Health is the extent to which an individual or group is able: to satisfy needs, to realize aspirations, to change or cope with their environment.
Research had shown that hikikomori have difficulties in coping and poor existentialism. In another word, they were not able to satisfy needs, to realize aspirations nor to change or cope with their environment. We should probably be more conscious about the emotional and social dimensions of health. Hikikomori is definitely a health problem that should not be ignored.

i am a hikikomori and i have been for a whole year now.it all started when i was still in high school,people would treat me really bad,they would say bad things about me,they would steal my things,they one day after i finished high school i decided to shut myself in.for my parents this was very painful to watch,i dont have any friend and all i do during the day is watching tv,mostly anime,playing videogames,listening to music.i suffer from a very low self esteem,and i have problems communicating to people.mostly of the time i feel sad and depressed because i think that all those people who went with me in high school have better lifes than me,and look at me wasting my life like this.i hate myself for the way i am i want to change but somehow i cannot.i really want to have a normal life someday
