When I was a student in Denmark in 1990’s, sure, I met students or people from other Scandinavian countries:
- Finland
- Sweden
- Norway
- Iceland
I did not notice “awkward behavior” called as “Finnish Nightmare.” The a socially awkward was depicted in a webcomic by Karoliina Korhonen.
The webcomic was translated in Asian (far eastern) countries:
- China
- Japanese
- Korea.
In Japan, the book got Gaiman award in 2017. The award is designed to make Japanese aware of the best comic outside Japan.
The comic got hit in China, especially to millennial generations, because they “dream” of privacy as one of reasons.
Finland has huge space compare to crowd cities in China. However, Matti, male Finnish in the cartoon respects:
- peace
- quiet
- personal space
Young Chinese who was born as a kid under China’s single child policy identified themselves as Finnish nightmare.
They believe that their characters similar to Matti in terms of:
- avoids talking to others
- live alone happily
- hide from neighbors
- inconvenient to work in pairs
- do not like to be single out
- a kind of social phobia.
Do you know about Finnish Nightmare? What do you think?
...this is new to me, but I read today that Nordic countries are among the happiest countries in the world.
ReplyDeleteThis is completely new to me. I had a coworker from Finland years ago and she was very social and happy-go-lucky. I know that she now lives in HK and works in Shenzhen. Both cities are extremely crowded.
ReplyDeleteKnew to me as well..... I see

Never heard of it. I did grow up in west Texas. Lots of wide open space there. I know I would never want to live in the big city areas.
ReplyDeleteWell I'm a Finn. We do value our privacy. 🇫🇮
ReplyDeleteIn these hazardous corona virus times we have to keep a 2 metre distance and here in Finland we joke about it asking why do we have to be so close to each other when the normal distance between two strangers is 5 metres? 😀😀😀
Well, there will be more of us living it as life gets back nearly to normal.
ReplyDeleteHope so ....

ReplyDeleteNever heard it...Thanks for your sharing...
