Why Does Japan Have Record Levels of Anxiety? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Pls do broadcast lots of crimes commited by foreigners in Japan. I see it too often on youtube. It is a fact.

India is 99% anxious…

All the other countries are almost 100 percent anxious. World doesn't know about them because they haven't done this survey.

Conduct a survey in India, Im sure 90% of Indians are anxious😂

Different from the US, Japanese always keep preparing for their deep anxiety.

Old Japan: Bankai🗡
New Japan: Hentai😂

🙏look at the environment they live in,so confined n overcrowded. & 5g 🙏

India more than 90% for sure 😢

Japan has already entered a period a thousand years ago where the correct Dharma has not been passed down.
The correct Dharma was passed down for 500 years after the death of Buddha.
The next thousand years will be a time when the Dharma will become a fiction.
We are now in the Latter Day of the Law.

Japan is a country prone to earthquakes, so it is natural and necessary for Japanese people to be cautious. Thanks to this mindset, even minor earthquakes rarely cause buildings to collapse, and the Shinkansen and trains operate safely and punctually.
When comparing the damage caused by earthquakes that are considered minor in Japan to the significant damage they can cause abroad, it becomes clear that Japanese people have a strong culture of preparedness.

Additionally, it is worth noting that many international surveys of this kind are created by Western research firms using Western standards. As a result, these surveys may not align with the Japanese perspective and might fail to fully capture the mindset of Japanese people. This is something to be mindful of.

2nd must be india 😂🇮🇳

I am Japanese, and I believe Japan is generally a good country. Wherever you go in the country, the roads are well-maintained, and transportation is convenient. There is an abundance of remarkable culture and architecture rooted in history, as well as uniquely creative services and content. Above all, the cities are clean. The general level of public manners is high, and the crime rate is low. Once you get used to this, it can be hard to adapt to living elsewhere.

However, human relationships in Japan are very closed-off and often overly clingy. There is a strict hierarchy, and the working environment is terrible. The economy is stagnant, and there are few young people striving to climb the ladder through hard work. That said, this can also mean there is less competition. In fact, you might have a higher chance of success by working hard in Japan than trying to make it in the United States.

For better or worse, Japan is a declining country, but with the right strategies, it is still possible to find happiness here. Many people can only think of following a pre-established career path as a way to bring happiness to their parents. However, the lifestyle that the older generation once aspired to can no longer lead to happiness in modern Japan.

Recently, among young people in Japan, there’s been a growing trend of using ‘job quitting services.’ These are agencies that handle the resignation process on behalf of employees who’ve decided to quit but feel too uncomfortable to inform their employers directly. Once they use the service, they never have to face their employers or return to the office again.

Some might think it’s shameful for adults to rely on such services, but they’ve become increasingly popular. This year, Japan had a 9-day New Year holiday. Many young people, feeling too anxious to return to work after the break, turned to these job quitting services, leading to a record-high number of users.

What a pathetic trend.

日本人です。私や私の周りの人達はみんなとても幸せですよ。
この国に生まれて本当に良かった。どこの国にもそれなりに問題はあります。

海外の方が問題が多い気がしますが？

We have been “unhappy people” since finished WW2.

This level of stress is nothing compared to what we japanese experienced preparing for university since 13 years old, sometime even earlier.

All the expectations, responsibilities from school, family and society is really too much. Then when the time comes that we finally got a job, life only gets more stressful for us. Then we're scared if we'll even be able to retire or get our pension.
I know the West has same problems but in Japan, it's worse.

私は日本に住む外国人です。私は同意しません。最近、日本人はお互いに思いやりを持つようになり、過重労働の従来のやり方は変わってきていると思います。はい。国によって問題は異なります。しかし、他の国と比べると、日本にはほとんどありません。このようなことです。日本はこれを克服できると信じています。インドのような国では、もっと多くの問題があります。若者向けの仕事がないので、人々はより不安になっていると思います。少なくとも日本は若者向けの仕事を提供しています。私はこの国が好きですし、皆さんの幸運を祈っています。幸運を祈ります。

不安といっても、日常に支障をきたすレベルなのかどうかで意味が違うと思いますが…。
震災のリスクを考えれば寧ろ国民全員はある程度の不安を感じていたほうがいいと思いますよ、不安がなければ対策も危機意識も生まれません。

Having travelled from the corner to coner on the planet earth, I found the Westerners always worry about money and sickness. That's their pass time.

そもそも、遺伝子的に不安を感じやすい民族だからなあ日本人。近年色々あるからだとも思うけど。

3:48 少子高齢化や長時間労働ももちろん原因でもあるとは思うのですが、 ここまで低いのは単純に日本人のネガティブ思考も関係があると思います。
労働時間はアメリカや中国、韓国の方が長い（G7の中では4位）で、有給休暇が少ない代わりに祝日が多く設定されています。
失業率も低く、賃金が低い分物価も安い方で、社会保障も充実している。
けれど、インターネットで他者との比較が簡単になったために、ハイライトをその人の全てと思い込むようになった。
結果的に、自分の日常を卑下するようになって精神的に病みやすいのではないでしょうか…
（若者の死因一位が自殺であるのもおそらくそうかと😢）

Corruption among politicians and government officials has a detrimental impact on our country. Public servants prioritize personal enrichment over their duty to serve the people. The media is also on their side. They are selling out our country, contributing to economic and social challenges. We are fed up with this.

Believe me India is more anxious.
