This phrase was used in "Sora o Kakeru Shoujo" without so much as a clue.
Luckily, it has a Wiki page all to itself. This probably means that sad gits like me are expected to understand it <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Oh Pish!!
You're not properly reclusive, just a bit hibernatory which everyone gets like in fits and starts. For a start you have us over, and KW, and parties, and go to the pub, and shopping etc etc.
What's the Japanese word for "stays-in-a-lot-but-not-reclusive"?? <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->
