Does a western hiki even truly exist for real?
No.316239
>>316238there is if you don't believe it's a only japanese thing. beside that I don't know why it is a only japanese thing, what makes it only a japanese thing?!
No.316240
>>316239>what makes it only a japanese thingIt's probably the sensationalist e-celeb-fueled view of Japanese society as being a super giga conformist hell. So, because of that, being a shut-in in Japanese society would be much different than being a shut-in in a supposedly more permissive western society, deserving a special word (hikikomori).
I wouldn't say that this is entirely false, but some people exaggerate it too much. I still wouldn't say that the word hikikomori can only be applied to Japanese people.

I've been losing weight and feeling a bit better about myself so I want to leave the house and go for a walk or something. But staying at home has become so core to my identity.
Every time my family introduces me to a medical person or social worker they say something like "he hasn't left the house in 15 years". It would be kind of awkward if I casually leave the house and now I'm just a guy with no job or education but still leave the house and enjoy the outdoors like a normal person.

How do you guys deal with the fear of homelessness? I live with my step-mom and she's getting old. I'm on disabilitybux for a small slew of mental issues but without her I can't pay rent and bills. I don't know what to do.
No.316658
>>316656Ask a social worker to help you get housing.
No.316659
>>316656Forced homelessness is a meme. There are so many social services and shelters and food banks and people willing to help that it's difficult to stay on the street UNLESS you want to because you need to get high and do whatever you want. Most homeless people are just severely mentally ill and cannot handle a routine normal life for whatever reason and they end up on the street because they prefer it. If you have even a little bit of motivation to get out of it, you will quickly find housing and some kind of employment, it's really a nothingburger in a first world country, something used to scare kids into studying for school and threaten NEET children when they get uppity.

>>316658Is it really that easy? I do have a nurse, maybe I can ask her.

>>311920Got a job as a security guard expecting it to be comfy and didn't even lasted 2 days. It was at a funeral home. The hearse drivers were fucking assholes and I had to deal with people who went crazy because they had just lost a loved one. On top of that the funeral home was in a bad spot of town so I had to deal with the ocassional crackhead. Also the hours sucked ass, I had to work 8 hours one day and 12 the next day, 6 days a week at different hours. Definitely not the best job to get as a recovering NEET.

if you wanna get into japanese bbs,
I recommend eddibb.cc and open2ch.net

2chan.net is filled with oldman who do internet since 90s
most of 2ch-style bbs has shitty UI so you should use 2ch-dedicated browser(2ch専用ブラウザ)
