Scared to travel on my own?

I've been to the Philippines a couple times since my mom had a house there but I'm going again in the summer and this time on my own but I'm very nervous and anxious. I know she has friends there and my cousin is visiting too but she is doing her own thing and staying at her own place and I don't want to seem like I'm following her around the entire time. I'm nervous because I know getting around is hard and since I'm a foreigner living in a non touristy spot I get a lot of unwanted attention and language gap. I'm going so a i can go to South Korea with my cousin later on and Singapore, I know this is a once in a lifetime opportunity that I don't want to miss but I feel like canceling because trying to understand how to get around airports (there's a ton of layovers) and contacting people with very bad connection makes me anxious.

Are there any free lounge areas at Tapei's (TPE) airport?

I have over a 12 hour layover in Taipei and was just wondering if there would happen to be any reclining lounge chairs near the the gates in any terminals. They charge a ridiculous rate for their pay lounges so I was just curious as to whether or not they have complimentary recliners where you can sleep.
