  • My living situation is definitely hard to keep up with to say the least. I recently left japan (for the time being) very abruptly and had to summon a plan for the next few months. There's a reality to living alone in japan that I want to speak on. I wasn't able to talk about one of the main reasons I left.

    I’m now studying in Netherlands and come from Japan. I can understand how hard time it was for you to live in Japan! I’m currently facing almost same issues as you! I don’t have friends and feel so alone but that what I want to do!! So I’ll strive to be strong!
    I often watch your videos to improve my English skills❤ if I were in Japan, I’ve could be friend with you!! Anyway I hope your decision will be great for you!!!

    So sorry you had to go through that. It’s not cool, the professor showed all your content. I can only imagine, how rough of an experience that all was. Hopefully when you return, having time away will help you regain focus. What are you studying in school? Have an amazing rest of your time off. You’re doing amazing! Btw, it’s admirable that you’re doing this all on your own. I wish I had this sort of experience, when I was your age. Enjoy every bit of life, and do what makes you happy!💕💕💕

    thanks for opening up and sharing ur truth DESPITE what you've been thru. everything u said in this video was so raw and real and its so refreshing to hear ur perspective.
    i hope u know that all that is not for nothing!!! thanks ryan :') keep it up!! whatever u decide to do I'm sure u'll thrive

    @samzn500 7 місяців тому +3

    I went through the same thing and also took a break too. What you're talking about tbh is a veeeery common international student experience unless you're like extremely extroverted and not give a fuck about changing your environment. I mainly focused on my life outside of university (bc going to class stressed me out so much) and focused on the few friends I had. I had a lot of lows but also a lot of highs i will never forget. Now that I'm graduating ill miss it sooo much. Don't take it for granted!

  • @IssaH437
    @IssaH437 7 місяців тому +20

    i love how "all over the place" this was. It shows a raw and unedited or filtered version of you and your thoughts. And tbh this is exactly how i talk and think so i don't see being all over a bad thing. I feel like we're friends when I watch your channel lmao. I also have a hard time actually connecting with people, I can make friends easily but like you said, I'm picky with who i choose to be around. I hate the feeling of being perceived by people, so I can imagine the feeling of walking in a room and all eyes being on you. I hope when you go back in the fall semester things are better, and maybe people become more self aware.

    I'm a new subbie from just a few uploads ago but have really been enjoying your content on YT. But oh my goodness. I could feel my anxiety just climb as you described what happened. You had certain boundaries that people just disregarded because you put yourself on social media. It's not fair to you and it's unfair of them to impose this on your whether they're aware of it or not. It's hard though. You couldn't be vulnerable on your own terms. I hope that during this hiatus you're able to find more peace and good energy from that mess. ❤❤❤

    You probably don't remember me WHICH IS 100% alright!! but one time I was in a reserved room with a mutual that you had revered way earlier ahead and I wasn't aware of this and you were so kind enough to let us use it afterward. I am so extremely sorry about that! But I wanted to come here and say that your feelings about this are so valid. I actually relate to it and had the same feelings as you ever since I got into the school. I've noticed a lot of shallow people and how everyone just knew each other which made it so overwhelming. I actually dislike the majority of the school for so many messed up things that I've seen other people do to each other including myself. I'm also trying to try to enjoy my uni experience too but its hard knowing that there are people that have hurt me and having to pass them in this small ass buildinG. I am so happy to hear that I am not the only one feeling like this.

I literally have 300 (not even thousands, just hundreds) subscribers on my IG, but everyone in my class was talking about me behind my back and get SOO mad at me sometimes. some teachers were also saying bad things to me such as "u don't have time to do your homework, but u uploade your videos everyday..." and shit like that while my blog was the most important part of my life!!! I didn't became popular, cause I needed to pay attention to my studies all the time and get high grades, tho :•<

    It's so funny because even though I don't have any kind of followings sometimes I don't like when people I know in person pop up in my online life. Like, even on Facebook if I comment on some random page about my asshole view on something, someone from my friends list will chime in and I'm like "we don't personally talk about this, go away." It's the internet, you feel like there should be a level of anonymity, even if you are the one putting the info out there.
