A man surnamed Wang in central China's Hunan province has stayed indoors for 10 years, after he failed to find a job and couldn't confront the talks among the neighbors, Chongqing Morning Post reported.

 Wang graduated from the college in 2000 without neither a Master's degree certificate nor a graduation diploma, as he failed many university courses. He failed to get a job and finally came home. Couldn't stand the neighbors' talks, Wang has stayed indoors since then until 2010.

Then he was persuaded to go to the hospital and was diagnosed as social anxiety and disorder. After certain treatment, he now decided to try to talk to strangers again.
