Well I have slight social phobia, I don't like dealing with people and I'm scared too and I'm sure this comes from my past experiences where I was often outcasted or insulted or was insulted by people.

You'll be in a giant city where I presume you're not very familiar with the language. No one will understand you, or vice versa. You may be forced to interact with many people to get around.

I don't understand facial expressions most of the times. It's hard for me to read them. I don't get tones, sarcasm, or jokes, unless they are very obvious.

The Japanese language is very indirect, meaning you'll probably have a hard time recognizing certain facial expressions and what is generally implied by the speaker if you can't pick up vocal tones.

I take just about everything literally. I come off blunt and rude at times. Also I come off overly sensitive.

Once again, Japanese is very indirect. People may think you're being really brash.


I like routine, I dislike spontaneous things. It drives me mad when something happens that messes up my routine.

Will you react if you miss a train/taxi, wake up late, get stuck in traffic, or other city related delays?


Overall, it really depends on what you think you're confident with. I am in no way saying that I don't think you could make it in Japan, however, I will say just from a helpful perspective, it's hard enough to make it here for people who don't have any types of disabilities or diseases. If you feel confident enough to handle these core issues that you've identified, then you should be alright.
