Hikikomori is a form of severe social withdrawal that affects not only young people but the elderly as well.
Hikikomori of all ages often experience feelings of failure and shame.
Many hikikomori feel isolated and insecure, and those who suffered harassment or bad treatment in the workplace end up quitting their jobs.
