i really dont think its realistic, and tbh people like this are really fucking annoying for people like me, who actually have mental disorders. and im talking legitimately being diagnosed, not self-diagnosed. it's literally just enforcing the stereotype that people with mental illnesses are completely defined by them and embrace the labels as an excuse (lets be honest, how many times has he mentions he does things because hes a hikikomori and thats just how they are?). literally, we know nothing else about his character other than his mental problems. it's not an illness to him, it IS him. and jesus we do not need even more of those characters in fiction. but thanks for informing this imbecile that its a realistic representation of a mental illness I HAVE.
jesus im getting tired of this fucking pity-train they got going on for themselves
