I tend to only really act like a hikikomori during the summer. I only left the house maybe three times excluding picking up food at the grocery store.
Now college started up again and it feels weird to be out and about? Anyone else a seasonal hikky like me?
> diagnosed as any bullshit label an $30 an hour "psychiatrist" can come up with.
Yeah because you know more about the human condition than a certified professional.

I believe it's a seasonal depression. I'm a winter type, so it's really hard for me to get higher education since I slowly lose my consciousness towards the mid-winter. I failed my winter exams and test for two years straight because of this.
I'm also a hikky.. maybe autist/aspi too, but not sure.
Atleast i'm not a NEET.
I sleep, go to work, go home, go in my room, do general stuff, go sleep. On weekends i'm watching anime, playing games, tv.. things in my room. I rarely go out.
Actually i want to stop this, but i even don't have much friends or ways/time to know new people. And even on chat/IM i rarely get myself up to talk, well write, with people.
I possibly already wrote on this thread, or on /personal/, but i'm bored so i write again. orz
> I'm also a hikky.. maybe autist/aspi too, but not sure.
And you're self-diagnosed too, that means a lot...
>>150
ok, but fact is i have some issues. i never wrote that those diagnoses are facts..
I'm a hikky. I have been diagnosed with Asperger's, but that was a few years ago and I think I've grown out of it/ the whole thing is a load of bullshit
>>149
You're a hikki and you go to work.
Mmmm...
Anonib hikki board is at http://anonib.com/hikikomori/ nowadays.
I've had periods in my life where I never went outside, I'm not autistic in any way though, just social anxiety (no idea where that came from either). The last 2 years I often stay home for a week or 2 every few months or so when it all becomes too much for me. I fear for the time when I have to go get a job, because then I really won't be able to do that anymore.
Nah, I don't think I'm autistic or anything like that,
but I basically...
Wake Up - Go to School - Come home - Go in room - Go on computer - Go on computer more - Eat - Watch TV - Go on computer - Sleep.
I dunno if that's considered hikki, but I really don't talk to anyone at school and I just stay indoors all day. Is it hikki?
>>155 That's pretty much what my life is when I have school. That's not hikki in my book. Out of curiosity, what is your life like during the summer or winter breaks?
In the breaks, It's basically that but erase school and coming home.
So I'm in my room 24/7 basically.
I'm a recovering hikky on antidepressants. Also, I think I may have got AnonIB into trouble again during a recent paranoid episode. With Google, no less. :(
Oh, and also my wallet containing my Free Software Foundation membership card is missing. Police don't seem to be overly concerned. :(
Like the above poster, I am also a recovering hikikomori.
I stumbled across this page after looking up the term "hikikomori" in Google to see what kind of pages I'd all find on the subject of the hikikomori phenomenon.
A few weeks ago, I signed up to a site called HikiCulture; I'm not sure if any of you are familiar with it or not, but besides the AnonIB hikikomori board and this place, it seems to be the only option for hikikomoris to go to for discussion - http://www.hikiculture.com.
Anyway, it looks like this place has been somewhat active recently; I will try to post often.
i think http://4-ch.net/personal/
is a better board for this..
I've been a hikikomori for 5 years, ask me anything.
I live with my dad, I go outside about once every couple months, I socialize with other people a couple times a year and people seem to like me. I'd like to think I don't have much of the problems shut-ins have. So why am I a shut-in? Good question. I should start studying to get into a college...
For you school goers (recovering hikkis, or people who just go to school and nothing else, not really hikki but close enough), what do you do during your breaks?
I have done this (in order):
Nowadays I just sit quietly with people from my class, but it's not really helping me socialize much. I'm curious what other people do.
>>159 That's a nice, active, forum (with some focus on autism too, if you have that), but it's unfortunate the administrator there is a manipulative bastard. Those kind of admins always eventually cause the downfall of their own forum.
I don't know if I'm considered hikikomori, though I'm pretty sure I'd be considered "parasite single" or "twixter".
29 year old male, just finishing his first college degree after getting out of a 5 year "serious" relationship that drove him to become obese (sitting at 300 lbs now).
I don't go out much, as the earlier poster stated it's usually fast food restaurant drive through, school, fast food restaurant drive through, home, internet, sleep. repeat until weekend then internet, internet, sleep. i'm not incredibly antisocial, i just feel like i'm not cool enough for most people to want to hang around with anyway.
sad thing is, it's been about 5 years since i've had the luxury of a female who desires me, or any romantic female human contact of any kind. (hugs/kisses.etc) and being a fat guy, no girl that's remotely attractive would waste two seconds on me.
sometimes i think i'm going to be alone forever.
>>164
every time i use the toilet. XD
my problem is basically 3 things.
-Poor diet (aka the twice a day visits to fast food)
-Poor metabolism (i lose weight EXTREMELY slowly, even at this weight, when i actually go through the whole rigmarole of planning meals, eating 3times+ a day super healthy low fat meals (protein and a complex carb) and excercising (at least an hour of cardio a day 5 days a week) i still only manage to lose 1-2 pounds a week. while i can gain like 3 pounds a week no prob)
-lack of motivation to exercise due to inadequate returns (see number 2)
most of my weight is torso weight, with some on my thighs but not much comparatively. the only upside to being fat, i have super buff legs lol.
>>165 cont.
probably doesn't help that i'm 5'6 either...
Increase your exercise program every week. Maybe that will help. And your sleeping time shouldn't exceed 11pm.
Is anonib.com/hikki dead? I haven't been able to access it for the last few months.
>>168
I'm quite sure it got kicked off the host because of complaints again. Sucks for hikki, but understandable considering the content on some other boards. There were really only 3 boards or so on there that had some content you wouldn't find elsewhere.
Maybe anonib will return someday again, but to be honest I don't really care if hikki comes back or not... the number of users and the quality of posts both seemed to be declining.
found this while looking for the anonib board. pissed that it's gone, the only place i ever looked at there.
heard some of the /hikki/ people are on twitter but it's not the same. time to start a board dunno.
You may find interest in this board. It was started by someone from 4chan a long time ago. The abbreviation means True Otaku Hiki Neet Organization - only a semi-serious name. It's fairly oriented to the anime/manga/touhou/idol crowd however.
I don't think anonib/hiki is ever coming back D: I am glad I found this on the third page of google's search results.

Yesterday I signed up for therapy by filling out an online form. The site they had was quite impressive and the methods they use seem quite thorough, with lots of opportunities for feedback. I had to give a brief explanation of my (hikki) problems, it took me like 2 hours to write it. I was expecting them to call me all day, so I was nervous all day long, but no call today. Hopefully they'll call me tomorrow because this is too stressful.
Aspergers sufferer here (Yes. diagnosed professionally) . Its horrible, maybe its the fact that its coupled with other mental problems but I have fucking failed at everything I ever do in life. They say aspies are really really smart individuals and do well in life. Well for me I have done horrible at everything, I was never one to be overly smart infact I barely even understand any of the basic shit thought in secondary school. I never arranged things in patterns and orders like they say either, just one messy fuck. I have however taken an interest in a particular area (aviation) but to be honest, I really dont know fuck all other than the names and models of a few aircrafts.
Failed school, didn't qualify for college and nobody wants me to work because I have no qualifications and when I have worked I can't seem to do it right even if its basic shit like operating a cash reg. This has fucked my life over, why couldn't I just be born normal? FUCK!
Never really was a hikki, as mentioned above western society doesnt really permit it but I did stay in my room as much as I could playing WoW and other games for a good few months, only contact I got was with my parents and when I went to the shops (which I had to be forced to go and it made me nervous as hell). I'm improving though!
God, this thread. I have no words.
Drugs made me normal.
I misread that as "Drugs make me mortal."
...it's a depressing thought.
God help me. I've lost everything.
Hello! I made this board: http://vip-quality.org/neet/
Please post there if you're a hiki! It'd mean a lot to me.
I don't talk much, because really I have nothing to say
But when I do nobody really cares

Please comment.
I have book marked your board. That is one thing I miss, smaller, less known text boards. They used to be really common many years ago, but people lost interest. They are my favourite way to communicate with the real world, even though most of us are in similar situations.
>>186
Why do you think that people don't go on textboards as often?
2012, year of the textboard ...
Forgot to shower today...
Oh, and I failed my driver's test.
humbug
i have never seen a girl's tittehs outside of anime
My only joy in life is alcohol and anime.
And I just stopped drinking....

But it does. It's happening in every postindustrial society.
