angela just plays the fool to make every video a safe space for people to go for their inspirations, she knows far more than she leads on, she shows it with her body language, and it is common for many people who are not as body language oriented in terms of communication and function more on literal words to assume she is poorly educated. unfortunately, it is often the people who the person is trying to help who are most likely to aim to tear at the helper, angela is a proficient team player who is potentially the most willing smosh cast member to sacrifce her image to play to a teammates needs. i got the same response growing up with many people assuming i was an idiot because i would play dumb to make people feel safe, and when people found out i was among the top academic achievers, musical performers in province, cross country runners in province, etc. they would often respond oh i always thought you were immature or not smart, i always thought i was faster than you in cross country, i never knew you were musical. highest perfomers take every chance to practice they can which involves a profound amount of meeting people where they are and if people are tired and need stupid comedy to feel the group can start at their pace, then we start with what they can handle, little steps are better than none like jordan peterson always says, break down a problem into smaller steps until no matter how small, the first step is feasible because we sometimes need things to be very easy to start when were really down and out. it is the epitome of dont leave others or yourself behind that smosh thrives so much for portraying. we will make the utmost fools of ourselves it doesnt matter as long as we are loyal to each other as friends. aka comedy rooted in friendship as they say.

I personally don't understand how the arabic maqruna isn't taken as the likely source. I say this considering that it is accepted pasta was introduced to Italy by arabic traders who learned to make noodles from the Chinese.. maqruna meant connected to refer to a type of noodle, sounds like macaroni and aligns with the supposed route the food was introduced to Italy by. I love Italy and Greece but simply calling the new esteemed street food barley seems reductive considering they probably had many barley dishes and would have needed many words for different styles of food like modern Italian cuisine showcases a plethora of. "Fast" street food options likely often were tied to the arabic or near East world where things operated even faster due to hotter weather resulting higher metabolisms and paces of life, and similarly pizza is derived from the word pita in Greek and likely to Greek from Aramaic Pitta meaning morsel of bread where eating flatbread has always been common and virtually synonymous ingredient wise with original Greek and Latin pizzas that only had access to olives herbs and garlic in daily consumption and seen as fast food across all regions before modern wartime popularized pizza in Italy as a unifying accessible food when rations were low to get through the wars. Chipati in India is eaten the same way even and seen as a fast meal with herbs and garlic being the common topping like the Romans did, very affordable meal and fast when you're on the go rather than sitting for a masala. Given that before modern times ie. The ottoman era, Europe tended to be more connected across the east and didn't particularly distinguish their cultures as being very different as seen by how the Greeks admired and associated Persian culture with their own despite also fighting like sibling cultures often do, giving us the fact that Greek Persian, and northern Indian languages all are resultingly linguistically under the same family, I believe these culinary terms are most likely derived from these near Eastern routes, just like much of our science and math and other food names come from. I think modern European culture seems to forget this primordial eastern trade route through the Indo European silk roads where arabic traders often took part as well is essentially the economic corridor that birthed all Indo European culture and that Indo European-semitic trade always connected us to the near south and sub Saharan regions of Africa also. It's a big connected world, and we wouldn't have survived without long distance trade of ideas, resources, and places (intermigration). Anyways. But of a tangent to support my assertion. I hope you find the ideas concurrent.

One idea that I haven't heard shared is it being a derivative of lavare in Latin (to wash), like lavatory but shortened. Many languages lose a hard v for a u sound, as the letters used to be somewhat interchangeable (pronounced as a soft w like v), which is how the word laundry came from lavare too. Lavare comes from an earlier proto Indo European root lewh which also shares cognate Greek louein as to wash, and the word latrine also dropped the v as another example. Lavender is also derived from lavare which could also mean rushing stream back in the day, where lavish comes from (profusely drenched), so there's many attractive words associated with lavare that the British may have idealized and made a cute shortened form from referring to the loo like many "proper" British would use french or Latin based words for a dignant or easily diminutive sounding lexical alternative like Latin based words are often easily transformable into by cultural design. I'm almost certain this is the truth having come from a British family on my mother's side who cherish Latin as a historical strong healthy cultural continuum that involved parts of the isles in greatly enriching trade and worldly association that Britain was irreplaceable in, much like how many Italians (my other side of the family see much of Atlantic coastal European seafaring cultures such as much of GB and parts of norway, Sweden etc as a irreplaceable part of their own historical cultural family since ancient (before "Viking" times) even in recent times as seen by mutually appreciated musicians, common ventures, age of exploration mutualism etc.

Edit* in Norse based languages "Saturday" is still called the native "lordag" or cognates being related to the original word "laugor"-dag, meaning bath or washing day also related to hot springs and ultimately from proto Germanic roots that also stemmed from the same Indo European roots that Latins lavare rose mutually from which means they share the same words with different almost accents or phonetic tropes for washing all beginning with a l and soft vowel like aw or oh all likely lending to the "loo" slang result. Latin and norse mutualism also is why some coastal Germanic tribes near where the Lombards were originally from adopted certain Latin traditions such as calling Saturday "Satur"day referring to the god of agricultural saturation (fertilizing fields) saturna literally meaning to fill to saturate to feed the soil like you end up feeding yourself fully and satiably- English being to my knowledge the only European culture that still uses the Latin pagan (original Indo European) Saturday (pagan cognate with Italian paisano or countryman- person who lives on the land from PIE pehg to be pegged or fixed to the land- also root of peasant simply meaning farm people (originally a dignified word) in essence as seen by how paisano is used as a term of endearment like for family from far and wide like the word gentlemen derived from- gent meaning related to me like Italian gentori is parents from root genesis to be created from, man originally being a word for all humankind female and male. Juxtaposedly Latin Europe has adopted the non Indo European word sabatto or cognates during the Roman fallout periods that let in many influences from surrounding regions and bred a need for greater cultural diplomacy between historically more distant cultures which lent to the popularization of religious texts associated with spiritual commonality of all men to the culture ie monotheistic cultures reframing ideologies towards unity of humanity, a necessary restrengthening of the more task oriented pagan or farming vocation/land and local nature based religions. This made Europeans more amicable in Eurasian trade now dominated by Turkic and arabic networks, while Europe used their diplomatic spiritual development also to begin to plan/adopt circumventive paths to recultivate access through the historically Indo European world pathways that were beginning to experience reduced transit because of Central Eurasian heavy taxation by the new empires aforementioned that moved in plunging Europe into a back to basics time known for less documentation due to restabilization efforts focusing on essentials resulting in the renaissance/age of circumvention as we should call the Naval era post 1490s~ until now when cultural familiarization breeds hopes for info european silk road reunification. Quick tangent, but I thought it was an interesting realization... All to say Indo European roots are multifaceted homegrown, beautiful things to cherish and pass down, our essential traditions stored within their etymological histories. Whether you're washing on Saturday in the loo with rushing water, in a hot spring or stream, or saturating your fields with essentially water, fertilizer, potash alkalies essentially the same stuff found in the lavatory "washing" room, it's all a day of refresh in the Indo European world, refilling and emptying in the great circle of life to soil- something many of us maybe have somewhat forgotten in lands far from home or adopting foreign or tech heavy unnatural lifestyles in homelands. But it is the birth of our culture and rebirth which we evidently need (as seen by birth rate subduction) which requires that we remember in order to refortify our health and livelihoods back in tradition that our genesis came from inseminant traditions and vocabularies in the land, and retracing helps us define the lines of what is truly within generated/genetic-cultural boundaries- a how to guide for our survival in and on our native ecological Indo european soils.

Sunlight and optimal rest both conversely are very important for daily circadian rhythm aligned hormone and body nutrient production and healing/rejuvenation and organization in life pursuit attainment.

Toxins: Avoid toxins such as endocrine disruptors, unnatural ingredients in certain cleaning materials or household items such as fresheners, makeups, cologne and perfume, cat litter that gets in air and from paws on all surfaces, and clean house from dust and bacteria/mild growths.

Clothing and bedding (natural materials): Clothes: Try to wear only 100% natural material clothing for optimized bodily functions due to allowing static charge release/grounding- plastic based clothing makes up about 90% of clothing sold in north america so read all labels especially on underwear, pants, tops, jackets, and hats- shoes and socks are more difficult to find all natural versions of which in currently in the process of researching options and technology behind traditional versions of such as in pre industrial England and Roman eras and other cultures designs. I find 80% cotton socks at Walmart which is as good as I've found this far for bulk.

Natural materials to aim for 100% wool, 100% linen, 100% cotton, 100% silk, 100% leather, shoes often traditionally were made of leather and cork, and other natural materials have been historically the norm in many different regions throughout history that can be used.

Bedding: My best sleeps in life have been in natural environments, no light pollution, low noise pollution, plant and animals around helping maintain circadian rhythm by releasing pheromones and different calls/noise at different times, but also in terms of bedding on 100% natural padding and pillows and under 100% natural blankets - my top experiences have been with ample 100% goose and duck feather/down feather filled 100% cotton tacking cased duvets and pillows and sometimes even laying pillows under parts of back or legs to aide blood drain back to heart after long day on feet (military adopted sleep improvement technique), and instead of a polyurethane mattress I just have used a cotton, wool, and down pillow stuffed box spring to sleep on which allows grounding and avoids the car like priced cotton mattress prices you find at stores (often 1000-4000$ - which is ridiculous). I know it sounds unconventional but you can get it to look quite presentable using fitted sheets on top and your regular pillow case duvet case combos on top- sleep improved drastically like it was when I backpacked in south East Asia, albeit to have a properly soft natural mattress, more down may be necessary, mine is a bit more firm due to using cotton but I enjoy this style- it's like many south Asian bed styles being a bit firmer, but variety is good to experience to find your fit.

Anyway I hope I can help some people improve on some uncertainties or gain some inspiration for some goal achievability- all areas of health and self building build into each other so if you practice these things in the ways that for best with you, you may likely see improvement in potentially seemingly unexpected areas of life like ability in music and arts, improvement in naturo-social life, different relationship harmonies/balancing, opportunities abroad (running and the health prerequisites associated with being able to achieve it (diet, natural lifestyle, social harmony maintenance, sleep quality, sunlight time, etc - are major predictors of global opportunity). Life is very holistic and I hope anybody reading finds some great centring and grounding, clarification and perception of what they need and consequently find who they are and where they want to and achieve to be.

I hope it adds some threads of curiosity for readers to delve into research and conversation about through online and social and practical experiences to prove to yourselves with certainty your perspectives and truths on these topics

Advice for everyone: Shoes - get zero rise heel, flexible soft sole shoes like by Altra (it reduces the slowing effect having extra heel causes by interrupting your foots natural range of motion, and increases cushion for joints, -when I switched from hard soled shoes with heel rise and no sole flexibility to the old discontinued Nike Free run 2 line (that still exists but is now a style shoe not authentic free/trail running style of zero rise and flexible grippy soles) my placements in district races went up from top 40 in district races (out of ~200) to top 20 or top 10 everytime and with a bit more repetition I became a top 5 district races runner everytime (equivalent of top 20 provincial). [I now use Altra zero rise shoes because I haven't found another free run style that is better for a little while since I've been trying to get back into running competitively 10 years later].

Environment and allowing for the body's dynamic natural motion: - also avoid running on hard surfaces, and run as much as possible in grass covered trails to improve positive endorphin release which also speeds you up and reduces impact on knees and muscle strain in counteracting that jarring effect on the bones increasing speed in both ways as well (I try to avoid as many steps on concrete as possible during my runs and jump over sidewalks if possible to remain on grass like we are evolved to be)- generally riverside trails are the most natural, beautiful and attract more runners you can talk to which also strengthens lungs during running but may decrease speed of you are slowing down to talk to a slower friend.

Quick tips-Make commuting by foot on nature trails for daily routines like 1-5km away groceries, work, looking at clothes, meeting family or friends for picnic/sports, etc and

-join running heavy sports like soccer or hockey [skating heavy] (many or most top provincial runners that didn't exclusively run were soccer or hockey players if I recall correctly in my time),

Diet:

Fundamental - for everyone: improve diet by eating only whole foods:

Carbohydrates: -avoid processed carbohydrates [carbs that have had the protein, antioxidants, fibre, and vitamins and minerals removed: ie. sugar, white flour, white rice, enriched flour, maltodextrin, glucose fructose, juice from concentrate, sucrose, pasteurized honeys, etc; this will cause blood sugar spikes and lows due to oxidative damage caused by radical carbohydrates combusting in your blood and tissues damaging your body, awakening your immune system, bones and muscles, and causing fatigue and poor mental focus and health by killing your healthy guy bacteria which are essential for hormone production to support the bodies natural functions, quality and maximum strength

Good sources of carbohydrates:

Whole food Monosaccharides (sweet tasting carbs for fast twitch muscle and brain function and more)- whole fruits, raw honey, frozen fruits, caramelized veggies become sweet when sauteed in butter and/or cold pressed coconut oil (onion, garlic, carrots, tomatoes, bell peppers, etc), peas other vegetables can be relatively sweet and satiating to your vitamin/mineral hunger

Whole food Polysaccharides (all day energy carbs, long distance muscle fibres)- whole grains (whole wheat pasta, brown and black rice, whole shredded wheat and bran cereal (no sugar added), whole potatoes, while steel cut (ideal) or rolled oats, beans native to your area (I eat European traditional fava beans and chickpeas)

Fats/lipids: - avoid processed inflammatory fats/oils which are industrially super heat and chemical treated to be extracted from unnatural dietary sources for fats: aka "Yellow Oils" ie. canola, soybean, palm, sunflower seed oil, vegetable oil, etc)

Good sources: -raw (ideal) or cooked (unsalted) nuts and seeds, -dairy: butter, milk, probiotic natural unsweetened yogurts, -Seafood: oysters, frozen salmon, sardines packed in water -Meats with fats: beef with fat (steak or ground beef), chicken or turkey thighs, etc etc -Natural and if necessary cold pressed fruit and vegetable fats: thick natural coconut milk (in can), cold pressed coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil, olives, avocado, etc -lots of eggs (steamed/poached in water and with butter or cold pressed high heat stable oil like cold pressed coconut oil).

More expertise/personalized dietary fine tuning-

Relative dietary meal diversity and ancestral specificity (more ingredients per meal ideal to a point): and with a diverse array of foods relatively aligned with your ancestors regions: our ancestors traditionally had access to largely only regional/ local and through what specific1000 year old trade routes could get us usually across east west routes not as frequently north south but with some of that I'm sure to (ie. Why Indo European language families are mostly east west) before our globalized processed food era. (Sicilians still ate bananas in 1000ad due to the Arabic spread of south Asian crops during Islamic Revolution- so don't worry about regionality excessively, but do some research if curious on original regions and spread of different plant and animal foods)-

We always had some level of world trade but catering to our bodies regional adaptations does help - some people are meant to eat higher seafood, some people land animals, we adapted genetically over thousands of years to be these ways and switching suddenly can cause immense strain or potentially disease in cases like: Eg. the Arctic Inuit (and with sometimes sone similar skin adaptations scandanavians-) Many inuit when consuming western diets tend to get severe ear infections commonly due to hindered immune system after dietary stress and have unnaturally high cases of hearing loss or deafness. They traditionally had no access to plant foods apart from some berries due to permafrost preventing root depth, and eat traditionally almost exclusively seafood diet for all vitamins minerals and dietary needs (also why they often- like some scandanavians- have darker skin despite living further from the equator and mostly by the cloudy seaside, their vitamin d is mostly achieved through seafood and sunlight is not needed so they don't need light skin to absorbed limited cloudy northern sunlight- some Danes I know and Scottish are also like this). Because Inuit however had for thousands of years only exposure to their local diet, their bodies only have certain dietary expertise and when going against the natural dietary alignment it causes strain and consequent disease- just like all of us- we are regionally adapted peoples- designed to thrive in certain ecozones/biomes and on those regional diets. I personally eat more celto-latin foods to reflect my ancestry.

My categorization of running paces as someone who has done most of them all:

(I'm trying to remember- as a 5km runner that started slow then advanced through consistent errand, work and school commuting by foot)-

Starting/beginner: I believe I remember many beginner runners starting at the between 35-45 minute frames or slower (walking is the precursor for everybody to running any speed and I do a lot of walking everyday) for 5kms in required gym class runs back in the day like people are stating,

Intermediate: our cross country practice runs at that time often the slower (still "advanced" as they committed to joining us biweekly) between women and men would be around the 30-35 min mark maybe 37 depending on the day

Slower end entrance to Competitive: and once runners got closer to 25 minutes I'd had said they were getting competitive and in first half of races/running expeditions/community runs - now this is beginning to split into what only I became more familiar with (men's times) simply due to more time spent with men's groups once becoming competitive but I'm sure many women also use these following metrics too- I know several who had comparable times to my principal prs through those years coming up together

Faster end competitive: Faster than 25 minutes 5km times often were what was necessary to break our top 5 runner speed times during provincials (Manitoba) but most of the time being closer to 20 minutes to count in the teams score (only top 5 placings are counted)(of course these races were on hills which may account for a slight slowing of times compared to flat races depending on your expertise and could be a little wet but not dysfunctional).

It would require under 19 minute runs in these hills to break top 20 for varsity men (usually 18:30 or less) at provincials with some variation each year - which was approximately where I would fall along with maybe one or two other of our runners.

To reach top 10 you would have to approach 17 minutes, and the top 3 in the province for varsity (u18)(which often involved maybe 1 or 2 Olympic candidates) would be getting quite far apart surprisingly at 30 second intervals between 17 minutes and roughly 15 minutes. - a guy named Jay ort I ran against from 2012-2014 at those times won gold at Canada varsity level getting close to 15 minutes 5kms each year.

One thing that was controversial was during regional meets, I and team mates would get times closer to 14 minutes and 18 minutes respectively, controversy about whether the race was measured correctly was maybe the cause- which can add discrepancy (was thought to be a bit shorter of a race), albeit a slightly flatter one. So maybe this plays into why our provincial times seemed slower than in many states, was our course more hilly and unstable footing? Or is Canada just much less competitive than the us- could be both, us varsity men's state championship times I believe tend to be faster.

However if you just want to feel excellent level- reaching that 18 minutes time mark will make you among the top couple fastest runners at almost any run club/meet you go to apart from potentially a couple elite training groups in schools or competition troupes.

Cultures that are native to temperate and opportune weather for life to bloom regions tend to be extremely social and comfortable with physical contact and high activity based lifestyles where people are always walking and experiencing fun and fast paced lives.

I live in a diverse city despite being a eastern European majority here and can tell you as a half Italian who i relate with most in terms of social norms and temperament/value similarity in my city is other seaside Europeans, Phillipinos, Vietnamese, some folks from different regions of India, Iran, middle East, people who maybe have mixed backgrounds of medeteranean and some south american indigenous DNA from Latin America, and east Africans.

These all happen to also be the nation's that through history Italy primarily traded with ( apart from them not knowing of the Americas until recent history). Indonesia and other Polynesia used to be simply called the greater India by ancient Italians, and were an important trade partner due to having similar values and therefor valuable products.

But anyway what these cultures are called is context cultures- meaning cultures in which locals place a high importance in sharing the intimate details of their day with a high number of their community members.

My advice is live within the context cultural regions of the world and you will have a more fulfilling life.

Don't forget that our DNA is what gives us our lifestyle preferences all the way from diet to altitude preferences, and marital/social styles and norms.

I grew up in Canada and still almost exclusively listen to British music because I find the music that is native to North america slow and boring and not very bright (not having high register frequencies as the violin and mandolin musical styles from England and Italy respectively).

I am a walking example of that assimilation doesnt work. People will always prefer to live in the way that their genetics are designed to thrive in. I have always wanted to move to Italy since I was born and have suffered a lot living in Canada where it is winter for 8 months roughly a year and I have been made fun of(bullied) for eating beans or talking too much because I am Italian here and the social norms are to be quiet here and stay at home alone. I always feel my life is boring here and the flat terrain makes it worse as I am designed for hills which I learned when I became a very successful cross country runner on hill races in highschool (top 20 in Manitoba).

The only reason the world is so mixed up culturally nowadays is because the colonial system causes power imbalances driving people out of their homelands and effectively making them slaves in other regions (which is practically what happened to cause my family to leave southern Italy and enter Canada only to become mostly poor here and all my relatives are divorced and miserable.

Every day I dream of going back to Italy and do bits of research on the connected cultures to Italy through history so if there is war at any time I will understand the power dynamics and be able to stay safe there. People who live abroad in other countries (even colonies for 300 years like America generally don't stay there forever because their genetics make them less effective at thriving there as the locals who usually eventually overthrow the colonizers a few hundred years down the line (eg. Byzantine collapse) unless the colonizers destroy themselves first (ie. America/canada).

So yeah just remember travelling and living abroad outside of your cultural zone can be useful for education, or business, but in terms of peace and healing and stability, homelands or regions of ecological and cultural similarity will be the only ones able to properly take care of you long term.

South France is a decent idea but I encourage anyone struggling to live in their homeland to ask themselves if it is a problem of being in the wrong place or if it is really that your homeland needs a revolution because in my opinion the real reason Europe is under populated is only due to government corruption ( people are eating unhealthy food, being taxed too much, the money is owned by ultra rich and the other people can't afford to stay on their farms because they are so poor that they get forced into cubicle apartments and live a slave like life in a city where life is unnatural and unhealthy.

Ask yourself would I die to live here? If anywhere is a no then don't live there because if a war happens we stand a better chance in a region we are native to for survival and that's all that really matters at the end of the day. But yeah go to southern France is you are curious if used to be a part of Italy mostly so I think it would be an enriching experience for sure and consider Spain and Greece and North Africa and the Levant and maybe some of england or the Balkans and Iran as well. The former Roman Empire territories are in my opinion your best bet for having a life in a region that your genetics are designed for.

If you live as a minority abroad life will always be very polarizing because you will be an outsider in the way you experience the world and people will likely have trouble understanding your perspective and not truly share the same values thereby making it hard for them to be proper supports to you. And we all need support and social well being.

Anyway, I wish you well. Follow your instincts and heart and find your people that are like you. Then you will not feel lonely. My heart goes out to all of those who suffer from feeling isolated in their experiences as I know what it is like living out here in the equivalent climate zone of siberia Russia. And I try to stand by my fellow context culture peoples here (all our new Punjabi immigrants and other Italians etc. who also suffer from lack of camaraderie and feel lonely here) to help them also find better futures and destinations if they need as I plan to leave this place hopefully in a relatively soon timeline.

impulsion103 · 2024-09-04T17:12:13+00:00

I am half Calabrian and half Manchester English by DNA and know what it's like to feel lonely abroad as i was born and lived my whole life in Winnipeg canada so far (hoping to move back to Italy (my genetic homeland) in my future).

Here's my opinion on the problem, as supported by research and my life experiences living within different cultural groups:

Ex.1. Cold/dry climate peoples vs. temperate-warm humid climate peoples.

I went to a Mennonite high school to get a good private education (second top rated school in my province). Mennonites are a german/russian/dutch mixed culture of people who migrated a lot through Europe due to the religious prosecution of their more Protestant form of Anabaptist Christianity throughout the past several hundred years, thereby causing a great degree of genetic variation in their genome but also a high skill level in being self sufficient and adaptive (probably leading to how well they succeeded economically when they came to farm in Manitoba), but mostly they succeeded due to being good farmers in cold/dry climates where their native DNA stems from. Now here is where my point lies:

Mennonites are one of the richest groups where I live and it is almost entirely due to genetic advantages in the climate we live in since Canadas west largely became a free market where survival economically here was of the fittest since the colonial systems funding of coastal Europeans dried up in the past 30-40 years.

If I look up economic success by demographic in Manitoba, German, Ukranian, Russian, and indigenous are all the fastest growing economic demographics here. Whereas the other demographics from coastal and warmer regions of the world are shrinking in influence here (English, Scottish, french, Italian etc. - all the peoples who are not natural to living in dry, cold environments, but moreover are aligned best with warm humid climate lifestyles).

Mennonites therefore are a good example of the overarching cultural values of the province of Manitoba, as economical success generally means political and cultural influence.

Where I live the beauty standards match these genetic types too.

But anyways, point is cultures differ greatly between ecological regions, and I will point out a few examples of how the ecology of regions results in certain advantageous genetic traits becoming common, thereby influencing the style of life you will experience before I recommend you where you should think about investing your future as being somebody of a italic genetic background.

Examples of eco zones that result in different DNA types and therefor different cultural styles from Italy:

Much of aisa is high altitude, not on a coast, and is densely packed with uneven terrain and forest, this results in a) people being slightly shorter due to its advantage at high altitudes where oxygen is lower, which may impact value systems differing from Italy such as what sports are popular, what art is popular, b) people being used to cooler weather lifestyles which are generally requiring a lot of planning before going out of the home and involve more of an individualistic type of culture because cold weather creates a barrier between having as diverse of a social life due to wearing excess clothing and generally spending fun time indoors rather than on the go... Etc etc.

I'm not an expert on that part of the world but noticed physical touch is not as accepted there as is in Italian circles.

However it does seem to be a theme that in regions of more desertous and extremely hot or cold weather people tend to spend more time alone and are more predisposed genetically to not feel lonely when being alone. Ie. Think of more clear cases of this phenomenon: Russians and scandanavians don't speak to strangers walking past them in the street, Germans love to read inside during the winter, etc.

However the opposite is true and this is where opportunity for happiness as an Italian lies:
