I hope this is not Finland like the name Sisu would suggest as it’s very much forbidden to make any live fires at the moment - wildfire warning is set for the whole country. People are ignoring the warnings and starting forests fires with careless campfires, cigarette butts and such. :(
Good streak of unpopular unpopular opinions there :D
Yes, the police did a great job confiscating those 4 tonnes of cocaine!
Indeed, smart of them to hide 6 tonnes of cocaine in such a place!
Thank you for the clarification, I shall consider us Psychopaths (Proudly, Adored) from now on :D /j nah but honestly speaking like half of us are depressed and the other half is just about to be. Straightforward here doesn’t mean saying what bothers you and we can be quite jealous people. Oh and shame is definitely our national feeling. I’d like to visit America one day and experience the vastness and see if people really are as confident and shamelessly proud as depicted!
Psychotic? Are you sure it’s not the Swedes you are talking about? An understandle mistake, I know I couldn’t make difference between Swedes and Norwegians!
Eye contact? Thst too sounds like swedish shenanigans to me! A friendly Finn is one who moves far enough to the side when you pass, you know, to give space. Space is the second thing we love the most right after sauna boats! You know, the personal kind!
Your friendly neighbour Finland here! We love them sauna boats! They are very much a thing here!
----- three!
Thank you so much for sharing! This is really relatable and interesting theory and provoked lots of thoughts, I read another article from the same author about grand emotions and it too was striking, super inspiring stuff and I feel more validated after reading these.
I actually began to doubt if the therapy I went to was “off” as the focus on emotional skills was on “non-autistic emotions” and that underlined the fact that I wasn’t at all good with those, but there wasn’t much recognition and support for emotions such as those mentioned in the grand emotions article.
Sumptuous dwelling! And portable!
Same here, used to happen when I’d have a big firght with my SO or parent who wouldn’t understand what’s going on and tried to push me into solving the situation rather than give space. But definitely difficulty speaking is an indicator of emotional distress/overwhelm for me and dissociation / freezing follows when the distress worsens. I find writing an easier way of communicating difficult emotions and thoughts and i’ve even thought about learning sign language to help with these situations.
