    It’s from when I actually meet you lot. I won’t even date Americans now in my city - it’s just always some drama.

    I’m sure not all Americans are like that and I’ve worked with some really cool ones - no doubt, but there’s definitely a culture of emotional drama that contributes to an unhealthy greater society.

      It’s a lot of Americans to have met to make a blanket statement like you did though.

      I’m sure not all Americans are like that and I’ve worked with some really cool ones - no doubt, but there’s definitely a culture of emotional drama that contributes to an unhealthy greater society.

      Well one thing to understand about America is there’s multiple/many cultures, not just one, and it depends on what region of the country you’re viewing. And then on top of that there’s two or three meta cultures.

      Also, you’re not catching us at our best right now, we are pretty angry at each other here over politics right now, so try to consider that as well.

      No one is perfect 100% of the time.

      Americans you meet

      You’ll find there’s a huge difference in attitude between what I call tourists and travellers.

      Immigrants and expats too.
