Nobody on /jp/ is actually a hikikomori.

Yeah, I'm just a sick ass nerdballer NEET

>>8324036
They just pretend and think that it's actually hardcore to not breath pure air or even go to the comfortable toilet and wash their teeth to have a mint-taste mouth, and of course, eat.

I think being a "hikki" is a really stupid and pretentious thing, at least if you aren't really mentally sick, but 95% of "hikkis" aren't sick, so yeah.

I think at least half of them are lying, but they're not all lying.

>>8324052
You're just jelly that I have 80% of the disorders listed on Wikipedia's "List of mental disorders" page.

>>8324069

I think this is the pretty obvious answer.

>>8324069
I think that at least 2/3 are lying.

There's probably been like, 3. I refuse to believe so many people on /jp/ have such good parents. In GRORIOUS NIPPON it makes sense because parents would suck their own kids off. In Western society you have to do _some_ things yourself. I'm a complete shut-in but I have to go downstairs to make meals and do small-talk, or even go to the shops to stock up on energy drinks and beer.

>>8324070
Before you criticize people for labeling themselves with disorders, watch around 40 seconds of this at least.

This entire ``science" has been highjacked for profiteering. They actively look for reasons to fill you up with drugs to make money. Legalized drug dealers, who trick you into believing you need that shit.

I hope that's at least changed your perspective on what a sham the whole idea of a disorder is.

I don't even remember the last time I've seen anyone seriously state on /jp/ that they're a hikki.
Pretty sure none of us are really at that extreme.
Social recluses? Probably 70% of us, but that's about it.

You're right. I'm not an 'actual' hiki as one point in my life, I have to leave the house due to having an appointment or being forced to get fresh air.

This is all a given though. Mental disorders are human constructs.

Not him, but why?
I guess he was suggesting that, while having real world implications, psychiatry (and related fields) are abused to the point where they're no longer a real science in some circles.
If it was because of faggot quotes, go read your ASCII (the original document).

I haven't left my apartment since march. You smalltime non-otaku mind your own business.

>>8324122
what the ``heck" is with her accent?

>>8324158
Because he doesn't know "this"
Not him, yeah right.

I spend, what, 23 and a half hours in my room a day? How many does it have to be for me to be a hikikomori?

>>8324172
Why not 24? Do you have normalfag urges to go outside of your room? I guess it can't be helped.

This thread is full of ``autists".

>>8324172
Have you seen your parents in the last two months?

Define hikkikomori.

>>8324183
>>8324172
How much pretentious can this shitty thread get?

>>8324122
>Let's say you like dating 15 year olds. Well, that is definitely socially unacceptable, so you're going to be labelled with a mental disorder, and go to jail.
I laughed. Her argument would have been much better if she didn't throw this in, because it'll make all the normals disregard it out of rabid hate for pedophiles.

But everyone should know this is why "disorders" are bullshit without having to watch this.

I haven't been outside in like six hours.

I don't see what's hard to believe about me never leaving the house.

i leave the house to buy weed and acid
thats it

>>8324189
I usually see my dad once a day. He knocks on my door before he goes to work and says "goodbye" and again before he goes to bed. If I'm awake at 6 PM, he offers to make me dinner. I usually accept because I feel bad otherwise.

>>8324183
I don't store much food or drink in my room and I don't have a toilet, so I have to leave. I also take short baths/showers.

>>8324205
There really is no argument. She is correct, that's exactly how disorders are categorized.
Afterwards, they'll offer to sell you some pills to fuck with your head. You don't want to be a freak do you?!

>>8324205
It wouldn't necessarily be better, there would just be less people flickshotting that X on the tab. They'd still pull some moralistic bullshit out of their ass even if they started to agree with her one someone mentioned little grills.

>>8324228
How old are you, Tokiko?

>>8324234
>There really is no argument
Even if she's right (and she is) she still needs to make an argument for it because people will disagree with her. People don't have to accept the truth just because it is the truth, never stopped them before.

OP YOU ARE CURRENTLY ===-THIS MAD-====

>>8324234
That is exactly what disorders are, anything not normal, or what 51% of people do or are biologically inclined to do. There problem is with medical professionals throwing pills at people for this shit, and people being stupid enough to accept something which is only going to worsen their situation.

Pic related.

>>8324300
>implying anyone should give a shit about homos being defined as 'normal' nowadays

If they want to fuck their own gender, let them. Fags can be some of the most obnoxious people around, and I personally think their practice is distasteful. But as long as it's done privately, and with unquestionable consent, it's no worse than jacking off to 2D characters. No harm is done and everyone experiences their own particular fetish.

>>8324832
It's the same way with everything, you have that vocal minority that loves to flaunt their shit and seems completely aware that it makes people angry, and make the rest of the group look completely retarded, just look at the bronys.

Been a hikikomori for 10 years. Believe me or not, I don't care.

>>8324832
If they tried to redefine homosexuality as a mental disorder you can bet your shit that all the faggots would raise hell about it.

>>8324877
It's comfortably numb. I've got money, food and my hobbies.

>>8324221
>buying weed

>>8324877
do you count gaps where you were forced to go outside? i don't really know how to describe my length well. 5 years straight, but even before that i was staying inside for 10 months out of the year.

>>8324941
I myself go out once a month so I don't starve, but I don't do much else.

I'm just a NEET.
My anxiety doesn't act up as long as I'm anonymous, so I don't have too many problems shopping or being in a crowd.
But anything requiring more personal interaction is hell.

/jp/ likes to talk about "exploiting" the welfare system a lot, but that's just a word you use to make yourselves feel better for actually needing their gracious services so you can feed your retarded autist ass.

>>8324988
I've got a job as a warehouse database manager, just because I'm a lazy shutin doesn't mean I'm going to rely on handouts.

The hikikomori problem is actually Chinese propaganda.

ITT: Nearly everyone on /jp/ is a normalfag. Board, I am disappoint. Even fucking Sudo is a better poster than you people, by virtue of the fact that he is actually NEET and not a wage slave.

>>8325024
I organize a spreadsheet for about an hour a day and get paid $300 a week because I got good grades in my IT classes in highschool. It's better than $200 a month relying on disability or something. I don't even need to leave the house!

>>8324891
I never said or implied they wouldn't. I said let the fags be deemed normal and fuck their own kind. Just because I dislike something doesn't mean there's anything innately wrong with it; it just means I have a low opinion of their kind. So it goes.

>>8325024
you're late to the party about this. as an actual hikikomori i always hated being grouped with all the role-playing NEET in between high school and college on summer break.

hikikomori, NEET on benefits, or bust.

>>8325024
It's the sad truth.

I'm not exactly a hikki.
Yes I do have a lot of problems.
It's very hard for me to speak to people, one of the reasons for that is that English is my third language and I have zero confidence.
If I talk to people then it's usually nothing personal, I don't feel comfortable talking about myself and just talking in general. Especially about my interests.
I lost contact with my old friends when I moved.
I'm in my last year of high school, I used to be a very good student but I have missed and skipped a lot of school lately, just because I didn't feel like getting out of my bed and because I cannot go on with 6-4 hours sleep a night. I am depressed and I take antidepressants. On weekends I usually stay in my room. I go out only with my family. I spend most of my free time on my laptop. On holidays I can spend days in my room/my parent's apartment. I'm not afraid to go outside, I just have no reason to. I do go out for basic stuff. I don't even wanna know what people think of me in my school. My family is no help, they don't care and they have plenty of problems of their own. What am I? I will certainly become a hikki if I continue like that.

Cheers, it's my first time being and posting on this board. Hello 4chan.

Hikikomori is going to be a China problem in 30 years from now. Maybe we'll be watching Korean cartoons by then.

/r9k/ would have more legitimate hikkimori's than /jp/ for sure

They're the lowest of the low, the bottom of the barrel of society.

Pretty much everyone on /jp/ is just a poser trying to fit in and act abnormal

>>8326149

Collecting figurines and fapping exclusively to 2D is abnormal to many people.

>>8326149
Speak for yourself. I'm a genuine loser with no future.

I haven't been employed, educated, or in training for 6 years. Just waiting a few more years until I can vanish from this world after finally becoming a wizard.

>>8326149
A lot of /r9k/ wants to change themselves though. I think living as this but not wanting to change is probably a level lower.

Then again a lot of people on /r9k/ I have noticed are from /jp/. /jp/ also has a ton of people who go to college.

I'm not a hikikomori but I am a NEET, and a genuine autist/general social cripple. I actually get out a lot though, go to gigs, etc. but it regularly gets too much for me so I just feel like staying at home. The one time I worked I Collapsed after 6 months. I need serious therapy but the health system here isn't delivering.

At least I don't live in the US though, or the UK where you get shit all disability. I actually want to make something of myself some day, but I don't look down on others like me who may be a little more intimidated, plus I don't intend to get a regular 9 to 5 job - it doesn't work for a lot of people, and it's unnecessary when autists often have other things they can do better.

>>8326149
>Pretty much everyone on /jp/ is just a poser trying to fit in and act abnormal
This is the way it should be.
None of us care about whether you earn 100k/year or has a hot banging girlfriend. All of us are basement dwellers with questionable hobby.
The people coming here wanting to be a normalfag just go to /r9k/. /jp/ is a place for normalfag wanting to not be one.

I like to believe that most of /jp/ is extremely depressed or something. Like my former friends, as they enter their mid-teens they start getting very bi-polar about things and end up becoming depressed, thinking their life is shit, etc etc. So they post about on the internet and since we only know them as anonymous, we take it as truth.

I've never been a hikki or NEET. Only thing is I don't have any friends and I like otaku culture, so I post on /jp/.
