After 3 years in Norway I have come to the conclusion that most Norwegians are unfriendly, antisocial and even rude many times. Of course not everybody, but it's like in general.

I have lived in many countries in Europe and Norway is definitely special. Everybody says it's their way of communicating and if you get to know them they'll be much more friendlier. That might be, but the problem is that I haven't been able to get any Norwegian friends. The once I've got is not from Norway. This have never happened to me before in any other country.

Everytime a "Norwegian" says hallo or greets me at a new job he is either Swedish or Danish. Almost all the time. It's not a joke.

In my opinion it might has to do with the whole structure of the society. The strong government, a lot of socialism combined with the rules and benefits. You should keep things by yourself and mind your own business and so on. All the equality, which is great btw, but you certainly have that in other countries asuch well so that have nothing to do with it.

Norwegians however are not shy to let you know how good they are. Don't get me wrong. Your society is great with all benefits. But I just wonder why so many Norwegians are like this. I know a lot of you will be offended by this text, and that's another problem. Why is it to hard for you to here critisism? It's like you don't even want to listen. If you do, perhaps things can get better? People don't feel very welcome.

I know some of you will say things like: "it depends on where you are,,or who you meet" or even how I act etc. But no this is an objective opinion many agree with. Believe me.

So I simply wonder. What's your take on this,, and how do you fix it? Do you even want to fix it?
