5 Things I don't like about Poland or Polish people? wow I must tell you guys that it was hard for me to do this because I truly don't have that many and I also didn't want you guys to ban me from entering the country!
But I am honest always and whenever there is something you really like there is also SOMETHING YOU DON'T LIKE, and today I bring you this episode.
I love you guys, remember to take it lightly, it's all in good fun and not meant to offend anyone or any country, especially my second home: POLSKA! Let me know what you think in the comments!
Pozdrawiam!

That's when it gets complicated. In English and Spanish you have just "friends" or "amigos" and all the people you met in your life just go into that bag, no matter if you went to kindergarten with them, had sex or just buy newspapers in the same kiosk. In Poland and Slavic countries in general we have the whole array of options: przyjaciel, kolega, znajomy etc. Now, it's not that we are short. Our vocab is just more exact ;)

Apparently there is something like genetic memory. I am over 60 and, unfortunately I can see in me lots of the features listed by you. But my daughter is much less affected by that. The worse was my grandmother, I remember her sitting by the kitchen window, sighing, whispering her brother's name. He was killed in Warsaw Uprising. My granny was the only one from the big family who lived to old age.

She took part in Poznań 56, and later comunism took my grandfather his business leaving with 11 kids without livelihood. I remember grandfather as man who sits on his chair and watching ceiling and grandma that never ever smiled in her life. My mother suffer less, but constant poverty is not a life, but rather vegetation. As a kid I remember cold feet in winter while my shoes had holes. I am 30 years old now. They gave me education, 2 foregin languages. I am sucessful programmer now. Its not just my success, but sucrifice of whole family to make this happen, so feeling good about my success is not easy for me. Next generation would be more chearful!

I'm from Poland citizen of the USA and I realized why my parents were always so unhappy and complained so much as I saw growing up,It's because they had a crappy life, poor as heck,were prisoners in Germany during World war II, so its passed onto the next generation, I remember when as kids we weren't allowed to laugh in our home, because we didn't have a reason to laugh according to our parents, but we as kids laughed even if it meant a slap across our face it didn't stop us,we had to really help our mom to find happiness and laugh just to laugh after our dad passed because according to him I shouldn't be laughing and told not to laugh by him and yet I was 50 years old., but my siblings are always laughing and have many friends and we always start up conversations with strangers,so I guess anything is possible.

@Very Polite Duck PL Again, I disagree. It takes many generations for the organism’s response to the circumstances to be inscribed in genes. Poland’s partitioning lasted 123 years, which is exactly four generations. It’s definitely too short a time frame for the genetic drifting on a mass scale to occur.

About the first one - questions like "What's up?" or "How are you?" are not part of the Polish culture in the sense it's not a question you ask out of courtesy, neither is it a question you answer untruthfully as part of said courtesy. Since asking that question is not a matter of courtesy it becomes a genuine question begging for a genuine answer. And that's why you end up having people rant their hearts out.

@ushnikov6807 3 года назад
I am from Poland and number 4 is true. I remember that once I had to organize fire camp in a park. I had organized everything but wood logs. 5 hours before the event I had to change plans and I had written a long message in which I've apologized for the inconvenience and appointment place changes from a park to a pub. I felt uneasy. Once I was on my way home I found some wood logs in a gas station. And I wrote a message again, that we stick to the plan A. No one was making fuss but the feeling of failure especially in the day of the event was underwhelming for me.

Hi! I would like to say that 1 and 3 are conected. Psyhological findings say that we Polish people like to complain because it give us something to bond and you are right it is because of our heritage. We always had something to complain about. Actually when somone complain to you about some delicate metter in their lives (like ilness in family, problems with person you also know etc.) it means that they trust you :) It may sound strange but it is a case. And because of that we are more negative. When you complain soo much it become your second nature but you are right - every generation gets better. Sorry for my English :)

I'm Polish, but I live in the States, but I spent a lot of time in Poland. The first two, it depends what part of the country you're in. In general, I find Poles to be a lot more open than other Europeans. I even saw a Pole invite an American to a birthday party. But I know a lot of the ones in some of the larger cities can be quite rude and cold. The negativity thing is 100% true, and it kind of ties in with the last one. Polish people are very hypocritical in this aspect. They're always complaining about something, and talking about how Poland would be better if it had this or this. However, when foreigners criticize something about Poland, they get extremely defensive, and start shitting on their country. So I'm genuinely surprised that the comments section is so civil. 😂I've also noticed a lot of them feel jealousy and resentment towards Poles who live abroad. The last one is also true. I'm Polish and I voted A. This is one thing about Americans that really pisses me off. Polish people are extremely disciplined. When we make plans, we stick by them, so I've always found it extremely disrespectful when people show up late, or cancel at the last minute, or don't show up without notice. And my American and Latino friends don't understand why I get so angry about this. My professors always thought it was strange that I would show up 15 minutes before an appointment.😂 Another one I've experienced that you didn't mention, is Polish people want payment for EVERYTHING. And a lot of them will try to rip extra money off you if you're a foreigner. If you don't wanna give cash though, a case of beer will do😂

I'm a Pole and I really enjoy watching your videos. They're giving me opportunity to look from other pespective at some behaviors that I've never noticed myself before! I have to agree, we seem to have a bit of trust issues. We were learned by our parents to do not tell people too much because they will or talk about it behind our backs or betray us (for example tell other people our secrets). We also do not like to use words as such as love (kochać) or friend (przyjaciel) so freely, we're kinda keeping them for special ones. With friend it may be like this because you're using it towards lots of people (even just met at the party) while for us it means person who we know for long time and who we trust. People other than that we're calling 'znajomy' or 'kolega' which is more distanced. New generations are more opened to use, for example word 'love', but 'friend' is still kinda 'reserved'. With touch we're also distanced, even towards family members (or at least it is like this in my house). We're hugging for greeting and some people are even kissing cheeks (three times!), but if I would randomly come up to my mom and hug her, she would be alarmed and ask what happened. I never tought about it, but now after watching your videos I see all that little things, that are building our little 'distanced, yet touch starved' culture.

But when it comes to them, first We feel anger, sometimes fear and then boom, we get such energy as after drinking a thousand coffees. And then we do such things that we never dreamed of

As for the laconic answers and the unwillingness to engage in casual conversation, I think you have not yet figured out how to properly approach our compatriots: well, you don't start with a polite smile and a friendly enquiry as you go, oh no. The correct procedure is: you approach, look around, look for something that you don't like and that your potential interlocutor may not like, and THEN you say: "Well, I see they've messed it up" or "Damn, if they dug it up like this, they probably won't bury it until spring". Something like that generally. We love to complain together, it's great for socialising.

2. It's also connected with history - on first english lesson your teacher is explaining question "how are you?" and it totally means nothing for polish people. It's just a waste of our time, because in fact (with some exceptions) me and you don't really care about answer. It's exactly the same like speaking with english guy about weather - waste of a time, especially at work, when your boss from januszex will ask why are u spending so much time for speaking instead of working. If you want to have any relations, just focus on other topics and be sure that other side have a time to speak. Lot of employees have same conditions as in Amazon Warehouses... :) 3. You're right, however it's always better to start day with attitude "it will be a bad day" and next will be surprised :) 4. Nah, it's not the point. It's just about thinking "why he was not able to text me that he won't come?" Good video, cheers

I'm sorry, but I don't agree when you say that Poles hate physical contact. In my family and friends circle, people hug each other. It is true that I have some friends who seem or used to be a bit distant but the most of them give me a hug when we meet.

I'm from Poland so (wow, what a suprise haha) I chose A. Because polish people don't meet new people as easily as for example Latin Americans. They are not usually open to new people. In Poland it's a little weird when you start talking to stranger. So how Poles make new friends? Nobody knows that😂.

Polish men have this tendency to negate all that is too emotional and ab-normal. Fear of being or be perceived as abnormal abnormal is the most common toxic trait among Polish men and in culture in general. You have to maintain normality in order to be accepted as someone 'cool". But "don't be too cool", "it's too weird", etc. It's kind of grotesque and funny if you observe that from a certain angle, especially in a grocery store or during a party. There is a slight change in that part of Polish culture, but it is so tiny, that I don't think anyone from outside could even see it. It still remains a social norm/ standard in many places.

After living over 20 years in Asia, I must say that the melancholy and negativity is something I really notice when going to Poland. It feels even worse during winter, when the weather is gloomy. It's definitely something that should change in Polish culture. Luckily it looks like the younger generation is upbeat, optimistic and cheerful. C

After a few years spent in England, I began to understand the cultural differences between us Poles and the rest of the world. We are indeed unique and we need a generational change, but as a Pole I started to be proud of many things when I left the country. What I don't like about Poles is that even if they have no bad intentions, their mere presence puts pressure on me.

From the Polish perspective: - melancholy - it's a historical defence mechanism. Poland in last 200 years was fuc.. We were under occupation so much time. That were hard times for the people. We are 100% free only for the last 30 years. And we remember from our experience or from out parents, grandparents tales how it was then. So we are coded (subconcieus) to see everything in the negative. That way world has hard time to surprise us in the negative. Its like - no matter what happens - if it is anything better than the worst scenario - we see it as a positive outcome. - shortness - yup. Why bother with supperficial bullshit. you tell/do what you have to in the minimum and thats it. But that does not mean that if you ask for help - a Pole will not go out of his way to help. It was like that with Ukraine. When people heard about the refugees - they asked - what do they need ? Ok. And they went and got what they need. No chitchat. And I mean it literally. My house is 100 m from Ukrainian refugee center in Przemyśl. - negativity - nope - it's simple sincerity - some cultures are sugercoting everything. We are telling what we think. You said it - younger generations are more pisitive. Because now they are living a better life. Sorry - but how cheerfull can somebody be living on 1600 PLN a month ? Who can't afford things that for a "western" people are normal ? - lack of flexibility - like helll no. Yes - we are pessimists - and with that there comes one more thing - be suspect the worst outcome - so we ALWAYS plan 3-4 versions of outcome to be prepared for anything that happens. The problem you described is that we are precise - If I tell my boss that I will finish something at 15.55 - it WILL be finished. No mather what. If I tell you I will meet you at 12.23 - I will be there 10 minutes early and waiting. The problem is that some cultures lack that precision - they are 10 min late becouse they do not care. And as you are talking that Latino are "flexible" - sorry but in my work in IT - I worked with some people from Spain. Maybe in a party they know what to do when theyr partner won't show, but in any proffessional situation when something unexpected happens - they are useless - they are not prepared for anything unexpected, no plan, no "outside of a box" thinking. They do random things and in 99% cases - it only makes things worse. - self-criticism - yup. It's a problem. We can't present ourselves like other countries/people. We can't advertise ourselves to other people the way other can and are seen ar worse. Hell, I saw it at work. people from USA were getting all the glory for a project even as most of the work was done by the polish team only because they adverise themselves better so were seen in better light. And it connects with the shortness and negivity. sorry for the long text. btw. your content is very good. Keep the good work.

First, it's not "negativity". We are just well informed or have centuries long experience. Second, it's not "melancholy". As you probably know, we do not smile without obvious reason. What you label as "melancholy" is in 99% one of the fallowing cases: 1. We are just replaying the fresh past and think what would be done or could happen in a different way. It's like analyzing all (OK, just few) alternative realities to be better prepared for similar situations. This is true also about alternative versions of our future. We try to imagine what will happen, and because most of the exploited versions of future are thus predicted by us, we are very unhappy when the one not predicted happens, because it means a huge waste of our time and our failure on making good predictions. When you say you will come, 50% of time (if not more) to that moment will be devoted for thinking about that meeting that or another way. This is especially true about women, but not only about them. 2. We clear our minds and watch how grass and trees grow or how it rains/snows. Watching time passing is part of how we experience living in that time and how we watch time flow starting from the past eons. That's how we connect to the nature (whenever we are) or to our national (pre)history. Poles are feral people living in the caves of steel and glass and we have genetic memory passed down from our ancestors (which is very memory-consuming, so we have less memory for the present). This is especially true about men, but not only about them. During the both processes we are emotionally invariant, because we are not present in the place and time you'd expect we are. . P.S. We all love you, Vigo's Dad, as you are.

Thank God for the younger generation. Most of the Polish people have negative thinking because they get into politics and follow politics too much. All of them talk politics, nothing else. Sometime Vodka. They are well informed more about the bad things, than about the good things. Many Polish positive thinking people, leave the country because there is too much of it there.

There are three options when it comes to complaining. When everything is okay - we complain A LOT. About everything. When it's getting worse - we stop complaining - we move towards "shortness" and effectiveness in helping the situation - so we can start complaining again. When shit hits the fan and situation gets nightmarish - we get this psychopathic cheerfulness - and we even start to say "It will be better dude, no worry. Everything is going to be okay". Current situation with Ukraine is us going from option one towards two - and in the hot zones some people are already full blasting the THREE.

Regarding melancholy, it could be also related with our weather. As our polish singer "Kazik" was singing (its from year 2000): Polacy są tak agresywni, a to dlatego, że nie ma słońca nieomal przez siedem miesięcy w roku, a lato nie jest gorące tylko zimno i pada zimno i pada na to miejsce w środku Europy gdzie ciągle samochody są kradzione, a waluta to polski złoty Btw, I dont know if you did that already, but you should do some episode about our polish music. And not current one, but about some old rock band, that was trying to somehow fight with communism with their lyrics and avoid censorship, like Kult, Kazik, Perfect, Budka suflera, Oddział zamknięty and so on. Im really curious your opinion about this music (maybe its not your type). Their lyrics in most cases very vell describe polish reality 30-40 years ago and they are so damn good. These bands maybe are not so popular abroad, but they are part of our culture and everybody in Poland know them.

@lanthiandokenhennes1805
@lanthiandokenhennes1805 2 года назад
2:09 - Possible. But I can't say that about all or most of us. I can definitely say that about myself and I know what is the reason for it - competition: I can't stop looking at what others have, what I can have in the future, or I could have in the past. I always want to have more, to be better and to be able to do something better than I can do now or others can do. The more people I see who can do something that I can't do, the weaker / worse I feel than them. Many Poles, including myself, often complain about the fact that they do not have something, they could have or cannot have something that others have. At work, for example, I can't stand the fact that there may be something I can't do. I feel like an obstacle rather than a help, so I try to change it by constantly improving my skills. I write about it mainly because each of the people in my family is very similar in this respect and I do not think that we are "uniquely" unique.

Nie należy porównywać krai wolnych i krai które tę wolność miały zabraną, po okupancji pozostają ślady. Ludzie przystosowóją się do danej sytuacji i te starsze pokolenie ma te ślady na sobie, w pokoleniu Z (w Polsce) już tego tak bardzo nie widać.

True, the negativity is a terrible feature, very draining. My distant family came for a quick visit yesterday and most of the conversations were about bad things from years ago, reminiscenting about accidents, cheating husbands and bad peaople who caused harm one way or another (over a piece of cake and a cup of tea)... I tried steering the convo to more funny subjects but it instantly reverted to the less pleasant stuff. I used to be that way too but Canada fixed that for me. If someone asked you there "how are you?" the proper answer was fine/great/not too bad etc. Here it's like an inventation: "please let me know what kind of nasty cr*p has been troubling you lately". Ocassionally I still need to control my urge to complain but it'snowhere near as bad as it used to be.
