I've been living in Hawaii for a while which has a strong Japanese culture. The differences between between "forward" or "shy", "polite" or "rude", really come down to how the individual person relates to the larger society. In Japanese culture, people (by American standards) are very deferential to the group. People don't WANT to be different. Blending in, following tradition, not standing out are the overriding values. In American culture, it's the opposite. Being independent, thinking for yourself, standing up to the group, etc, are the overriding values. "Conformity" in America is weird - it means being independent like everybody else!
