1.I didn't post all the people I asked 2. I hope my nervousness wasn't showing 😅 3. It got quite fun 4. I guess strangers aren't so scary 😊 See yah next week 😊😊 Btw *most* people were pleasant❣
I will be coming to live in Sweden some time this Year and I already know its going to be hard to make friends over there I'm also from the Caribbean Trinidad and Tobago to be exact and we are friendly people we're use to just walking up to strangers and starting up convo huge change.
Do not fret! It's not going to be that Hard as you think, trust me. You will eventually end up at some place where you are forced to interact with others wich is a Great gateway to get to know People. A Great tip to use If you are interesting in a sort of "date" where several People can participate regardless of gender is to ask a swede "So, i heard about this FIKA thing you got here in sweden, what is it really and could you show me?" They will understand what you mean.
I think the approach with saying "hiii" and waving would make me hesitant to talk to a person too. It's just so non-Swedish - I've mostly been approached by junkies that way in Stockholm :) When tourists (or others) need help with something they typically begin with an "excuse me" instead...
Sure, Swedes are more reserved, however I don't think everyone in other countries would reply to my "Hi" on every occasion. I've never been to Jamaica, but when I lived in Spain and Italy for a time, I found it hard to connect with strangers and even find friends. That said, I'm having trouble finding new friends here in Sweden as well. And, especially Stockholm is a tad more unfriendly than for example a smaller city. I'd say your stats in the end was pretty good results. And you look so friendly and happy so I'm sure that had something to do with it. :)
Mm no offense but i can assure you as someone the lived in italy for 13 years i can assure you that people are really social like sometimes you find old people talking randomly to kids and joking with them. I have to said it might even be that you don't speak well italian so it was way difficult for you (not sure)
@@xxcrazyxxnonesisto6138, Of course, there are social and nice people in Italy. I'm talking from my experience finding social connections at my age, at the time. I have had many pleasant chats with the elderly. Definitely, the language level makes an impact on how successful and approachable you are.
Lol this was entertaining and you look fab! Don't feel bad if you say hi to strangers and they walk pass you, it's weird from a stranger's perspective. I probably will look at you strange as well and politely nod out of courtesy and keep walking. HOWEVER, If you say "Hi, excuse me" with an inquisitive or concerned look, then I will stop cos that automatically means you need assistance with something. This ALWAYS work with strangers because just a random hi can lead to unpleasant pleasantries not needed but an inquisitive hi, excuse me or concerned hello automatically put us in assistance mode. Just thought I'd throw that out there for next time. Also, your hi came uncertain, next time, add a boost to that hello and it will be reciprocated depending on the situation. If you are hiking or exercising for example, the unspoken rule is we all say hello/nod/wave to ourselves, sometimes little conversations may occur. Also, saying hi when someone next to you is holding a camera may bring more negative reactions than positive, I am one who don't like being on camera and may be that guy behind you who was dodging the camera.
The camera was aimed down most of the time until I got their consent Thanks for the feedback 😊 I wouldn't want to set off someone's assistance mode when I don't need assistance lol don't want to worry them unnecessarily I'll work on my uncertain hi 😊 It was nerve-wracking tbh 😅

All my life I thought I was socially awkward it turns out I'm from Sweden🤭.I may be Greek but being extremely introvert and quiet I find Scandinavian countries to be the best for me
Swedes are social but reserved, we are not used to talk to strangers on the street like that. The best way to get friends in Sweden is at work, meet people on equal ground like via hobbies and so on. There are some "meet and greet" groups on e.g. meetup that schedule meets that one can go to.
Work? Hahahaha Europeans see colleagues as the dorst ennemies that could ever ecist. Why u're spreading bulldhit man? Come on be honest with other people JUST ONE TIME
To be fair, in most countries, when someone says hi on a public street to a random person walking by, they think you’re trying to sell them something, or sign a petition.
In New York, which is known to be have thee rudest people (lol) most people would either shake their heads, nod their heads, smile, give you eye contact or make some verbal response and keep it moving. They wouldn't just completely ignore you.
I am not sure that they didn't speak because you said hi but because they saw you from afar and saw that you were recording and just didn't want to be a documentary lol. Let's hope that is the case.
Of my 37 years, i have lived in Sweden 33 years, and meetings new people is always best on westcoast (Göteborg) as well as northwest, however people here are used to keep to themself, friends or families which means already there is a problem for you to meet some swedes, this is something that many people from other countries thinks wrong and gets frustrated and take up the ''R'' word beacuse of swedes unsocial. Swedes prefeer beeing with their own people in first hand, I myselfs have never problem talking to new people, but then of course im half Chilean/Italian and theese two nations are loudy (Social) ones *XD*
"Shy" is a very powerful Word in The sentence that you generalize us as introverted and cold. I would claim that we are more about respecting Peoples personal space and integrity. To stop someone on The Streets to talk to them is generally considered very stranger unless you're asking for directions. And talking to stranger on The bus, train or anything but a bar is Kinda odd for us. We dont hate it, were just confused because we do not know how to smalltalk properly. It's alot about The fact that we are very strict about our own buissness and you should not be concerned about bothering anyone unless you really have to. But i mean, If you go to a bar and randomly talk to someone there i can almost guarantee you that The outcome will be alot more different than on The Streets. Do not fret tho! We are not unfriendly of any sort. But try to imagine us like that Jar of jam with a really strong/tight lid that's Hard to open, but you know there is goodness inside of it. ALSO: it depends on where you are aswell, id say Göteborg, Malmö and Umeå are example of cities where People are more relaxed and willing to give it a shot. If you ever decide to visit Göteborg just PM and ill show you how approaching swedes are done ;)
Hint from Estonians: "chit-chat" → "tühi-tähi" "smalltalk" → "tühi jutt" → "empty talk" "tühi jutt" is form of "lora": basically derogatory expression for "smalltalk" "small talk" is "empty", thus meaningless and it can easily be perceived as waste-of-time
If you go back like 15 - 20 years back would say Swedish people were very shy and conservative but they learned a lot from foreigners with the time like food culture,fashion,socializing,get together with the families and relatives,plus they have learned alot from going to vacations ... Swedish people never talked loudly but thank to foreigner they are more confidence thn ever ...they talk loudly,they dare to try new food,fashion,hair style,socializing with strangers etc etc ...foreigner have thought them alot
@@aishamiraj6189 that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. People were more social back in the day, even when I was a kid and I'm only 29. Currently people are scared to talk to strangers - wonder why? 🤔
This is very helpful especially for someone like me! Like you we speak to everyone everywhere and I'm from the south in the states is actually rude to not speak or smile when you see someone. I want to come visit still! I'm about to watch all your videos!!!
If you just say Hi or How are you doing we will think you are strange. But If you Ask a real Question like : can you help me with.. or Where is the... I guess we answer and After that maybe a real cenversation. My spelling is my phones fault, all the way 😜
we are not that shy but it can depend of alot of things and where in sweden u are, here in gothenburg we like to talk to people and were more friendly and helpful
In big city's in Sweden I think (anyway like me) many people think that someone who takes contact with you at the street just want to sell something or ask something for an boring survey or something.. If you're a woman and a male stranger comes up to you they instantly have a small back thought that you are hitting on her. And that's seldom a good way to get swedish girls. Sorry to say I think we Swedes in general overthink to much when people seek contact. That's something that I think does handicap Swedes to be as free and train interaction with others.. It doesn't get better cause many of us are shy. But one thing is for Shure. Once youve get to know someone Swedish. And they open up for you. We are genuine friendly no nonsence and warm people.. Not as i often feel like in US. Where everyone says hi and seems so friendly and interested in you. But truly arent. Hope I don't stepped to hard on annyones toes. But that's the problem with me I'm allways a little bit to straight forward and lacks the facilitated feature... Haha love /J
Ha I've seen this first hand. When you make a swedish friend they're pretty solid whereas other countries people are nice to everyone but it's very shallow.
The priviet, kak Dela girl is russian not swedish. And girl, as a New Yorker I'd be pretty used to that behavior because here it's the same. You don't just say hi to random strangers but in some parts of the US and the world that's like the norm. I had a teacher from Mississippi once and she felt mad offended when no one responded to her hellos lol.
I’m sorry but being from American as an African American I’m so surprised by how beautiful Swedish people are. It’s so crazy, like they are generally so good looking like they could all model ?
The method you are using has nothing to do with Swedish people being unsuccessful. I think waving to strangers ans saying hi to them wouldn't work in almost every country!
@@aneshalove226 I have to add I don't mean its a good thing that people don't say hi back or you are not doing a good thing. Quite opposite, what you do is a nice thing but nowadays people aren't friendly in pretty much every where Unfortunately that's a fact
Hello there although i have never been to sweden i have friends from there and from north europe and east asia (where the culture is very similar) people in this countries usually dont talk to strangers especially in the big cities for many reasons such as bigger privacy and personal space,they dont want to put their lives in danger, they want to make strong realithionships with people so they dont trust everyone easly plus the weather etc but it is also changing from person to person place to place and time to time,if you will try to socialise with them on a bars or on the mountains it will work better. Now About the swedes being "colder" than others its a very big misconsaption most swedes are in fact very friendly open welcoming and warm they have a diffrent culture that may appear more cold but appearnce is not everything,the most cold and rude people i know are people who come from opposite cultures like arabs or spaindars,we should separate between cultures and personalities sorry for my spelling mistakes english is not my first langauge and i have disabilities but i hope you understood me have a good day :)
I think Swedes are just reserved, if they don't know you, they won't bother you and they most likely won't want to be bothered by you. Maybe this is more in Stockholm. As a Brit, I am very reserved and introverted myself and generally do not talk to strangers. It is also a bit strange for me if someone I don't know starts randomly talking to me on the street. So therefore, I don't think I would have any problems living in Sweden and the reserve of Swedes or Finns (who are probably even more reserved) wouldn't bother me much. But when you make that connection with them, the friendship is genuine. That said, when I was in the South of Sweden several years ago, the people there were so friendly and open.
Hint from Estonians: "chit-chat" → "tühi-tähi" "smalltalk" → "tühi jutt" → "empty talk" "tühi jutt" is form of "lora": basically a derogatory expression for "smalltalk" "small talk" is "empty", thus meaningless and it can easily be perceived as waste-of-time
Omg,Anesha I could feel the coldness of the swedes in this video,I'm also from a friendly country,it's Brazil and here everbody would talk to you if you started a conversation.I think about moving to sweden but those "reports" that I'm listen to are making me scaried LMAO
Is weird I’m from Canada I travel to Sweden and South Africa I think people in South Africa are more friendlier and I make more friends in South Africa compare to Sweden and Canada combine being in my adulthood
Anesha love sis quick question sorry o digress, but what about melanin owned enterprises and businesses there?? as in are people of colour are they financially independent economically /inclusive if it's a level playing field via entrepreneurship opportunies, grants, loans and the likes ? or are all or most folk under paid employment ?? please talk about ''ownership'' be it property, business, entertainment etc are brothers and sister winning or is the environment conducive for such??
Alot of black people here are new to the country and have lower paying jobs but the longer they're here the more they move up. You won't see black people at the very top because they haven't been here long enough and it's mainly swedes here. The entrepreneurs here usually have small businesses
lmfao, talking to random people is so true. Honestly here's the trick. Just find a person or a group of people that are standing around, you can talk to them easier. Swedes that are walking and saying 'hi' usually ends up in getting ignored
@@aneshalove226 go for it hahaha I was in Gothernburg with a friend and we were trying to find someone to take a picture of us, everyone that was walking by just ignored me haha
You gotta start meeting them in kindergarten. You will make 2 friends and they will be your only friends till you die. Love they change like a ikea furniture. Med hälsningar, din taxiförare.
@@aneshalove226 lol - well atleast you know. You have to create the environment where they are willing to talk to you. Msaybe approach and ask permission to speak with them on camera first. Don't just go up to them with the camera on them...
Wow. I'm not war. Don't poor a family and call ppl Muslim/when not and then try hate girl. Your cool but im not a bum. Be nice. Ladies. I'm not a big or bum. I'm popping off I have jumped over 22-25'9 in long jump in 10steps naturally. No steroids and no way. If I had kids biologically at least stood up and I love them
To be honest you spoke english, and that makes a difference. Either you are a tourist or an immigrant to lazy to learn swedish. Had you started the english with excuse me i think more would have thought of you as a tourist and helped. Still you get more attention in english than in swedish. We may be shy but we are helpful people, and we generally dont think swedish people need help.
Omg i love your accent! Where are you from? I found this video cos I got an offer to head to Sweden and meet a long time url bud! My parents are going with me, but I'm still nervous bcos I've heard that they can be a littl stand-offish!
That’s strange to me. In the United States specially when you’re exercising or jogging someone pass you by you say good morning and smile and they say good morning and I smile back that’s how it is. If someone say hello to me I’ll say hello back I might not wanna talk to them but I still say hello. I that’s pretty much how it is in the United States. It’s very easy to make friends in the United States I mean after a while you can choose and pick which one you want to be friends or acquaintance.
Usually get new friends thru your friends. Mostly at a party. Then as the girl in the video said, atend to a class🤷 In school, at work etc. When i was in grenada it was pretty weird to get friends so fast, ecpesially saying hello to everyone walking pass 😆
I think Swedes are quite shy. Especially if they have a camera. I would probably shy away myself. I dont like to be filmed and asked random questions. But Swedes are very friendly and helpful on a one to one conbersation.
Swedes are all about staying neutral don't be special, be pc and keep up appearances. Collègues and bosses will appear friendly , but it's business attitude. Uniformity is important , it's better to be shy and silent then be a trouble maker.

As a Brit, I am very reserved and introverted myself and generally do not talk to strangers. It is also a bit strange for me if someone I don't know starts randomly talking to me on the street. So therefore, I don't think I would have any problems living in Sweden and the reserve of Swedes or Finns (who are probably even more reserved) wouldn't bother me much. But when you make that connection with them, the friendship is genuine.
That said, when I was in the South of Sweden several years ago, the people there were so friendly and open.
Hey Anesha! I like your channel, I like your energy och you´re funny! Interesting to hear your view on Sweden!
🥰 thank ya
Talk a walk and shopping is fun.... sheesh mean Sweden is very bored 😐
Lol I swear
@@aneshalove226 lol 😂 sorry girl
Love Jamaica from the Philippines!
😘😘
Wait you can go to Sweden and no masks in 2021?
Lol yesss
Duh! We handled The pandemic The worst in europe. But The social distance thing is already normal here. So that wasnt really a biggie.
Hint from Estonians:
"chit-chat" → "tühi-tähi"
"smalltalk" → "tühi jutt" → "empty talk"
"tühi jutt" is form of "lora": basically a derogatory expression for "smalltalk"
"small talk" is "empty", thus meaningless and it can easily be perceived as waste-of-time
Suh.... Di man and him catty a walk... Yuh reeeeaaalllyyy expect a response😂😂😂😂
Lol mi ambitious mumma😅
15 is pretty good and the girl at 2:22 seemed rathe jovial
Hahaaaaa you really have the guts hun but good work
The guts that you see is pretend 😅
The guy at 2:15 cracks me up.
Lol
You are courageous baby girl
@@liftconnect710 🥰 thank you
Omg,Anesha I could feel the coldness of the swedes in this video,I'm also from a friendly country,it's Brazil and here everbody would talk to you if you started a conversation.I think about moving to sweden but those "reports" that I'm listen to are making me scaried LMAO
Is weird I’m from Canada I travel to Sweden and South Africa I think people in South Africa are more friendlier and I make more friends in South Africa compare to Sweden and Canada combine being in my adulthood
Why in hell do you want to speak with other people?
The girl at the start has the loveliest laugh
Ha ya she was cute
your numbers doesn't add up :)
Good content ❤
I really want to find a swedish girl...
The girl on the bottom in the thumbnail has the dna i crave lolol not weird at all
.. good luck
Awesome !!!! Welcome to Stockholm
Tack ❣
Anesha love sis quick question sorry o digress, but what about melanin owned enterprises and businesses there?? as in are people of colour are they financially independent economically /inclusive if it's a level playing field via entrepreneurship opportunies, grants, loans and the likes ? or are all or most folk under paid employment ?? please talk about ''ownership'' be it property, business, entertainment etc are brothers and sister winning or is the environment conducive for such??
Alot of black people here are new to the country and have lower paying jobs but the longer they're here the more they move up. You won't see black people at the very top because they haven't been here long enough and it's mainly swedes here.
The entrepreneurs here usually have small businesses
Hey there, Thank u for sharing your video In Sweden 🇸🇪
😊😊
I'm Swedish but I'm not like this neither is my family, oh God
😅
Often wondered if being British may be an advantage, as we're known for being somewhat reserved too.
Ha so you blend in
lmfao, talking to random people is so true. Honestly here's the trick. Just find a person or a group of people that are standing around, you can talk to them easier. Swedes that are walking and saying 'hi' usually ends up in getting ignored
Lol I'll try this next time
@@aneshalove226 go for it hahaha I was in Gothernburg with a friend and we were trying to find someone to take a picture of us, everyone that was walking by just ignored me haha
We are not shy, we just dont say so much and are loud when we are drunk 🤣
🤣🤣
Hahahhaa i laughd so hard at first you being ignored
😭 evil
It's not easy to be a youtuber in Sweden
Ha I know
They just don’t give a f***
I know 😭😭
And now do one when you talk to immigrants
I did :) but its a sit down
Its kinda negative so I'm not sure about releasing it lol
@@aneshalove226 im assyrian and i live in Sweden so im kinda want to see the interwiew
@@waffleking3gamer414 will do 😊😊
@@aneshalove226 thanks
Immigrants are much easier to talk to. And I say this even as a swede. They might have a Hard approach but are usually really helpful and kind.
Get to know a Swede and they'll love you forever.
You gotta start meeting them in kindergarten. You will make 2 friends and they will be your only friends till you die.
Love they change like a ikea furniture.
Med hälsningar, din taxiförare.
Shopping is fun though 👀🥴
Ask mi wah fun hour Jamaica and yuh si di difference
As a swede really enjoy shopping thats the best thing I know
First you were acting very strange lol 😂
Jumping when people were talking to you. Socialism is an individual thing..
Lol ya I was weird too 😅
@@aneshalove226 lol - well atleast you know. You have to create the environment where they are willing to talk to you. Msaybe approach and ask permission to speak with them on camera first. Don't just go up to them with the camera on them...
@@shaunmc013 I did that most of the times :)
Wow. I'm not war. Don't poor a family and call ppl Muslim/when not and then try hate girl. Your cool but im not a bum. Be nice. Ladies. I'm not a big or bum. I'm popping off I have jumped over 22-25'9 in long jump in 10steps naturally. No steroids and no way. If I had kids biologically at least stood up and I love them
To be honest you spoke english, and that makes a difference. Either you are a tourist or an immigrant to lazy to learn swedish. Had you started the english with excuse me i think more would have thought of you as a tourist and helped. Still you get more attention in english than in swedish. We may be shy but we are helpful people, and we generally dont think swedish people need help.
Omg i love your accent! Where are you from?
I found this video cos I got an offer to head to Sweden and meet a long time url bud! My parents are going with me, but I'm still nervous bcos I've heard that they can be a littl stand-offish!
Awesome video...keep it up...
🥰 thank you
That’s strange to me. In the United States specially when you’re exercising or jogging someone pass you by you say good morning and smile and they say good morning and I smile back that’s how it is. If someone say hello to me I’ll say hello back I might not wanna talk to them but I still say hello. I that’s pretty much how it is in the United States. It’s very easy to make friends in the United States I mean after a while you can choose and pick which one you want to be friends or acquaintance.
Why the fuck am I the only one to notice the girls laughter??? 1:05 wtf xD
Usually get new friends thru your friends. Mostly at a party. Then as the girl in the video said, atend to a class🤷 In school, at work etc. When i was in grenada it was pretty weird to get friends so fast, ecpesially saying hello to everyone walking pass 😆
Anesha you Rock
Aww thank you
hey there. I love this video! I am also Jamaican. hoping to come to Sweden for a vacation soon. How ere you able to move to Sweden? Was it difficult?

"Привет, как дела" ахха

The same in USA....
Maybe
Not at all
How can you help me to enter Sweden
Jag gillar den😍
Tack ❣
LOVE IT!👏😂
Thank you 😊😊
I think Swedes are quite shy.
Especially if they have a camera. I would probably shy away myself. I dont like to be filmed and asked random questions.
But Swedes are very friendly and helpful on a one to one conbersation.
Swedes are all about staying neutral don't be special, be pc and keep up appearances.
Collègues and bosses will appear friendly , but it's business attitude.
Uniformity is important , it's better to be shy and silent then be a trouble maker.
Miss, are you 178cm tall
