>Same. That and a slot for food & water to be passed through to me & back again, along with a pneumatic chute for disposal of garbage. I'm not sure I'd ever leave my room if I had those things. If for nothing else, at least it would be convenient.
Same here
>I've never understood how can one can be a true hikikomori (as in they never, ever leave their room) unless they'd then also be willing to piss in bottles and shit in buckets and or bags to accomplish it. Which, as you already mentioned, is probably one of the most disgusting things I can imagine. I mean, god damn, just use the fucking bathroom. Is there actually reports of people doing this, or is it just a meme? If there is, then man. Hikikomori or not, people like that should be shot out of a high velocity cannon towards the sun. I don't mean to sound judgemental, it's just that I'm pretty obsessive when it comes to keeping my own space nice & clean and I absolutely can't stand or wrap my head around slobs who treat their rooms like crap. I'll never understand all those pics out there of hikikomori who are content sitting in a pile, or even a mountain, of their own trash. Personally, it's enough to make me gag just looking at it, but whatever. To each their own, I guess. I'm just tired of how associated it is with being a hikikomori.
Those kind of extreme cases of the hikikomori condition are actually extremely rare according to research and studies done in Japan on current and former hikikomori people the majority of hikikomori even though they are mostly housebound and spend all of their time in their bedrooms still go outside occasionally such as at night to the grocery store or a 24 hour convenience store to buy necessities for a walk and so on hell i am currently learning Japanese and i have had the opportunity to talk to some Japanese hikikomori people on some other sites and what most of them have told me is that even though they live with their parents and spend all of their time in their bedroom at home nearly every single day they still go outside like to the store for a walk to the dentist to the doctor for Neetbux (and yes that exist in Japan) and some visit friends on super rare occasions too ( if they have any that is though and that is not common) in-fact i would argue that most of the users on here are like this too. The thing is the Japanese media and even now here in the west only show you the extreme cases of the condition the whole piss bottles refusing to speak to anyone at all (Including family) not throwing out any garbage and parents leaving food outside the bedroom door are not the majority of hikikomori but if you have been isolated for a long time i think there is a chance of you falling into that more extreme version of this way of life in Japan there are hikikomori still in isolation today who have been isolated since the 70s 80s and 90s they are the first generation hikikomori in their 40s 50s and 60s and their parents are way past retirement age they are part of what is called the 20/30 problem.
Video related is an interesting video of the American psychiatrist Alan Teo talking about hikikomori.
