How Japanese Girls and Boys get Angry with you: Don't miss these subtle hints!

I do remember my Japanese Culture teacher telling us this that with Japanese people, you gotta read between the lines since they get pretty subtle or passive with you instead of the Western way of being confrontational. She told us one time with her neighbors, one mother had a son who was always loud and then one time the other neighbor talked to the mother and the neighbor said that their son sure likes to sing a lot. So then the mother quickpy apologized and bowing. So the neighbor meant that the song was always being loud.

[@BrianOblivionB]

I'd really hate to have aspburgers in Japan. The answer would probably be "he sure does"

[@morphsuitmeele1171]

@@BrianOblivionB Guess that might add to the issue why Japan has a bullying/hikkiomori issue. There are many reasons for that but the high need for putting groups above individual needs doesn't seem to benefit anyone who deviates from the norm/expected rules.

[@BrianOblivionB]

@@morphsuitmeele1171 well that is kinda the point behind collectivism.

[@Kindred_Lamb]

@@morphsuitmeele1171 for hikikomori, its mainly on the old golden rule of Japan "the nail that sticks out will be hammered down" and people who deviated from societal norms and didnt comply with their conformist society were shunned upon, thus tought people to be more wary and overtime they learned to avoid such unwanted feelings of being judged, not everyone wanted to be a salary man or a yamato nadeshiko, therefore they defied yet the rules struck them down. However Japan is seeing light at the end of the tunnel as more youth in this day are communicating of their problems in the internet and starting to be more open to each other, learning that "no we dont have to be this way", and Japan is starting to be more accepting, slowly but surely, baby steps, Japan.

I feel like if they're upset, you'll for sure know? xD Maybe it's just my experience. I think it was you who mentioned there was a Japanese saying about being able to read the air? I remember when I studied abroad in Tokyo, I turned in one of my papers late to my study abroad advisor. This woman gave me the meanest mom face I have EVER...seen. It was very clear that she was upset without directly saying so. I was really young at the time, so the due date slipped my mind. Same with my Japanese language teacher then. Students wouldn't stop talking and she also made the same mom face. xD Class went quiet instantly.

[@nanomachine]

Maybe not the same but when I worked at a restaurant in Tokyo I had a manager that had a bad day (well, actually a bad attitude in general but I digress) and decided to take it out on me. After berating me for not being ashamed that I was over 30, unmarried, and a foreigner he waved his hand at me and loudly told me "もう帰れ！". Confused over his behaviour and this weird order I did what he told me, I said "お疲れ様です", changed clothes and went home in the middle of the dinner rush as a I walked past a fuming but speechless manager. This brought endless amusement to the chefs who were laughing their butts off all evening despite being yelled at by the manager. The chefs told me that apparently what I should have done was to counter with an apology and work even harder. That the manager was a creep that mistreated his foreign staff (he once bit me in the nipple in front of customers and kept touching my butt whenever he had the chance), so it was satisfying knowing the restaurant disappeared not long after I quit.

[@shanasakai2238]

What an evil manager you had! Good thing you don't see him anymore I'm guessing he might be a psycho or racist.

In America, depending on your class or social status, the subtle hints and expressions are the same.

[@russellschaeffler]

Many times I have noticed Japanese people not saying sorry after doing something. For example I was invitred to lunch by two Japanese students and we walked to the restaurant. On the way we crossed a street and a young man on a bicycle ran into on of the students who was a woman in her fifties, so of course I was expecting the young man to say sorry are you okay. But no he looked angry she was in his way and started to ride off, but there was such a crowd of people he actually bumped into her again. She wasn't hurt but shocked at how rude the guy was.

[@anonymousanon8366]

I appreciates how the director always tries to avoid his camera from recording some people on the street without their consent by moving the camera up suddenly or move too close to the mc unless they walk into their camera view by themselves ☺️

[@Dicyroller]

I grew up in both MN and the South of the USA. The first statement you made, "I wish you would have told me sooner/ earlier" is super angry. The second one would be, Oh thank you for pointing that out to me, or well aren't you a Darling for pointing that out. Don't have anything for 3. On the fourth, in the North we might tap on the shoulder for a line,, but standing too close just has us moving away. In the South, we will most likely tell you lines are back there, and if your too close, depending on the situation, try to get help. The fifth is universal in the USA. Whatever. The bounce is probably going to fit anyone anywhere. We just say ENOUGH or enough.

[@deadlykitten8771]

I hear number 1, 5 and 6 because of anime but the rest are new to me. Confrontational Japanese vocabulary is rather hard for me to imagine since they are so good at hiding their emotion.

[@haruhisuzumiya6650]

I seen Haruhi suzumiya anime that's very explosive

[@pratosaurusrex1128]

The one Japanese guy I know that got angry with me did it in a very direct way. He asked me why I was stealing Japanese girls from Japanese guys (I was with my then girlfriend, now wife at the time, but she on the other side of the room talking to other people). I don’t think this is representative of Japanese guys at all, it’s just the only time that comes to mind.

[@michaelk4896]

Lol sounds to me like he was more angry at himself for being unable to get himself a girl, but just taking it out on you instead because it's always easier to blame someone else (kind of a nasty habit I've seen now and then with Japanese men...). I had a colleague who'd go out of his way to be rude to me (mind you he was like 28 and I was 19), just because I could speak English and I didn't creep out female colleagues. I always brushed/laughed it off because I can't take such people seriously, especially if they're way older than you.

I had a friend who traded with some people in Japan. Even the trade was polite. However I am wondering what is the difference between Japanese Normal, Japanese gangster (yakuza), and Japanese class of untouchables or undesirable s. Their whole society thing is way more complicated than common American small town life. So what is the difference??? Are all equally polite or does each group have their own traditions or cultures inside of Japan?

[@decorachan4680]

So this is like... the street fights in Japan 😂

[@Animas42]

That number two is definitely the worst. So its literally one person that doesn't care enough to get the second one angry, to which the second replies with sarcastic remark. I doubt that's the good way to politely show that you're angry, because I doubt that the first person will just think: Oh right, that's my fault, he really has a reason to be angry. More than likely the first person will reply with another sarcastic remark. If this was "land of savages" the director would get a reply: You got a problem? Definitety the worst of the list. On the other hand, the director was totally at fault imho.

I have never heard people telling “いい加減にしなさい” in real life. Most of the time it’s hard to distinguish whether they’re just staying quite or actually angry at me. “黙れ” is pretty intense, isn’t it? I always hear “ゲー” or “ゲイ” around me “ゲイ” means gay

That’s probably because しなさい is very much a thing that parents/elders can tell their kids. It’d be extraordinarily condescending for someone to say that to someone of about the same societal status
