I often see people associating friendliness with extroverted cultures, but that doesn’t always match my experience. Sometimes very outgoing cultures can feel a bit pushy or superficial, while quieter ones can be warm and considerate once you get to know people.
I’m curious which European countries you think strike that balance — places where people are kind and friendly, but also value calm, personal space, and quieter social interactions.
As an introverted person who enjoys close friendships and spending time together over things like coffee or tea, I’d love to hear your thoughts or experiences.
Thanks in advance!
