you just need to have a bachelor's degree from an accredited 4-year university. english majors get paid slightly more.

it's not hard at all to get a teaching position in Korea, if you're willing to jump through hoops. the problem is that thanks to a pedo teacher (Mr. Swirl-Face) there's been stricter requirements - you now need a criminal background check done.

You don't need to speak Korean, but it helps. The alphabet, hangul, is super-easy to learn, so you shouldn't have any trouble there.

if you have a Master's in English, yeah you get paid more; otherwise it's the same as a bachelor's. Make sure you teach at a public school, or else you'll end up getting jewed by a hagwon

The majority of the hikki type are well versed in linguistics and whatnot. Time spent for learning how to be socially compatible is instead spent on expanding their vocabulary, if only to be better than the teenage mongoloids who prowl the internet.

I doubt my parents would go for that, sadly. My dad seemed pretty interested in it, but I doubt my mom would go for it. I really screwed up in High School. I almost couldn't graduate because I barely passed Algebra 2 since homework was like 60% of the class grade. I haven't studied a day since middle school, and only do the homework I could finish up during school. She knows that if I didn't attend classes I'd just shelve the work and spend all my time fapping and trolling 4chan.

Over the past month I've just felt so unmotivated. I don't even know why I wake up in the morning. I can't even sit down and finish watching an episode of a random anime anymore, let alone a whole series. I spend all day practically sitting around drooling on myself.

Didn't you ever have real panic moments of motivation though? I used to have those before tests etc and it really gave me the drive to at least scrape into a good university.

At first I thought with all this free time I'd have would be used to watch animu but I just don't feel like it. The most I can watch is four episodes a day. Which isn't much compared to my 'Animu Marathons' I used to have instead of studying for a test.

Well, not really, but I'm as close as you can come while being at college, living in a double-occupancy dorm room, and having a job. I have all my classes done before 11AM MWF, and 2PM TR, so I can sleep until 8-10PM. I do my one job (collecting recyclables) at 10PM when people are less likely to be in the halls an my other job is working at the student radio station 3-6AM, so my only contact is the occasional "SKYNYRD!" request.

The last time I hung out with anybody (and the only time, since this semester started) was playing a bit of Wii with a kid I knew from last semester for a couple hours. I occasionally call my out-of-state best friend, but that's it.

It's not entirely bad. I'd like to have a girlfriend (not picky), but don't really care for the rest of the young adult world and most young adults. Despite awesome ACT scores, I'd have been better off with a short trade school, I think.

Nah. Not that I can recall. When I first started to fail a few of my classes my parents canceled the internet and took away my video games and stuff to try and motivate me, but I still didn't bother to try bringing them up. I just slept all day. They eventually gave up and just stopped punishing me. When I look back on how I acted I really hate myself.

Whenever I do feel motivated to start a project, I always think along the lines of "It's too late to start tonight. I'll do it first thing in the morning." And then the morning comes and I go back to drooling all over myself.

remember hikkiokomori includes people - who doesn't just "rarely" go out - no the very definition of hikkikomori is people who pee in bottles out of fear for the world outside their bedroom, people who live on the internet, with no understatements there.

So, what I get from your statement is that Hikikomori is akin to paranoia. Cause peeing in bottles cause you're too scared to go outside is pretty paranoic.

So, using this logic, I can safely say for most guys here that they're not hikikomori. They have problems, but not to the degree of being called a hikikomori.

Not really a hikki, but definitely introverted. I've got a job, but afternoons and weekends I spend strictly at home.

I did do the whole NEET thing for about six months last spring and goddamn was it depressing. I got sick of anime in that run. A lot of the days were spent just doing nothing, waiting for something to be on tv, browsing the internet for anything interesting or playing some video game to keep me distracted for a while.

I do kinda miss the solitude, though, especially on some cold ass days when you need to go to work and just keep thinking "Man, wouldn't it be awesome to just stay home today...maybe play some TF2".

I mentioned this in a previous thread actually. Having a balance between solitude and socializing is a good thing. You definately need both, but it's a question of their relationship to one another, a ratio if you will.

I for example only need to go out once every week with my friends at university. Other people may be less than that. But after working/going out, it's just so nice to be on your own. Just lying down... Not doing anything, maybe reading a book or a manga... Solitude really is bliss.

Okay, there's something that I've had experienced as far back as I could remember when I was about three years old. About once every two months, I would get these intense episodes of incapacitating fear that would recur and taper off in a span of two to three days. It seems like they are usually triggered by suddenly exposing myself to hot or cold water such as taking a hot shower or by being shocked by a splash of cold water. Likewise, these 'fear attacks' (for a lack of a better term) can also happen when I'm sleep deprived, such as waking up in the early morning to go to school or to work. Actually, there's been many times when the fear became so incapacitating that I had to stay home and hide under the sheets until it goes away and miss school or work for the day.

I can't really describe how it feels exactly very well, it's a very strange sensation. The best I can do is to describe it as feeling an internal chill creep through me compounded by an amalgamation of intense doom, fear, and anxiety.

So far the few psychologists and psychiatrists I've talked to about this have no clue what this is. The closest thing they could approximate this to is panic attacks, but I don't experience any of the physical symptoms of a panic attack such as hyperventilation, palpitations, nausea, etc., only some emotional ones. Many hours spent searching online for people who might have had similar experiences have come up with nothing. It could all well just be some kind of weird ass variety of panic attack. Can anyone else relate to this?

tl;dr Weird kind of panic attack that no one else I know has.

I do ok in social situations there are defined ways to act, like at a workplace. Other then that I'm totally lost. Can be uncomfortable, but I don't really mind that much. My couping mechanism is coming right home and reading, surfing. Figure it's pretty healthy compared to what other people do.

like many other anons in this thread, almost a hikki

I just have... uni

I go to my classes, come back, stay home all day and do absolutely nothing. It's fucking depressing when I think about it. I don't even do anything on the internet, I just refresh /jp/ and /v/ over and over again trying to find something interesting

the worst part is that even though I don't do anything, I still have no motivation for schoolwork... Like, I'm in CS right now and we have assignments sometimes that we need to upload at 23:59 max, and if you upload it one day later, you get minus 5%. If you upload it 2 days later, you get 0%. I haven't turned in one on the first day yet in the past 2 semesters.

Anonymous Sat Mar 22 06:20:55 2008 No.275188

does it count as social anxiety if its only adults and certain people? sure, im 20, and i can talk to classmates and people who i know are nerdy in some way... but if i have to talk to someone whos older than me or i see as a "superior" i lock up and end up sounding like a lost kid.

"normal" highschool students also terrify me. i can't even stand to be near them without wanting to hide from their dangerous, judging eyes.

yeah i dont go outside a lot.

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 22 06:22:52 2008 No.275199 >>275184 wow. thats exactly like me, right down to the /v/ and /jp/ part. im pretty ok friends with the other students but no one really hangs out with me and i dont make attempts. then i sit at home and turn in assignments late.

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 22 06:24:19 2008 No.275205 >>275199 Yeah, the worst part about being a total failure is how you fail at failing. Like I should be playing more Touhou and watching more animu, or honing my FPS or Starcraft skills, but often I just don't feel like it.

I have stopped and thought long and hard, for hours at a time, about what I should do not to "waste" my life. Pretty much comes to the same end; it's a huge amount of work to live that way, and I really don't have the motivation. Scientists think there is a part of the brain responsible for motivation, I guess ours are just underdeveloped.

I have not left my house in months. My longest run was several years, however I am not sure how long it was because the past blurs together in a strange way. With all of this free time you would think I actually do something each day like read a book, play a video game, watch tv, study, or practice at something but in reality I have not done any of that today. I often wonder how a full day has passed me by without having done anything.
