I’m a fully Japanese 21F, but I’ve lived abroad quite a bit in the US and UK.
I have close friends in Japan, but feel like I have trouble connecting with most people. I especially feel like I don’t have common topics to talk to them about. In fact, my international friends seem to have more topics in common with my Japanese friends than me. I’ve had people jokingly say that they are more Japanese than me. I’m in medical school here so I don’t meet that many new people at my university.
Right now, I spend most of my time on Reddit and tumblr and Instagram. I also have Twitter.
My Instagram reels and explore are a lot of content from Reddit and tumblr, and mostly English content, with a few johnnys snippets mixed in. It also shows me cute makeup products and cafes. Japanese dramas can make me feel awkward with their spacing of conversation and stuff and I generally prefer Full House, Brooklyn 99 and Criminal Minds.
What media do Japanese people use?? Where can I start spending my time so I have more topics in common with my Japanese peers?(My biggest hope is to make more friends and talk to guys)
