>>7392859I've been living as a hikki for a couple of years before I got back into my studies. I'm glad I managed to go back into society before it was too late, and while I do sometimes wish I had stayed the way I was, I can't imagine the mental repercussions it would have had, had I stayed at my parent's house, completely detached.
After a year I already started having some delusions and serious mental effects. I probably would have offed by now. And while the anxiety of work is crushing at times, it is better than nothing
