Americans and Antisocial Personality Disorder.

Every time I interact with American tourists or travel to the US, 90% of the interactions I have with these people end in an argument is some other unpleasant experience. They seem to get really upset if you say something either a.) they don't agree with or b.) they don't understand. While other cultures have people that just brush these things off and turn the other cheek, Americans seem to be extremely vengeful and emotional, wishing bad things on people that they, again, either don't agree with or don't understand. Most of the time it's annoying but sometimes it gets scary (during my last trip, some black guy started mumbling profanities at me because I was speaking another language to someone).

I do not notice this behavior with other cultures. Americans are the only ones who do this.

Has anyone else here had a similar experience with Americans? Is it something to do with their notoriously bad parenting/schooling or is it more of a medical illness? Is it safe to safe that most Americans have ASPD?

    If anything, Americans come across as far friendlier to strangers than other people. Europeans, particularly Meds, are always complete fricking weirdos with as much bottled aggression as the average Alb*nian. Anglos are as rude and impersonal as the Japanese, until they get drunk. Germoids are too passive-aggressive, and it is even worse for scandinavians, and slavs are the missing link.

      What the frick? How high are you? Literal opposite my guy. I hear it often from portuguese people who emigrate to the US, that it's very hard to make friends and people are cold af. Meds are usually very welcoming and warm, we have tons of tourists around.

        Since when were the Portuguese considered Mediterranean people? Here is a list of Mediterranean countries

        >Albania, Algeria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Cyprus, Egypt, France, Greece, Israel, Italy, Lebanon, Libya, Malta, Monaco, MonteBlack, Morocco, Slovenia, Spain, Syria, Tunisia, and Turkey

        Of those, I have interacted with people from Turkey, Croatia, Bosnia, Albania, Egypt, Greece, Israel, and Italy. They all were very strange in one form or another and some showed anger management problems due to extremely minor issues. For instance, I was smoking hookah with a couple of dudes from Egypt and one of them flipped out at the hostess because the AC was a little too low, resulting in all of us getting kicked out of the place. One common problem all of these people had was that they only made eye contact when they were engaging in interactions with nefarious intent. That ranged from a rigged bar game to shady "business practices". Ever met an honest Turkish drug dealer? I sure haven't, but they all have this look in their eyes when they try to scam me that I now know right off the bat.

          >While not having a coastline in the Mediterranean, Portugal, Andorra, San Marino, Vatican City, Kosovo, Serbia, Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Jordan are often included on the list of Mediterranean countries.[2][3] Such classification is mostly based on their geographical, economic, geopolitical, historical, ethnic and cultural (language, art, music, cuisine) ties to the region as a whole. Other factors include climate and flora.
          Just use google. We're right next to Spain and we're not meds? We share huge amounts of culture, language and cuisine with Italy and Spain and we're not meds?

          The US can be called many things but in no universe does someone come from Europe to the US and believe that WE are the cold ones. Get a grip.

          Not 1 or 2 people, but many have said that. Your country is massive, full of imigrants, you kick your kids out of the house at 18, you have less vacation time and are known to have a very "I got mine" mentality. You get a grip.
          I have a pub just down the street where I'm from, I can walk there and chat. In the US you'd have to drive to find anything close to that.
          I'm not talking about your tourist experience here, I'm talking about staying here and making friends.

                These threads always suck because euro's only go to like 2-3 mega cities that hollywood told them was super great and cool, find a dumpster fire, and then proceed to flip shit about that being all the US. Euro's generally have no way to hire a car to go explore and have to rely on the reasons we don't use public transportation a lot and own a car so they see the shit.

                Guam is perfectly safe what are you talking about? Also pretty hard to get robbed in Wyoming. Felt safe last time I was in the mountains of Utah as well.

                No. Americans barely leave their own country and as this thread shows, literally believe at times they are the most modern country in the world. Despite having cities in a state of borderline third world level. But I guess most anons wouldn't know with Hollywood and the internet being their only source of international culture.

        I think it goes back to how Europeans are sheltered and spoiled- things couldn't go too wrong here, they can't imagine a poor outcome of an interaction or conflict, so what's a little insolence or rudeness between strangers?
        Meanwhile in the states there's an ever present threat of a negative situation spiraling out of control and ruining your life.

        I've been doing the digital nomad thing in europe for about six months, and my main takeaway is that europeans have a childlike mindset to life, they have no idea how little they understand about the world and life outside of their little subsidized haven. The difficult thing is it's paired with a bizarre smugness, as if they were somehow more worldly for their sense of superiority and lack of life experience. That misplaced confidence is a little irritating, but whatever- the chicks are eager, the beer is cheap, and the food is decent.

    As an american, I can safely say that there is something mental wrong with us. we get bitter over pretty mild shit and in general distrust anything seeming like authority. From government, to a store manager, and to a fricking school teacher. On top of that we live by prison rules of 'join a gang or die'. Seriously, if you are not part of a group you really are considered dead, and entering a new group can be very hard unless you completely move. I can say that we are a lost cause unless we get some dramatic changes to our culture. that being said, you get used to it and find some positives here and there.

    Black people that you encounter on the streets of American cities are very xenophobic and scared of the unknown, hence the all of the anti-Asian hate crimes American cities have been facing lately. Anecdotal, but I had an autistic coworker who got punched in the face walking down the street by a black guy because he happened to be wearing one of those silly animal hats on the night a furry convention was happening in the neighborhood. The black guy called him a "fricking furry" and just nailed him. Now, I have legit black friends who are cool and normal people, but as a whole, they really don't like deviation from their own cultural norms.

    I don't know. I'm American but I live overseas and have spent much of my adult life abroad.

    For years, I hated my own country. Now that I'm older, I miss a lot of things about it. I will admit that I think Americans can be more aggressive than other people. People are quick to escalate arguments, and even many middle-aged men are willing to have fist fights--or worse--over trivial miscommunications and disagreements. This is especially apparent on the road. People will become borderline homicidal if:
    >someone tries to pass them
    >someone initiates an improper lane change but corrects him or herself
    >someone goes too fast or too slow
    >someone violates a traffic law or unwritten rule in a very minor way

    Oh well. I'm almost 30, and I can't remember the last time I had any sort of "confrontation" in my own country. I think a middle-aged White guy in Chicago wanted to fight me because he was drunk; I have
    no idea why. I just asked how old he was, and if he woke up in the morning and thought, "I'm a 52-year-old man, and today I'm going to get piss-drunk and try to start a fight with someone half my age." Surprisingly, he shut up and backed down quickly.

    People are otherwise usually cordial or friendly. I stayed "Down South" for a while, and rednecks would always strike up conversations about my out-of-state motorcycle plates. I didn't always understand what the frick they were saying, but it was usually friendly patter or banter ("yee-haw, look at dem clouds! the devil's beatin' his wife, a-yup! har-har-har, y'all be careful on that bike... I used to have me a Harley 20 years back, but my goddamn prostitute meth-head ex-wife done got pregnant with her third child and made me sell it, now I'm on my fifth testicular surgery and...")

      This is spot on, some Americans seem to have trouble handling disagreements and trivial conflicts can escalate in ways you rarely see in other cultural contexts, simply because getting upset in such a situation means losing face, and getting aggressive is taboo as frick.

        I only mentioned it because someone said it to me when I was riding my motorcycle from Arkansas up to Chicago. I ran into a pretty big rain storm over the Missouri border and had to shelter under a gas station awning for a half-hour.

        I wouldn't have had any idea what he was saying if I hadn't read the Wikipedia article on Southern American English, kek.

    Depends where in America they're from. Most Americans you run into overseas are from the cities, ones from small towns or states you've probably never heard of are pretty based. Practically all American women are scum though. Still not as bad as mainland chinks and Israelis though.

    I am not enamored with the USA by any means but I will take Americans over Southern Europeans and Australians who daftly try to make out with my girlfriend at hostels with their unbelievably moronic, cheesy pick up tactics from a twenty year old Neil Strauss book. My countrymen are not above this type of behavior entirely either, in fact the USA is kind of the progenitor of this crap, but at least its a little more quixotic and less aggressively stupid from Americans. I cannot believe the shit I have had to endure and listen to in common rooms around the world from some overdressed loser from Queensland or Northern Italy who has consumed a little too much propaganda about the value of an accent.

    Everyone I can generally get along with; its just this one behavior that really poisons a social situation since its just uncomfortable for all parties involved to witness hyper aggressive yet hyper incompetent romantic advances on a clearly taken woman. It has invariably been Australians and Southern Europeans who attempt it.

    I don't know for sure but as a Canadian from northern central onterrible, whenever I try to strike up a conversation with American tourists they never wanna talk. It's weird. I have difficulty having a 5 minute conversation with one, whereas any other Canuck I can talk to for a long time so long as they aren't a citiot.

    Is this just because life is faster paced in America and they feel they don't have the time to chat?

    I'm an American and I'll tell you first hand I think we're the "best" Anglo country for women, but ONLY if you're also an American.

    I've generally found Canadian/Irish women to be extremely literal and humorless and cold generally. Same with Aus/NZ women - they tend to be bitingly sarcastic and shallow. UK is slightly better in general (and no exp. with South Africans) but...

    With American women there's just a lot more warmth. Say what you want about lower IQs in general (true) or more consumerism (true) or more political (true) but there's often a genuine commitment to warmth and humor, and that extends to even immigrant populations which grow up here, especially Hispanic. There's also a certain brand of American "realism" which is not bitingly cynical like the British - it remains hopeful. That all sounds vague but people forget the USA is still the culture with the highest white birthrate and marriage rate out of all the other Anglo countries - if you're looking to find a long-term partner the USA is probably the best place. There's something to be said about the American melting pot culture too. Yes every city is (to an extent) culturally homogenous but that can really be oddly comforting. It creates a common set of experiences.

    All in all I like being American. Do I like the government and the media? No. But the people of the country, in general (and I'm excluding primarily violent inner-city ghettos of blacks) are pretty genuine people who are easy to get along with.

      Sorry friend but the US divorce rate is stuck at around 50%. 50! That is a lot higher than other anglos. Even stats withstanding, look how bitter and angry anons are towards women. 50% of anons are American out of a few million users. Speaks volumes.

      I meant the attitude towards guns. Canadians won't have a meltdown and scream about their ammendment rights. Also far, far safer than the US. People outside the American continent describe Canada as "America without the crap parts".

        Actually most of Europe has not only a lower marriage rate but a higher divorce rate than the USA. Is ~53% divorce good? hell no. but that has more to do with how alimony laws in the West incentivize divorce. France/Spain for example have even worse marriage laws and a higher divorce rate than the USA

          I appreciate your attempt to have a genuine discussion and I acknowledge that yes some countries in Europe have a higher divorce rate than in the US. However the statement that the majority of Europe does is strictly not true as shown in pic related.

          But to throw the US a bone, and a fairly large one at that: the divorce rate is far, far lower for more professional level citizens like doctors (sub 10% roughly), its just the middle/lower middle and below kind of crator.

              One of many factors yes. While the internet isn't representative of all members of the pop, the general attitude men and women have of each other in the US, as seen here, is borderline sociopathic and I mean that using the actual term.

            a large majority of social problems in the US stem from black people, specifically crime and drugs. not universally, but keep in mind if there were zero black people in America today the murder rate would drop below Switzerland (actual statistic). Additionally you're right about the marriage disparity, but, again, that's because America unfortunately has some of the most anti-male marriage, alimony, child support, and paternity laws in the whole world. Many American women make MORE money from a divorce per month than from a job, once alimony and child support and all the support programs for "single mothers" and women are factored in.

            It's a pretty bad state of affairs, legally, to be married as a man in the USA. Again though, that's not as much a comment on the *women* of the USA as much as it is of our government and legal system.

      Because Americans are extremely ignorant of other cultures to the point of parody, at times. Are there educated and grounded ones? Yes. But does that make up the majority? No.

      Their opinion means less because as here and other parts of the internet show, Americans hate being "challenged" despite not actually being able to articulate a point without either demonizing the other person (Black person, israelite, commue, chink) or having a meltdown.

      Can confirm. Had Germans telling me that Trump is the leader of the Republican party and that he will install his daughter as the next Republican nominee for president.

      And I was just like "No, the next Republican president will probably be DeSantis." And they were just like "That is a nobody, Trump is the leader of the party and he will elect his daughter to continue his dynasty." They were just confidently telling me I'm wrong and that they've done their research on it, even though this is something nobody has ever spoken about before in America. They had never heard of DeSantis so clearly he is not even in the picture.

    As an American I have only ever got in one argument abroad. It was with a guy from Australia who insisted Americans need to do more about gun control. He argued that Americans just need to give up their guns like they did in Australia.

    I could not get it through his thick head that guns were an everyday part of american culture and simply asking americans to give them up would be entirely fruitless and pointless. It is literally in our constitution. He threatened to have me kicked out of the hostel for being racists because I didn't support radical gun reform in America. He stated "you support the killing of black Americans if you dont support gun control"

    They are so young up on 'face' that direct criticism is unheard of and an ego shattering event that happens only a couple of times in their life....until they encounter an American who casually dresses them down in public in front of their peers for some slight, real or imagined it does not matter.

    All of Asia except Philippines is like this (where they enjoy being publically humiliated due to catholic religion).

    Americans complaining about not what getting what they think they paid for or deserve is this massive faux pas that asians cannot comprehend, since they learn to just put up with it and nod along and pretend it's all wonderful.

    In the USA Americans are incredibly blunt to each other and also divided on many issues. It's a huge country and eurogays cannot comprehend the idea that being a weird gay in Texas earns a different reaction than being a weird gay in New York.

    Thing is Americans don't need you. You need them. That dynamic taints all interactions with them forever since you begin from a position of weakness.

    If you are eurogay your defense and economy relies on Americans you hate. If you are asian your economy relies on Americans. If you are south American who is going to consume your drug economy and take your poor migrants if not America?

    America is the most important country in the world. They know it. You know it. So you always start out with this chip on your shoulder when you interact with them, like you have something to prove.

    They can tell, and that's why they are shitty to you.

      Notice how your post gets zero (you) because it's so fricking delusional, I don't know where to begin. America mutts are these poorly dressed, fat disgusting globina looking mutt lumbering around, poor AND delusional.

      Your mutt has no real accomplishment, so he leans on and self identities as being amurrrican, that's like an Americna N-WORD being a proud black because he was born into it.

    Ok, so you're just a rude homosexual. I would just tell you straight to your face to speak English around me because it's rude and if you didn't, I'd tell you to go frick yourself too. I'm a Chad though so maybe this guy wasn't as assertive. Doesn't change the fact that you're a homosexual who's too scared to say something to that guy's face

    Even by SighSee standards, this is an exceptionally cursed thread. Nothing of value has been said in 160 posts.

    I work at an airport car rental, so I get all types, and I can easily say that I just find most foreigners a little annoying.
    From overly bubbly Germs and Nords, stuck up French and Anglos, or Hispanics that refuse to even try to learn the de facto native language of the place they're visiting, and don't even get me started on Pajeets.
    Unironically the only foreigners that I've actually enjoyed conversing with both occupationally and cordially are Slavs/Eastern Euros; even dated a Romanian woman met through work. The Asian tourists mostly just stick to themselves and don't talk at all until necessary.

    >They seem to get really upset if you say something either a.) they don't agree with or b.) they don't understand.
    About half my interactions on SighSee are like that. What's funny is that they often make up arguments where there is none. The cognitive dissonance is crazy.

    This will end up being just another thread in the archive that tells the truth about the USA, but no one ever tries to fix things.

    Any time there is someone acting loud and obnoxious anywhere I have travelled, 90% of the time it is an american.

    Was out last night and this dude dressed like your typical american tourist was walking around stumbling drunk with an obvious prostitute screaming about how everyone else sucks because he gets to have sex with this girl and nobody else gets to. He stumbles out in to the street, gets hassled by the police, ends up getting away with it because he just throws money at the cops. He stumbles home with the prostitute and that was all I saw.

    There's a local lady here who walks around with one foot (other foot is a flat stub but she manages to walk around on it). The dude was basically making fun of her and asking her "how the frick do u walk around on one leg??? that's so fricking weird bro!!" I wanted to knock him out.

    It's not Americans who argue, it's the Dutch who always seem to bring up US politics to argue about.

    bruh being a dick doesn't automatically mean you have ASPD, it's constant maladaptive behavior that is often pretty extreme and usually ends up with some kind of distress for the sufferer and the people around them, in some cases even jail.
