Men fall victim to Japanese anti-social 'Hikikomori' isolation trend sweeping US

Hikikomori is a term coined in Japan in the 1990s, but the anti-social trend which sees people socially isolating themselves has become widespread across not just the US, but other countries too

You're joking, but he has a good base and doesn't look bad at all.

Media always writes about men’s suffering like it’s some sort of math problem that needs to be solved. It’s not like that with women at all, where empathy is shown. There is always a huge lack of empathy when big media platforms write articles like this. Why is society so surprised that men drop out of a society that doesn’t care about them and at worst hates them?

Just man up and go to work

 

[soulless_npc]

oh jeez, couldn't possibly be because majority of young men didn't have a rosy young adulthood, have no social circle / status, sexless and single because they cannot hope to meet the ever rising standards of women and probably have so much trauma their social skills and personality are all fucked up anyway, more guys are dropping out of college, housing is ridiculously expensive, they receive no support from other males and mockery and gaslighting should they voice their concerns, should they choose to retaliate against a society that has given up on them they risk going to jail or death, which you risk every day anyways, and on top of that most likely struggle with at least one major psychiatric disorder as a result of their turbulent lives?

This, this so much.
It's like men are considered to be machines:
1)They either work a lot and are obedient. Law-abiding citizens that start beta-bux families.
2)They don't work enough and are lazy losers
and when they are 'lazy losers' they are either:
2a) Incel NEETs, the most likely. Enjoying life with video-games, anime, other hobbies. Largely hidden from society, not to be a burden.
Or they are some type of
2b) Unambitious fuckboy, the type that gets the most attention since they are better-looking. Refusing to get a serious job or settle down with a girl.

With the typical societal shaming and alienating language to try and get the 'lazy men' to work more:
'Man up'


Us men, we aren't machines.
Even though a lot of us have taken pride over what we have become. Stoic, 'efficient', rational human-beings.
'No we aren't burdened by our lifestyle, we are simply not successful enough yet. We haven't worked hard enough yet or gotten to where we want to be.'
But our happiness, our fulfillment. We know it has always had a secondary place, but we were groomed into 'accepting' this status-quo. Trying to make the most out of it.

Many of us have become a lot like machines over the years, as our dreams and ambitions have faded. And we have considered our own needs secondary to that of others or society.

Wondering whether we are malfunctional?

Are we autistic, are we mentally ill, depressed, losers, with personality-disorders, flawed, anti-social, not confident enough, immature, lazy, ugly
????????

All of this we often wonder, because we don't function like the machines that society expects us to be. And that brutal expectation is what is truly at fault here.


We are not machines.

All I can say as a concluding statement to that, is that there's no point in living in stress, (self)-hatred or bitterness about this brutal reality. Don't let societal shaming or others dictate how you should feel or act.

It will only affect your own life quality negatively. Try to stay positive. Your own happiness, life satisfaction is what counts in the end, not your hatred towards others. Or your sadness.

And try to find your own way in life that makes you happy, even if it's not what society or the people around you expect of you.

But also recognize your own coping mechanisms, the ways you escape your unhappy life.
If you feel unhappy in your room all day, lonely, unvalued. Don't stop to try and find a way to get social connection, to find that value.
Don't get stuck in that isolation, in that room, in those negative thoughts, in that negative life.

And it definitely doesn't have to be through finding an ordinary full-time job, relationship, lifestyle. Don't let that be the way out.
'I guess it's time to end my unproductive life and man-up.'
NO.

There's many ways to find social connection and the feeling of being valued in life outside of the full-time beta-bux life that society expects out of you.

It's just not taught to you and generally you aren't guided towards it as a man. So it takes a bit more effort and figuring out for yourself. Where you feel connected, valued and not pressured into being something you aren't.

Your post makes me realize Wealth>>>>>>Fame.

This will easily become the largest problem in the West in the next 20 years tbh. People are blind, society is blind.

Might as well find a way to profit from this somehow while you are alive.

I know that Hikikomori has reached the MSM in America recently because my grandma's husband made a comment about it a few days ago. IDK how prominent it is in the news elsewhere (other than the UK, from the article).

It's not common in the netherlands tbh. Nobody ever talks about anything like it.

Continental Europe and the US tend to cover very different news topics despite both being "Western countries."

i know in my heart of hearts that money and "the grind" alone isn't the answer because idk that just fuckin feeds into sick materialistic society anyways. thing is, most ppl like myself are broken people and all money does is give you more means to escape that

It's made me rethink if I would even ever bother trying to betabuxx/simp for a girl who can't be bothered to work or some shit, or where money is all she's after

I don’t mind it. It will be hilarous seeing the vast majority of women end up as chads single mother or settle for one of these losers will Make me cage so hard. Socieity may care once it starts effecting womens dating pool of males. But hey that’s life I could care less either men go this route and it’s over or men rebel and establish a right ring masculine socieity and women go back to the kitchen as it should be. Up to them

How you even profit from stingy neet with no/low income

 

[robtical]

Have they tried giving high pay instead of whining how no one want to work just to get by?

Did anyone here remember how much I whined about wage cucking back in the PUAhate and sluthate days back when I used to be a wage cuck? Which was nearly 9 years ago. lmfao.

Wagecucking sucks.

I have a girlfriend now so technically if I went back to work, I wouldn't be a workcel anymore. But I'd still be miserable working 40+ hours a week for sure. Technically I also had a gf (2/10 curry) for a good period of the time that I was wagecucking in my PUAhate and sluthate days.
