Mianzi is far from being Chinese. I suffer from it, and I'm sure a vast majority of people do too. It's probably a core issue in adult relationships where you exchange responsibilities for survival, thus often want to appear on top of whatever from the start to avoid looking dumb and stay relevant. Which means if you can't solve the issue .. you have to crack that false image. Social backpedaling is costly.
