• I lived in Goteborg for 9 months in 1999. Being Australian; we are such social people. I felt like I was losing my mind.

  • Pffff emancipation makes family live difficult and free sex brings scares in emotions A sexual contact releases a hormone oxytocine and vasopressine between the 2 person’s that normally bind this 2 person’s together. So sexual relationships whit out can not be healthy . It becomes after very difficult to love another partner.

  • @leob4403 Lol😂😂😂

  • ​​​@@SRBOMBONICA86well atleast she retained her ability to speak in some form. Us swedes are known for taking pride in robbing people of their oral skills. There are children that were lost in the wild and grew up in wolf packs, they lost their concept of language, all they did was sniff and bark and snarl. Maybe you heard of Mowgli in the Jungle Book?

  • ​@@SRBOMBONICA86- Wow! Thats why I like Greeks 🇬🇷

  • My friend studied in uppsala for 2 years ,she forgot alnost how to talk,NO ONE spoke to her ,she was stuttering when she came back home to Serbia,crazy ,Sweden is scary to me,if they weren't rich they would be considered the scariest and least popular countries

• I’ve been living in Sweden (Stockholm) for more than 8 years now, and I’ve made only one Swedish friend at gym and we meet once per year…I was an extrovert and happy person and Sweden turned me to an introvert and unhappy…

  • @@leob4403 🤣🤣🤣

  • ​@@TonyDracononce per year is actually a lot by swedish standards. Every 5 years is the standard here even among siblings

  • meet once per year? lolol

  • This was really sad to read. Hope you are doing alright. ❤ Is it really that bad? Curious as will be travelling there soon.

  • People have said that about Seattle after they moved here.

• Big towns are so anonymous and full of people who don’t talk. I’m from Scotland, we speak to anyone and everyone, at bus stops , in shops, in cafes, bars, anywhere. I moved to London and did that, talking at bus stops to the people who are regularly there every day. They all look at you as if you’re crazy! As no one talks to anyone unless they’re introduced in another way by another. So no one spoke to me until I went to college, it took about 2yrs to make a few friends in London.
  I advise, just talk to everyone! One good person is all you need, then the domino effect will come after

  • I love the scots!!!!

  • Big cities in my country Brazil arent like that Thank God

  • Do you? Because I’m in England and all the expats like me told me that Scotland is actually worse than England ☹️
    I’m confused I’m engaged to a Brit and is been so hard getting girl friends here 😞

  • God bless Scotland, one if the best people I ever met. I was there for my studies in 2015. Alba !

• Seattle was largely settled by Scandinavians (Norwegians and Swedes) and the result is the so-called "Seattle Freeze". I'm genetically Swedish and have lived in Seattle most my life. I have pretty much no friends since the few I had have died. I like to be alone so that's okay. Nothing personal, it's just Seattle. Sweden sounds very comfortable to me.

  • Yes, Swedes are introverts and very reserved on top of that so if you're an intro you get along just fine...

  • If that is your choice.

  • @@user-lr9mo9my6jseattle area crime is hell.

• I was in Copenhagen for 3 days and it was the most depressing 3 days in decades if not ever.

  • Why was that?

  • Lol so where do you live?

• When life gets too easy and you dont struggle for basics, connections get shallower. This is a fact. People bond over shared struggles and the search for meaning through experiences where they get to experience each other in their most raw form of human or even the animal essense of the human. When we make life too easy, we make life shallow. When we make like too secure we become even more risk averse and avoid getting out of our confort zone even more. And outside that zone is where all the new connections and growth opportunities lie. I lived in Germany for 7 yrs and I never felt lonelier. Germans were so pathologically cold, closed off and afraid of anything new and different. They can have a functioning system, but a running train doesnt mean its taking the passangers to a good destination.

  • 👌🏻

  • @@tricatame7427 I am sorry for you... but this hugging of foreigners is very weird for us. 2 Portugal girls started conversation with me in a train and kissed me good bye
    ... at the platform... was weird for me. But we start hugging our friends and family members now. We even learned the hugging and kissing... there is progress. 😉

  • @@AltIng9154 no dude. I lived in germany for almost a decade. Was part of a verein too. And i did break that barrier with some even. So they even loved talking to me because i am intellectually pretty competent. But, what did i get out of it? I was soooooo bored underwhelmed and ready to ditch. They were still soo cold. No human warmth. No hug no touch that didnt feel anxious and afraid. I was just soooo bored with their seriousness the linear left brain thinking. It always felt like talking to robots, lacking affect and sensual input. They were just not capable. At the end of the day, every meeting felt like a business meeting, or exchanging information and not connecting on a deeper emotional level. Sure, us Meditarranean folk can be pretty loud and annoying, but we bring to the table things Northern Europeans severely lack.

  • ... but Swedes, Norwegians, Finns, Danish... all the same. Northern Germans always fear to" interfear "😊into someones business. It takes time to get into contact. Hobbies could be helpful. We have loads of clubs, Vereine for everything. If I were a single, I would join a hiking group. If you do that...... do walking aside... not talking much! ... after a while there will be a conversation. 😊 The only proper hiking gear, the best and only shoes... we take everything seriously... 😊 Waiting, be patient... . Important! If you are invited to someones home... it is meant this way! To think it is a fake invitation, due to politeness ... is a mistake you can't repair.

  • Good analysis.

• This channel went from funny skits to genuine sociological analysis. Absolutely love it.

  • This is growing up for most people. All funny and carefree in our younger years and as we get older we.get more serious.

  • @@DatingBeyondBorders that's a good goal :)

  • Best compliment. This is the goal 😁

• Omg as a Finn i am so surprised that Swedes were the ones who had it worst! Like in Finland we have jokes about how Swedes are so freespirited and talkative since we think that we are noting like that ourselves. I am happily surprised, wefinally havesomething vetter than Sweden

  • @@butterflies655 in what way?

  • ​@@leob4403No it is not.

  • No Finland is even worse than this

• Funny, in Brazil we are just the opposite, depression gets slapped in the butt every day and night. But corruption is rampant. If we had the education system, health care, transport and other basic needs Sweden has, Brazil would be the heaven on earth. Well, it's hard to understand this life.

  • @@alexandrakis2731 , we can't generalize, but in general people in tropical countries tend to be more open and friendly because we spend most of the year outside and not so inside ourselves, more closed because of the often bad climate as in colder countries. There are channels of Nordic people living here in Brazil that would be "almost unrecognizable" by their compatriots for their behavior. Example: Channel "Swedish Gringo". It's not only for the climate, it's because they also meet local people who are the opposite and so they feel more comfortable to act as maybe they would like, but would be seen as an "ET" in their countries.

  • ​@@nicholasnovak4it's not only that ,its in the genetics

  • I am Brazilian, too, and you idealize some countries as many of our compatriots.

  • ​@@nicholasnovak4definitely

  • It's mostly down to geography and climate that shapes a culture and people

• As a immigrant in Canada unfortunately I can share the same experience. I spent the last 14 years here trying to make friends and I had no more than two friends and sometimes it feels that I am the only one with a genuine interest in how they are doing. Locals don’t like doing friendships with immigrants and immigrants are creating friendships only in their own national communities. Toronto is awful place for creating and keeping friendships. Sometimes I feel that this aspect of my life is totally damaged because of my immigration.

  • I immigrated to the US more than 40 years ago. It is harder to make friends in bigger cities but it is not impossible. I used to live in the Washington DC area. Now I live in a smaller city. The good thing about living in a bigger city is that there are a variety of people with different backgrounds, so you have many choices and opportunities. There are also more social events (seminars, gatherings, summits, classes, workshops, etc) to chose from. My friends are not all from my culture or even my age group and I think in my case that has been very helpful to get me out of my own shell. I wish you the best!

  • I feel the same about living for 10 years now in Berlin

  • It’s the same for people growing up there, it’s awful. Especially if you leave and come back, Canada is notoriously brutal , but Vancouver takes the cake on this.

  • All big cities are like that ! People these days are more cautious.

  • Toronto is a place for newcomers. If you join groups for newcomers you should be fine. There is no one culture there - you can find ppl from everywhere - those who have arrived recently and those who have been there for many years. Honestly- Canada is not known for this.
