Yeah, I’ve definitely gotten looks for picking up bowls close to my face in the west. Normal for my household, but not normal elsewhere.
Even for not-chopstick dishes like soup or pasta or something, I just find it easier to hold the bowl close to my face, rather than having to lean forward so much over a table just to not make a mess. That shit is how people learn bad posture.
Western folks don’t usually hold the bowl and utensils so close to the face
