The kanji for Hikikomori &#8220;\u5f15\u304d\u7c60\u308a&#8221; is made up of the words &#8220;to pull&#8221; and &#8220;to confine&#8221;.In this sense, a Hikikomori is someone who withdraws themselves from society and confines themselves at home.<\/p>\n<h4>Comparison<\/h4>\n<p>Whilst in most anime\/manga series a NEET and a Hikikomori usually comes hand in hand, in reality, that is not always the case.<\/p>\n<p>For one to become a NEET, they simply need to be unemployed, not studying and not in a technical training program. A NEET can have a healthy social life and still be a full-fledged NEET. Similarly, a Hikikomori can be employed, but simply never leaves their house.<\/p>\n<p>In many anime\/manga portrayals, NEETs are portrayed as a shut-in NEET (NEET + Hikikomori) automatically. In many real cases, an individual becomes a NEET and eventually develops symptoms of social withdrawal due to society&#8217;s discrimination on NEETs.<\/p>\n<p><img data-attachment-id=\"26798\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/post\/26781\/qoopedia-neet-vs-hikikomori\/attachment\/18031610224211#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/18031610224211.jpg?fit=1280%2C720&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1280,720\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"18031610224211\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/18031610224211.jpg?fit=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/18031610224211.jpg?fit=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26798\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/18031610224211.jpg?resize=1200%2C675&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/18031610224211.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/18031610224211.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/18031610224211.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/18031610224211.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/18031610224211.jpg?resize=460%2C260&amp;ssl=1 460w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" title=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, NEET and Hikikomori are distinctively different, but one can easily lead to another which is most likely why in most cases, NEETs are portrayed as shut-in NEETs.<\/p>\n<p>Anything else you want to learn? let us know in the comments!<\/p>\n<p class=\"pre-register\"><a class=\"in-post-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/en-news.qoo-app.com\/tag\/qoopedia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Learn\u00a0More Here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-follow-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/QooApp_EN\" data-size=\"large\" data-show-count=\"false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Follow @QooApp_EN<\/a><script src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEET vs. Hikikomori what are the difference, QooPedia takes a look at the similarities and differences between the two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":26795,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[4127,777,4126,4243],"tags":[4,4147],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/18031610161696.jpg?fit=726%2C410&ssl=1","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pe8G4K-6XX","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26781"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26781"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26781\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26795"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26781"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26781"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26781"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
