It does go a bit far and cause tall-poppy syndrome.

But it's not too bad, and America has something similar, personally I love my daughter being brought up here because you see young girls walking around almost alone, and they're not afraid, you don't see that in America because obviously they'd be terrified of being attacked. Here the fear is just gone, they feel safe to be independent.

Having lived and worked in several countries, I think the concept of Jantelagen is rooted in the Protestant Reformation more than it being a specifically Nordic thing. Not only does it fit well with the general premise of the Protestant worldview, all countries that were early converts seem to have ingrained that particular perspective (under various names) in their collective cultures.

I'm American so for here I'm super loud, obnoxious, awkward and even rude, but that's because we're conditioned to be outgoing and friendly, while Swedes are far more reserved and communicate in subtlety.

Also there's a "right way" to do everything, and you just need to know it, I'm still learning.

I'm really feeling my autism here.

I never could understand ABBA either.

I did watch most of Wallander and a number of the Nordic Noir shows, but they got depressing and killed off my favorite people :p
