I’m currently in the middle of a big job and life change and it’s causing all these negative thoughts about the future. The world has a lot of shitty things going on and it’s kind of hard to think long-term about jobs, houses, retirement. Adding all the stress of being a gay, foreign, single woman and not being able to marry and whatnot, it makes me quite worried.
So I want to ask, how do you all help yourself with these feelings of negativity and pessimism about the future? Taking part in the community? Meeting with other foreigners? I’d appreciate any advice!
Also, I know how negative and pessimistic people can be about life here (with pension and birth rates etc). I’ve already seen enough of that on other posts, so please keep that to yourselves. I want positivity please, as naive as it might be!
Also there’s no chance of me moving back to my country- I’ve committed to staying in Japan and can’t see a life of not being here.
