To my knowledge, yes. I'm Norwegian, and we're usually sort of reserved and private. Obviously it varies, the older generation is more open. Even small things like striking up a conversation with someone while waiting for the bus is 'frowned upon', people keep to themselves and mind their own business. People who talk to you at bus stops are 'weirdos' (very over-simplified, but that's the general opinion). I'd love to live in a place where it's more normal to just strike up a conversation with someone. I'm not usually the one to start a conversation, but if someone does, I'll usually be fine with it. Oh, and don't even get me started on eye contact; that's some scary shuff! How does even eye contact work? I have no idea...
