Yes, I'm aware of this.  However, I think many Japanese( except of me:-) 
have much ability of this kind, haven't they?

Although you may not know (sorry), I think there are no "ishin denshin" 
in Japanese society.  Ironically, this is my view, there are
much of guess to meditate how he/she could accept my proposal( or
something like that we want to do), or what he/she want to let me to do......
These processes are carried out without any words, only in his/her mind.

Of course, sometimes, we fail to pull out the wright conclusion, in
this case, the relation between me and him/her could be broken.  This
is the real process which is called as "ishin denshin" in Japanese
society.  This is so much diffferent process from you ?  
But, this is only my own observation into my mind.  Please
comment this 				--->all.

So, you became very desperate to understand Japanese. :-)

How do you think why Japanese are so different, or why it is very
difficult for you to understand Japanese ?

I think, Japanese are NOT so different, in the essential points of view,
such as what kind of people you admire, what kind of people you would
like to be, something like that, from any other nations.
I believe humans have some common intrinsic values all over the world.
Can you ?
