Did anyone notice that it is 0.4 percent of Japan's population?

As of 2010, about 2 percent of the U.S. adult population have a severe form of social phobia and have trouble leaving their house, according to the National Institutes of Mental Health: http://www.livescience.com/16216-outgoing-shy-personality-na...

It's not coming to the west. It's more here than there.

I don't know about it being the fault of the education system, though.
