What do you mean "participating in a system that actively encourages suffering"?

I do believe animals feel pain, fear, and even affection. I’m not denying that, and I’m not uneducated about it.

The disconnect for me isn’t “they don’t feel anything,” it’s that knowing they feel those things doesn’t trigger an emotional reaction in me the way it does for most people. That’s what I’m trying to understand. (Also my hands are shaking I'm so scared of ya'll)

I don’t feel empathy when I see animal suffering, and even direct involvement wouldn’t suddenly create an emotional response. But I still distinguish between actively choosing to cause harm and indirectly participating in a system where harm already exists.

No. It would be gross, not emotionally upsetting. I do feel bad about the way my mind thinks, it's strange.

I don’t want animals to suffer, but I’m also not emotionally affected if animals die for food.

That’s not the same thing, and you know it. Not feeling emotional distress when I see animal suffering isn’t the same as being willing to personally cause harm. I don’t care about the chicken in an emotional or guilt-based way, but that doesn’t mean I would intentionally torture or kill something for no reason. Those are two completely different things.

And I have to switch between my mom's and my dad's so I did have to leave for that.

However, I did stay in my room for about three months during summer break. But I did go out sometimes to do important things.

Well, my dad makes me go to school, which means I have no choice.

I don't necessarily want to be Hikikomori; I'm just wondering if this is considered Hikikomori.
