I've been here for three years and gave up on the deep self introspection not long after arriving. If it helps you, remember that you're not Japanese and never will be, nor will you ever be held to the same standards (although they're not particularly high - some of the "Japanese manners" I've witnessed here have been downright abhorrent). I've seen a few founders with that mindset who have done quite well for themselves here.
