In this episode of The Brian Coach , Mary explores the growing and concerning phenomenon of extreme social withdrawal. Mary compares Japan’s 'hikikomori' to the Western trend of 'bedrotting'.
Hikikomori, describes individuals—often young adults—who isolate themselves in their homes or even a single room for months or years due to social pressure, anxiety, and mental health challenges. Once thought to be a youth issue, it now affects middle-aged adults, leading to societal concerns such as elderly parents supporting their reclusive adult children.
Bedrotting is a viral social media trend in the U.S. that involves spending excessive time in bed. It is often framed as 'self-care' but potentially signals deeper mental health issues like depression and burnout.
Mary discusses the importance of community and strategies to address these challenges before they become long-term crises.
Whether in Japan or the U.S., these trends highlight the broader issue of disconnection and the need for stronger social support systems. Tune in for an insightful conversation on mental health, cultural influences, and how we can better support people struggling with social withdrawal.
