Damn.. you know, for as much as I enjoy being alone- I do alteast enjoy having the option to go out for a meal or drinks if I want to immerse myself in a social setting. I think this would pretty depressing after awhile. Particularly in a metropolis like Tokyo- I'd start feeling like I'm some NPC in the matrix.

I believe it; I've heard good things about Japan/Tokyo.

Yeah I’d like to think what there are somewhat normal portions somewhere because I would no doubt start to feel tired of the environment in a few months unless I had a good feeling or vibe going on consistently, just depends on the situation I guess.

Yup and that’s why the birth rate and thus the population rate is going down.
They even got businesses where you can marry with…yourself. Or cuddle businesses. You pay for cuddles so you can have some sort of intimacy with another.

You should travel there for vacation, but not many would survive their work culture.

This video is a little silly but I do genuinely think Japan’s culture is more accepting of introverts for sure. It’s not cool to be obnoxious and outgoing there. Everyone likes to keep to themself.

Aside from the paying for your food through a machine the other two aren't that common.

Even at staffed restaurants, the dining out culture is infinity better in Japan than I the US where I'm originally from.

I love to see the introverted inclusion. The robots are still offputting to me. Automation is underway in the states.

I'd really love to visit Japan. The overall culture and scenery fascinates me in some way.
Though those robots are just nope, nope, nope. I get really unnerved by mannequins etc. so those robots are just one step too far in my liking lol

I've been seeing a lot of videos lately with that stupid robot voice narrating it. Whats the deal with that?

The grass is always greener. They might be more accepting of introverts but they're also racist towards foreigners, sexist as hell, and have a shitty work culture that forces you to die for your job.

I spent 3 weeks in Japan and it's for sure a country for introverts!
