Very interesting.

I wonder whether there is any difficulty to survive in Japan
because many people expect your way of thinking/action
to be according to Japan-side Conventional Wisdom.

e.g.:
In Japanese Conventional Wisdom,
beard should be limited to a certain people, such as University professors.
So I wonder in case you wore beard and you loved to,
you would have difficulty to get a job as salesperson,
or you would be rejected to have a credit card.
