I'm confused... so you decided to do nothing after finishing home school?

I'm always confused with how relatively older people (I mean after high school) can get away with doing nothing for such a long time. I think in Japan a lot of hikki are high school aged or so, but most of the 4-ch ones seem to be adults.

Anyway, I was homeschooled too, started taking a few community college classes during my last two high school years, spent four more years in CC after high school, and recently transferred to uni.

I've never really considered myself a hikki since although there were times I just wanted to do nothing and ended up staying home for a long time (like during summers and a semester of college I ended up missing), I had always wanted to move foward. I suppose you could say I was one during the years I was homeschooled, but if so it was unknowingly. Also, it's not my hatred or fear of the world or somesuch that's stopping me, but rather my lack of social skills.

I have taken steps to gain them, but I'm still quite far off. I still can't make friends or really even talk to people my own age, outside of formalities. Even formalities I usually try to avoid if I think they won't notice it. However... I guess I'm taking babysteps?
