The Silent Swede or Why Swedes Don't Talk To Strangers
Manage episode 302688407 series 2965465
If you are visiting Sweden your first impression of us Swedes might be that we are unfriendly, quiet, and quite distant, and you will be partly right. Today I want to talk about why we can seem so unfriendly and quiet, why we think the way we think about talking to people we don't know, personal space, and small talk.
I will also share some tips for those of you that want to get to know us a little better, and why I think it is worth doing so. I will explain some of the unwritten laws that exist for example when standing in line, or taking public transportations.
I hope this will make it easier for you to understand us Swedes and why we don't talk to strangers.
