TL;DR: Just want to hear your mundane life so I can justify my mundane life.

Since there aren’t many casual topics so I guess I’ll start one.

This is the second time I come to Japan for work and living is kinda stale now, for lack of a better word. Last time I stayed for about a year, and this time also.

There are not many people in my country have a chance to get here (weak passport as an example), so I tried a lot to get chances to come here. To make it clear that I don’t fantasize about my life will change that much when I come here, but still I wanted to make It count.

Try to go out of my comfort zone meet people, join meetup group (which I never do in my country), but I still don’t experience many meaningful things, and don’t have much connections either. When I travel somewhere, I often find myself going alone, and It really make me lose motivation so fast. (I wish I can talk to local people, but It’s not helpful that I’m socially awkward so my only interaction in those trips mostly come from the restaurants).

So this time I want to travel again but only thinking about my past experiences make me hesitate. Maybe It’s just that I’m not suitable to live abroad and travelling stuffs or maybe It’s just better to chill around in my apartment and jogging around when I’m off from work like I’m currently do.

So just curious what does your daily life look like? What do you do to make It less mundane?

    Hang in there. If you want traveling friends, you need to make the friends part first. It takes time to build a relationship with someone that you would trust enough to go on a trip with. Keep finding and doing hobbies that involve people, and hopefully that’ll work out.

    Adult daily life is pretty mundane. Just keeping my head down and hoping to reach retirement.
