i haven't went outside in a solid while. everyone will hate me if i go out. everyone will jump me and harass me if i go outside. i don't care what any of you say to prove me wrong, i know my neighbors better.
the rez where i live is very intolerant of people like me. yes, they accept lgbtq+, but the flavor of neurospicy people like me? they'd rather die than be friends with people like me. yes, there's other neurodivergent people like me on the rez that have friends, but i am literally unable to mask, and therefore i cannot fit in.
the last friends i had were people i met from the library. i stopped being friends with them because i had a panic attack due to one of them pretending to know where i live.
i now have only one irl friend that i know well, and they don't come online often.

From the article posted previously:

Quote:

Developmental and psychiatric conditions

Hikikomori is similar to the social withdrawal exhibited by some people with autism spectrum disorder. This has led some psychiatrists to suggest that hikikomori may be affected by autism spectrum disorder and other disorders that affect social integration, but that their disorders are altered from their typical Western presentation because of Japanese sociocultural pressures.[36] Suwa and Hara (2007) discovered that 5 of 27 cases of hikikomori had a high-functioning pervasive developmental disorder (HPDD), and 12 more had other disorders or mental diseases (6 cases of personality disorders, 3 cases of obsessive-compulsive disorder, 2 cases of depression, 1 case of slight intellectual impairment); 10 out of 27 had primary hikikomori. The researchers used a vignette to illustrate the difference between primary hikikomori (without any obvious mental disorder) and hikikomori with HPDD or other disorder.[37] Alan Teo and colleagues conducted detailed diagnostic evaluations of 22 individuals with hikikomori and found that while the majority of cases fulfilled criteria for multiple psychiatric conditions, about 1 in 5 cases were primary hikikomori.[38] To date, however, hikikomori is not included in the DSM-5 (The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), due to insufficient data.[39]

I'm guessing that the OP isn't actually a Hikikomorii/is not from Japan and is in fact just experiencing social withdrawal, typical of ASD's.

How do the logistics of getting meals work?
In my country, several of the supermarket chains offer food delivery. It started during Covid and has grown immensely popular. People no longer need to do their own shopping if they prefer to take advantage of this service.

I think time flies by really fast when you live in your own little bubble

I mean if choosing to retreat away from society is your choice then fair play to you but try and at least find some kind of structure for your days otherwise time will just slip away and you'll lose touch completely

Maybe that's what you want who knows

What do you mean by regretting everything

Do you mean becoming a recluse or arranging the meeting
