Haha I don't know where you're from but Swedish people are often stereotypically bad at both dealing with emotions and resolving conflicts. "Van der" = Gonna guess you are Dutch? Well Swedish people are, as you know well yourself, the opposite of the Dutch in how to handle things.

- aerique 6y agoHaha, could you elaborate on that? That sounds like a fun read. disclaimer: I'm Dutch.
- danielscrubs 6y agoDutch and Finnish are known for being frank and to the point which is why they are quite well regarded in Sweden. Swedish is more conflict averse, always trying to protect each other and often failing because what happens is that people read in between the lines instead, which is much worse. disclaimer: I’m Swedish.

Yeah, I know the stereotypes but the thing is that I already had studied a master in Sweden for two years myself, and thought I had gotten used to communicate "like a Swede", but I still was surprised how much more fragile the bachelor students were than anticipated
