What habits or practies have you adopted from cultures besides your own? - eviltoast

For example, I’m a white Jewish guy but I’ve adopted the Japanese practice of keeping dedicated house slippers at the front door.

    I have a really hard time with it because it seems so non-spontaneous. What even is the point of discussing things without disagreement?

    I see these conversations that are just people agreeing with each other and I just don’t get it. I don’t want to be a part of it.

    But I don’t want to be alone.

      Err, I don’t see a point in disagreeing for the sake of it - I have a similar problem to you though. I get awkward or silent when I don’t have anything original, new or even interesting to say, like you are uncomfortable with ‘agreement’.

        No I don’t disagree for the sake of it. Most conversations I agree with … but I don’t say it. It’s when I disagree genuinely, that I speak up.
