I’ve been thinking about how communication styles are different between English and Japanese. In English, people tend to say “yes” or “no” clearly and express their opinions directly. I actually like that, because I feel like I can say what I think more easily in English. On the other hand, in Japanese, people often avoid being too direct which is nice, but sometimes I feel like I can’t express what I am thinking when I speak Japanese. Overall sometimes when I’m speaking English, the other person’s directness can hurt my feelings a little. And it makes me realize I’m still very Japanese inside 😅 What do you think about this?
