Do you mean a Hikikomori?
No i'm not.
I mean Otaku.
Otaku means not leaving your house because of your fandom, it means having no social life because of your fandom, it means that your life is your fandom.
A lot of people use it as a word for anime/manga fans, that's not what the word actually means and in japan it is a very, VERY insulting word.
I don't know about you, but where i'm from having your life revolve around one single thing sacrificing all social relationships isn't a healthy nor good thing, it's a pretty pineappleing bad thing.
The word itself comes from 'house' because it means that you're not leaving your house due to said fandom.
