Regarding self-praise

from Hatena2009-01-12

I don’t know if it is “Japanese people are” or “East Asians are” or “people under the influence of Confucianism culture”, but there is a strong tendency to dislike self-praise and act of promoting oneself. I wonder if that is the cause of the “the nail that sticks out gets hammered in” trend.

• Act of promoting oneself - self-branding
  • self-recommendation
