@melelconquistador human beings are like dice my friend we have to roll. I forget who said that but I found it interesting.
Remember that Bruce Lee said something about being like water. Water is flexible it goes places, flows here, flows there, flows where ever there is space or a path. But at the same time if you pour water into a cup, the water conforms to that cup and becomes one with it. The same goes if you pour water into anything static; the water becomes static, it becomes that thing. You can choose to be one or the other. I chose to be like flowing water most of the time, I flow where there is a path to flow but there are some times where I chose to be static also. It all depends on the situation and what you really want and how you plan to get what you want because we are all pursuing happiness.
As such Be like water, my friend. If you must flow then do that, if you must remain static then do that also. You have to be flexible in how you approach things, take and do what is useful to you and abandon what isn't. If you follow the way the Japanese mostly do things then you will be as most Japanese are. So if the fear of talking to people for fear of bothering them makes you static, you can choose to remain static or you can choose to flow it's all up to you in the end, you get to decide how you roll. Again, be like water, my friend; Decide when to flow. Also remember to be like a dice and never forget to roll. ;)
Besides, Nobita mentioned that one of the best ways to form friendships in Japan is to engage in hobbies and events that people partake in so if the Japanese tatemae the fuq out of you with direct social interactions, you can then roll into every hobby and event you can find and flow through it all to reach the people you want to reach. A lesson in flexibility. ;)
