Armed society makes for a polite society. You are more willing to be friendly if every social action is a potentially deadly interaction.

Americans suffer from such a verbal diarrhea, honestly

It's true, the helping part is true to a certain extent, maybe it's becoming less common because shitty people take advantage of good will.

That's because most of the time it's not genuine. Getting actual real American friends is hard.

Its not hard the issue is that you completely misunderstand who actually is your friend. Just because we talk to you and are nice doesn't mean that we are friends, just associates.

I'm Dutch. I have a second house in Spain Mike. But sure we'll have some tapas.

>>72738035
Only if you appear non-threatening.

It's because if we stop talking we will begin to question whether or not we exist. Talking is the only way to reassure ourselves of this.
>>
>>72741315
No, that's because you don't understand the meaning of acquaintances.

For people who claim to understand American culture, you guys sure don't know much.

Same in Turkey.

I really like it desu, that doesn't happen here and it depresses me.

You can't talk to strangers here. I saw an old man waiting for a bus and he tried to make chat with a woman there and her face literally became so disgusted and she got up walked away and said "eugh fuck off creep".

How sad is that... really

are Europeans really this autistic they can't talk to people they haven't analyzed in depth.

Yes, although to you Europeans it may seem "Fake" because no one ever talks but it's just the culture here to be nice.

No that depends on where you live. Country folk(rural areas) and as open and friendly as can be. City dwellers can be very cold and dismissive.

Reminds me of one summer I was working as a sever at a restaurant that's like chipotle (in which the server makes your food in front on you as you say what you want) and this guy with an English accent starts ordering and I just stood there blushing profusely, cause I was so startled and I have a habit of blushing when nervous. He looked at me strangely then I proceeded to make his order very nervously and spilled spaghetti while ringing him up. My hands were shaking as I gave him his change, why am I like this?

Dunno why you think I'm delusional. I've driven from NY to California and worked in France and Germany (traveling to neighboring countries). The typical working European looks way better than 99% of this country, the only people that can compete are people from hip areas like Williamsburg queens, Richmond, parts of LA. Otherwise an american making 100k a year still looks dirt poor in fashion sense and body maintenance

Did you know laughter is a stress response? There's no other purpose, yet we do it anyway. Talking to strangers cuts the tension and awkwardness of silence. It doesn't matter what the topic is. Some people feel the need to interact with others so they can form a bond.

New england can be iffy. It depends usually on how developed the town is. In rural areas you depend on your neighbors almost. Say you need gas, oil, sugar, whatever. You get to know your neighbors because you rely on them almost.

In more urban environments you can drive to a wallmart or whatever.

There are a lot of misconceptions about people that live in cities inn this thread. Really showing the demographics of this site. Not at all surprised by this just didn't think I'd see it glaringly show up in such a mundane conversation.

People in cities do talk and interact with each other and know their neighbors. The rude, cold, distant urbanite is a meme. Maybe while people are commuting to and from work or school but it's not like that at any other time.

Yes we could run to a close by store and pick up our own sugar but plenty of people still borrow sugar, oil, tools, time and space from their neighbors when they're in a pinch.

When something happens in my neighborhood we all keep an eye out for each other.
