Are there any "hikikomori" here?

I have friends but, i can't open up to them.
Maybe chucky husky and me are both waiting for the Apocalypse or smthing to end this ... (at least i am)...
I am tired of this money driven world, everyone simply wants me to do anything to get more money ... i don't want that - i just want to learn ... all my life ... to read , to write , civ3 ... :( - unfortunately i cannot commit suicide :cry: God won't let me :cry: ; and when He's not around then nature and logics won't let me :cry:

P.S. : Maybe if i get to heaven i will get that (the utopia i want) ... but my chances are preety slim :blush:

Where do you live?
 
Check my location ;) - romanian hell

EDIT: I could have just said Romania 'cause it;s the same with Romanian hell

I know but i wasnt going to assume you lived in romania. Does it suck there? If you lived near where i lived in the U.S then you could of had a new friend. Im preety much a loner also.

Yes it does :( - there are only rich and poor people (and REALLY poor)... In poor are included people that work for a living .
 
I should explain that if you want to pay the taxes to the state then you have to give 75% of your income (in the winter) (several taxes acumulated)... and if there is only one income in the house or if you are retired then you are doomed ...

Some would say i am exagerating a bit - that is not what i hear everyday on the news... well that means they live a better life than me and maybe see some good in this ...
I am sure there are other people that have a much worse condition than me and i should be gratefull for what i have ... i am gratefull, then why do i fell so bad ? :(
 
Hmm, Cata. If you hate it there do what you can to get out.

I know it's easy for me to say but if you want it bad enough you probably can do it.

Also, try to have hope and in the meantime appreciate the small things in your present circumstances. Surely there are one or two real life people you can open up to.

By the way, I also don't find thinking "it could be worse" makes me feel any better. Instead try to imagine a more ideal environment and work towards that! :)

Thanks narz :) . I'm always like that (in a depressing mood) every day before i go to sleep . It's morning now and i feel that all the things i said have dissapeared ... don't worry they will be back by evening. It's kinda wierd, remember what i said about suicide, god and logics ... well right now when i think of God and stuff i am happier , but as the day progresses i lose this effect - so i remain with logics ... and that isn't very good , because logics can only keep me alive, no comforting ... It's a really strange thing, but it happens every day depending on how much time i spend home ... the less i spend , the better my mood is ...

And about the whole moving to a different country thing, it's kinda impossible - also that would make a LOT more problems appear , and i don't know how much more i can handle... Maybe i should just hope it will change some day , a better life ...
 
I am definitely a hikikomoro

In case anybody is wondering, our preferred method of crapping without leaving the bedroom is to buy one of those vacuum tube things they use at drive-thru banks, or if you can't find one of those we just crap in our hands and throw it out the window (often at people/cars).

Hmm, I find comfort in logic. I think, well, if I keep thinking of positive and productive ways to use my current circumstances to get ahead then eventually I will (or die trying I suppose, but that beats dying defeated!).

But if believing in God or a benevolent universe is helpful than I support it. Whatever is effective is what is important. I tend to believe (and notice) that the universe supports me when I support myself so I try to do my best to find ways to support myself. I also recognize that my heart goes where my mind is. If I'm worried (in my mind) my emotions become negative. If I'm positively fantasizing my emotions become more relaxed. Of course sometimes feelings come that it seems I have no control over, in these cases I do the best I can not to feed the emotions and simply accept them and learn whatever they are trying to tell me without blocking them out.

Or you could sell it on eBay as fertilizer.

That is if you don't mind a UPS man knocking on your door!

That's kinda the problem - through logics i get : "I must fight to the death."
Through religion i get : "I must fight for my life". (fight ref to general struggle).

I know those 2 sentences have the same meaning (to a certain extent); but the way it is said is what matters (psychologicaly).
They also come in the order : Relgion, Logics.
The strange thing about how religion affects me is that it only works when i am in a good mood or in a desastrous mood (i have only been in this way about 5 times in my life - i don't want to tell what i mean through this).

But i am usualy (1/3 of the day) in a neutral or bad mood in which i REALLY don't care about religion and all that stuff. So at this stage, logics never could/can improve my mood - it only keeps me ... "hanging not falling".Exactly like i was for 5-6 years when i was an atheist.
Don't get me wrong i do not shift between 2 personalities - logics is always present, i can't get rid of it, but i sometimes forget God is around too :).

Believing in God is a much greater effort than logics.
Logics = stating the obvious
Religion = trying to go past the trivial logic that everyone knows and uses, to defy, to go past these neat little rules and pre-concieved ideas around us, to answer when others say "We don't know that".
This is what makes me want to learn more , to know and understand what others don't bother to think .
I'm not saying that by doing this i know THE answers to those questions ... no no no , it means that i have ONE answer.

Ok - phylosophy time is over ... :)

Easier said than done. ;)
 
I would well know.Shake outta of it.Just try shutting out your emotions.Dont do it in the presence of your friends unless you wish to alienate them.

I know how it feels Cata,after the war my country was pretty messesd up as well and arguably still is.
 
In lieu of some of the discussion on the aspergers thread I thought I'd give this a bump for some of the newer forum members.

I'm curious what people make of this trend & how much of it you attribute to nature (genetics, brain abnormalities, etc.) and how much to environment (social/cultural environmental, lifestyle problem, sign of the times, whatever).
 
Wow - look at my old posts. Boy, did i change a lot in 2 years. :)
 
I just found this online link to an article I read in the New York Times magazine a few weeks ago.

Is there anyone here who lives that kind of lifestyle, or once did?

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/15/m...1fdacbeb794332&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss

The text is long (6 pages) so I won't copy and paste, if curious, check out the article.

Sounds like my old roommate, except that he went to work. But when not at work, he pretty much spent all his time in his room playing WoW or sleeping. I would have to go knock on his door sometimes to see if he was still alive, because he wouldn't come out for 15 hours at a time sometimes.
 
You really have to wonder about the Japanese sometime. Where will that country be in 20 years.

They seem capable of the oddest extremes. From tentacle porn to cosplay to rabid xenophobia to this... I will never understand that culture.

Yeah, how do people live in such a weird society.... Oh wait! I'm living in the land of freaks and I hadn't even noticed. I wonder if Japanese people watch Jerry Springer and wonder how anybody lives in the US.
