I think that kind of resilience is learned? I'm much more patient with some things than others, depending on the feedback I got... idk, early in life? Or the examples my parents set? Oh, that is fascinating and a really good point. I wonder if I'm less confident with cooking partly because it's like, failing at cooking means being unfeminine, a bad wife, etc.? (Nobody gives me a hard time if I do screw something up, my partner couldn't care less, but you know.)
The context sensitivity of Chinese is *extremely challenging*. Too too too true.
Glad you liked the photos! Yeah--some Koreans in Japan adopt Japanese names officially, others have their Korean names on the paperwork but use Japanese names in daily life for convenience/safety. It interests me.
