Hikikomori in America: The Pressure to Socialize at Work Makes People Quit | Redditors Explain Why

In America, the pressure to socialize at work makes the isolation of being Hikikomori so appealing that people quit their jobs and retreat. “Being Hikikomori” - it’s a phrase used by people who feel so fed up with life and people that they drop out of existence for awhile. But, in isolation, it’s hard to earn money, so people find themselves forced back into the working world or - as these Redditors explain - they find ways to earn money that suits their desire for isolation. The pressure to socialize is high at work, and this makes even an ordinary job, demanding. The world seems to think that there are only a handful of people who prefer isolation over social interaction. So, the world easily flings out labels, which stigmatize people. But the world is wrong - there are a lot of people out here who are “being Hikikomori.”
