This was beautiful. I get panic attacks from being around a large group of people so I finally quit going to big functions. I too am happier. Thank you for letting people in. If we listen to other's we can learn so much. God bless you.
Thank you for letting me know I am not the only one. Now I understand one of the reasons that people prefer solitude to gathering. People maintain integrity of self that way.
Yeah, conformity can unpleasant. If you feel uncomfortable somewhere, rather than stay put and try to force yourself to cope, it may make more sense to leave. It's a tactic I have used sometimes with pretty good results so far 💪💪
I understand there is a lot of pressure on Peolpe in Japan, from what I've heard. When I was in Jr High school my best friend & his friend gave me a booklet, 'How to be a Non-Conformist'. Laughable. I bet they're molded more by society than I've been since then & don't even realize. I've always been appalled at what I term; 'sheeple'. Scarey.
I really think if you are in it, you don't know you are pressured to conform. It took me 50 years to finally understood that I was suffering due to that. Japan has a difficult task to deal with. Rules and regulations are good in one aspect, but if people started to suffer to the point of no return, they have to reform from inside. Thank you for listening to me, mumbling.
@expatkaz742 I heard about it because my friend's son was residing there, married a Japanese woman & had a job teaching, maybe English? Being from the US, he definitely noticed the difference. That was 20yrs ago. No, most people do not realize how society influences & shapes even their thoughts, though they feel they're thinking for themselves. The rarest artist is the 'artist of life'.
