One of the reasons is cultural: Swedish people maintain smaller social circles and require less social contact than people from warmer cultures. This is a generalization, and of course there will be exceptions to the rule, but anecdotally I have NEVER heard anything different. This includes expats who have lived in Sweden and Swedish people themselves. Two surveys, one by InterNations and HSBC Expat Explorer found Sweden to be one of the worst places to make friends: https://www.thelocal.se/20171223/why...ith-the-swedes.Both surveys questioned thousands of expats living around the world on a variety of topics relating to life in their new country, and this year 72 percent of Internations respondents said they found it tough to get to know the Swedes.
"We value the freedom of spending time alone, walking in the forest; there’s a big fascination with peace, harmony, nature, peace and quiet, rather than a pressure to always be doing lots of things with lots of different people," explains Sofi Tegsveden Deveaux
“In Sweden, it’s common to have this idea that people should be ‘självständig’; autonomous and independent, and able to do things without needing help from someone else. But that cuts back on opportunities for social contact.”
She contrasts this with the cultural norms in China and Iran, both places where she has spent a considerable amount of time. “People prefer to be together than to be alone there, and it’s very common for someone to take your hand as you cross the street or put their arm around you while talking – even people you’re not particularly close with,” she explains.
"We native Swedes struggle to make friends with each other too," says native Swede Sofi Tegsveden Deveaux. After leaving Sweden at 18, she returned several years later and remembers finding it difficult to meet new people
"I think less value is placed on having loads of people you can go and do things with. Swedish friendship involves deeper commitment; people you really trust, enjoy spending time with, and who are essential to your life, while Americans are much more likely to have a really broad group of people you sort of know and hang out with," says anthropologist Maris Gillette.

No one talked about your appearance, don't be so insecure of yourself.
Your below average "intelligence" and your above average arrogance are the two things that makes you the perfect example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Posts: 539Alternative facts
It is a fact I read on facebook, so it must be true. Or maybe it was Shoobree. Does not matter.
The "fact" of the matter is that COVID is CIA / conspiracy / UFO cover up by the evil government, and apparently devised by Richard Nixon in 1972. I have it on good authority Hitler is still alive in a Nazi den in the Antarctica and hooked up with Aryan aliens that have done modifications so an orgasm goes for 10 minutes, is 100 times more exciting and only takes 30 minutes to recover from. I've even heard the ladies have super sensitive extra clits in their anus and tonsils and love being ravished in that way.
And the Antarctica FKKs! Non sag F cup boobs, all free, no democrats and everyone is a billionaire. Who wants to join?

Mursenary.
Good one. Mirror of Erised.
Now girls, maybe Shoobree can have his own sandbox, Jackson can have a provobot, and we can have non bitchy / catty discussions about how and when the vaccine comes and offer girls our own form of jab.

Several months back, he took the time to reach out to me via private messages to insult me. When he realized it wouldn't work, he blocked me! LOL!
Thank god, I don't have to listen to his drivel non-sense. I wouldn't have seen his post, but he was quoted in your reply. I see nothing's changed since, haha.
