>this horrifies and causes the european to commit suicide

Does stuff like this never happen in Europe?
Strangers never talk to each other? or joke around?

Not terribly uncommon in the U.S.

Holy shit. I thought you guys were going to try and post "nah people are friendly here too".

As >>79509084 said, it's not a particularly rare thing for people to go about their day being friendly to strangers just to make the day suck less. Hell, my friends and I sometimes play a game we call "cruising for waves".

So if I'm trying to walk on streets for some work related matter , go to a store to by me a dinner or just trying to get home because I have to take a shit real bad there is a high chance of encountering one of those arseholes "trying to make my day less shit" by making me late for a business meeting or by forcing me to clench my buttocks to hold diarrhoea?

>>79509774

Maybe owning guns isn't such a bad idea.
People should be able to defend themselves in such circumstance.

>>79508795
Extroverts are social parasites.

It is actually pretty common here in italy
I don't do it because im autistic but it is common

>>79508795
I live in an apartment block and the elevator is a daily struggle. There is this unwritten code here that you have to greet someone if you meet someone coming in or out of it. Nobody really want to. Then you have to say bye when they leave.

>Say hi, they don't answer back.
>Say hi hi too fast, they act like they didn't hear you.
>Take the elevator in silence, a person leaves and a nervous "bye" comes out.
etc

I have this struggle at work. Whenever I enter the cafetaria (it's rather small, maybe 8 people max sitting at 1 table) I have to wish they a good meal. It's so fucking silly

Or when you see someone you know from a distance and get eye contact, they walk towards you and is too far to greet.

I'm a pariah at work exactly because of this behaviour. Only after working here for 4 months I found out why they're all so fucking silly: it's a Christian organization, like 80% of my coworkers go to church

>>79510125

>>79510125
It's common courtesy towards your neighbors. We do it too, but it seem like you're doing it wrong. The first step is always eye constant. If the person doesn't give you eye contact, you don't greet them, otherwise it's like greeting a wall.

>>79510267
It's not socially accepted to be smug here. It's a moral law here saying "You shouldn't think you are something"

You're not to think you are anything special.
You're not to think you are as good as we are.
You're not to think you are smarter than we are.
You're not to imagine yourself better than we are.
You're not to think you know more than we do.
You're not to think you are more important than we are.
You're not to think you are good at anything.
You're not to laugh at us.
You're not to think anyone cares about you.
You're not to think you can teach us anything

When you go through feudalism, monarchy, totalitarism, fascism, communism and all that shit, you realize its better to keep to yourself

You should still greet them even if look seem like they dont want to talk to make them feel like cold unfriendly twats and reconsider their life

Today at work I was walking down a corridor, tinking about something, when I passed a middle-aged man
He shouts "GUTEN MORGEN" at me. I just mumble "morgen" without stopping
He then proceed to angry yell in german. I believe he didn't hear me and felt offended, I'm not really sure though. I just hope I won't see him again

Why are people like this? "WE NEED TO GREET EACH OTHER EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T KNOW EACH OTHER AND ARE GOING DIFFERENT WAYS"

>>79510521
i wonder how many of them have committed suicide when i replied to them

>>79510125

>tfw the nod comes out too weak and you're not really sure they noticed but it's too late to utter an actual greeting now

You should move to Finland. Nobody ever greets strangers unless they have some business with them. Home, office, elevator, hallway, anywhere.

It still drives me nuts when Germans & other euros say "bye" after sharing a 60 second elevator ride with you. Or enter a room full of strangers and greet the entire room. WTF?

>>79510551
>"WE NEED TO GREET EACH OTHER EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T KNOW EACH OTHER AND ARE GOING DIFFERENT WAYS"
I get some of the points introverts are making ITT as I am one too, but it's not about a ceremony or a ritual rather than that guy was trying to brighten up your day. He was actually wishing you a good morning. Some people mean it.

>>79510803
Well I spent all day thinking about the incident, so he failed his objective

>>79510738
Last year i came home after travelling around the world for a year and i were used to talking to strangers all the time. When i came home i had to adjust and downplay myself into a little cuck again, i'm serious.

Hello good friend Germany how are you today!

>>79510880
When I was in my 20s I used to absorb influences from more extroverted cultures the same way.

Nowadays even living abroad doesn't have much of an effect, I've gone full Assburger Pride and don't even want to change.

It doesn't affect me here, but nice try I guess.

>>79510950
From people I know, yes. You don't say hello to everyone you pass in the street and in corridors, do you?

Oh hi everyone in this thread. How are you?

>be me
>be with a friend having some beers on a terrace
>talk about many topics
>talk about how my father watches ancient aliens and that he buys their bullshit
>suddenly a stranger drinking alone starts talking to us about how aliens are real and other bullshit about china
>finish the beers asap and nope the fuck out

usually if some stranger starts talking to you he is a crazy or drunk

>>79508795

>>79511065
No, but i'm from the south so people greet me all the time. I just respond in kind without overthinking it. I don't really enjoy it but I understand they're just trying to be nice.

>>79511175
Yeah I see what you mean
I'll try to buy into their bullshit more next time

>>79510738
I agree with you but
>Or enter a room full of strangers and greet the entire room.
If it's a closed environment where it's supposed that you'll spend some time in the same company, it makes sense to acknowledge other people's presence as a way to low-key say you mean no harm
Random elevator ride is stupid, but doctor's waiting room or closed train compartment should require a greeting as common courtesy since the need for a conversation might arise later on and it would be rude not to have introduced yourself in some way
At least this is how I see it

when i hear a neighbor outside as i'm trying to get out of my apartment i usually wait a few minutes until they leave or go inside their apartment so i don't have to interact with them
