When I think about Japanese people these days, always this word comes to my mind
"Morbid"
Morbid mental weakness
Morbid unconfidence
Morbid avoidance
Morbid self-consciousness
Morbid communication phobia
Morbid attentiveness
Morbid carefulness
Morbid nervousness
Morbid politeness
Morbid dependence
Morbid passiveness
Morbid.......
Since I came back from my first foreign stay almost a decade ago......in other words, since I saw Japanese people from the outside for the first time......, I've always thought Japanese people looked very awkward & very odd
But I didn't use this term, "morbid"
Now this word comes to me quite often, probably because I found they are actually much more awkward than I had thought
It became more apparent through their behaviours and attitude around covid & a mask in particular
It's really hard to understand why many are still putting a mask
.....well, actually I know why
Because they are morbidly concerned with others
Because they can't do anything different from others
Because they have zero sense of individuality
This complete lack of "self", but only an excessive attention to others
This complete lack of "self", but only an excessive attention to others
This complete lack of "self", but only an excessive attention to others
is nothing but morbid
The Japanese has no shame with being dependent on others
The Japanese has no shame with being so lazy
The Japanese has no shame with expecting everything from others
Thus they can't stop paying attention to others
Thus they always look nervous
Always unconfident
Always timid
"Consideration", "kindness", "politeness"
I hear these "compliments" from non-Japanese persons about Japanese people
Well, actually, once open the YouTube, all foreign tourists & residents talking about this
And brainless Japanese audiences become extremely happy to hear these "approvals" from outsiders
But it is exactly this consideration, kindness & politeness that makes the Japanese look morbid in my eyes
Through their kindness & politeness, I see only their meek weak mentality
To be considerate, to be kind, to be polite......all is important qualities & it's universally respected
because, for this, we have to put others first
But the Japanese puts others first
to escape,
to avoid,
& to protect their tiny fragile ego
The Japanese looks considerate
because they pay an excessive attention to others all the time
The Japanese looks kind
because they pay an excessive attention to others all the time
The Japanese looks polite
because they pay an excessive attention to others all the time
The Japanese are empty
Nothing inside
Only an excessive amount of "what others do & what others think about me?"
An entire population in this country is like 13 years old teenager
They expect too much from others, like a kid
They expect others to understand them, like a kid
They are always waiting for being understood, like a kid
Yet they never try to make others understand
And yet, if not being understood, they get angry
Very angry
Very secretly
The Japanese are spoiled
Empty but only self-consciousness
Self-consciousness in teenagers is charming & adorable, while self-consciousness in an entire population, from babies to old decayed riff-raff, looks disgustingly miserable, unbearably morbid
In order to live in Japan, you have to be a total idiot & fool
Anime illustrations everywhere
Pedophilic school girl characters everywhere
Unnecessary very basic warnings everywhere
Too many noisy announcements everywhere
Lot of dishes are getting sweeter
Everything is decorated with Kawaii & cute
Everything is covered by strange lukewarm "kindness"
To deal with these absurd garbages every day, you have to be a total idiot
The Japanese can eat only overly soft, overly childish, overly meek things
Otherwise, their small, sensitive, fragile stomach can't digest
To be accepted & loved by the Japanese, you have to act like a total fool
........Reading until here, one question must come up;
"So, why do you pay such 'an excessive attention' to the Japanese people?"
Good point
―"Why are the Japanese so timid?"
―"Why are the Japanese so passive?"
―"Why are the Japanese so nervous?"
―"Why are the Japanese so awkward?"
―"Wny are the Japanese so avoidant?"
―"Wny are the Japanese so afraid of others?"
―"Why do the Japanese have such a weak meek mentality?"
These are very personal questions for myself
I'm still not blind enough and think "I'm un-plugged, I'm enlightened & I'm not like them"
I wish I would be, but it's an obvious fact that these morbid characteristics of the Japanese don't come from mere personal independent experiences, but from much larger, far wider backgrounds, called culture & history
Otherwise, this large extent of an entire population looks this nerdy
Apparently I share exactly the same things with them
If they are this morbid, then it's very likely that I am as morbid as they are
And I have to figure out why they are so morbidly timid, passive, coward
& why my people in my county are so morbidly empty
This is exactly a question for myself
