I hope you're all right.
Latvians themselves often reproach themselves for their cultural tendencies of introversion, the type of personality that prefers solitude, calm and reflection.
As dilasir from bbc.com Monday (29/07/2018), the country is capitalized in Riga is very calm and peaceful. Christine Ro, journalist of bbc.com expressed her experience when visiting the country, "When we were on a train journey, I and my friends took turns admiring the scenery around and playing a game.We were excited, shouting answers, then we realized we were one the only person in the train compartment who speaks. " Philip Birzulis, a tour guide who moved to Latvia in 1994, was surprised to see some Latvians would cross the street to avoid passing others.
I noticed that people are making this decision on how to avoid each other about 5-10m before, he said. Not to mention the habits of the Latvians who even willingly wait for his neighbors to go first in order to avoid face to face.
These habits occur due to several factors such as the state condition that there is a lot of dense forest and low population density, so the Latvians are not used to the presence of many people. In addition, being chatty all the time is also considered an arrogance over time.
