Hullo. Jag är inte svensk men jag har bott har och jobbar här för typ 5+ år.

Jag är inte 100% säker vad är Svensk Kultur. Det känns som vänlig västeuropeist men folk är mer isolerat. Det är mycket lättare att våra ensam och göra vad jag vill och bli bekavm . Social circles är lite mer stel (rigid??). Folk kommer inte stör nån även om det är nånting att både folk skulle gillar.

There is a sort of "The responsible group should have done/do X" but that isn't just in Sweden, its like that over all of europe or in countries that have had it good for a good number for years. I think we as a populace has focused too much on ourselves (I know, work is hard and tiring and I just want to enjoy my few hours before the rat race again) and not what we want as a whole (once again not just Swedes).

Sorry I switched to English because I am fuuuuuuccckkking trash despite living here for so long.

I do love it here, just to be clear. Everywhere has pros and cons. I do think it takes a lot more to really break past a Swede's "guard" but when you do and become close it really is wonderful and the effort put it is given back throughout the friendship. However I understand that others might find it hard/cold.

Sorry again, this was probably not insightful or helpful at all but thats just who I am as a person
