Shut-Ins in Media (OMORI, Welcome to the NHK) | NotAimingForTheTruck

[@victorsteven2560]

From someone who has been living the closest thing to a hikkikomori, this video is a masterpiece. I recently came to the same conclusion, it's such a miserable life, because Maslow's pyramid is extremely incomplete, with only the basic necessities. And without a doubt, for ordinary people it is too difficult to understand the people who go through these difficult moments in their lives that can last many years ..

Fuck you for making me cry with the monologue at the end, it was very well written and I can feel the honesty and sincerity in your voice. I do relate to these and I searched for welcome to the nhk and I came across this at what is now 5:02 am at the end of the video. Never heard of the game you were talking about, but it still was interesting to hear about it's story and themes from your point of view. Thank you for being so helpful, intelligent and insightful, to the extent it struck me deep enough draw tears. I appreciate your time spent putting the video together have a wonderful day, week and months.

One of the best videos on this topic I've ever seen. I've watched your video several times and at different stages of my life between the process from teenager to adult. Even with everything, I'm still fighting to not become a hikikomori. I'm not one because I still have friends who give me strength to continue living in society. Great video.

[@GRRNOLA]

So glad I found this, you’re gonna make it, this is really good content

[@BenjiPOTF]

What I love about welcome to the nhk, is that it helped me be more introspective. This helped me out of a 6 year period I became a shut in. I am still self isolated, as I find personal interactions extremely draining.

[@ysahli]

I am not a shut in but I find personal interactions also draining....the longer I have these, the more I want to go back home and play videogames, watch movies, read books, draw pictures. Sometimes though I have a weird condition in which I have a stiffness in my whole body, whenever I walk by many people or a nice looking girl. Guess I like Welcome to the NHK, bc Sato is a person I could become if my life turns to more shit

[@Lerfthkid]

I remember how shocked the 2 correctional officers were when they saw me smiling in jail. They didn’t like it and tried to make me feel bad about my situation. They couldn’t understand how some shy kid from the suburbs could be okay with being in solitary confinement. It’s exactly where I felt safe, I was alone, plus I finally had all the time in the world to think without worrying about going to work. The size of my cell meant nothing to me. I had already spent months in solitude in my own room back in the free world sometimes doing nothing but thinking. The only thing that really got to me was never seeing sunlight on some days. I remember hearing some of the other inmates lose their sanity. They couldn’t handle the lack stimuli, I didn’t know who I should pity, me or them. Jail would’ve been anything but torture if it weren’t for my skin disorder known as Ichthyosis Vulgaris. I began to shed really badly in there.

This reminds me of how jealous I was during covid of my friends short prison sentence. I was just going through the motions of xanax withdrawal for most of it I thought I could make a life for myself afterwards but I was in the worst kind of prison in that room. It's a year on from that I picked up small amounts of benzos again and I smoke a ton of weed indoors. I don't actually have a problem talking to people or anything it's just I need a 'second chance' no matter what I tey it dosent feel real and I can't find one anywhere so it's hell for me. I'll at least try to stop torturing myself with guilt and shame though

[@HanakoSasaki]

Hey. I’m sure it isn’t the same experience, but I was forced involuntarily into inpatient at the start of 2020 and well into the beginning of covid. The nurses seemed very unhappy, and it felt like they took it out on us. I was lucky enough to be placed in a women’s ward, but it was still incredibly violent and traumatizing. I hope that you’re doing better now, and I hope that your experience has been able to empower you in any sense of the word. I hope those shitty officers still think of the peace they were unable to take from you. Congrats on making it through

Bro shut yo goofy ahh up😭😭

I already feel like I can relate to the protagonist's struggles. Being born with Autism, even though I am high functioning, I was often ostracized, pigeonholed from the rest of my age group by peers and adults alike merely due to my diagnosis. I was expected to work harder and behave more strictly than the others simply because of my label, while the rest of them got off scot-free. Many of my social skills camps and special education classes were disorderly and dysfunctional, as many of the teachers there were unqualified, unskilled, and neglectful, as they expected us Autists (and other Neurodivergents) to figure things out on our own though we were still kids, rather than taking responsibility themselves for our development. I was conditioned to be self-conscious of my mental disorder, and overly caring about what others think of me in the name of self-improvement. I was taught that if I was disliked or mistreated, that I was doing something socially unacceptable. In a manner of speaking, I was set up to fail in my youth. In 10th grade, I was bullied for my Autism relentlessly. They called me a retard day in and day out. They used my Autism as a scapegoat to blame me for their problems, as an excuse for them to to target me, saying that it was my Autism that started it, and gaslighted me that my Autism was making me hallucinate their abuse. Whenever I went to the adults for help, the bullies would usually say, "He doesn't know what he's talking about, he's a retard." Whenever I did something kind, they'd punish me for it. Whenever I did something self-destructive, they'd commend me for it. Whenever I did something acceptable, they'd try to persuade me that it was socially unacceptable and so forth. Up was down, black was white, good was bad, day was night. I was questioning my sanity, my moral compass, my judgement, my mentality, and my memory. Even when they sexually assaulted me in the showers, the adults took no measure to bring them to justice. In fact, the adults did NOTHING, no matter how much I begged and cried to them for help. Rather than taking responsibility and addressing the situation head on, they'd only ask me what I could do to improve the situation without their help. In my case, it was nothing; I could only avoid them. But since I was at a boarding school in the middle of the woods, I had nowhere else to go. These kids were unhinged, if anything the adults were afraid of them. One of them threatened to kill me and another nearly broke my door down to steal my guitar. They even took advantage of the adults own mental illness, like when the art teacher was back from maternity leave, they use her mood swings to get her to side with them and blame me for their own problems. But the worst thing they did, but blackmail my only friend there to betray me, just like Kaworu. I was very suicidal that year, and wished I was never born. To this day, I still suffer PTSD from being psychologically abused by my peers and staff alike. Even as an adult, I was still mistreated by fellow adults. I can't help but feel paranoid that some people are out to get me, as I've been stalked, doxed, and threatened to be hunted down and killed by people online who wished me grievous harm since Lockdown. I want to watch this anime, but I am afraid of being triggered and spiraling into a relapse. Can anyone help? Is me being a shut in justified because of how so many people hurt me?

[@ysahli]

I am in no record to tell you what you could do, but I understand your pain, which for that made you a shut in. I've watched the anime and sometimes it can get a lil heavy, but it has many comedical aspects as well. The best way to find out is to watch the first episode and if you feel some kind of bad feeling, you can turn it off. I don`t know you, just read your story on the internet, but I am with you, brother

[@Conman9310]

Novel analysis... original self-composed music... solid editing/voiceover... only 500 subs??? good god, man.

[@AKFGinstrumental]

really good video continue making good content like this

[@ochinchin6718]

This video is amazing and your channel is so underrated

[@cartoonmaster2401]

Fact: OMORI and (in the real world version of) his friends represent the 5 stages of grief: Specifically, OMORI being Denial, and Kel (Who was at Sunny's door) is Acceptance (the polar opposite of Denial.) Theory: Opening the door and walking out the house with Kel is a sign of Sunny beginning to accept what happened. And staying inside the house with OMORI and his dream friends is staying in denial.

[@Midnight6780]

been a shut in since the pandemic and will continue to be one for another while until something changes weather if its the way how i think motivation or outside forces making me change

[@obladioblada6932]

You're channel is great! Thanks for your work!

[@howartho5247]

Love the videos ❤

[@xAnononAx]

Look ma, they're talking about me.

[@nika8620]

I've never played OMORI but I've seen it floating around the internet here and there. I like the themes it has and it's conclusion. Reminds me of Mob Psycho for some reason. Also NHK is a classic but sadly it's slowly becoming forgotten by time. Although, I can see it resurfacing as a cautionary tale if the NEET/Hikkikomori epidemic continues to climb. Only time will tell.

[@itismeanttobe]

im watching this later today it looks like a great one

[@obladioblada6932]

As I kind of brazilian pseudo-hikikomori (who go out to college, but avoids contact with people in real life as much as possible), one way I see to interpret this phenomena is the creation of a infinity of virtual bubbles with very different values, cultures and purposes, creating people who saw the same things with a set of interpretation completly distinct. As a result, they can make sense to one and another, thus leading to further isolation, creating a cycle and, as often we can see, a lot of intolerance and rage between people. For the lack of a central, cohesive, set of values (like being rich, being the "smartest", buying a car, bla-bla-bla), they replace that with their own new set of values, who can, in modern society, range to sectarian forms os feminism/socialism, to, in the other extreme, far-right and incels. Common places, to hang out, like parks, schools, work, became only a space who provides a mean of subsistence. Not as a mean of provide meaning for life, resulting people didn't expect more to form friendship there, going on internet. In my own country, a large example of this, is the current division between left and right. While it's normal, generally, a lot of discussion and angry about, it has taken a whole new level, where even friendship between the two groups becoming virtually impossible.One corolary about that is that very a much large social meaning (as you point in your video), than just looking as a question of biological basis... I wonder where things will go this way...

[@Rekon-se6wv]

"pseudo hikikomori but goes to college" fking brazuca, you are not special. Dont try and pretend you are part of a group when you ARE NOT just to play victim and get internet points.

[@OfficerMugi]
