Social Expectations: Hikkikomori
You may heard of the Japanese term of the anti-social being who locked himself in the room, and does not want any social interaction with anyone. He entirely creates a world of his own, being by himself, being who he is or wanted to be…..Just that way. A Hikkikomori.
What lies in that reason of him being this way? Is he too lazy to get out of his room?
Is he too afraid of the outside world?
Those may share some possibilities, but the only main reason that may be the most relevant is how social expectations pushes them into a corner, making them the way they are.
Social expectations.
Society expects you to go great on your studies.
Expects you to have a good career>
Expects you to behave disciplined.
Expects you with this and that. Not does society only pressure you.
People around you. There are so so so many things that are forced upon you,
You sometimes have no space to breathe.
Does anyone understands them?
Probably, people who see the hikkikomori as someone who rejects society and they are a problem in the society. But why not examine why they are this way?
Social expectations have made humans feel repressed and would be discriminated if they stick out too much, or show too much difference.Taken in an interest that someone else finds it disgusting.
Society never accepts if you are a bit different, society only wants to stryucture you the way it structure anyone else. That anyone else which is a majority would then play roles as the society to put pressure on them.
If they would have a space to breath, a voice to reach out…. I am sure these problems won;t exist…
If only society accepts of different people in our world…..
Accepts of people’s opinions and understand them by wearing their shoes.
I guess …….. nothing dreadful as this will happen.
You may ask why do I think I know all these feelings?
Well, I have to confess… how much I wanted to lock myself in my room too.
To escape from those pressures in life. to escape from expectations
to escape from not being able to give my opinions out because I will be view as a rebel.
But then, I can;t. I still have a life to go on. If I am strong enough, I will stand…. but when I will fall….at anytime….I would not know what i would do either.

Don’t ask questions.
There are loads of things that people do, without a reason, without a proof or historicial background, but those were questions to things people did, but very few are willing to ask. Since my blog was meant to express my thoughts. I would use this personal space within the public sphere to put my thoughts out.
First of all, I would like to say, I was a Christian.
Yes. I was. Why did I free myself from religion?
Well then, it is just that when i started to get more rational, I see things with a reason. I have to see things and experience it, in order to understand how it works. Theories to prove, situations to support. This is the truth I believe in.
I am not a person who waits for something to come to me. I search for it by myself. If i keep on waiting and praying, what good does it did for me? Would I get honours for my first degree if I would to only wait for something holy to come and work for me? Well then, I totally saved myself.
Dinosaurs. Yep. The bible doesn;t talk about them right?
I wonder where this slip through. Couldn’t have happened on the sixth day…..Dinosaurs would have eaten any living things around them. If they don;t exist, what are those fossils and ancient bones doing deep deep deep down on the earth? Did someone just magically put it there? Yeah. Maybe someone did. Someone who runs for vice-president still believes that it is a conspiracy theory….dinosaurs are just pure fake. (Ha…)
Oh, another thing. About Lucifer. I want to know what he did apart from being jealous of God, that he had to go down our feet. In my predictions, jealously comes when one has become authoritarian, or threatens another power. Yeah. Jealously between men could not have happen because one is more beautiful then another. It happens because of the fear of power. That power, who knows, what kind of power it is like? Foucault said there are several kinds of power right? Machiavelli is one of them.
Well, are we all really siblings?
Man, I dont wanna commit any incest. I rather be with a robot.
I fail to accept on we are all brother and sisters.
I dont want someone i hate to be related to me.
The apple .
If those two did not eat it,
what would be come of us?
Free humans? Is Eden free?
Freedom of choice? Selecting to eat shows a sense that humans has a freedom of choice.
Would we be like orangutans?
Or Kangaroos?
Well, we never know.
If we dont learn to ask questions, we will forever be dumb and stupid, to follow something blindly.
Our teachers in school taught us to ask questions.
What when these questions are being asked, why do I was accused as Lucifer’s child?
I was just trying to be rational, that is all.
