• Small talk is always about weather, holidays, sports and current events. Even in Canada 🇨🇦

  • it is like that in every country. Thats why its called small talk. I completely agree with you.

  • Im canadian and thats exactly how it is, but as soon as you move to another country or go for a visit you see when people ask how you are they truly mean it and they want to share their stories and experiences with you as well not just a polite ice breaker but a way to build connections

  • Canadians are the most shallow and insincere people

• Woah, I’m not even Norwegian and I do this often 😂😂

• Marina is back in Norway and Scandinavia again! I look forward to your travel vlogs. Takk!

  • Many videos to come!

• That’s what I like about Germany. If you only talk about safe stuff that’s how deep your friendship is going to get. If you open up that’s how you go from acquaintance to friend

  • I m Ukrainian and a war refugee. Now i live now in Switzerland. And here German women are very open to make friends. A 70 years old German lady invited me spazieren in the woods and the first thing she said to me was: my father didn't kill your people during WWII. This was a perfect talk starter 😄

  • ​@@gannaglobina6509oh that's cute

  • @@gannaglobina6509 lmao

  • @@gannaglobina6509 the she stopped talking or continued the story?

  • ​@@Abdullah_Al_SaudThen she got laid

• Small talk is for people with way to much free time. Deep talks/discussions I'll have with my friends or people I vibe with. If I don't want to talk to someone, they'll get a nice little weather update

  • I prefer people don’t talk if they are going to talk about the weather. I already have an app with detailed AND accurate info.

  • You won't do well in South Africa 😊people talk to each other, they smile. I think it's the Sun ☀

• But that’s just a behaviour with people you don’t want to be friends with or just at initial contact and then go into deeper conversations. Scandinavians actually (generally) hate small talk and meaningless conversations and will avoid those people who do it all the time like this girl clearly admits

• No matter the nation and culture people today are not as social as they were even a decade or more ago. Instead, just as we are at this very moment, we are more social in social media outlets than we are in person.
  Of course, there are exceptions.

  • You really think things were very social when people lost their homes after the 2008 collapse of the economy? When the 'war on terror' was still in full swing, that was when we were more social?

  • @@MPostma72

    Yes.
    Because again, we weren’t relying on social media outlets as much, many had yet to transition over. It was Six Degrees, a platform created in 1997 that started the social media revolution. It was nowhere near the level what the iPhone and other devices has become.
    Terror has always existed in societies, some more relevant than others.
    Every generation throughout history has witnessed terror, not only from war, but from other circumstances.

• I’m kind of like the Norwegians. I don’t mind people talking about the weather with me, but when they start talking about their problems and other personal stuff, I don’t say anything back.

  • Haha. Come over and try living here. You’ll see😂

  • Agree - it’s awkward and shows a lack of social skills. Unless they’re in dire acute need of help, you don’t spill all your tea to a stranger.

  • Exactly. I hate small talk in America and they dump their personal info to a stranger. It makes me uncomfortable and why trauma dump on someone you don't know?

  • Because americans are supposed to be friendly and you can use that as therapy plus they arent close to family/confiding in family members

  • You're rude

• You are not our Tribe, until you become our Tribe.

  Until then keep your problems to yourself, when you are my Tribe your problems are our problems, and we will solv all our problems together.

• Why do people want to have meaningful convo with irrelevant random people you will never see again?
