Starting over. (again)

[@MADEINHIKIKOMORI]

Glad to see you again on your KZbin channel. I am Hikikomori in Japan. I'm trying my best to come back to society.

[@the_cruiserrrr]

Rooting for you ❤

[@jimbo2195]

This is so crazy. I was literally thinking about your channel earlier today and was so depressed that there was never a follow up

[@ricardogarcia427]

MY DUDE, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. STAY STRONG!!!!

[@llamaboy1991]

I fuckin love this guy. I’ve never been more invested in someone else before. This guy fucking rules.

[@ANerdGathering]

Baby steps! You can do it! Every new endeavour will have its step backs, I’m really proud of you. Don’t try to intellectualize every decision, just be proud of every baby step!

[@dlevin1269]

Bro, I subbed to you years ago. Awesome to see you are back. Take it one step at a time, you are moving forward and that’s what counts. Don’t feel the need to rush progress, it will only stress you out and cause you to crash. See you on the next one!

[@Cancerpincer]

The comeback resume now. Its good to take a small incremental steps and it will pay off in the long-run

[@GlipGlig]

I'll be here all the way my man, you'll make it out

[@MadMan-tq2ts]

You have no idea how glad I am that you're back! We can do this!!!!!🎉🎉❤❤

[@mathiasl2623]

FINALLY MY BOYS BACK YOU'RE THE GOAT WE BELIEVE IN YOU

[@llamaboy1991]

So glad you’re back man!! I’m happy you’re doing okay. I think you’re right to start slow. Just stay consistent. Can wait to see the next video. Genuinely missed you.

[@resiseven7407]

fucking beamed when i saw this in my sub box dude. injury sucks to hear about, just awful timing. but you're right about the 0-100 thing, you gotta look after your body. could be too big a step right now but at some point i think i recommend trying to speak to a professional on the regular if that's a possibility for you.. the absolute least it can do is get you talking to another person semi-regularly who probably isn't gonna be weird or judgemental, which is a pretty big thing, or at least it has been for me. its hard to find someone you can really trust and be open with, but it's definitely not impossible. & you might not even want or need to get to that point anyways. just a thought! looking forward to whatever you post here. :)

[@marcoaureliofernandezreyes1413]

As you can read in the comments section, everyone is supporting you. Same here 👍 Good to see you back and as you mentioned: male small steps. I highly recommend you to create a daily routine. Wake up, stretch your arms, back and waist. Then, make your breakfast,wait a few minutes and them male your bed and clean your room. Do this everyday and it will become one routine. Best of luck. PS: take a walk outside as well (it might not be everyday, but, use this for see your surroundings and get used to add an extra workout).

[@bob_smite]

I remember finally cleaning my filthy room after watching your video (i kinda need to do it again). I also intended to work out, but I got sick. I'm feeling better, so hopefully I can try out the workout plan on ur next upload.

[@AmbushTornado]

If you started a discord server, you'd have a community overnight bro! We're here for you 🤝

[@xanthippus9079]

My 2023 began as a sedentary NEET. My first step to getting out of the situation was to start running around March or April. Observing the slow incremental distance, everything was doing great. Until I got injured in November. Thankfully it wasn't anything too serious, but those weeks were terrible. A major setback in a road to recovery can be especially demotivational. I felt as if I wasn't supposed to grow out of my misery, as if that injury was putting me back into my place. After recovery, I went back running. Getting into physical exercise was the spark I needed to change other aspects of my life. It was then easier to eat better, have a healthy sleep schedule, have a better relationship with my family and look for a job. I studied hard during some months for a public servant job (here you have to pass a competitive test to get a public position) and it finally bore fruits. I just started last month in my first job (at 28 years old), and it doesn't pay that much, but at least I can now say I got out of my years as a NEET. Everyone has their own problems. Every one's situation has its particularities. Still, it's possible to change something. Your assessment of cleaning your room and starting to crawl before walking is a great mindset to have. We are here to watch your transformation and cheer for you. Your videos helped me get out of my comfort zone. Now your story will surely encourage many others in their ways.

[@Den-rt7rm]

AYOOOOO, NO FUCKING WAY YOU ARE BACK. LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@Keksi]

this is hype

[@taro10524]

welcome back brother, we support you

[@EternalDrummer1990]

I'm glad to see you're back. I was really interested in seeing your journey. Just remember that progress might not be linear but you can still be moving forward overall. It's the little steps that turn into big ones down the line. I say this as someone who struggles massively with letting my anxiety hold me back but who has been able to improve on that front. It won't be easy but will be worth it. I believe in you.

[@joelowdon1615]

Welcome back. Progress is never linear. There are ups and downs along the way, always. Keep on this journey. You've got this.

[@lednusch]

Glad to see you back. I'm also struggling with a lack of discipline. Usually I can maintain a good routine for about 10 to 14 days and then I slide back into bad habits again. It's a vicious cycle. I hope that you will be able to get your life together. Maybe a therapist can help you. All the best.

[@firstnamelastname6926]

Good luck, brother. You got this! It's never too late to turn things around. Compare yourself only to yourself yesterday. We believe in you!

[@MONKEYNITE]

THE GOAT IS BACK 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@brokenvhsplayer4754]

Im glad that you're deciding to try again despite your setbacks.

[@davidharrow9025]

Wow I was wondering where you went. I wish you luck on your journey and I hope your health has improved. Your room looks much better by they way! It's giving me motivation to finally redo my room..ugh I've been putting it off for years. 2024 is your year! Cheers.

[@the_cruiserrrr]

Broo!!!! I always checked for updates incase you’d ever post anything. So glad you’re back! You have been missed.

[@sasquatchblue]

welcome back!! it's never ever too late to start over or get back to it, & it's honestly inspiring (for many, as you can see! :)). You've got this!

[@PointOfNoReturn2112]

Glad to see you return. Decided to look you up out of the blue, after recalling your channel, just to see your back at it.

[@minonamai]

Omg I didn't think you'd be back! I am a hiki too and stumbled upon your channel around 2022 or 2021 (times sure flies fast when you did nothing). Been subscribing to you ever since, using my other account. In the beginning I literally checked on every comment in your first video because there's this one asshole who said he knew you and he said you already gone. Imagine my surprise when I clicked on my subscription tab and found this video. It's a damn relief to see you still here man. I am so glad you are okay. I just want to say that I really admire your courage. You (and another fella who seemed to already deleted his channel, won't mention the name here in case he wanted to disappear forever) actually inspires me to create a channel myself. As I went through the process of starting the channel, I was hit by how nerve racking it is to even admit that we live how we lived. It filled me with so much anxiety and worry to let people know that I am a hiki. And when I did upload something (now sets to private cause it's just so bad, haha), it was as if I could already feel people judging me and saying mean things about me. I already respect you for uploading the videos alone, and I sure as hell have more respect for you after I did an upload myself. Just when I am having a second thought and close to deleting everything, you uploaded! Now I know for sure you've been here the whole time yet still keep your videos up, my respect for you goes up even more. You keep videos showing your face and voice for three years (although, if you're anything like me, three years feel more like three months when you barely do anything, haha) knowing there is always a small chance someone might recognize you. It took a tremendous amount of courage to do that alone. And I am sure there are others like me who have been secretly inspired ever since you decided to bravely share your stories with the world through videos. Thank you for giving a voice to people like us! And I especially thank you for not limiting the comment section. I thought doing something like this will just attract hate and criticism, but the comments are way more encouraging than I thought. I went here from time to time to remind myself that not everyone only has bad things to say about hikikomori. Many are actually quite understanding. That gives me some hope and motivation, even if it's not directed towards me, lol. With that being said, I am so looking forward to seeing more of you, From Neet to Elite. I hope this year will be the year that things change for the better for you (and me, and others like us too). But if you are hit by another roadblock, please bear in mind that there are people like me who appreciate what you already did.

[@adridaydry]

So glad you're back! I actually thought about you and your channel pretty often over the past years, wondering how you had been doing. Although maybe not so well, what is more important is that you are back, I'm excited for the future content :)

[@pigerchou]

Welcome back dude, 3 years later is gonna be the best time of any to start working on your goals.

[@noot-noot-pingu-noot-noot]

you have no idea how happy i was to see this video in my feed, I'm glad you're back! don't be upset that it took so long to get to this point, the main thing is that you're able to get back on track and start again. it's going to take a long time, but every little bit of progress you make is a step in the right direction, and we'll be supporting you no matter how long it takes

[@ramseynicholas]

It's so great to see you again!

[@israelcrafts25]

THE KING IS BACK!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@hanataba1291]

I was like wondering where you were. Nice to see you are starting over.

[@dylantingey3477]

You’re back :) everybody has their own battles and this is yours, it’s just as meaningful as everybody else’s. You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be and you just took a step towards making your life the one you dream about in your head. I hope you can keep it going so you can feel the satisfaction you deserve. Good luck!

[@amixie6466]

He's back!

[@zipgun7132]

I'm glad you're ok. Try to take things one day at a time and if you happen to fall short on a goal, don't be yourself up about it. Bad days happen and you can always do better next time. I hope things get better for you.

[@Max-rw8nc]

good to see you back man, good luck!!

[@mikasegal7587]

Good on you dude, Don't give up! 💪💪

[@squidtree8900]

I'm honestly so glad you're back. You give us hope

[@Glorakoth]

Glad to see you back. Keep up the good work.

[@RichMerry]

Glad to see a new video, New year resolutions are a great motivatior. Keep trying to improve dude.

[@jawn4243]

yo dude its okay to take a fall. just get back up man! consistency is key. im happy your doing better for yourself man. Your videos resonate with me alot. more often than not i feel like an alien trying to be human. Thank you for sharing your journey

[@user1756]

Setbacks are a normal part of life and you are not the only one experiencing them. Your life is far from over and you still have so much time to fix things, don't give up - please. Like you said, take small steps. Maybe walk outside the door of your apartment for 5 meters tomorrow and then go back? Then go 10 meters the next day, and so on. I was a hikikomori like you for 4 to 5 years, so I can completely relate. But the only way you beat this is by facing your fears. If you keep hiding from your fears, they will only get worse. I would advise you to look up exposure therapy and seek professional help. It's extremely hard to get out of a situation like yours without any type of external help. 10 years ago I was rotting away in my self-imposed prison cell and wondered where I would be in 10 years. I was wondering if would still be alive by then. And guess what, I'm still here. I'm better than ever - still struggling, but still here. And I never EVER expected this to be the case. It can be the same for you, all you have to do is NOT give up and keep fighting.

[@Zeonlover]

So good to see you back! :D I can't wait to see the next video. I feel for you man. We can do this together!

[@weltschmerz333]

YO DUDE I subbed to you way back, I figured what happened had happened when I didnt see anything from you...DONT GIVE UP

[@evil_7]

OMG your back!!!!!!!!

[@natty2271]

You can do this. You still have a lot of life ahead of you to figure this out. Like you said, take it real slow and don't push yourself too much. Celebrate your small achievements and allow yourself to gradually get comfortable with unfamiliar environments. Stay optimistic, I know you can make it.

[@gratefulkarin]

So glad you're here again! we're with you to celebrate the successes and learn from the setbacks!

[@LightsAndBikes]

Welcome back man! So pumped for you!

[@sbjorka]

good luck!

[@blissfulfluff6382]

Bro! Good to see you back! Wishing you all the best towards your steady goals for success

[@MisisH]

Omg you’re back! ❤

[@MisisH]

Take small steps. We are rooting for you. Nice improvement on your room. Taking the carpet off was a good idea 👍🏻

[@mitchellpearce5030]

LETS FUCKING GO

[@Polygonite]

If you go back to your old videos you'll see my comments in there. I've been checking your channel from time to time to see if you got back, and what you know, today I came in and there are several new videos! Good to you're back and good luck with your endeavors!

[@IkMastanaChala]

Slow and Steady win the race. My man! 😀

[@noodlery7034]

[@llamaboy1991]

This guy fucking rules.

[@andrewherman1814]

LETS GOOO, got so pumped when I saw this video pop up! Have you considered therapy? I recommend it to everyone no matter there life circumstances. I think everyone can gain a lot from it.

[@itsPandaDan]

Hell yeah dude! I have thought about you more than once since you left. Keep on trying brother.
