3 Reasons Why It’s so HARD to Make Friends in Sweden 🇸🇪

View Comments

• I hate self-centred people who never have the vision or empathy for others

  • Yup, couldn't b more agree abt it, buddy

  • Did you watch the video?

  • We Swedes are not self centered, it's literally the opposite. We don't disturb others because we value the time and personal space of others, and don't want to be a nuisance to them!

    Sure it can have many side effects like she mentioned in this video, but it has nothing to do with being self centered!

  • That's sweden for you

  • ​@warlord95Sweden yes you are. If someone falls on the bus 90% of people won't even bat an eye. It's all about saving your own skin and making sure you're not "weird". Swedes are cold and unempathetic but love pretending like they care by talking about it

• Vancouver, Canada is the same. It’s sad. I’m glad I moved to a friendlier place.

  • I have heard that - it's said to be very cliquey. True?

  • Similar to the Seattle Freeze in the U.S.

  • @@DatingBeyondBordersYup , Canada is so big that the city culture’s between Van , TORONTO, and MTL are so different.
    Would be great to see an episode about it

• That US thing is not true . Im a Brit truck driver ive tried to make friends on my nights out in numerous cities . Most places are weird and unfriendly .

  • I think at night, most Americans feel on edge; they might think you’re a serial killer or something. It’s easier to make friends when the sun is out.

  • Transient work + man = possible criminal with imbedded alibi

• canada is pretty much the same,maybe not the extent of Scandinavian but it’s getting there,

• Glad to hear that Scandinavia doesn't have EVERYTHING figured out.

  • Well, Sweden definitely doesn't have immigration figures out

  • @@RobotReglol. It’s still a million times better than shithole USA. Honestly, it’s not even a comparison. I have friends who lived in both countries. The only issue were the high taxes and prices.

  • Sweden never had everything figured out. It's just how the Swedes promoted themselves to the world. But it's becoming apparent the country is full of flows.

• Have a wonderful weekend, Marina! Wishing you a happy Saturday ❤

• Great! I love Sweden, just mind your own business. Too bad Sweden is now unsafe, I would love to spend some time in Sweden.

  • Sweden has a lower crime rate per capita than Canada, so unless you're planning on spending on spending time in literally the poorest neighbourhoods in Stockholm or Malmö(Where there is literally nothing to see for a tourist such as yourself), you should be fine.

• Might be hard to become friends but they are nice and friendly. I’m Brazilian and we make friends very easily, but that can bring you annoying issues. For example, they ask you for favors all the time, no boundaries and some people might not be real friends, just hang out people.

  • Você com certeza é carioca, pq o carioca que é assim.

  • @@mirrorint1770 conheço gente do Brasil inteiro, São Paulo, Rio, Bahia, Rio Grande do Sul… tudo igual. E eu não sou carioca.

  • @@tiagoshade
    E todos eles te pedem favor o tempo todo?!
    Então , ou vc é muito rico e eles muito pobres ou você é muito mentiroso.
    É óbvio que não é verdade que te pedem favor o tempo todo então tá claro que vc só está querendo meter o pau nos brasileiros por carência de aproximação de gente chata de fora do Brasil.
    Complexo de vira-latas em pleno 2023.
    Shame on you.

  • Go to Curitiba and you'll feel as if you were in a Scandinavian country.....bleeping awful.

  • @@louiseleite3866 not even close. Brazilians will always be Brazilians. The most not open culture in Brazil is still very wide open compared to anything in Europe.

• Sound like I just discovered the place I have been looking for all my life. Sounds like heaven for introverts

  • Yea, if you're not introverted you will be 😅

• That's why northern Europe is great.
