IS SWEDEN BORING?

It depends who you ask since everyone thinks differently but overall Swedes are more reserved then other countries if you exclude perhaps the other Nordic countries including Greenland
The picture above is just one example but tons of pictures like that can be found HERE and HERE

Like with any other country you are born and all is well
As a kid/teenager it is not hard to have fun no matter where you live but once you become an adult in Sweden its another story

You live life with the same 2-5 friends from school and for the most part never make new friends as adults meaning that if you are an expat in Sweden you will mostly only have expat friends
The same goes for immigrants
Many foreigners (non-native Swedes) look at Swedes as being good looking but boring people who don`t really stand up for themselves and still believe Sweden is the greatest country on Earth yet really don`t know anything about the world
Some people might claim that if you try hard enough to integrate by for example learning Swedish, learning the Swedish norms and to a degree the culture you will make friends easier and this might be true for some but overall all it will do is that Swedes will think better of you compared to many immigrants (mostly Muslims) who do not integrate that well but thinking better of you and trying to be your friend are two different things
It is not uncommon when strangers have to speak like at work that they will start to talk about the weather
Swedes love to complain about the weather, you never heard?
You cannot just start talking to a stranger without any purpose and invite him/her to coffee or dinner.
It is considered weird and in some cases a violation of personal space.

As one person put it
"Just moving from Denmark, where nothing works to Sweden, where everything works was a big cultural transition for me. What I sometime miss...is that people can get so isolated that they shun social contact with everyone. Also many of these countries can be so regulated that they really quash all form of creativity and initiative from individual citizens."

Sweden for the most part has always been a high standard of living country meaning that most things work
This means that you do not really need to rely on other people and therefor don`t get that close connection with strangers that you perhaps would in poorer countries

On the bus/train Swedes make sure to put bags on the seat next to them so no stranger will sit and talk
When Swedes wait at the bus stop make they always make sure they have at least ½ meters between them

Sweden even has LAGOM and JANTELAGEN for a reason

ARE SWEDES REALLY THAT BAD?
Its called stereotypes but they exist for a reason
Every person is different but overall they are like this just as the average American don`t know much about the world but are very open, friendly and social

Higher standard of living and a society where everything seems to work perhaps but that doesnt make the Swedish people any less reserved

One good thing is that according to Wikipedia 94% of people in Sweden has internet so a good way to try and meet Swedes if you live here would be online

CONCLUSION
Are Swedes really boring?, Is it just the older generation that are boring?, Maybe you like the way the Swedes are?, Only boring in the cold winter month?...

Whatever you might think it`s another thing to add to your so called list when figuring out what to make of Sweden
