Maybe your personality is more compatible with those in the other countries you have lived in. It's no suprise that people in different countries are different. That said, I find your characterisation to be hand waving and generalizing. Individuals are not synonym with the collective, and individuals are widely different in Norway like everywhere else.
I live in another country, and every day I have to deal with cultural differences. My choices generally are to assimilate or to feel left out. There is evidently some code you have not yet cracked, not knowing you it is impossible to tell which one.
I am not denying cultural differences and I am not expecting you to be like me. I am still talking of the asocial aspects. You argue as it do not exist.
When I am saying Norwegians I am talking about most of them, not individual people. Of course some are different, but that's irrelevant. I am talking in general. If you are different this topic is not directed to you.
I come along with all the different cultures I have experience, as I said. I also just come a long with the Norwegian, but I just wonder why it is so hard to get real friends here. That's all.
Are you in any way open for the suggestion that it's maybe Norwegians that are a bit different compare to others?!
