Hikikomori is a social phenomenon in Japan where the young man (usually in his 20s or 30s) withdraws from social life and lives in his room.  Japanese Ministry of Health estimates over 1,000,000 in Japan. 

She also began to cry. I'm a boy so idk that it hurt girls like that.  Please answer. This is important. I need to know if she will be ok.  I have already apologized a lot but shes not talking to me. And I can tell shes still in a lot of pain.  Also, why did this hurt her? She is not a boy. She doesnt have balls. 

I haven't seen my parents in a month because of the virus and my nieces and elder sister are here from back home, and she's mad that I'm not going to visit every Friday for dinners. My middle sister and husband go there too so I'm the only who doesn't and they don't understand that I'm doing this for their benefit specially since they're older. I'm going grocery shopping too so I don't want to infect anyone or be infected. But I am so broke because she doesn't get it and telling me that I see them as non essential. 

My uncle has passed from a heart attack and no one wants to tell my grandma who is in the nursing home hes died. My grandma has parkinson but still knows whats going on. Her nursing home is on lockdown because of the virus. My family says they want to wait and tell her so shes not alone. I think she has the right to know because its her son. What do you think?

I know I'm going to come across as a ***** but I need advice how to cope. Recently my partner's brother died. His younger brother found him. He mum was in hospital when it happened. We brought her to our house a week later rather than her going home as that's where he passed away, and told her what happened here. She's been staying her for a few days as did his brother. I'm a clean freak, and his brother is in a bad way with his drink and isn't the cleanest person. He left feces on the toilet seat as well as the paper. He had a showers and the bathroom stank and was soaked and dirty. He accidentally cracked one of our slabs, was sleeping with his shoes on the sofa, and spilling beer. The house wasn't the the best so I'm having to clean up constantly and felt dirty in my house. I love his mother, she's very fragile, and she been sleeping on the sofa rather than the bedroom so I haven't been able to do my normal things. I'm helping when I can making her food, checking in on her.  My partner was hoping his brother would come back to our house again but I don't want him to and I feel so bad feeling that way. He was even saying he would like his mum to stay with us for a long time, but once he goes back to work i will have to be doing extra things and I feel bad saying that. I'm 32 years old and I feel like a stranger now in my own house. Right now it's not about me, it's about people who have lost their loved ones but I don't like living with extra people.

I'm 16, my mum & sister they treat me like a piece of dirt, we always fight & every time we do my mum takes her side even when I've done nothing wrong, she gets everything she wants, she wont take no for an answer, she has to have everything, so when i say no to her she hates it. she makes it out like she has an extremally hard life, when she doesn't, she's always had everything handed to her, I'm not saying I've had a really hard life, but at my old school I was bullied quite badly by the popular group, which my sister was in so even when I came home I didn't feel safe, I felt safer at school as I could hide. I only felt safe with my grandparents, they new exactly what was going on, they would pick me up from school almost every day but my sister would just go home, & when ever we would all go out together my grandad would always have ago at my mum to try to help, it didn't work. but once my grandparents died I didn't have anyone. every night I still cry myself to sleep as I don't know what else to do because I have no one to talk to, as non of my friends understand what's happening, because I hate talking about it. I don't know what to do or who to talk to.

I'm being quarantined with my parents and so far it's not going well. I'm just asking if their behavior is normal.   When I mildly annoy my mom she'll pretend she's ill, and does this often. A few yrs ago I went to the gyno, who said I shold start bc. Mom screamed for an hour, called me a whore, and hit me with her bag.  She's told me no man will want me with my body count, that my boyfriend's too good for me, has complained that he won't make any money for a while because he's GOING TO MED SCHOOL, that men just want sex and want to use me for sex. I took my phone out of its case, she screamed like a hyena and told me I should go to a mental hospital.She makes up lies that when I slept with her as a child I 'kicked" her which just didn't happen, to provoke guilt from me for no reason. Once she confiscated my phone with my dad and made fun of how many guys were texting me and how much of a whore I was. I also got raped when I was 14 and my mom was really angry about it and used it as leverage to not do things because I Was "irresponsible." I was molested as a kid and never told them for obvious reasons. When I needed glasses as a kid my mom thought I was joking and made up a huge, family-joke about how i made up needing glasses. I want to go to law school and go to a top college now. My parents are multi-millionaires but don't want me to go.  My dad said I would be "too biased" and tries to make me nervous about the prospect of being a lawyer by saying I would have to "bring in" my own money. I don't have a single friend they haven't criticized, despite them claiming to "like" them. They constantly make unasked for remarks about my appearance, like tell me I'm ugly in the mornings when I just rolled out of bed, etc. They get irritated that I don't call when I'm at school lol.  They're also constantly racist which makes them really insufferable and annoying to be around at least 15% of the time (for that reason specifically, excluding other reasons) They're nice/fun sometimes obviously but everything else I said is true They do a lot for me financially and take care of my material needs 

The funeral will be at a later time when COVID-19 stuff is over. He has two daughters from his ex-wife and two sons who backed him in the divorce (also biologically from ex-wife). The two sides are fighting and apparently the police got called. The two daughters had not spoken to the father in 6 years.

He hurt me horribly and my mother did in their divorce. My mother has owned up to what she did, my father has not. They divorced to protect my siblings and I but my mother kept attacking my Dad to us and my Dad pulled away. My mother has owned up to her roll 30 years later, my father still blames me saying I am wrong to still have pain and that he was protecting me by leaving. Hearing that makes me blame myself even more.

I have absolutely no respect for her. She abused me her whole life and was bad from the earliest of ages. She is now 26 and I am enjoying having no contact with the narcissist. Is this okay? My mother did this to two of her siblings when I was a kid so I figure it is a right of passage. One she later got close to the other she hates and is estranged from to this day.

My mom emailed me that her TV had died and she wanted me to help her find a new one. She was afraid the salesperson would take advantage of her. Monday I got an excited call from her that said our TV buying trip was off. When she got home from work there was a new 68 inch big screen TV in her house. There was a note on the TV screen that said. "This is just a small payback for all the wonderful things you did for us when Joan (me) and I were married." It was signed by my ex husband Bill. I was shocked beyond words. I knew mom adored my ex husband when we were married and I guess he felt the same way about her EVEN AFTER our divorce. I called him up and ask him how he knew my mom needed a new TV. He said on the email to me she had sent a copy to him. He said your mom is a lovely woman and I know how much she enjoys her TV. Then mom told me my ex had done a lot of other things for her like fix her car, fix her computer and train her to use the Internet and a lot of other things. She had not told me about ANY of this. I have got on with my life without Bill so I don't think it would have been a problem to know about what Bill did for mom. Was she just trying to protect me so I could get on with my life and not think of Bill. Shouldn't she have told me all the stuff Bill was doing for her? Why didn't she tell me all this stuff?

I live on my own in my own house. When I first got my own place, I had a job working for the newspaper and I had some other side jobs I did. Long story short, I took some time off for personal reasons and I've been looking for a new job but my mother is being a control freak and not really letting me get work. I had wanted to start my own housekeeping business, so I went out and bought all the supplies I would need, started running ads in the newspaper and whatnot, and when my mother found out she threw a fit. She thought that it was demeaning work and she was not subtle about it at all. Anytime I've gotten a job that doesn't allow me to work from home, she rants and raves about who's gonna walk my dogs while I'm at work, what time I'm gonna be home, what time I have to go in, asking 100 questions as if I'm being interrogated like a criminal. She's not asking the questions out of curiosity. She's asking the questions with this anger and irritation in her voice because she's a control freak that has to control everybody. I need a job. I'm going to run out of my savings if I don't get a job, but it feels like she wants me to run out of money and become dependent on her because it inflates her ego. I am almost halfway through my 30s and she's still controlling me as if I'm a little child. At one point it was so bad that I would have to text her that I was getting into the shower because if I didn't respond to her messages while I was in the shower she would flip out

I'm really getting bothered by her being here she was only supposed to be here for a week..it's now turned into 2 months. She's 22 has money, doesn't help pay bills, buy groceries, or clean up after herself. Last night her drink spilled on my carpet and I told her she has to clean it up and she basically said she's not the one that spilled the drink (my 9 year old little sister came over and knocked it over) so I had to clean it up. After I cleaned the whole house all day and cooked. I bought a lot of groceries yesterday and she said she'll cook tomorrow. (I'm guessing with the groceries that I bought.) When she did buy something for the house it probably didn't even come up to 10 dollars. She has a attitude problem and my little puppy seems to always be able to get her underwear to chew on because she don't keep her suitcases closed and cleaned up. She also sleeps in our living room and she sleeps in late so I have to tip toe around until almost 1pm...my puppy has grabbed her napkins or her hair pills that fell out of her bag and I literally have to be the one that grabs it from him although she's right there. It's sooo much more. I really feel on edge where I'm about to kick her out. I feel like she's using me when I ask to use her makeup wipes or anything from her she saus "you could have only 1 or 2" Also when I wanted to stay in her apartment she told me I could only stay there for 5 weeks. 

My dad married my step mom and I was raised as her daughter (I was also an only child and It was just the three of us), well her mom and brother treated me like family. Well, 3 years ago they got a divorce and she disowned me-I'm finding it hard to cope with this because my supposed "grandma" has stopped calling and treating me like family. She taught me my abcs and how to cook, I just don't understand how you can just drop a child (now adult) like that, without a care in the world. My husband and I are also moving, I wonder how I am going to feel when I go through the old memories and if I should just throw them away together and turn the page. My heart is just torn🥀. Update: I called my uncle-No answer not reply on my text. Mom the same. As for Grandma, she put on a facade. It's hard accepting something like this but I think it's time.

I live one week with my mom and one week with my dad and stepmom. My stepmom is a very good person. She is 29 and she is an engineer and overall just a lovely person. I would just like to ask if it's OK to treat her like my mom or does she technically not have to care about me?

I was pregnant till Jan 15-+16 2017 woke up with blood family helps this person continue to run away with the child. Has family members that work with the police continue to try abusing me and I know I get watched all the time by good people working with the force because they know about it and don't let them try hurting me. This family member is supposedly my mother is always abusing since I was a child she let a ex cop rape me at 10 years old and protected her friend who's rthe wife ex now because she's a drugged attic she protects all drug attics and let's people around while I'm asleep since I can remember and is continuing to let people around me even now. She's always trying to control me and my income I had a job till they messed up my job. They are trying to force me in a no better life so they can continue to lie to the state and say I'm unfit to be a parent because she never wanted me to have a family or be love. Same people that have physically abused me and use contraceptive on me as a child. I need a group of people to stand against this. Please help. The 2 guys that were around that night know my family and pretended to love me at separate times. Mother is always involving me in danger. They are both in drugs. My cervix got torn because what they did. Sex is very uncomfortable All the ignorant ones can leave this page as I'm not trolling nor physically inclined like the people here who probably steal children these days. Keep your trolls an abusive behavior health issues you guys are. Don't come here bothering victims claiming them to be what you guys are

So I really want to get a guitar for a while, about 9 months now, and I keep asking my dad to get me one, but he keeps saying I have to first learn 10 surahs and then get into prayer and praying 5 times a day to get it. I find this really unreasonable, considering I just want to get a cheap starter pack for $200 (The Yamaha Gigmaker Staterpack to be exact). But he knows I'm not religious and I don't know how to get him to get me the starterpack another way. I mean I'd get it if he was getting me something like a Gibson Les Paul or something but c'mon I mean it's a $200 Yamaha Starterpack. Smh. Advice?

My dad has always been violent and I hate it. He is sometimes beating my mom when I come home and I tell him to stop but he just tells me that I will get the same treatment if I don't shut up. Now during this quarantine he does it in the bathroom so I won't have to watch.

My father has always been suspicious of me and my brother but recently he has going to the next level. He recently suffered a bout with corona virus and did recover, however he hasn't been the same. He thinks that my brother is bringing girls to the house (my dad is really religious) but my brother doesn't bring anyone in. He's a religious kid himself and I assume he's hearing my mothers voice. It's quite worrying because we keep telling him we don't hide anything from him, yet he believes that we are hiding something. Is this a sign of psychosis? I'm not sure what to do. Thank you!

Their daughter is 3 and looks just like my aunt, but she has blonde hair (her husband has dark brown hair, but the haters don't know that he used to have blonde hair when he was younger). Anyway, haters keep calling my aunt a w****, etc., so they want them to shut up for good. I told them they shouldn't because that would mean the hater win, but I don't know... Thoughts?

My family is not very achieved and I am the first to graduate college. They actually think I know everything or a lot which I feel I don't. For example, when I started freelancing(and I started talking to my dad about it) he ran off and started the same freelance which I found crazy. Another example would be when I started wearing a certain type of cloths brand he started wearing the same cloths as me. My father and siblings also blame me for their lack of achievements which I find pathetic community college is available to everyone. Instead of asking nicely for help they say I'm envious etc. why do I need to help them? How do I make decisions for other people lives? Am I crazy or are they?

They gave her some medicine, my Moma told me things should be going good In a week I can't remember, but is my sister going to be okay?

I am going to my friends house on Friday, which is also her daughters birthday. I want to get her daughter something for her birthday, she's turning 7. What do 7 year old girls like? I have no idea what to buy her.

     I had my daughter three years ago with an ex-boyfriend. I always thought she was his until recently she started looking more and more like my fiancé's brother.. so I ordered a DNA test and turns out my daughter's father is my fiancé's's brother ((sorry for the confusion if there is any)) ( Way before I started dating my fiancé, I slept with his brother a few times while I was still in a previous relationship with my ex ).       So now I have no clue what to do, and I don't know how I'm going to explain this to my fiancé or his brother, and later on in life, how I'm going to explain this to my daughter. And once we're married my fiancé wants to adopt my daughter, so am I supposed to tell him 'no' because that's his brother's daughter?      Some advice would be greatly appreciated!! I'm stressed out over this!!
