Why are Finns so antisocial? Is it abnormal to talk to each other in Finland?
>>
if you think not trying to make awkward "small talk" with everyone you meet outside is antisocial then yes
>>
>>67467592
Small talk isn't awkward, nothing wrong with being friendly

>>67467742
Again, there's nobody in America that will point a gun at your head and force you to have a conversation.
>>
>>67467742
In America we have this. It's called your personal bubble, but when social interaction is engaged, I.E communication, said bubble pops, and social skills come into play.

If you don't want to interact, you easily give them the look of "fuck off" and no harm no foul. Not complete sperg out about "forcing people into having a conversation" like this retarded snow gook thinks.

I personally find it to be a major nuisance when random people try to engage a conversation with me in public. It's a nuisance, it's disrespectful, intrusive behavior like this uneducated simian probably does on a daily basis >>67467840

Giving them a look is kinda assy, but most people within my age group just put on their headphones and pretend they're not listening. I can easily respect Finns if they respect each other's personal space like that, because you never know the person's mood or willingness to talk, and the simple act of just leaving people alone is in itself a sign of respect.

It's not that we don't value social interaction. It's more about respecting personal boundaries and the fact that people are usually busy when they're on and about. If you have a strol in the park during the summer and run into some chillaxing swedes you won't be a weirdo for striking up conversation. I guess our countries practice pretty diffrent forms of individualism.

I think we have the highest number of single households per capita as well. And we're unusually okay with that.

Wow, what a load bullshit.

In what planet are you living in? I was going to ask but I'm most certain you're from São Paulo, with that lifeless robotic personality of yours. All that carbon monoxide and lack of sunlight really took a toll on your neurons.
It's called human social interaction, more widely known as REAL LIFE, something you're probably unaware of, you know, when you talk to people, IN PERSON, in REAL TIME and not through a fucking computer screen.

Where I live people talk to each all the time, about anything, at anytime. Even when I'm in a bad mood I love when someone talks to me, it's always nice to meet someone new, and maybe even make a new friend.

I'm happy if Americans still behave like normal human beings and not like a bunch of drones. And yes, maybe if I was living in a frozen wasteland where the sun never shines I don't think I'd be willing to social with people either, but thankfully that's not the case for most of us.

Just wondering, how do finnish people make friends if they dont like talking to people they dont know.

I get that you know people through school and university but what happens if your friend from university meets your friends from your home town. Do they talk to everyone or just mainly talk to you 90% of the time after introductions are over?
>>

>but what happens if your friend from university meets your friends from your home town. Do they talk to everyone or just mainly talk to you 90% of the time after introductions are over?

To be completely fair this happens everywhere, it's super awkward when you go with a friend to a party or somewhere and he leaves you alone even if he's already introduced you to people.
>>
Well not having small talk with strangers is one thing but everyone standing at the bus stop in a line with 2 meters of personal space is quite autistic desu senpai

>>
>>67473830
Wouldnt they be strangers though? Even if your friend introduced you two and he left to go talk with other people. Would those 2 people talk?

It's actually a really nice thing and shows the goodness in America. Like how neighbors strike up a conversation, they come asking how you're doing etc. This is something you'd never see in Sweden or Finland. The sense of community and togetherness is on a whole different level in the US.

Sure you can try and see the negative side of it if you wish but it's still a good thing, though it's difficult to handle for us snowniggers
