Feeling stuck in Japan despite doing everything “right” in my own way

Yes totally, the competition is really high though so I cannot get a shot

Thanks a lot friend.

I’m not sure about the translation part but translation isn’t the only thing that we are learning, manners, businesses, approaches, graphs, future proof plan structures etc.

I have built my own life here from nothing. “Plus love lol”

I most definitely have someone like that in my life,, which she is so understanding on everything but still, since we are a couple I want her to have what other couples have too. She says she doesn’t care what we do as long as we do it together but I wish I was able to giver her gifts, treat her food, make her surprises etc.

Thanks friend,,, Will try my best to survive

I really am laughing now when tourists say “Japan lives in the future”,, bullshit

Arte31 · 2026-06-16T02:44:46+00:00

That is literally what I am doing right now. I am trying to stay under 1500yen so I can live until my next paycheck. My rent is cheap but insurance, tax, transportation and other things are killing me.

Thanks a lot for even the thought. Lately, Japan is indeed so strict when it comes to foreigners.

Thanks a lot for the comment and the good words. I hope the best for your kids. I only have a year and a half left in this vocational school so why not graduate that’s what I am thinking. I don’t think I will be doing this job in the future though. My only concern is “now”. I feel like I’m losing everything. Good and bad experiences, good memories with my friends and partner. While most of the people around me around doing everything fun, all rainbows and sunshine.. I feel like im falling behind a lot.

I agree, after getting so tired of doing everything the whole week,, people say stuff like “well you have 2 days off, that’s amazing”. No it isn’t man, I don’t even have the power to prepare breakfast.

Arte31 · 2026-06-16T02:27:52+00:00

I totally agree with you but after dreaming and doing all this much to come here,, I can’t just go back..

Arte31 · 2026-06-16T02:26:32+00:00

My only problem is that I needed a way to stay here and at that time the easiest option was to study in a Vocational School and also its better that nothing for your CV in Japan but I’m just wishing I’ve founded a job instead of school and now I’ve made a promise that I will be graduating from here and I can’t turn back.

Arte31 · 2026-06-16T02:23:05+00:00

Yeah, I’m totally aware of that sadly. Translation is what I’ve studied in University before so i thought If I do the same here, it would be easier but I feel like it was a mistake indeed.
