It's not sad I think they just don't put such meaning in sharing their opinions. And of course it depends on the situation.

[@DDranks]

It's not that they never show them to _anybody_, they just don't tend to show them _publicly_.

[@Mwoods2272]

It's about not letting the other person feel bad. If you get a present from a friend and you don't like it, do you tell them and make them feel bad or say "Thanks" and put it away.

[@TakahashiTakami]

I think it really depends on the person more than anything. As not everyone may be like that. However, yes, generally speaking Japanese people are like that. It comes down to the tatemae/honne aspect. It’s like at home you may not be that way, but in public you are. It’s like wearing a mask really. The mask may not reflect what you truly feel on the inside. However, Japanese from a young age are taught to always show respect to everyone and their elders and always be polite no matter the situation really. I sadly am the same way though. I’m Japanese American, raised in the U.S., but was born in Japan. I can definitely say that I’m not one to show my feelings or opinions really and that I’m a very private and personal type of person. I think that all Asian cultures practice this type of aspect to a certain degree though.

Wellll, I've lived in Japan most of the time since 1991, and I think the stereotypes are MOSTLY true. Only difference is the degree.

I tend to assume most people think of a stereotype as a common or average trait.

I'm white and was born in the US. I don't think I held any of these beliefs but then I've been to Japan and seen it first hand. I've been to many countries all over the world and what you find out is it's all pretty much the same. The only place I've ever been treated poorly was Hong Kong back in the late 70s. I was in the Navy and many port towns don't think much of the US Navy because of our behavior. We pretty much earned that reputation. Can't really blame them.

[@Lobronzo21]

5:15 I want to be friends with those girls so bad! They're a hilarious duo xD

[@whatthemeowsdat]

Surface level politeness is definitely better than just straight up being rude and crass. The reason why I think this is better is that, interaction between two strangers are in most cases just an instance. An instance can't be long enough for two strangers to know each other enough to conclude that the other person is reasonably unlikeable. And, if they do conclude they are unlikeable just from that instance, it's really just mundane annoyance without any substance because it's easier to deal with things of that level of significance that way. The fact that they are that considerate of the other person over their own just to not mess with anyone's day in any way is already a great standard to hold and is really admirable.

[@hindsightpov4218]

This video seems to focus on Western stereotypes of Japanese women but not on Western stereotypes of Japanese men. I wish they spoke to more men because they are more negatively maligned from Westerners than the women are.

[@NaNa-wy2tk]

HindsightPOV oh yeah, westerners think they're nerdy, weak, girly, their women don't like them and so on.

[@takada5743]

I think the absence of male stereotypes goes along with what the girl in the blue shirt is saying, most of the foreign focus on Japan is on the women, some foreign men are very expectant of Japanese women and fetishize them a lot and totally cast Japanese men aside.

HindsightPOV I wouldn’t say that’s true. I have many positive impressions of Japanese men, and Japanese people in general. They strike me as considerate, thoughtful, hard working, with a sense of humor and appreciation of camaraderie and friendship (even if friendship doesn’t come easily-perhaps it’s even regarded more highly because of that). They also have a deep appreciation for art and culture, which I appreciate.

[@rdizzy1]

To be fair, I think foreign men in the US from many countries have better chances with US girls as well, women love certain accents, and foreign men can be seen as "exotic", or just anything outside the norm.

from japan 🇯🇵Many Japanese don't often say true intention because tend to give top priority to the feeling of the partner. I don't know whether it is good, or this is bad. However, at first I give priority to the feeling of the partner rather than myself because we received education to think about a feeling of another person that you must not trouble another person since I was young. And I'm satisfied in it if a partner is pleased. I don't repress my feeling .Just I respect the feeling of the partner. Stress piles up letting I say my true intention and make a partner uncomfortable. I think that it is from these reasons that a Japanese is polite. In addition, Japan has more disasters than other countries. You must help each other with another person at the time of the earthquake in particular. Of course my thing thinks about the thing of the partner in such a case, too. I line up in the row well. I use the restroom neatly. I don't pollute a refuge. There is always such a consciousness. The Japanese don't say true intention because it is the greatest happy by not saying the true intention and the partner feel so good.Sometimes we say the true intention... My English is sorry in absurdity. When it is understood, I am thankful. from japan🇯🇵

[@sasmalprasanjit2764]

It's Not Good. Telling not the True Intention is equal to Hiding of Emotions, which Kills you inside + it's Also equal to Lieing OR Cheating in India. . from Childhood we been taught Hiding it emotion, or True intention of feelings kills you inside will AFFECT both the Person or Partner. . It S consider as CHEATING in INDIA... Or Hiding is Considered as some wrong Sinister Incident We might get in Trouble for sure or Loose Friends or Family very easily if we do that in here for SURE. .

[@animalfinatic9366]

Yeah, stereotypes exist for a reason. People are closeminded are easier being told what to believe rather than thinking for themselves. If you genuinely think stereotypes exist for any other reason besides that, then you are just proving you do not read enough history books. Some people just don't want to improve themselves. Even if there are people of said stereotype speaking on the stereotype, you'd rather believe what you think is true, rather than what is. Just because you don't see the harm of such stereotypes, doesn't mean it isn't there. It just means, you are not all there.
