I Talk About The Hikikomori ๐ฏ๐ต
1Hi, thank you for watching, I hope to raise some awareness with this video about this social phenomenon, which involves extreme social isolation.
I believe this social behaviour to be nothing new, but nonetheless the modern day Hikikomori phenomenon as we understand it started in Japan ๐ฏ๐ต.
This, however is not an issue exclusive to Japan, but has affected other countries (and more besides) such as China, the USA, and the UK for example.

Some, but not all Hikikomori have mental health problems, which triggered the social isolation in the first place, like social anxiety, depression, and autism.
Let's not forget about Japan's under population problem either, which ties in with this in a round-a-bout kind of way.
Imagine how you would feel, being isolated from society, perhaps your only window on the world being the internet, books, and escapism by means of videogames and anime\manga.
This is not a natural or healthy way to live.
*Let's pray for the Hikikomori, in Jesus name, Amen.*
