I don't think it is, no. I get a culture shock now whenever I go to Finland but equally I struggle here with forced conversations. It's like people are scared of silence.

@hisotalus Compared to USA, even people in England are quiet. In London I get looks all the time "why the fucke are you talking to me???"1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

OMG. Hearing your accent they will have humoured you, like an lunatic or a simpleton, but their deep gut-squirming discomfort will have shown through.

Hanna is right though. There is a different between awkward silence between people you have been introduced to VS strangers. In the UK you don't talk to strangers if you are in the South pretty much.

Replying to @o_guest @mnitabach and
But if you have been introduced everything that involves silence often gets "awkward". Where I am from originally this is all nonsense and even the concept of awkwardness is non-existent as used in the UK.
