I just started watching a show about hikikomoris and I fully realize the threat of me going that road, though American society seems to do better with these situations.
I don't want to feel alone anymore and the future seems bleak can someone please give me any advice.

I've already responded to a few posts here and I hope if I've seemed offensive the moderator will delete it. I don't want to say the wrong thing but eventually I will. I think we have to try to post--if we don't we are at the same place we were yesterday.
I obviously don't have all the answers but I stopped feeling so alone when I found things to do that I'm really good at. I paint and I garden--among other things. I also found MeetUp. I went to lots of different kinds of meetings and I enjoyed most of them. And then I started my own group. I post things I want to do and without fail other people sign up to go do them with me. It works! Monday night we are going out for chocolate martini sand manicures!
