live happily not feeling dependent on other people.
    I know that feel too well. It's like there is some kinda transparent barrier that holds you back from releasing your full potential. You can see through it, and you can see yourself far happier than what you are on "your" side of the barrier. Yet you never attemt to really break it, you just stand and watch it, hoping perhaps that it will break by itself.

    I'm sad to say, it doesn't. That barrier will always be there, almost tauntingly. But what most people don't notice is that no matter how happy or sad you are, that barrier will always keep the same distant. Instead of yearning to suddenly break through it, use it as a carrot and walk gradually towards it. After all, if you suddenly were to reach the top moment, the climax of the story, where then would you go afterwards?

    Anyways, this all is some sleepy rambings. Take it as advice or not, but remember that everybody has to solve these problems on their own. There is no 100% guildeline to happiness. And don't measure happiness towards others and try to find happiness in the minor things in life instead of "saving" it to the end of the book.

    I were there. Then an old friend since childhood that i barely spoke to anymore recommended me this, saying it reminded him so much about me.

    The very first episode hit home on so many parts i really couldn't "excuse" away. The entire show itself was a good mix of dark comedy combined with many good if not unlikely moments that inspired me.
    Got me at least to start seeking help, and i always remember back to that feel i had when i first watched it.

    It's because the author (who is ironically still a hikki to this day) ran out of life experiences to produce another. He practically made a comprehensive treatise on hikki culture and pitfalls.

    That's called growing up. We're not like we used to be as kids, befriending everybody and antagonizing the ones we don't.

    No average person gets friends left and right as a grown up man. But most people just deal with it with a stiff courtesy as aquintainces

    OK just to clear things up I read somewhere that the author developed this idea one day when he and a friend went out to dinner due to writer's block. It's upsetting but the author is most likely not a hikikomori, I beliee the book was just intended to be satire that hit incredibly close to home. If I could have an update on the author's website or something I could at least stop wondering what the true situation behind the author's living standard is.

    This is called "acting out". The only thing to have changed is one's mental outlook. For one's life to experience drastic change because of it can be put down to a number of reasons within this "acting out". I have often surmised this is simply down to a "mental weakness", but this is devoid of importance outside of the realms of intrigue.

    I think OP and some people in this thread are missing one of the big messages that I thought was central to Welcome to the NHK.

    Satou's friends try and help him in each their own way. and to a degree, there successful. however, it didn't take much for him to slide back to his old ways.

    In the end, the only person that could save Satou was himself.

    the anime doesn't claim it is an easy process. hell, even the author of Welcome to the NHK never stopped being a hikki.

    but with small steps, and a desire to change, you can.

    Watching this show years ago made me feel a sense of belonging for the first time in my life.
    I have always been shy, not comfortable with leaving my house or being around people. I always felt depressed, worthless. But the worst part of that was I was alone in those feelings. I was only 15 when I watched it. I was at the point of my life where I didn't know where to go or where I belonged.
    And suddenly, I watched Welcome to the NHK, and I found it. The pathetic corner of the world I did belong. A place where I could cater to my discomfort of reality, and spend my days doing what I most loved. My own house. I realized there was an entire culture of hikikomori/NEET, and suddenly I knew where I belonged. My place was to be the one everyone looked down on, I could contribute to society by letting people look down on me and feel better about themselves.
    It was then that I properly dropped out of school, instead of begrudgingly going once or twice a week. It has been five years, and I am now a full-blown paranoid, delusional, terrified hiki.

    And I regret nothing. I love my life now, even if a small part of me admits there is a whole world out there I am missing out on. There's more of a world in here, on my computer, with you, /a/. My best friends and only companion on this lovely ride.

    Friendship isn't a static thing that follows a universal list of "to do as friends" rules.

    You should try to find bros to play vidya with (as i assume you do) online if you don't want to go out.

    Though you could also just have a "don't want to be social" moment. They can last for a long time, if not years. I had a couple of these times where i was fed up dealing with people and just wanted to be left alone.
