The word profile is more familiar to you in Japanese than in English.

It's not exactly "too much", but I've noticed myself being much more polite when speaking Swedish/English and I have a habit to do a kind of half-bow when thanking people. It has actually only had good results so far, though, doesn't feel awkward either.
... But I once mindlessly took Japanese speaking patterns into Swedish, like doing little encouraging "yes" phrases while the other person spoke. I made sure not to let that become a habit after annoying the f out of my brother.
