Burnout and Fleeting Friendships | Kanpai Kronicles 4

We're going to take it slow this episode and talk about burnout, fleeting friendships, finding your support system, and the desperation we can get to when we're trying to find our way back 'home'. This is not a light-hearted episode, and though we talk about our experiences in Japan, we also talk about how to cope with ourselves before and after it. Hope you learn a lot from this one!Timestamps:5:20 How we handle burnout changes as we grow older10:42 Burnout multiples if all the contexts gather in one place15:32 "Growing up as a person, there's something wrong with me"20:50 Creating personas as a coping mechanism for stress26:56 Tokyo is too fast-paced for nature33:45 The first step to making friends needs courage41:37 People adapt at different speeds to get comfortable in speaking their mind 49:40 When friendships deepen after exchange1:00:33 "Everyone is busy"1:05:17 The beauty of friendship is the time spent keeping it up1:11:05 Social media is a form of burnout1:17:52 Coping with fleeting connections1:30:42 To meet with the people you know before exchange again1:38:16 There was a desperation to get back to where you did exchange1:48:10 Find your support systemFollow Holly here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hotaru.chi_/Twitter: https://twitter.com/hotaruchi_YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCozAFQfdEfhjmyafFjesaqgFollow Norm here:Twitter: https://twitter.com/thisaintnormYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClRCbVifuTpvHn6WVcJaXdA/videos
