Québec here. Why are americans so courteous, polite and talkative? It always strikes me when I visit the US (usually the north-east). They seem happier than where I live, or at least have a stronger sense of community.

So how are you enjoying your vacation

I'm not american.

Proof:

Je suis capable de parler français :^).

please stop using a proxy to try to make us look good, we don't need it

But I'm not. I genuinely think this.

Why would you make a thread about it

Because I want to discuss this. We're on Sup Forums.

>sense of community
This is such an American meme. Noone speaks of "communities" here. We hide from meeting our neighbors. It's the natural way, how God intended it.

We're courteous because we don't want to seem rude to foreigners

>It's the natural way, how God intended it.
Reminder that Jesus was a communist cuck

This, we don't greet or wave or say anything when we walk by. We drop what we are doing and run straight home if we see someone.

Sup Forums is for two things:

1) saying nothing but bad things about America and

2) generals where we discuss the weather in our local areas

because you're from quebec

>Noone speaks of "communities" here. We hide from meeting our neighbors.
This sounds more like a personal problem than Swedish culture.

No, it's deeply in-rooted in the Swedish soul.

No, it's definitely their culture

Uh no, Scandinavian culture is definitely collectivist but regular social interaction is a relatively rare thing

We may know our neighbors if they have children of similar age to our owns eg. but normalla people just may say "hi" to them if they know how they look like. In apartment buildings not necessary even greet.

There is actually this really awkward situation now when I just moved to a new place where the houses are conjoined with the neighbors, and me and my mom sat outside on the patio last night at the same time as our new neighbors but neither dared say hello and introduce ourselves, so we just both sat there sort of ease dropping to each others conversations pretending the other party just wasn't there. Now it will be always too late for introductions, too.
God I can't stand this social pressure.

They are happy to see you because you are not their neighbors. Anyone is better than that cunt next door who bitches and moans about you putting your garbage bins out the day before and denying parking to her gaggle of cunt friends when they drive their imported European cars over to her den of shit to smoke shitty artisan weed, fuck you Deborah!

Is Nordic autism genetic? If I marry a Nordic woman, will our children be incapable of functioning as normal people in public?

It's normal here, it's nice to be able to be alone even in public, no one's harassing you

But this is normal (here).
It's quite common people dying and laying for months, at times years, in their apartments because noone noticed them gone. It's our way of life, we live alone.

Nordic autism never ceases to amaze me.

You are capable of French walking?

>It's quite common people dying and laying for months, at times years, in their apartments because noone noticed them gone
This happens here too on occasion but it's much more rare

"Mind your own business" is basically our Golden Rule. I'd love a sense of community but then you'd have to deal and meet people.

what's that?

quite common here, people will start complaining about the smell in apartment buildings.

He's being obtuse

I don't belive it. I just don't.
I refuse to belive it.

Jesus

You have to understand it's deeply embedded in our culture. Our whole society is governed by the idea that each person should be able to be dependent on noone but themselves. Independency goes above all. It's why out mothers reject us as soon as breastfeeding is over, we don't have a sense of family either. Even in old viking times old people used to just literally jump of a cliff when they got too old and weak because it was considered shameful display to depend on the caring of others. That same mentality still exist.

Why are scabdis abd other northern euros so autistic.

I've never been to Canada but I always assumed they were the same way. I assumed it was just a North American cultural trait, since Mexicans also tend to be pretty polite in my experience.

your post gave me a feel

Any other country have TV shows with detailed instructions on how to handle common social situations such as hugging?

luckily you will be a minority in 20 years, you racist and autistic Swedes deserve to die out, Muslims are so much better than you

loogs breddy gay :D

jesus fucking christ no wonder you guys are getting steamrolled by snackbars

Now that number doesn't sound that bad. I don't think that much more % of Poles, Brasilians or whoever has at least one close friend. People think they have, but when they are in need it turns that they don't.
You just spawn questions and confusion for me.

Fucking hell
Is this why your suicide rates are so high?
Do you need a hug?

No, it isn't gay if the distance is 10 cm or more, as the picture clearly explains. Maybe you should watch the show so you can learn Pekka.

Where do you go in New Englamd? If it's Maine it's pretty much a hermit state where people forget that were even part of the U.S. For the rest of New England I'm guessing it's because of some values from the Puritans and Pilgrims that's somehow managed to survive up to the present day.

Quebec is culturally different from the rest of canada so I can't speak for the rest but judging from living here I feel like there's a difference.

Usually Maine, Vermont and New-Hampshire but I've been to the entire east-coast and Hawaii too.

>Do you need a hug?
N-no I am of stronk independent Nord that don't need nobody

How would you handle normies trying to annoy you or make you uncomfortable. Can't imagine you'd survive that

*hugs (You)*

Probably because we like people. Also most of northern new england is drunks or druggies or both.

Well this is the normie standard here.
Otherwise this is why we drink. Remember, we were just as alcoholic as Russia before we got stricter alcolaws. Now we drink just as much, but only on weekends and holidays. It is very shameful to drink even a light beer on a weekday. It is how it has to be, or we're Russia again.

Neat. Yeah the New England area explains the sense of community bit. I'm not sure about the part outside of the New England area because those places are you weird for me. I don't know why but whenever I think about the rest of the union I just imagine city goers who have ethical, moral, and mental problems. I know that's a terrible thing to say, but I can't help it. The smog must suffocate one's lungs and the lack of trees is just something queer.

>The smog must suffocate one's lungs
There's not any smog so much as there is haze. We haven't had real smog since the mid 80's

Oh yeah, I do admit though that we do have a problem with alcohol and drugs such as heroin like this user pointed out. So it's not like we're perfect too.

I once went to Massachusetts and went to one of the cities close to Boston. Something in the air just made it hard to breath and I was sweating terribly the whole time I was outside there. Maybe it could have just been the summer season, but without the trees I guess you can really feel the heat then.

>Maybe it could have just been the summer season
It was. Cities always have poorer air quality than rural(or even suburban) areas, but during summer everyone has their AC on full blast

I live in Bumfuck, Arkansas and even the cities here are like that

That's good to know

Why I do thank you then user for clearing up that confusion on my part. The heat can get irksome here too, but a fan can work or if you really want to be like Tom Sawyer you can just rest under a tree.
