The worst case scenario in scandinavia when boarding a bus is that it is exactly half full, which obligatory means every double seat is occupied by exectly 1 person, and you must choose which one to annoy (including annoying yourself, if you’re Scandinavian because you too want to sit alone). Standing works, but you must feel shame all the time.
Nah, because if you’re silent the wrong way (and no one will ever tell you what that way is or how to be silent correctly) you’ll be ostracized since pre-school and end up socially withdraw whether you want it or not. Or at least that is my experience growing up here as an autist, as well as every other autistic person I know.
Stop romanticizing this place and its laughable excuse for a culture. Most people hate it here, and would much rather live somewhere else were it not for the fact that everywhere else seems to be even fucking worse.
How is that any different from what I experience here then? If I’m dealing with all that crap anyway, then I’d rather do it with people NOT sitting next to me when there’s a whole empty deck on the bus.
According to Google translate:
Also, the tradition is the exact opposite as I understand.
In Finland they like to be alone and be left alone, so you don’t just intrude on someone if they are in self-isolation.
Yeah that’s the joke.
Or did I miss some sort of elaborate joke-joke?

Second way to make friends in Finland: tell them how much you’re enjoying your visit to Scandinavia.
Finland is the canton of Scandinavia I like second most after Sweden so far.
Though I must say Poland was nice too.
At that point you just pull one of those little red hammers off the wall and leave through a window.
TIL the Finns are my people
As an autist, Finnish culture sounds perfect.

“Go pee on the transformer” but that sounds like “fuck off and die!”
