51 Finnish Nightmares That Every Introvert Will Relate To

When I go into that TALKATIVE neighbor and I say "Hello!" while walking fast, and she starts telling me her whole life and I say "I have to catch the bus, it's almost there. Sorry, bye, see you later. Sorry." and I end up waiting shitloads of time for the said bus and she's there staring at me.

When you want to leave your room, but your flatmate is in the living room/shared space

i thought this was common practice

I was probably born in the wrong country, I must be a Finnish cause this is typical me listening the hallway through the door and wait people to go to elevator. even to think about sharing the elevator and a possibility of small talk give me goosebumps.

Finnish should live at least 3 months in Brazil... they will overcome all that!

That's not really introvert, its avoiding having to be stalled for a long time listening to an annoying sales pitch.

I would just take one. Cuz seriously guys, free food!

is that a stereotype about us

me too

Hahahaoh Nnoooooo

Right! It's physically painful for me to be the center of attention.

Compliments have a strange effect upon me. They don't make me shy, they make me ridiculously angry for some unknown but certainly profoundly stupid reason. At times I have to bite my tongue to avoid berating someone who I know is just trying to be nice or apreciative. gahh The worst part? Yep, I steel WANT my work to be recognized. Figures...

Hilarious. Tears from laughing

I prefer one on one praising.

hard to take conpliments

But you're also happy that you can now look in a range of ~125 degrees

Actually, I'm the person who moves away... Just because I enjoy and rather being at the window seat... Listening to trance songs and thinking about life...

Surely _this_ isn't a Finnish nightmare. The nightmare is when someone sits next to you even though there's an empty seat across the aisle.

I secretly share that person's joy of finding a vacant space further away.😄

I do that all the time, but when someone do that to me, I feel horrible :D

This one is simple - you ask when the meeting is over

And hope to God that someone has at least one of the questions you do, and asks.

Me in class. One girl always asks that that I want to and I am like HOW DARE YOU?!?!?

Oh yes i recognise. In a meeting and they go around if you have something for the round question. I say quick no so the aks to the next one in the circle. No attention please

i can relate to that.

"I should stand today... am sitting all day anyway"

...and you're the only standing up.

RIP me.

i would just stand

Fortunately I have trained myself to be brave, need to sit, so I sit

Or stand there silent and get off on the next stop, walk 4 km back home through cold rain and thunder, carrying 20 kilos of groceries, remembering you made a wrong choice in choosing your shoes, cos they are killing you but no matter, at least you didn't have to talk to the driver.

I would just stay put until the next stop and panic cause I didn't know where I was

Or just hope that the next stop is not to far away... then walk to the other door... but make sure that you act normal so that no one gets suspicious 😅🙈

or just press other buttons dingus

Waiting for the very last second

Earphones reduce the change of something liket this happening.

Ugh. I had a lady on the plane, despite me having over the ear headphones, keep tapping my arm to talk to me. I asked her if she forgot to bring something to do.

and then you have to get out, but the person is still there - so you need to ask them to let you through !!!

The absolute worst.

Not so bad if i'm about to my destnation
