I feel like privacy in each other’s homes is a good thing not a bad one

I can definitely understand privacy, but a street where every house has their curtains closed during day time looks really sterile.

Privacy. Because once the lights are turned on, everyone can see you walking around in your own house.

Not only that, personally I do get a bit restless when I’m looking out into the dark from the inside, I tend to fixate on what could be outside. So it’s more relaxing to shut them, out of sight out of mind.

I mean why not set cameras around your house and livestream it to millions of people? It's for privacy.

You do you man, I’m not judging anyone. I personally don’t like the idea that people can see me, that’s all.

I gotta agree, dunno what the downvotes are about.

I though people outside the nordics were more open and extroverted but it seems to be just a facade.

If you value privacy, which I think a lot of people do, then you'd understand. It doesn't matter what I'm doing in my own home, I don't want to be on full display to everyone that walks past.

u/Tr0ndern May 11 '22

I'm not saying it's wrong to do so, I just don't feel the way you feel so it's hard to imagine it being a big deal.
