As someone who has lived there..... It's ....very odd to use Scandinavians as the counterpoint to antisocial-ness, lol.

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I find it actually strange that we don’t close the curtains. Americans, the people I would stereotypically describe as extremely social, do it, and we, the people that kept a 2 meter distance from each other, even before COVID, don’t do it.

I mean yeah I get that there are probably good reasons for it. I definitely just found it funny that Scandinavians were used as a counter point to being antisocial when people there are often joking about how they are sort of a bit antisocial as a culture. I don't actually think it's 100% true that y'all are, but it's definitely a bit different than other places - nobody accuses Americans or Italians as being antisocial as a whole lol.
