Honestly, this “coldness” is why I’ll move there. I like to have my personal space and have a small friend circle. Perfect for me. Here in Hungary everyone is in everyones business, and it always bothered me. I also like the literal cold, I hate everything over 25 degrees 😅😅

im a bit nervous that i wont make friends though because i am so introverted!

I just came back from a few weeks in Norway. I talked to a lot of people(everyday people that are not involved in the tourist industry). Everyone I met was friendly , engaging, and asking questions about my travels and life. I loved the country and the people.

Please make a video of real native Norwegian or Scandinavian people mentality in normal life. These are stereotypes that are found everywhere. I like to know more deeper.

i don't think norwegians are cold، they respect for privacy. In fact, human beings have meaning in society And norwegians understand the meaning of society very well. I love Norway and I consider myself part of Norway And I hope to go there one day.❤❤❤😊

Basically why I love Norway and Norwegians! 😊 I should've been born there! There's been a mistake! 😀 Hope to get back one day! 🙂

I used to say that 🤣🤣

My mother is Norwegian and her side has a stoic, yet placid personality. I visited Norway and saw my “family” everywhere! I saw my family names (Moen, solberg, haakenson,Olson) everywhere! I just couldn’t afford to live there! Prices are off the charts. That’s what was saddening. And sadly-there’s coldness in my family-proneness to being easily offended that I wish was not there. I honestly envy the Italian culture where they can yell and scream at each other and the next day they’re Hugging. Of course I relate to Scandinavians bc I’m 70% …but wish we could be more open.

My mother is Norwegian and dad was from Sicily. Thank God for my dad's blood. I think too much of one half or the other would be overwhelming.

I have one friend who was living in Italy for 3 years. Now she lives in Sweden. She tells me that when she was in Italy although you see many fuuny warm people but when you need help mostly they don't help you or even don't like to stop and listen to you. She also said in Italy you can find somebody to become your friend more easier than Sweden but even those friends are not very kind and helpful with you. They are very selfish and can be arrogant. She says most people in Sweden are kind and helpful and much more polite than Italians. Sorry I don't want to generalize all Italians. ❣️

I’m Norwegian American and when visiting in Norway, I recall hiking in the mountains. I would see a stranger in the middle of nowhere and there was no eye contact or words spoken! Lol. I realized it wasn’t rudeness but a cultural difference. They hike to get away from people.

veldig interessant 😊

@@prebensnorwegiancommunity7520 I have not. I planned 3 years ago to come on your independence day so I can see traditional costumes and food but it didn't work out, then covid 19 struck and we can't go anywhere for now. Soon, I hope.

I would breakdown in Norway. I moved from Brazil to the eua, and am already suffering. I want people arriving at my house unexpectedly. I feel offended if my friends ask permission to open my fridge. It is all about connection.

I went on a 3 day minicruise from the netherlands to norway, kristiansand to be exact and we stayed there for 4 hours and the People there where not cold at all. In the restaurants and the supermarket i was grerted warmly and they where very chatty. It remindef me of us dutch People, they where kind and warm but straight forward and direct. On the way back i met some lovely norwegian truckers and i learned alot from them. I would like to go back asap! Love from the netherlands

My dream country! 🛤♥️

Well, I'm like that too. I'm an introvert and I don't talk to people unless they talk to me or if we're already friends/acquaintances. And I like my space.

Heisann fra Brasil !!!

Yes

Yes, they are, a lot.

As a Norwegian, what do you think about Norway?

A good country for introverts

norwegian culture is mainly just "dont worry be happy"

I would rather say ... that Norwegian are reserved, honest and straightforward but not cold people. 🙃 Once they get to know you better and feels comfortable with you, they’re bit talkative and likes to talk about diff. cultures, lifestyle and weather. 😁 Just base on my experienced! 😆

There’s something called basic manners

I am more phlegmatic kind of person,I keep it balanced. There is always room for a good laugh and a good moment for silence. To my experience Norwegians seem very passive aggressive and with some deep issues,scared to show any emotions and depended on social opinion.Also very narrow-minded,didn't expect it frankly saying from them. As everything on the planet is dualistic,they do have "pluses" as well.They are very disciplined, productive and hardworking people as you noticed on their economics. They know how to manage things. P.S. Really bad option for immigration for thus who want to immigrate. As for traveling especially hiking -great place.

Stoic

Will you please get to know me

Yes they are. Until they are drunk. Then they will joke and sleep with you. Until they turn sober, and they stop talking to you again.

No they are people who are cold :))))

What I most see here in KZread are people who already live for 2 or 3 years in Norway and even speaking the language they can’t make friendship because of this so called “coldness” of norwegian people. They just won’t allow you to get any closer if you are a foreigner”. Norway 🇳🇴 is so amazingly beautiful but I couldn’t live in a placr like that..specially after hearing the Barnevernet rules . Just no.

Well,at least they are selfish ppl,and won't lie to you, and if you interested in social skills maybe you keep your eye for another country(Hungary or Slovakia for example?)

Sounds depressing.

I had a very bad experience with one Norwegian guy in Hamad International Airport.My 3 years old toddler went to his daughter to play and he yell on my boy . Till today I don’t understand why??? He was the first Norwegian I encountered. After that when someone says they are Norwegian I literally want to punch . Though I shouldn’t generalize everyone. They said norway is really good on child welfare part but do they encourage such insane behavior…

I have lived in Norway for 10 years, and i do not find any real friend til now. 🫥
