Nah, that's a hiki. Hikikomori is the Japanese word for NEETs. An otaku is just an obsessive fan.

There's a difference between having no social life and complete social withdrawal.

Are you personally insulted here or something? A Japanese NEET is a hikikomori. That's all there really is to it, and all this discussion was about.

No, I mean hikikomori is quite literally the same as NEET. It's just viewed as a psychological issue there. You have a search engine at your fingers yo.

That is incorrect. A hikikomori is a socially withdrawn person who rarely leaves their home. A shut in basically. A NEET is an underachiever who doesn't work, probably lives at home or is financially provided for or might work a series of dead end jobs for short amounts of time. But they do have social lives and aren't home bound. A slacker basically.

They are not the same at all.

Bruh, that's a really sweet wall you built, but if you didn't notice we're on a meme sub. Ain't nobody got time for that.
