I wonder if anyone else has the same problem... I thought I would start a topic.

I have been coming to the US for about 20 years.
I did not come here because I wanted to, but because of my partner's situation.
Everyone has different reasons for coming to the U.S., and they may have different reasons, such as study, work, pursuing a dream, etc.
I think it is more like a dream. I didn't come to the U.S. with a positive attitude, and I still suffer from stress and anxiety and think about Japan.
Since I have spent every day in such a negative way, my English has not improved because I keep running away from it, and I continue to have a strange feeling of discomfort, as if I have missed the opportunity to get used to a very normal daily life.

Is there anyone else in my situation?

How old are you now?

I came here because I wanted to, I like English and I work for an American company, but I still can't understand some unexpected conversations 😅

If I were in Japan, I would have no problem communicating. I think I'm still far from being a native speaker.

Do you plan to go back when you get old ？?

It is easy to live in Japan because we are proper people.
Japan is a society where relationships are tenacious and the nail that sticks out gets hammered down, so it is a very cramped society.

I am in my 40s and have decided that my retirement will definitely be in Japan.
I feel that it is easier to live here, where relationships are not as intense as in Japan, and people do not interfere with each other. However, even after weighing the good and bad aspects, I still think Japan when I consider the environmental stress.

There are people who come to LA because they want to live there, or because they want to get married and have children.
New York is full of people who have a dream and a purpose.
It's too much of a mystery why people come here to have children and be a housewife after winning a green card. Why don't they just stay in Japan? ？ I don't understand why they come to the US.　Well, there are a lot of people like that who are strange and have their own habits, so I guess they don't feel comfortable in Japan
I am a green card holder!
But even if you have a green card, you can only waitress at a Japanese restaurant.

What a couple, there's a lot going on. I don't think it's about playing the victim or divorcing. I feel sorry for people who change their IDs and write for the purpose of melancholy. The more desperate people are for a living, the more they drive others into corners without compassion, so you shouldn't worry about them too much. It is not so unusual for people who have been here a long time and are still getting used to life.
This is especially true if you are immersed in the Japanese American community.
My acquaintance laughs it off, saying, "I still hate English ～.

How about getting physical or finding a hobby?
It's good for your body and good for your mental health.

It's not uncommon. I think so myself.
I see a lot of people with Japanese people, but I wonder if they are used to America ？

Maybe everyone has their own problems, and there is no need to deny their problems ？
I am not used to it. I'm not used to it, and I don't like Japanese people's way of thinking and customs, so to speak..."
Well, I came here with a lot of preparation, and I don't regret living here. If you regret too much, I recommend you to change something.

Showa mother

I think there are many people who don't want to respond even if they are in a similar situation because of all the aggravating responses. Because there seem to be a lot of people who want to further hurt those who are vulnerable. I don't think I need to tell you anything about me in particular, but I am able to live a normal life.

I have no difficulty living in the U.S. and I have citizenship. You say you are agitated, but I too think it would be a shame to live a life of negativity every day for decades and look forward to returning to Japan in old age.

I hope Topi can find someone in a similar situation to help her improve her self-esteem.

There are a lot of things that a married couple can do.
They play the victim, tell you to get a divorce,
meddle in their problems, and give you all kinds of advice.
And then, when you get back together, they will make you look bad when you give them advice, like that person said that. You can do whatever you want with your life.

It's probably because people who are full-time housewives and have a lot of free time complain a lot, and have a lot of time to think about things. It's also the same with getting together in the neighborhood and gossiping about people. There are a lot of those in Japan too.
If you can't afford to have a hobby, work and be independent, and use the money for your hobby. It doesn't matter if you are in the Japanese-American society or the American society. Do something you love to do that you can devote yourself to ！.

On Facebook, there was a guy who got a green card after getting married who took a picture of his green card and bragged about it
If you got a green card because of your skills, you can brag about it, but only people who got married or won a lottery brag about it
For people who are not interested in green cards, it's nothing to be jealous of. ？ I don't think people who think they are jealous are jealous because they want a green card ？.
