How long do you have until the isolation completely fucks you up?
idk but i think i'm starting to lose it.
>lived completely alone in a apartment my dad was paying for with no job or friends.
>It took 7 months until I ended up in a mental hospital diagnosed with skitzophrenia.
>I basically sat around watching house seasons 1-8 at least 3 times and playing the kingdom heart remix games.
>I thought I was sora the anti hero and ended up walking down the main streets in black gloves and wielding a firemans axe thinking it was the key blade.
>mfw cop pulled a silver m1911 on me.
You got 3 years until the serious shit starts to kick in, OP. In my 5th year now and I'm unreavelling.

What happened after that?

Binge watching anime and playing vidya can only take you so far.
If you don't have a job, hobby or social life that engages you, it took me about 3 months to lose it completely (i.e. self harm, suicide attempts) when I was living alone and going to college.

how are you doing now?

>tfw two years of nonstop shitposting has made it hard for me to talk in a rational form
>on other sites I usually start sentences with > even if it is serious as fuck
>I literally shitpost in real life
>I have forgotten a lot of the shit that i learned in school
>its hard to socialize, even around family
>there is way more to it
Never become a hikki

I definitely started seeing the effects after a few months, >2 years in I see even more of 'em.
It doesn't necessarily fuck you up, however.
It's what you make it.
nearing 3 years here and it's getting to me
>>27336864
A few years if you're naturally introverted. A few months for most people.

started to travel from home. eventually passed college. now stuck doing a dead end job still travelling from home. Even though my parents keep bugging me to move out because I have saved enough money now, I would legit kill myself if I ever lived alone again.
3 years and I suffer from irreversible mental damage
>>27336864
Don't know if it is a side effect of isolation, but I no longer enjoy anything, vidya, anime, movies, all seems like a chore to me.
>all of these people that went nuts after being a shut in for half the time you did
>tfw probably already mad
>>27337647
shut in while still being surrounded by people (i.e. parents, siblings) is not the same as living completely alone in some flat in the city by yourself.

Well my died dad when I was in the hospital so when I got out the apartment was being rented by someone else.
I made contact with my mother who I disliked and hadent spoken to in like 2 years. She took me in hoping to get me on my feet. I've been living with her and my little sister now for a year and haven't accomplished shit. Ive been trying to get on neetbux for over a year but I just got another denial letter so we will see what's up. Anyway I pretty much spend my time looking at 4chan/Reddit playing dota2/runescape, and PlayStation games. Don't leave the house because no one ever talks to me and I just feel lonely. Completely addicted to porn. I stopped working out and am gaining weight. I'm completely depressed and only have one friend who completely became alpha over me so I don't even wanna chill whit him anymore. Any ways dudes 1 day at a time.

>How long do you have until the isolation completely fucks you up?
I was getting weird by around 18 or 19 (3 years in), been 9 years now and I'm completely unsalvageable.
I mean I have a job but on 95% of my off time im just sitting alone at my place. Ive been doing that for 2 years now and im starting to get very lonely and depressed
Seven years and counting.
Now, I want to be with people, but grow irritated when I have to interact with them.
still going strong 2 years as a shut in, could probably do another 2
>>27336864
Dunno, OP. Tho Im happy to say that I after 4 years of isolation I can somewhat hold a conversation down so maybe you will too?. Happened last saturday, saw an old acquaintance and I had him fooled I was a completely normal human being.
It depends on how long you can hold out
8 months and no contact later, I tied a belt to my closet hanger pole and tried to hang myself just to see how it felt like and whether that method of suicide would be the easiest
It wasn't
It unwrapped itself and I fell out of the closet and hitting my head on my bed and onto the ground. From there I stared at the ceiling wondering what the hell I was doing

>I stopped working out and am gaining weight.
Stop eating so much. I've actually lost weight as a NEET even though I never work out. I never do anything, so I can eat only one meal a day without overexerting myself and feeling negative effects.

That's a symptom of depression. Ahedonia is a general inability to feel pleasure.
Social isolation and depression are often times co-morbid, but one can also cause the other. In the case of robots, I'd imagine it's generally social isolation which leads to depression.
An interesting side effect of social isolation is that it's actually more dangerous for you than smoking cigarettes, and can vastly diminish your life span. As can depression for that matter.
Basically, social isolation and/or depression causes your body to be in a constant state of stress, which is of course bad.

You'll get out of that, just have to get though the rut. And when you wake up you'll be happy you have people to talk to and people who call and talk to you, respect your opinions. I'll give you my Skype you want.
>>27337772
I know how that is
I feel a yearning for camaraderie and to socialize and to have a gf
But when I'm actually around people I hate them and want nothing more than to get away
