Is this really true? Because the more Inwatch your videos the more I beliebe Holland is heaven for Aspies
My greatest fear
Does anyone know if this guy has more Eefje skits? I only know of one where the child is called Eefje. My name is Eefje and this is my favorite creator and I wonder what else he made with "me in it"
I'm Canadian and not American but I feel like since facebook came the word friend has changed. (For those who dont know, adding a person on facebook is called "friending"on facebook) As fb grew in popularity, the term friend changed to mean any acquaintance ever that you had an enjoyable conversation with. I remember when it was hilarious say you had 400 friends on fb, but now friend just means person in your local proximity who isnt a complete ass-hat.
Last night my husband described to me the different levels of neighbour friendships. I thought one of my neighbours was super close to her other neighbour, but aparently they are just acquaintances who chat over the fence, drink coffee together, help eachother with the kids and yard work.
Honestly, from those skits Dutch people remind me of autistic people with the literary understanding of what is said and clear cut honesty. Really appreciate it to be honest
Ja niet, stel jezelf maar voor
Your videos started popping up after I visited Netherlands and they’ve really been making me chuckle 🥰 you’ve highlighted everything I love about Dutch people 😆
The title of 'best friend' carries a lot of weight and people's expectations of it can be so different. 😅
Ge wel dig!@
them: "oh, we're such good friends." me: "aaaahh, we're more like acquaintaces really"
I'm Dutch☺️
De level van sarcasme 🤣🤣🤣🤣heerlijk
Me realizing I made a best friend after literally knowing a guy for over 12 years, hanging out all through high-school, uni, first jobs.
When I watch Catfish on MTV I'm also surprised that people in the USA say they have a relationship and want to live together without even seeing each other in real life. Maybe it's not that common in the Netherlands because the distance to travel is much shorter here.
Which friend zones are there:
The awkwardness Denise felt 😂😂 totally felt that, imagine witnessing it 😂😂😂 🎶 Awesome 🎶 😂
To be honest, the Dutch only appear honest and direct to over the top Americans or other cultures where the social interactions are completely scripted. You come home from a very very very cold funfair when you expect the Dutch to be honest and direct all the time. Honest and blunt are two very different things. Just like polite and kind.
the polite exaggerated smiling from denise is so accurate
The dutch dont really do friends in general. The two tiers are: people they kept hanging out after school stopped making them and acquaintances with benefits
There can be only one…
Hahaha it's also cultural/semantic I guess. An American class mate of mine once referred to us as friends, and I was surprised because dude and I were seated next to each other for a couple of classes and chatted a little bit. That's all. That makes him barely an aquansintansance (English and its gd spelling i stg) but I fortunately had the realisation that Americans are always over the top and everybody's friend before I said anything lol
A term like best friend is too over the top
xD
The ability to capture this level of awkwardness in a scripted video in which you play all of the characters takes some skill
Dit zou ik ook kunnen doen 😂. Echt erg.
lol Seinfeld worthy awkwardness 😂
Do dutch people just not believe that something can be the best version of itself
