This very bizarre articles focuses on a sentiment that is predominantly found in the East – Shame. Yes, we as Westerners feel it, but for different reasons than those described in this article. Apparently, a syndrome called “jiko-shisen-kyofu” or “fear of one’s own glance” is starting to appear in Japan.
Just read the article and try to grasp the concept.
Sincerely,

Japanese (and other Asian cultures) are just so hard on themselves.
