I like the distinction between "listen" and "interrupt" cultures. In interrupt cultures, interrupting is seen as engaging with speaker, while keeping

Interesting that the “nicest” part of the country (Midwest) has lots of Scandinavian influence.

New England (within the US) falls more in the coconut side. The adage "kind but not nice" is very common here.

I’m Brazil I was often told Americans don’t make enough small talk and are too direct which is the only place I’ve heard this sentiment

The thing about the US is that it’s so big there’s some variety. /most/ of it is peach but places like New England are definitely more coconut

I’d posit the the “Seattle freeze” is really just a (Nordic influenced) coconut culture as seen by a peach culture country

Yeah but coconut’s aren’t soft or sweet on the inside. 😅They are dry and nutty

but I mean : why would you want to say anything personal to a stranger? I've been wronged by best friends why trusting a stranger out of nowhere

I'm from New Jersey, & when I went to Paris, I thought Parisians were just as friendly & helpful as New Yorkers! I had a lovely time. 🥰

As an American who lives in South Africa, I’m quite surprised by the idea that it’s a coconut culture. People here are very friendly
