In my opinion, caring so much about the opinions of others is reactive, submissive and weak. I could never like like that. Personal integrity is far more important than keeping up with Joneses. Japanese society seems batshit crazy, what with all the obsession on never losing face, committing suicide after making a mistake, working until you collapse, always bowing to "superiors" and kissing ass, even changing your grammar to please other people according to some byzantine rank system, etc. How can they live like that? Hell, Sweden has those tendencies too but we are pretty much libertine anarchists compared to Japan.
