So I got into watching anime and Korean dramas while I was finding my first job after graduating, basically I would watch shows all day if I could. It was three months of the stay-in-my-room-if-nothing-is-on life, though I had a few friends (fellow unemployed graduates) that entertain me once in a while, and my room wasn't piled up with food (clean freak here). But what I realised was I felt that I wouldn't mind the life of being a NEET, because my parents would supply me a living allowance that was quite generous.
Then, I got employed full time, which is quite an achievement given that I barely made an effort (anime and drama FTW). By the time I'm done working and cooking for myself, I barely have any energy left other than to sit down and let something entertain me. In contrast to my uni days, where I could get by partying all night and rocking up to 8am class. For the past half a year, it has been nothing but "work, cook, anime/drama, sleep, repeat". Weekends are nothing but "cook/order food, PS4/anime/drama, sleep".
I feel like an employed hikikomori. I can relate to not wanting to go out. I have relatively few friends (being an immigrant doesn't help). I eat alone. I travel alone. I walk alone. I smoke alone. I feel lonely all day. Sometimes I wish someone like Misaki suddenly shows up in my life. Though I know the solution is to get out there, this is some wishful thinking.
By this I don't mean any disrespect to the people actually suffering from this syndrome. Just my thoughts after watching this amazing anime.
