hikikomori 

Someone who has withdrawn from all real-life social interaction. A hikikomori rarely leaves their home, and has no friends or family with whom they interact. A hikikomori is NOT always an otaku, nerd, gamer, etc, though they can be.

John's agoraphobia got so bad that he became a hikikomori.

Hikikomori 

A hikikomori is someone who rarely, if ever, leaves their home or room. They withdraw from society and have few friends.

Hikikomori also tend to indulge in otaku-esque interests, such as anime and manga and more than likely tend to be NEET.

When one refuses to leave their home for over six months, they are technically a hikikomori.

Hikikomori 

Hikikomori is a term used in Japan to describe people who act as recluses and rarely leave their houses, preferring to spend their days and nights usually on the internet, especially on Japan's 2ch. Since such people hold no job, they state their occupation as 'hikikomori', which literally means 'home security guard' as a means to sugar-coat their unemployment, and generally nerd, status.

I'm not going to go out at all this summer- I'm going to stay home and be hikikomori.
