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.
Fair enough. I’m mostly arguing with a strawman here, composed of all the content online about how supposedly great this place is, the most egregious being those fucking happiness indexes or whatever. By what I can tell by living here all my life is that the state sucks (as in nothing fucking works like it’s supposed to), the location sucks (cold and/or dark most of the time), and all the people are drunks, depressed and thus hypermedicated, drug addicts, or inbred, xenophobic, racist homophobes. Or depending on how far from the nearest train station you stray a combination of all!
TIL the Finns are my people
As an autist, Finnish culture sounds perfect.

Welcome to Finland, I hate it here.
That’s just like Florida here in US - except it’s hot/muggy and too bright.
Well there you have it: Finland - no better than Florida!
