It's just because in Denmark is not important, who You are by profession, how high position You work at, neither how educated and skilled You are, but what's really essential ; is how You are deeply in Your heart, how good human being You are. That counts the most.

As a Danish person, I can say this is absolutely true, nothing turns me off more, than listening to someone telling me how great they are. If you're really great, I'll notice it on my own, I don't need you to tell me. Another side of this, at least among the people in my social circle, is a general discomfort with compliments. Sure it's nice to hear someone point out your finer qualities, but I always get uncomfortable and unsure how to respond, because acknowledging a compliment feels like bragging.

Ouch you nailed that one straight on. As a Dane I can agree to this. If someone brags like described or in similare fashion, then I would find them shallow, uninnteresting and insecure about themselves. I would absolutely be polite, and me personally would turn it up to a sickly degree and most likely garnish that polite with some sarcasm and then see how fast I could get away from the person and never see them again. So yes. I'd avoid such a person and situation.

Janteloven is not a part of danish culture or a real law. It comes from a book by Aksel Sandemose called En flygtning krydser sit spor from 1933. I think very few danes know about this book. But the Jantelov is a good reminder about not putting other people down who has big dreams and ambitions, how some feels better by holding others down so they feel better. Interesting thing is you can make an opposite of the jantelov and it is just as bad. Mindsets described in Jante's law does exists among danes but i am sure it does so in other cultures to.

@@JCboerlum that's actually not true... there are 10 commandments of Jante's Law and that one is not one of them.

"Du skal ikke tro, at du er klogere end os." "Du skal ikke bilde dig ind, at du er bedre end os." "Du skal ikke tro, at du ved mere end os." "Du skal ikke tro, at du er mere end os."

Could not find your video about "Janteloven". I totally disagree with most of the comments about "Janteloven". Truely the term comes from a book by Axel Sandemose. And ever since he wrote this book the term has been used to degrade danes and danish culture. I truely believes danes admires people who really stand out. We are just realy sceptic toward people who brags. "Seeing is believing". We simply want to see some facts before we trust your words.

I agree, the difference is very much in the presentation. It is okay to be proud of what you have achieved. It is true, we don't like people bragging, it is pretty off putting. But there is a differens in presenting yourself as a CEO of a big company, and bragging about being a CEO of a big company. I guess the difference is relevance within the context, and if you think it makes you feel better and more important then others. The CEO might be the big guy in many ways. But in general, the company will run just fine if he is gone for 2 weeks with no replacement. But is the cleaning staff is gone for 2 weeks, with no one to stand in for them, that will be a completely different story

Mostly Danes don't look down on you for your job. No-one looks down on sanitation workers for example. It's honorable as long as you are doing something useful to society. However, when you are doing a job that is considered more an annoyance than something useful, then we are much less appreciative. Ask a Dane what they think of telemarketers or traffic wardens (parkerings vagter).

The difference as @Tobias Høier poits out is very important. I'm from Jutland, so the "humble-pie" is a wellknown and strong culturally cultivated perspective, almost instinctive. However, a job welldone - is admired as well, but the wording soo understated, as to not actually express admiration at all: "..damn...that could be worse!" etc. I think it's because Danes generally infer something directly challenging and aggressive in explicit and continued selfpromotion, that we feel somehow has to meet and live up to - and most Danes don't want too open a competitive edge in relations. They want a relaxed good time with people close and competition for outsiders, you know - "hygge". In reality though, I actually don't think Danes are really humble - we are quite proud of whatever we value, but simply a bit uncomfortable sticking out too much ;-). Also due to the infeered judging of selfpromotion/suspision of bragging, we kind of miss the aspect of healthy celebration of one self and achievements and thats quite a loss. It took me a long time to not get instinctively triggered myself in relations with friends from other cultures. Friends from the US especially were downright exhausting to be around with their constant stream of amaizing! fantastic! perfect! Lol! When everything up there, nothing really is - so it came across as just untrustworthy noise. Thank God for travels, the internet and human capacity to learn :-D. Ahh well..that ran a bit away, he.

I need to say something about this. When a child excels at school, even without bragging, he is slowly left out. Danes don't really like someone who is above the average of the rest (as a unit, for example the whole class, not just themselves). I am facing the same situation at work, from some of my colleagues who seem to see me competitively (although I work in a different field than them). The rest embrace me and even recognize that I am really good at my job (although it took them a year). Despite that everyone is friendly (most of the time).

En pralrøv - an bragging-ass, is a danish expression that really point to how how people view bragging people. However it is important to see the difference between bragging and being proud of achievements

True, but honestly. Does any person in the world like a bragging person? I mean, what am i as the "receiver" of the bragging supposed to do with the information? To me - and I guess a lot of ppl around the world - money, job and status does not define your worth as a person.

Braggring is considered negative.. However mentioning facts in context is not bragging - thats where I feel the difference lies. Bragging is in my opinion often related with: "Arrogance, not interested in other people, greed". Mentioning facts in context could be: "I can't really speak to that as I am CEO and make a good living. Please elaborate on your opinion... ". Danish people do respect status and are generally willing to learn from the best. However that dosen't trump awful maners or rude behavior (most of the time). I also want to believe that this is'nt unique to Danish people :) Have a nice day folks!

I think the best way to put it is: The danes are a very humble and proud people. We are proud of what we do etc, but also very humble to others. and people bragging, it kinda hits our pride a bit. so we tend to say, sure good for you. But mostly it comes down to people bragging, fair enough, but let us see then, one thing is you are bragging about it, but show us. But mostly dont brag. The danes really hate people bragging and will find the dumbest ways just to stop talking to you. you can brag if you are a friend, but a complete stranger, no thank you.

And please don't upset a drunk Dane, just ignore the person and stay at a healthy length from that person.. It's seldom a Dane becomes overly drunk in public, but when they do it's probably because they are upset in the first place, and you never want to escalate that situation.

It has nothing to do with confidence, it is because of what it means in Denmark. So if you come up and say to a Dane and say: I am super good at tennis and I own my own restaurant. Are you actually saying: Ha! I'm super good at tennis and you are not, I own my own restaurant and make more money than you! Would you make friends with such a person?

As an American, living in Denmark, I disagree with some of this. While yes, it's uncomfortable for Danes to talk about things like how much money they make or their positions at work, they aren't too shy to mention the things they're good at. Much like what you would do on a resume, Danes aren't too afraid to acknowledge when they're skilled in something. I'm not referring to bragging, per say, if anything it's a tasteful confidence. But I still feel they're less modest than some other cultures.
