There is close to no person irl male or female that will care enough fo another human being, minutes or even days after meeting him/her.

If you're lucky enough to find someone who immeadiately fall in love with your disgusting self and do that kind of shit to fix you up, she has to have some heavy issues herself as accurately seen in the show, and that wicked relationship will crumble on itself.

Because she's a professional victim.

It's the whole point of the last 2 episodes.

Satou being the teacher was neat
>>
>>261862208
Initially she didn't really love him the relationship was parasitic by both parties

She was a hikki as well, and when she discovered him used him as a pet project to try and justify her existence

mind you saito was a fucking shameless leach and in a lot of ways way fucking worse then that mmo hikki, since saito on multiple occasions did really manipulative shit

that said the two of them I think did come to form a very intimate bond, since they both knew how fucked the other was and still wanted to save eachother.

I think after the whole ending climax thing at the cliff they really did come to love each other on some level

That said, the thing that made saito not be a hikki was the threat of fucking starvation. Everyone was else was just enabling him and should have cut him off way sooner to avoid all of that shit.

Misaki on the other hand needed someone to try and understand her and push her, her aunt and uncle were nice by they were clearly just housing and enabling her but not trying to really understand her.

All of this said, I think it was actually a pretty honest show about how this shit goes and what these people are like.

>mfw I'm almost like this except I go to college and live off of the grants/loans/part time work
I guess it's just the way we're wired, though.
Some people, currently NEET or not, have a desire for a social life. People like you and I just don't give a shit though.
Sometimes I reflect on it and think it's shitty of me that I'm content with spending all my time alone whenever possible and doing just enough work or socialization to simply get by and live the routine I like, but in the end who cares, really?
Having a group of friends or your own family isn't something everyone literally needs. I think I fall into the category of people who don't.

Whats the term like "asexual" that just deals with not caring about human interaction at all, not just limited to sex?
Though I guess I come on 4chan for a reason.

Just look for "general labor" jobs

Doesn't have to be a warehouse, since its the beginning of September you'll see a shit ton of postings.

It's not easy since you'll be the "lifting shit, cutting grass and cleaning" monkey, but getting one isn't hard.

Some places may require that you can drive to get there but you can always try to negotiate, my first job I tried as hard as possible to be on time and rode the bus super fucking early.

These types of jobs tend to have much more flexibility and your boss will probably be more understanding too, all you gotta do is be on time and work hard.

And while the job may be shit you might end up becoming bros with the guys you work with, I remember they'd invite me to drink on fridays.

Having a net of friends will also help keep you from being a hikki again

I want to travel and have made attempts to try and get myself a teaching job overseas(not Japan, fyi. 2many weeaboos), but they've mostly fallen flat.
