Yes, and don't resist any urges that feel strange to your upbringing. I mean, don't go murdering people, but if you find yourself more sexual. More exhibitionist. Maybe a light hint of a meaner streak, go explore it, preferably with your friends and family? In a safe controlled environment?

Don't hold yourself down trying to stick to Japanese norms, it's not going to work, you'll end up popping and you'll over compensate as a cartoon character.

As for the manipulation:

Learn how to whack people over the head to make them crumple and get really good at burying or sinking things, if you have to.

Remove people from your equation.

But that's Makai ethics and might be a bit much for you, dear.
