Or have you ever been, if so have you been able to recover from that lifestyle?

At my worst i didnt leave my house in 3 months, it was so bad that i didnt get any sunlight and i had to use pills to get vitamen D. Now im better btw

I'm more of a recluse than anything, and I'm fine with it. People generally get on my nerves, and I usually say I dislike people but like individual persons.

Technically a NEET as well, though that's more due to my mental health interfering with my ability to work.

I was functionally a neet for about a half year span, and for the last few years I've been a neet in spirit even though I've technically been in education the entire time and held a job at one point as well. I'm really wanting to move forward with my life but I'm finding it really difficult to do so.

i guess you could call me a neet rn but i should be going back into education later this year. not hikikomori. i do go outside, but i'm severely asocial + hate being around people when i don't have to/don't want to

("want" is being used very loosely here tbh)

impossible to be a "hikikomori" if you're a student 💀

(unless if you're unschooled but that's not my case at all)

Thats true if we stick to the original definition of a hikikomori. However this word has been bastardised a bit and now its also used for people that only go out when absolutely necessary

No. But I'm definitely spending much more time inside than outside
