    I’m part of that group. One reason is I feel like shit, don’t really like myself and want the best for the people I love. That ain’t me.

        Don’t really like to info dump but, I have been to therapy. I’ve felt this way since before I hit puberty. In my oldest memories where I still recognise myself I’ve felt like this. I’ve sorta accepted that I’ll feel this way for the rest of my life. Everyone experiences a range of emotions and for some people that range lies closer to despair than bliss.

        What’s the Netherlands like, I’ve always wanted to visit. Being depressed in a new place is always exciting lol.

          It’s incredibly small. Highly developed urban areas, great cycling infrastructure, better trains than Germany, mild climate year-round, some parks and the rest of the country houses the highest concentrations of cows, pigs and chickens.

          Housing prices are even worse than the rest of Europe, income tax is high, cost of living is high, but still worth it for many people due to good work-life balance, child-focused education, good infrastructure, mild climate and basically almost Scandinavian culture, but with more sunlight.

          We can be quite closed off and hard to get in touch with, and even rude. I usually tell Anglo-Saxons that we may seem autistic compared to their social norms.
