Finns aren’t interested to connect with anyone once they have left college. They already have their own friend group they know for years or even decades by then. And aren’t interested in making new friends. This isn’t unique to the Finns though this attitude is quite common across Europe. Like I live in the Netherlands and often hear from expats how hard it is to make friends outside the expat community. And then some blame it on racism. But I also hear stories of Dutch people working abroad in Europe in those countries where the expats I know come from and it’s literally the same over there. It’s just that people don’t have the time to invest in new friendships once they enter the workforce and by then they aren’t interested in shallow friendships.
Thanks for the context.
