Hikikomori(galge otaku): never left room, food on tray brought to him by family member which is placed on the floor of the door entrance, Acute Social Withdrawal (apparent angst/uneasiness/refusal at the thought of going outside), social interaction is mainly online Recently, I finished watching two j-dramas: "Densha Otoko"(3rd rewatch lol) and "Freeter, Ie wo Kau" In Densha, there are definitely boundaries/differences shown of Hiki, NEET, and Freeter otaku through the supporting characters which all interact through 2ch. He lives alone and goes out to buy food or to relax outside. I watch a Japanese youtuber who considers himself hikikomori, but works from home, selling online and/or writing articles. I feel like even for Japanese, NEET and hikikomori definitions are easily muddled. So what do you guys think of Japan making these distinctions?ĭo you guys think there is a difference between a NEET and a unemployed person?ĭefinitely, for the reasons you listed. The article also goes into the differences between Freeters (Japan's part-time workers) and Hikikomori (Acute Social Withdrawal) and it also clarifies that Hikikomori and NEET technically mean the same thing the only difference is NEETs can socially interact while hikikomori do not socially interact and do not leave their bedrooms however hikikomori does not necessarily mean that the person never leaves home and those who are at home but make money are not considered hikikomori but rather regarded as self-employed. The reason i ask this is because i have seen people in the NEET community call themselves NEET when they are just temporarily unemployed and not exactly refusing to work or go to school and contribute to society.
It clarifies that NEETs are those who have given up and do not seek employment and are not an education or vocational training either and unlike NEETs unemployed persons still seek out employment. Do you guys think there is a difference between a NEET and a unemployed person? A Japanese article i found highlights the difference between those who are NEET and those who are temporarily unemployed but still seeking employment.
