ive also lived in japan
its not all roses. its a lonely place where even japanese people have a hard time socialising, let alone an outsider in a xenophobic society who doesnt speak their language fluently.
Its a very rule oriented society, this means its safe but it also means everyone is a weird stickler for the rules. The carefree freedom you have in america is not a thing there.
Ive always thought that in the west you may be afraid for your safety, but in japan you fear being shamed. Its was at least for me a constant thought in the back of my head, am I following all these weird unwritten rules in this society. Step on the wrong side of the elevator and youll feel peoples eyes burn into the back of your head. You wont fully ever know what is okay and what is not okay.
The nail that sticks out will be hammered down, its a tough place to be an individual. You must integrate. But your a 6 foot white guy, youll always stick out. Just your existence is at odds with the cultural expectations.
And dating is fucking weird. Ive never been tortured heavier than by japanese and korean girls. The manosphere idea that western women are corrupted feminazis and that asians are better is hilariously out of touch.
Weeb ass foreigners are actively made fun of in japan btw. Loser back home is a real thing.
I could go on, but yall aint ready for this pill
