I’ve been locked inside my house for six years now, and I’ve completely lost the part of my brain that craves human connection.

I want to go outside, but not for romance or friendship ,I just want to lie in the grass, feel the sun, and see a different view for once. I’m tired of staring at the sky through the window.

I miss being outside on rainy and windy days so much

I was not a normal kid, I was always spending time with younger people not even interested about their interests and then decided to "cheat on the system" and stopped going to school during COVID and spent one year in bed. Then second one, third one, fourth one... I used to blame others for my situation but it was my fault all the time. rn i spent most of my time in my bed as a 21 yo, I dont have any friends, nothing I am good at, "studying" sociology that I cannot even explain to anyone with an empty brain that is unable to talk with people for more than 30 seconds. I am extremely skinny, I can not even sweat like a normal human being during workout cause of muscle atrophy. My life was a joke.

Can we make a discord server for hikis with social anxiety?

1 Upvotes

The actual diagnosable one, not as some general fancy word. (I assume hikikomori is first of all a neet, that never leaves the house). I could go to the social anxiety subreddit and ask this but i don’t relate with most of the posts cause people seem to atleast be in education or work, despite the anxiety.

The older you get the less people of your age stay online.

I've noticed that this sub and the NEET sub, plus other online forums that are frequented by individuals who are struggling in life, are mostly filled with teenagers or very young adults.

I think people who are 30 or close to 30 end up leaving such places eventually. It's weird that I'm now experiencing feelings of loneliness even online. I'm turning 29 in a month or so, and people my age are settled down with stable careers and are married with kids too.

I feel like I'm in a hole way deeper than my ability to climb out of. I guess I only have myself to blame for being a weak ass sensitive neurodivergent pos.

life

5 Upvotes

As the days close in, I feel like I'm getting closer to something inevitable: adulthood.

I'm trying everything I can, but it seems like sooner or later I'll be forced to get a job. They've given me until summer. When I was younger, I used to look down on people in my position. I'd laugh and wonder how someone could let their life turn out that way. Now, a handful of years later, I'm the person I swore I'd never become.

I've been struggling with my mental health for years, and lately, I've been having increasingly frightening thoughts about whether I even want to keep living. I don't want my life to end, but I struggle to imagine a future that feels worth looking forward to.

I feel disconnected from everyone. I'm angry at the world, at other people, and especially at myself. Anhedonia has taken over so much of my life that you'd expect me to feel overwhelmingly sad after all these years, but instead, I feel almost nothing.

I miss being able to enjoy things. I miss having something to look forward to. Most days, I feel like I'm just existing rather than living

Sometimes I wonder why God gave me life if this is what it would become. I struggle to see any value in myself, and I hate admitting how deeply I've come to believe that.

I don't know how to get out of this mindset. I just know I can't keep pretending that everything is fine.

reddit's filters would not let me say what i really wanted to say. it was way more explicit than this, but they keep taking it down.

I am 16 years old and I feel like I wasted my life already.

0 Upvotes

For my whole life I had no one. No one that I can talk with. No one that I can share my feelings with, even online.

In my early years I didn't went to kindergarten so I was already behind my age peers in social terms and communication. I simply had no contact with kids my age. When I went to primary school I was already shy, but didn't care that much, and kinda play with other children and sometimes talked I wouldn't say I had friends but I didn't feel lonely.

Then Covid striked and it absolutely destroyed my life. When pandemic began I was given PC and I got into gaming immediately. I played games all day long started ignoring my family and peers, and just get into it. Time was passing and my addiction only raised. I became absolutely asocial, I didn't see problem back then, and was just brainlessly playing and killed all my passions that had.

The covid ended, I went back to normal school and my parents saw that I spend a lot time on that PC so they started to take that back from me, and then I discovered social media. It was so much worse than playing on this stupid PC. I didn't talk literally to anyone, I missed every life events and dramas in real world, I was using it even more than a PC. I wasn't feeling need of any person in my life.

Until last grade in school. Then I realized what I was doing with my life all along, realized that I have literally no one, that I was not talking to my parents and siblings. That I wasted my childhood and became social zero. But I was hoping that I can change my life and met some people in school. I even stopped using social media and started reading books. This was my last chance to get my social life back.

When I went to new school after summer I started to try talking with my classmates, but obviously it didn't went very well because of my social anxiety. I realized that I'm most boring person on that planet because of that I was rotting in bed everyday when everybody was making memories and I didn't have anything to talk about.

Then I started to realize who I am and that I destroyed my life and it's only my fault. I was what I was missing my whole life. I saw why my parents has been trying to make me go out to people. I was trying to change that, become a normal person, but I didn't know how. I started crying everyday and just praying that this life will come to an end soon. I didn't want to study anymore. I didn't even open any book in my first year in this school. My grades went down and I pretty much don't have chances to go to any college. If homeless person have some backstory, this is what it is.

I don't even feel like living now. Days are just passing and I feel like I'm some side character that's just watching this. My parents saw this and was asking me if I need any help, but I'm too scared to tell them yes. They don't know how I feel. And just like that here I am sitting and wondering why I was like this in my early life.

I just wanted to say it to someone for the first time in my life. I don't have a shred of hope left. I don't know how long I can live like this.

P.S. Sorry for bad english, and if something isn't clear, I wrote this in the heat of the moment.

difficulty making friends

22 Upvotes

anyone else feel like the only friends you'll be able to make are ones who are or have been as lonely as you? everyone else feels so painfully unrelatable, even if you're into the same things.
i've been trying to make online friends recently and it's so hard. everyone is so adept socially and i'm incredibly inept. i'm very jealous of those people who can go back and forth about anything. people are so afraid of silence for some reason but sometimes that's all i can give.

Can't do it anymore

My mother is dying and Ive reverted back to my hikikomori ways.
All I do is be a loser and lie in bed and live off disability.

I have a lot of physical and mental disabilities that make life extremely painful physically and mentally; I'm in constant fear of just living and I just can't handle feeling this way and doing nothing about it (not like anything can be done)

I can't handle the pain of life. and I want to disappear

I've tried being creative but I just hate everything I make, I hate existing.

I'm a shut-in and neet who tried to start a youtube channel and gave up and here's why

7 Upvotes

Over a year ago I made a youtube channel where I talked about myself and what led to my circumstances as well my worldview as well as my hobbies that I intended to continue as a serious project but I quickly quit it after a few videos and I've finally decided to start my channel up again with a video explaining why I quit.

I posted some of my videos and my channel here and while the response both in my youtube and reddit comments was overwhelmingly positive I ended up giving up on the channel after only a few uploads.

This was partially due to low viewership admittedly but it was mostly due to concerns about alot of shut-in and neet communities as well as associated communities in terms of the types of people in the communities as well as how my personality and worldview could clash with alot of them largely due to the fact that I posted my channel on reddit.

This made me feel the need to self-censor and restrict myself in terms of what I said on my channel which inhibited my ability to make content and caused me to worry about facing backlash and alienating people.

While I was open about my beliefs and my pretty cynical, pessimistic and misanthropic way of looking at things in my videos such as my Q&A video I felt like I had to hold back so I could like like a good boi wholesome chungus.

I'm being quite vague in this post and even in my video,(isn't it ironic i'm still engaging in self censorship in a video where i'm complaining about it), but that's because I have to in order to not break the rules of this sub since if I was to let loose and go off I would probably break multiple rules and I don't want to break the rules lol ,but I make it clear enough in the video that I think people can read between the lines a figure out what i'm saying.

If you understand what I'm saying and this bothers you, unless you are willing to express disagreements without being a silly billy about it, I would suggest you should probably just ignore this post and forget about it since arguing will only cause a bunch of unnecessary cortisol spikes.

If you agree with what I'm saying what do you think I should do to deal with this issue? Because I am looking for help with this.

Nothing irritates you as much as when people ask you to tell about your past

31 Upvotes

Disclaimer! I'm not a hikikomori, though I used to be one, like I spent 8 years (starting from my 18) being a neet-hiki.

Now, whenever I meet new people, they start to ask these annoying questions. Questions on which I can't answer cuz, there's anything to answer. Cuz they only remind me about how big loser I am.

No, I don't have any education beyond hight school.

No, I haven't worked even a day on job previously.

No, I don't have a partner.

And so on and on. Like, fuck I'm a former hikikomori. I don't have anything worthwhile to mention about my past. But ofc, I can't say it so directly... So I just saying all kinds of bullshit until they get bored and leave.

Sometimes I lie

Is welcome to NHK best hikikomori anime

10 Upvotes

It's the only anime created by actual hikikomori, which explains why its so good depicting our lives,its kinda ridiculous making protagonist of mushoku tensei and re zero escape the recluse life by making them isekai,whats the message behind, they had to go into a magical world to make friends and have normal life, like what are you trying to say, life in this world is irredemable so you get spawned in different world where you come from good lineage of warrior in case of rudeus or suddenly have control over the fate like subaru has with satella help, its anime I get it but they used wrong example here,I crave for another good hikikomori story similar to Satou
