To me, the Japanese concept of "tatemae to honne" is just about lying to each other. Isn't it overly superficial? What about sincerity? I know it's about being considerate of others' feelings, but I still don't really like it.
日本の建前と本音という概念は、僕にとって、互いに嘘をついてるだけだと思う。表面的なものだけじゃない？本当は？気持ちを傷つけないためと分かってても、やっぱりあまり好きじゃない。
