Hearing all of these stories is very interesting.

After being kicked out of college in 2006 and unable to pay rent, I moved back with my mother and older brother. I did get a job until about a month ago... Those 3+ years had turned me into a weak example of a shut-in. I only left the house at night, sat in front of the computer all day, played vidya, even started to sleep until 2-3 o'clock pm. I had no income and rarely asked for money from anyone, but my father still thought I was in college so he would send me $100 probably once a month... I made a female friend online and we talk about animu and games and things, but for a really long time I physically looked terrible-- huge bags under my eyes, only loose-fitting clothes, ate tiny amounts. I have friends in this state that I've known from high school, and they're the only ones left. I'd like to just be alone and have no one know me, but I can't see my life without those last two friends.
