um fenómeno de auto-reclusão

While total social withdrawal has been claimed to be mainly a Japanese phenomenon, there are reports of similar phenomena developing in South Korea, Taiwan and China. Moreover, clinically speaking, there is little difference between hikikomori and more formal clinical definition of people suffering from acute social withdrawal due to depression.

Sometimes referred to as a kind of social problem in Japanese discourse, the hikikomori phenomenon has a number of possible contributing factors. Young adults may feel overwhelmed by modern Japanese society, or be unable to fulfil their expected social roles as they have not yet formulated a sense of personal honne and tatemae - one's "true self" and one's "public façade" -- both of which are needed to cope with the daily paradoxes of adulthood.

When a BBC program claiming that hikikomori was a Japanese phenomenon was aired in Britain, the BBC home page received numerous messages from viewers in the United Kingdom saying that they had personal experience with hikikomori and that it was hardly a phenomenon particular to Japan. Even the most casual search of anglophonic materials will show similar phenomenon may be found in the United States, Australia, Canada, Britain...

i sleep in the day time and stay up at night time so obviously i am a hikikomori. i mostly just get on the computer or watch movies until i go to bed. i do talk to people occasionally but i wouldn't consider the people to talk to my friends. usually just workers and school students. i really don't have any friends.
