Story
: "37 years old, social phobia, avoidant personality disorder (AVPD), and ADHD: I'm a hikikomori, but I don't like it. I'm like this because of social phobia, AVPD, and ADHD. Because of this, I've failed at socializing and studying. People call me crazy for being alone, not studying, and not working."
