Culture shock, sure, but the whole “Nordic model” is just a bit… Shit, honestly.
The whole country (that I have seen so far) feels like “Pleasantville”, but woke, and uber-modern, rather than 1950s Americana…
And the Turks. The fucking Turks here. Eugh…
Their rudeness seems more intentional than I would say it seems to be with more… “Native” Swedes.
Gonna be interesting learning to survive here. As a very “social” person, I… Certainly have some adjusting to do.
The strange mix of ultra-conformity and extreme cultural introvertedness is… A vibe. I’ll say that much.
Customer service? Ha…
Politically..? Yeah. Though I think culturally I vibe with the French more than I do here…
I don’t fit this (introverted, antisocial, unhelpful, atomized) model of living/doing things. It’s just not me…
I’m not sure where I fit, though.
My ex tells me I should go to Slovenia (of all places) or Ireland, next, lol.
Ireland I vibe. Not sure about Slovenia though…
Regardless of place, I'd say you're better off in rural areas than cities reading your personality type.
There's definitely going to be cultures you gel to more but living in a smaller community, outdoors a lot and having people you can easily talk to compared to the more standoffish urban living seems like it suits you more.
What you describe just sounds like city life and honestly not too far removed how things are here in The Swamp.
Ireland is probably an even worse woke hellhole than Sweden.
