Hikikomori
People who withdraw into their homes or rooms and rarely go outside are called hikikomori (引きこもり) in Japanese.
The term hikikomori is derived from hiki (引き - meaning "withdrawal") and komori (こもり - meaning "seclusion").
Japan has a large number of hikikomori, and according to a 2023 survey by the Cabinet Office, it is estimated that about 1.46 million people aged 15-64 (approximately 2% of the population) are in a state of a long-term hikikomori.
I am often in a state of a short-term hikikomori on my days off.
Lately, even in a video game (The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom), I have been withdrawing into the underground and avoiding coming out. In a way, I am a hikikomori in a double sense.

引きこもり
自宅や自室に閉じこもり、そこからほとんど出ない人のことを「引きこもり」と言います。
「引きこもり」は "withdrawal" を意味する「引き」と、"seclusion" を意味する「こもり」から成る言葉です。
日本は引きこもりが多い国であり、2023年の内閣府の調査によると、15～64歳の国民の約2％に当たる約146万人が、長期的な引きこもり状態にあると推計されています。
私は休みの日、よく引きこもり状態になります。
最近はゲーム（ゼルダの伝説 ティアーズ オブ ザ キングダム）の中でも地底から外に出ようとせず、二重の意味で引きこもっています。
