/feels/ - personal experiences

I don't keep track so several months probably sixish which qualifies me to be a real hikki according to the Japanese government's definition. I do rarely step out to get the mail though. I haven't been out past our lawn since last May.

Not long, actually, since I'm responsible for walking my family's dogs most days. Longest I've been inside without even checking the mail or walking dogs has been three days, I think.
Otherwise I unfortunately am near hikikomori, though not by choice. I only hung out with five people in the entirety of 2016, and generally just one or two times each in that year. And only yesterday did I hang out with a group of people, for the first time in over a year.
I'm introverted, but I know I'm wasting my youth: when I was in college, I had friends who were fun and nice to be around. Now I do nothing but stay trapped in my house since there's no public transportation. There's nothing in the world but me and my computer, and my family bothering me.

>I haven't been out past our lawn since last May.
Why? I want to know more about you and your life. I'm reminded of old /jp/ now.

Around 4 month in the beginning of last year. Can't say it was any weird or somehow different, though. I think physical movement does not speak too much about social isolation - walking 10 km a day all around town does not make you less lonely.
Last time I spoke to a peer face-to-face was 3.5 years ago as I only talk to relatives or their (somewhat senile, over 50 years old) friends that come to visit the house. For some reason, older people are easier to talk to.

About 3 or 4 months.
Normally I go outside when I need to get food and such things, though. And in those rare times I go outside, I go during dark hours of the night and take paths that I'm sure I won't run into people on. I've had an irrational fear of other people for quite some time now.

how do you food though.

i think older people are easier to talk to, because aside from their old friends they are equally as lonely. It's very "refreshing" to talk with someone whom they don't know for 30 or so years

Well If going to work counts as getting out then I got out a lot. Otherwise not much.

But I got the flu then swine flu back to back once and I was in bed for nearly 3 weeks.

not them, but most major chains take orders online and deliver groceries to your doorstep (or further, if you're not autistic). you can get a months worth of food inside a decent sized freezer, thus reducing meatspace interactions down to a dozen times a year. all the fresh food, bread etc, will all go in too and thaw as needed, so its not like you're really missing out. ;_;

There's no appealing destination outside for me to venture to except possibly to the library, but that's 15 minutes away and I hate driving. I don't have a modus operandi outside of the stereotypical NEET life so I have no place to go because I am not "going places." I always had a quiet admiration for people with business that are constantly on the move at train stations and airports. My uncle who worked for Gulfstream was like that, always getting shipped off somewhere. If there was one word to describe my life, it would be detached; nothing has ever felt real to me - I have never been able to grasp that people "do" things no matter how hard I try. I'm not a /jp/sie and don't even like 2hu; they would call me a filthy quaternary. Even I am not friendless though, but the only regular social interaction I can count on is from Omegle.

Being a dysfunctional person, I live with my parents. I know not what I would do without them. And yes, for a while I ate almost nothing but tendies it felt like.

I never really "didn't leave the house"

I mostly just slept during the day, and went to walmart at 4AM for groceries, delivery is expensive.

Probably around 4-5 weeks, but only really once.

I went almost a year without seeing daylight though, that was pretty weird. Now I go for drives at night, so I leave the house pretty much daily.

Thank god for amazon and the alfabay, last time I left the house was to go to the hospital because I was coughing blood. That was probably 4 months ago. Before that, i hadn't left for a year.

Recently just ended my hikkidom. I was a hikki for almost 3 years only leaving my house occasionally for walks around my small neighborhood. Sometimes i'd go somewhere once every few months with my father.

I don't know the exact amount of time but the longest I went without leaving my house was probably a few months.

I'm a wage slave in as much as I work 2 days a week back to back… so I stay in 5 days a week. Once I complete my training and can work from home then I imagine I'll never see the light of day again.

What job? Congratulations by the way.

I'm pretty much the same except I have to wage slave 3 days a week
Oh what I'd give for that extra day off!

I started homeschooling in high school so I had a 4 and a half year stint of going out once every two months with my mom to the store or something, but staying in for all the rest. I felt isolated and like I wasn't myself when I went out, but now that I wage slave, I feel like my job is just an extension of my room considering I work in a cubical job. No matter what, I feel tired and dead inside but its a comforting feeling now.

It was for 4 months just after uni drop out. Going out once a week for meal before closing hours. It was destroying me phisycaly and mentaly. Especially neurosis fucked me up a bit and now I'm recovering myself piece by piece. Wageslave now for 5days/week as a helpdesk. I hate this job because of boredome and not learning anything new. Trying to learn programming and web dev now to do something paid from home and want to go to the uni again.
