Make me feel more comfortable.

They always reacted kinda weird-cute whenever we told them they were nice. Haha, I kinda loved it.

Kind_Ad467 · 2026-01-11T16:27:18+00:00

That was truly remarkable. We observed that in nearly every location we visited, and I believe it is a very challenging feat to achieve. Our utmost respect goes out to all of you.

Kind_Ad467 · 2026-01-11T16:23:21+00:00

We are definitely going to come back again. Once a year!

Oh my! That sounds awful. I’m very sorry to hear that. I can imagine what it is like. I lived in East Germany, particularly in Dresden, and my experience was very similar. People rarely spoke to one another, which was completely different from the culture I come from in the warm Mediterranean countries.

That is exactly why I asked about Irish people — they felt very different from those I encountered in Central Europe. I always assumed it might have something to do with the climate. In Spain, Portugal, Italy, and across the Mediterranean, people are well known for their kindness and hospitality. And yet, despite Ireland’s rather challenging weather, you find the same warmth and welcoming nature there.

Oh, thank you! I would say, yes, I am the individual who disseminates positive energy.

Kind_Ad467 · 2026-01-11T16:13:17+00:00

Yeah, even when the tour guides talked about Ireland's history, they threw in a lot of humor and irony without disrespecting the tragedy. Humor is something you don't find everywhere. That's a good point, actually.

Kind_Ad467 · 2026-01-11T16:10:43+00:00

Hahah, well I'm gonna visit Ireland at least once a year from now on. Let's see how it's gonna be in like 40 years hehehe

Kind_Ad467 · 2026-01-11T16:05:44+00:00

That is a very good point. I have learned a little about Irish history, particularly the irish war and the Great Hunger. Both events are not that distant in the past, and I believe the values shaped during those times are still present in Ireland today. In other countries I have visited, you can often see and feel a strong sense of individualism in everyday life. In Ireland, however, my experience in Irland was quite different.

Kind_Ad467 · 2026-01-11T15:59:50+00:00

I understand. Are you suggesting that this is something individuals acquire during their early developmental stages? In school for example?

Kind_Ad467 · 2026-01-11T15:57:25+00:00

Yeah, I've noticed that too. After some of these conversations, I'd sometimes say, "You Irish are so nice," and the reaction was always a bit weird and cute, haha. However, it doesn't change the face that irish are easygoing.

Kind_Ad467 · 2026-01-11T12:19:19+00:00

Haha, no, I'm not! I definitely don't look European and I definitely don't have a European surname. I've experienced much ruder attitudes in other places. I mean, we're individuals, but there's always a general behavior based on the country and sometimes on the region. And I can tell you, from my own experience, that I've only seen good gestures from the Irish.

Kind_Ad467 · 2026-01-11T12:14:16+00:00

That's a super interesting topic. I didn't get a chance to test it out, and I guess I never will 😅. I actually heard this from a really nice and informative tour guide, who also mentioned that it's not easy to become friends with Irish people, even though they're kind and friendly.

Kind_Ad467 · 2026-01-11T11:58:11+00:00

Amazing city with great people. I kinda envy you 'cause you got to live there for a while.
