@joccu I didn't really get that joke

@Sleepy Owl that is from a comic book called finnish nightmares

 

Finland is often considered to be a nation of introverts, and the Finnish people are usually the first to make fun of themselves about it. "An introverted Finn looks at his shoes when talking to you," goes a popular Finnish joke about their personality types. "An extroverted Finn looks at your shoes.”

You don't need to be from The Land of the Midnight Sun, however, to appreciate Finnish Nightmares, a series of funny comics created by Finnish artist Karoliina Korhonen. After all, who doesn't feel at least a tiny bit of social anxiety when standing in an elevator with a stranger? Or what about that awkward moment when you accidentally touch the salesperson while collecting your change? A real horror story for the anti-social Finn.

 

that example was like why that person was smiling at me? do I look funny? or is something wrong with the way I look.  

 

 

 

A fascinating look at Nordic culture, globe trotters and armchair travelers alike will enjoy this insider's glimpse into the local life and habits of Finland. With a charming and quirky universality, there is an awkward and laughable situation that everyone can relate to in Finnish Nightmares.

Hey there @Ameera Ali @sadthe1st, and @Jillia! Hi @joccu, @mirmz, @Sleepy Owl, and @partyon! And hello to anyone I missed.  

 

@joccu, I'd very much like to read that comic book. 

 

[Sleepy Owl]

Hey there @MayanEcho  

 

@joccu that's interesting, I am gonna check out the comic. But how true is that a lot of Finnish people are introverts?

@Sleepy Owl  well there is introverts but I don´t know how many.  I don´t know if they have ever made a study how many introverts or etxtrovert there are in finland

 

So is the stereotype of Finns being introverts based on culture or personality? The truth is most likely both. While some Finns appear to be shy, socially anxious, or unfriendly to foreigners, the reality is that you will ultimately find different types of people in Finland, just like any other country. Being shy isn’t necessarily considered a negative trait in Finland and silence is considered a healthy time for thoughtfulness and reflection.

 

Of course, as with all stereotypes, this does not apply to everyone. In fact, many Finns, particularly older people, enjoy engaging with strangers.

 

It may come as a surprise for visitors when finding out that even the shyest Finns have no hang-ups about nudity and will happily strip off their clothes in front of strangers at a swimming pool or sauna. Strangely, while small talk is discouraged in Finland, particularly in the workplace, the sauna is often the only place where Finns really open up to one another and engage in small talk. It is even common practice for some workplaces to have a communal sauna once a week for colleagues to socialise. In other words, Finns do not dislike talking. They simply choose the time and place to do it carefully.

 

An introverted person will most likely feel at home in Finland and a socially anxious person will feel even more comfortable. But that doesn’t mean that an extroverted person won’t find new friends or a good time in Finland either. Like all nations, Finland is made up of a mixed bag of people who don’t fit into any one stereotype.

 

@MayanEcho i looked it up.  at least amazon is selling the book. 

then i found this website.

When you have something as spectacular as the Northern Lights as normal fare, you wouldn’t need to say much. .  I think Finns are comfortable with quiet.  And I never enjoyed small talk anyway.  It’s like talking just for the sake of talking and if you really dissect it, it means nothing in the big scheme of things except to fill the silence?

@Ameera Ali  Can you put do a gif on  Mr Queen finding his or her ____ no longer "attached" when both she and her royal maid bent down to check?   (I need to go the Eng Sub soooooon)   Could hear Zoppa's voice. 
@partyon  Will Zoppa's voice be around throughout the whole drama - asking for 2nd time?

I like that line of yours @joccu  Thanks for sharing an interesting insight of your people.  I guess this applies to everyone everywhere BUT here, people generally like to engage in small ,even at workplace, yours are preferred to be at communal sauna!  Wow!
