Well, 十人十色 I guess

I can also say from personal experience that for some bizarre reason, some Japanese seem to go into pronoun overdrive only when they are talking to me.
It's strange because the pronouns are obviously not needed, and they would obviously not use them with another Japanese.
The other day someone actually used 私 in every sentence.
I was in shock lol

Anyway, I hope you don't mind but I have a little correction on your English.
(Or rather, not correction, but something for you to take note of)

Using the word "Look" like this makes you sound quite rude, which I am sure you don't mean to do.
It makes it seem as though you are speaking down on me, despite the fact that I have tried to help you out.
But since you are not a native English speaker I'm hoping it's just a mistake because you don't know the feeling it can give.

(Any future English corrections I will just PM you )
