This is a tip for my fellow CEmen and CEgals when they go to Japan

https://www.japan-talk.com/jt/new/why-you-should-never-shake-your-legs-in-Japan

It's seen a s a really bad manners, but no one will tell you that you are bothering them because doing so would also be bad manners. So just avoid doing it when you go to Japan

Man, I shake mine compulsively, and a lot harder than most people.

I literally don't know if I could stop for that long. >_<

Sounds like a them problem. And if they can't even be arsed to speak up about it, sounds like two them problems to my zero. Tough break.

Not sure, but while lax on say bullying or specifically sexual predators, they treat drug use and possession (even if it isn't related to drinking and driver or giving them to kids) as the worst kind of thing you can do:
https://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/movies/2000_pm_lord_unknown_tower_entei/pm_lord_unknown_tower_entei_noriko_sakai.html

Also reflecting their policies, despite anime being known for risqu elements, yeah PDA even in stories with romance tends to be seen as inappropriate. Even in shows with pervy humor (Dragon Ball or Dragon Ball Z).

While it is used poorly, I do think some of their rules do feel like virtue signaling. Go after things which aren't a problem, cause dealing with actual problems are more difficult.

You only do that during a funeral in Japan iirc. Otherwise you never do that during normal eating.

Here's a whole section on chopsticks for you to enjoy:
https://www.japan-talk.com/jt/new/10-golden-rules-for-japanese-chopstick-manners

To this day I can't hold my chopsticks properly because I feel like it cramps my hand and I naturally fall to a similar but not quite the same style as the proper way.

The best summation I get is they embrace the Vulcan way of life even before Star Trek and it's Vulcans were a thing.

This. Also doesn't help that I have RLS and for.me it's way worse when I'm anxious and I'm pretty anxious when surrounded with groups of people.

It's not that different here. If you saw a random person start shaking their legs on the street, you would think something is wrong with them.

Nvm, this is shaking your legs while seated. Like when you're tapping your knees to the tune of music or something. Nothing strange about that at all lol.

Dunno about soul but it could be possible that constant exposure to a source of blowing air at your face could make you sick.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_death

Fan death is a misconception that people have died as a result of running an electric fan in a closed room with no open windows. While the supposed mechanics of fan death are impossible given how electric fans operate, belief in fan death persisted to the mid-2000s in South Korea, and also to a lesser extent in Japan.

What if your balls are stuck to your leg? Also sometimes when stretching my legs it just starts shaking (guess it's due to reflexes?)
