Dame da ne dame yo dame nano yo ~

Since I'm not good at Japanese yet, so in general I cannot upvote or comment on things I'm not sure of (and I don't downvote either), but if I already know or got assured, I will. I bookmark a lot of questions meanwhile to review later and upvote the useful answers and comments there too, once I got much better.
In my questions I highly rely on what natives and the people of authority state there first.
All your efforts are appreciated. Doumo arigatou gozaimashita.
And I hope I could also be of help to others.

I don't learn Japanese anymore actively but passively (enjoying video games and anime).
The Japanese themselves were a huge turn-off. They always treated me like an outsider "gaijin", and never felt before so much in life, ignored as if I don't exist. The coldest, most distant people I've ever seen.
So why care about people who don't care about you? I feel sorry for those who are fanatic about Japan.
