Honne (本音) refers to a person's true thoughts, feelings, and desires. These are often kept private or only shared with close friends or family.

Tatemae (建前), on the other hand, refers to the facade or public behavior one adopts in social interactions. It reflects what is considered socially appropriate or polite, even if it contradicts one's true feeling.

Japanese ppl are so good at living The balance between 「tatemae」 and 「honne」 is deeply ingrained in Japanese culture and allows people to navigate complex social situations while preserving harmony and respect for others
