any other hihkis here? i spend more time living in fictional worlds than reality, i'm terrified of people
please somebody tell me i'm not alone here

me, however i'm not terrified of people, i just think they're stupid (doesn't help that i supposedly got 138 iq in a irl test).
And my room doesn't look like that at all, in fact I don't even have a room anymore due to OCD.

I miss Hikkichan and the hikikomori board on the other site. Hell I even miss the older resident tripfags who were hikkis.
Now it's nothing. Either everyone got a job or there just isn't a suitable place to vent about this shit. Even other places dedicated to it like a certain dream site have people trying to help you by bullying you into being normal.
All I want to do is go back to those dreamlike days...

I'm not sure how I can function in normal society here in a certain city in Southern California. This place is a shithole. The people here are bland, rude and artificial. I have never felt more uncomfortable around people than I have here. The scenery is awful and everything is expensive. I can go on but I think you get the idea. I fucking hate this place and I wish I could get out of this prison called California.

I hiki-neeted for a few years, but unfortunately my parents got sick of it and gave me an ultimatum some months ago. Can't hold down a job for more than a couple weeks without having a breakdown and switching to a different one, but at least I'm not sleeping in my car again.
Drinking and smoking a lot helps me cope, somewhat.
I'm only able to keep working because I've got a plan, saving up to buy a cheap shed within the year, gonna toss it on some rural lot and return to my roots, living off nothing but rice, beans, Kool-aid, and high speed internet, totally alone for miles

I definitely understand the lack of decent/interesting people part, except I'm in the mid-Atlantic/South so it's old people, tourists and rednecks. Luckily this place at least has beautiful nature and stuff is affordable and there's not very many people. That and I managed to make a few actual decent like-minded friends through local anime conventions. Otherwise I'm a shut in though, always have been.

Been taking it easy for about 8 years now. The solitude and lack of anxiety have helped me figure a lot of things out and become a far better person than I was.
I think I'd be relatively happy if the internet hadn't changed so much in that time, I miss old /jp/, even the shitposting swamp it devolved into.
I've started spending more time talking to the limited circle of internet people I keep in touch with and an old part of me is repulsed by that. The internet feels crap now and Japan is putting out far less that interests me these days bar the occasional indie game that still feels like things used to.

maybe you didn't have it for enough time or yours is just mild.
i still had my room some months ago but i got to the point where i couldn't get out, not even to go to the bathroom so i just used my trash bin plastic bags.
Then they wanted to hospitalize me and i got out and locked the door.
