Why You'll HATE Living In Poland 🇵🇱

After living in Poland for 4 months I have really enjoyed my time in this country. Not everything is perfect though. Today I discuss the main reasons why I don't like living in Poland. The cons of living in poland. Negatives about living in Poland.

As a Polish person, I'm so happy I don't have to practice small talk with people I don't know! I hate it

[@WheresWes]

I can understand that

[@MoAdan28]

I can understand your opinion on small talk. For me I like small talk as long as it’s respectful and technically I’m extroverted so it works in a favour for me. Polish culture is always like a London culture but different and differ from people where small talk is non existent.

[@LMB222]

[@slaviapolandia7541]

When a Pole asks you "How are you?" it's because we actually care and expect a truthful answer. Poles won't fake smile or small talk unless we have a reason. Poles might be "rude" but we are genuine and authentic. But try visiting a polish house and you will learn what polish hospitality is "Gość w dom, Bóg w dom" meaning...we treat our guests as if God entered our home. Polish people will go into debt to host their guests with abundance and respect.

Mówię z doświadczenia bo osobiście mi się zdarzały takie rzeczy.

Don’t agree with alcohol in Poland. Like in UK Yh people would vomit a lot when I was at uni and they can’t handle alcohol some of them but the way it’s going on it’s really bad in Uk alcohol, but I’m pretty sure it’s the same in some European countries.

[@xWEPx]

the best explanation i heard for why polish people seem rude to foreigners is the fact we consider it rude to be aproached/interrupted by a stranger without a valid pretext.

[@ukaszs5057]

Poles are not rude, but just neutral. We show only true emotions. We are neutral to people we don't know. And actually we hate this superficiality of Americans for example. They are asking "how are you" but they didn't expect real answer. In Poland you cannot as how are you to people you don't know. This is personal question and answer this question is usually complex and true. If you are doing this it means you are cultural ignorant, so I'm not surprised people are rude to you. You should learn about our culture before coming here. And when comes to language, how not knowing of Polish can be disadvantages in non-english speaking country. You cannot expect everyone speaks englis. Of course all educated people speaks English, but if you want to speak wit everyone you need to learn polish. It's insane saying this is disadvantage - how many Americans speak polish? And finally regarding to visa waiting time. You should know that we have war behind our eastern border and 2 millions of refugees waiting for visas. Beaurocracy is also higher in Germany, France or Italy. Weather, I love Polish weather, I hate extreme hot weather like in south countries so it might be a problem for you but not for everyone.

[@WheresWes]

Definitely ruder than normal. All my friends from other countries say the same thing

[@ukaszs5057]

@@WheresWes its because you don't want to accept the cultural differences. You cannot apply your cultural patterns to our culture which is different, and people behaves in different way. But I understand it can be difficult to switch.. You can not go to another country, different culture, much older than USA and expect that people will behave like americans or Italians or Even Germans which are much more similar, but also very superficial like most Anglo-Saxons. For us for example it could be rude when some one who we don't know is asking "how are you". This is rude, because in our culture it is intimate personal thing. Moreover Americans are not interested in how are you in a fact, this is only superficial question , no one expect true answer. This would be also considered as rude in our culture. Because if you ask, you should be interested in. But we don't say that Americans are rude, because this are just different cultural patterns. And for you it is rude, no we have just different culture. Do you know that when somebody on the street Poland is smiling to strangers, in our culture it is not normal guy, he is considered as mentally ill. Did you know that? Ok, at the times tpical Pole will think "mentally ill" or tourist from west 🤣. Seriously. So how we can smile? I Poland friendship is something really important, not like in US for example. First you need to deserve for friendship, then you can benefit from it. And you know what, I'm proud that we are like this, because we are true, not superficial, this is for m a big value. IMHO when when you want to assess people, rather you should look how they hospitable they are, how helpful they are, how they behave towards their friends, how strong friendship is, how you can rely on people you know. I all of this competition Poles win with Americans or Germans. Italian or Spanish people can be more similar in this field. In Poland we have proverb "don't judge book by its cover". In other words saying this you show that you didn't get to know yet Poles enough well.

[@marekgrabarek1439]

Jak to polish are not rude???A Tusk???

[@ThatBigRedBear]

Rudeness is subjective. That's one of the key differences between cultures. They might be rude by our American standards, but, as an American who hates small talk, I find it more rude to pretend to care about a stranger you couldn't care less about than to be direct and to the point until you get to know somebody.

[@user-bt7my8tx4m]

Hi Wes. A lot you describe as rudness is simply from interpreting human interaction through the lenses of your culture. A bit surpsrising for such well travelled person. Politness in Poland requires respect of other people privacy and personal space. Smiling at strangers and small talk is not practiced here as considered intrusive. Also no pestering of customers for more business. If this is new to you, you will feel negative emotions or even hostility but this is just a false interpretation. You need to get used to it if you want to feel well in Poland. Practice Polish face, make fun about it with your frends. This custom is not worse or better than other models of behavior, it is just different.

[@ravenswood118]

Thank you. This would require a mature mindset to understand, which he doesn't seem to have.

[@user-mj3ed7pb1w]

Well in terms of people being mean in poland from my experience as a polish person I would say we aren't mean we just don't have time or energy to deal with stupid questions like where can I find this or that especially if they expect us ti speak English to them when we are in poland

[@mastercalabaster9824]

Our culture is overall very introverted. People are supposed to keep to themsleves in public, unless you know someone already, e. g. walking around with a friend - of course you're going to talk and laugh. But when you're walking alone you are supposed to just go about your day and be quiet. Do not smile to strangers!!! Very important. While in the anglo-world and southern Europe smiling is seen as a sign of friendliness, in Central and Centre-Eastern Europe, smiling is a sign of "laughing/having fun".... So smiling at somebody is essentially laughing at them. People will think you are rude if you smile at them with your teeth sticking out. Learn how to do a Polish smile, and if you want to be nice just do that to people, they should respond in kind. If you're asking for directions, just ask for directions and fuck off, don't do small talk, most Poles will get nervous because we do not practice that. We don't even have a word for small talk. The culture changes once you're drinking. It's a 180 degrees shift, people will become loud and extremely open.

[@gonzommz1739]

Go to Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria or Slovakia and the people will be the same, all Central European countries have a similar culture and are quite cold when talking to or meeting someone they don't know. Being slavic has nothing to do with it, it's just linguistic term (people in Russia, Ukraine or Belarus are quite friendly, Balkan slavs are one of the most welcoming people in world). However, living together for a thousand years as neighbors has made all the nations of Central Europe quite similar due to culture, religion and history.

[@evanmcclure67]

I think the polish are nice. It's just not as surface level as in lets say the west. Just understand that you're a stranger especially when you first meet someone. In Europe in general for the most part, they tend to be rather cold when first meeting, but that doesn't mean they hate you. It's just that they don't know you and especially if you wanna form a friendship or relationship it'll take time for them to see your true colors. I have a polish friend...well two actually. But I met them in a hostel and they're very well travelled however.

[@WheresWes]

They are kind people but definitely not the most friendly. Being kind and nice and two different things, people are conflating the two

[@MoAdan28]

@@WheresWeswell not your stereotypical American friendly but friendly enough to actually ask for directions and then after that nothing happens so really depends I guess. Polish people can be cold but when you get to know them they can be nice and friendly to you.

Krakow is famous for the fact that people from all over Europe come on weekends to party and drink alcohol. I'm not saying that Poles don't drink alcohol, because they do, but there are a lot of weekend tourists from all over Europe in Krakow. Krakow and Poland are still very cheap for tourists, alcohol is much cheaper here than in Germany or the UK. By the way, I agree that weather is not nice especially during winter. Sadly we do not have snow anymore, winter with snow is way better.

[@icequeen.]

From my own expirience and from what I saw around me if you ask us about directions or overall help - we will help you as best as we can. Maybe not with a smile, but still - you will get the help you needed. I, personaly, don't smile to strangers, don't see a reason to smile to them, don't like when strangers bug me on the streets, trying to small talk with me etc. A lot of times I'm busy and have headphones or I'm talking on the phone and foreigners bug me not for help, but to just flirt or small talk. If we didn't give you any signs of interest - it's ok to ask for help, but don't bug people for anything else. We like to know a person a little more and a little better before we call you a friend. And we just like to be honest, so if we don't like something, don't have a time etc - we will tell you right away, which sometimes people take as being rude. We just more open and friendly for the people we know, strangers can always get help, but that's it. No one will be acting like you're their friend on first meeting ;).

[@bezimienny5149]

I agree with everything except drinking (I don't see something what was described in the video usually) and second thing that "people in Ukraine are more friendly". They are basically very similar in that matter, in your case they are just happy to see that some foreigner came to their country, in Poland we don't care (anymore) about that because it's something common for us for years. I am sorry there are some things you didn't like here.

As for Ukraine, I assume you had some short time in Ukraine or travelled with Ukrainians (also the situation there is far from normal, so probably they create a great community right now). Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against them, but they themselves are calling us 'too polite', as we always say 'good morning, thank you, goodbye' more frequently than them, I had many experiences with me saying 'Good morning' or 'Goodbye' to an Ukrainian and not hearing the reply 😅 I see Ukrainians as less polite, but I know it's just their culture, it's not personal.

Wes - I guarantee that if, like me, you work in some of the warehousing or service industry jobs here in the UK, you will definitely see what its really like working with Eastern Europeans in general .. A lot of them really don't have any cultural awareness or manners when it comes to everyday communication. Even just smiling or acknowledging one another in a friendly manner seems to be something alien to them, & they are quite cliquey as well. Of course, not all of them are like this - but the majority of them are. Also, if you wear glasses like I do & are seen as a "lesser" minority e.g. East Asian - you will be underestimated & seen as a pushover if you don't raise your voice or stand up for yourself. This is something I had to learn, & it definitely rubbed some of my EE co-workers the wrong way (most specifically, Poles & Romanians). I've not really had this problem with fellow Brits or other minority groups.

[@gonzommz1739]

Because in manual labor you mainly meet Poles who fled Poland, either for criminal reasons or for reasons of poor education and could not find a job here, or have alcohol/drug problems. As one Polish politician said, the only positive thing after joining the EU was that we got rid of the worst kind of people and exported them to foreign countries.

How can you be sure that some of these things apply to the whole country, and are not just qualities of Kraków? For example the centre of Kraków is known for being a place where people go to get drunk. So if someone doesn't like alcohol, and they live there... It's like if you hated gambling and lived in Vegas? Also, Kraków is a touristy place. And traditionally it had a lot of English speaking tourists who were very rude and obnoxious. So I don't think it's actually the best place to be as a foreigner. But maybe I'm just biased since I don't like Kraków in general 😅

[@WheresWes]

i ask people in my building and they are from all over the country, usually small cities.

[@GrubyTolek]

​@@WheresWes fair enough, I had the impression that the building is more of an international dorm. I think the reason I disliked Kraków is i felt like a complete outsider (even though I'm Polish). Which is really rough because in Poland social life is based on close, long term friendships. Everyone had those and I didn't. I felt like everybody living in Kraków moved there for university, and has been living there since university, still hanging out with the same group of people. And even if I joined one of these groups I felt like a fifth wheel. For some reason in Warsaw i felt more like I belong there. I think it's because in Warsaw there is more people who moved there for work, after university. So there were more people sharing the same experience, of moving there as adults and not knowing anyone. But maybe it's just cause I know more people in Warsaw. Anyway it's just my experience. I'm not trying to convince anyone. Cheers!

Eastern Europe is just like that. They're not overly friendly. Many are very recently communist. I experienced the rudest people in Prague. As an American, it's very off-putting for me.

[@jmedz893]

This is true, & I'm sorry you had to experience that. As much as people (ourselves included) love to sh*t on the US & UK - at least our countries are diverse & idealistic, no matter how bad or corny or "progressive" things seem. Unlike in these post-communist countries where the mentality is just different & these people don't really "get" us. Think Apollo Creed vs Ivan Drago in Rocky 3, it really be that way sometimes.

[@GdzieJestNemo]

it's not a east west split. It's more of a north-south split and completely unrelated to communism. Along with Poland you got other central european countries (DACH+V4), BeNeLux, big chunk of France, Scandinavia, Baltics & parts of Russia, while in the other bracket you got PIGS, Balkans, Ukraine, parts of Russia and France & British Isles

I believe they were nice when the country was poor. Polish people used to have a reputation of being nice. I don't know what happened.

He's talking nonsense, probably going only to bars and gyms. It depends on who makes the impression what communication skills he has and what environment he lives in . You have to earn the trust of Poles

[@kurczeblade140]

Individual regions in Poland also differ slightly from each other

[@kurczeblade140]

It's idiotic to generalize because you can meet different people everywhere . Many Poles, if they started writing about the negatives in other countries, would provide much more brutal examples of negative behavior of residents of other countries. People usually live in their own bubble and often describe their own subjective experiences.

If someone doesn't know Polish slides on the surface

[@WheresWes]

I have many polish friends from all over the country and they will all say the same things I'm saying.

[@Some-random-Scythian]

As an American of Polish ancestry I proudly renounced the inferior communist Catholic Polish culture of my parents for Superior Anglo-Saxon American culture.

[@BeYourselfMan]

My reasons: 1 Poor minimum wage of under 760 euros a month ( why half the population lives outside of Poland 2 They drain the most EU funds out of any country in Europe 3 Miserable people unless you're a tourist 4 Pretty racist.

[@walterjurewicz1567]

So let me get this straight you don't want to learn Polish but in one of your subtitles you stated you may want to learn Russian. A country that invade d Ukraine and made threats against Poland and you want to learn Russian. Russia will be another North Korea for the next 100 years. That's like saying I want to learn German in 1939 as the Nazis were invading. Let's make one thing clear you living in Poland is a privilege to you not the other way around. Poland is booming it has past Greece and Portugal in salary and will surpass the rest of southern Europe by 2030. You need to think about what you say.

[@WheresWes]

I wanna learn Russian because it's infinitely more useful than Polish. Much of Eastern Europe and almost all of Central Asia speaks Russian. Not everything is about politics, chill

[@walterjurewicz1567]

@WheresWes you should chill you made a stupid statement. No one uses Russian unless your from a sh*thole central Asian Republic. If you like Russia so much move there and let's see how much they like Asian Americans.

[@ThinLineMedia]

You sound like a Nazi bro ! Russian is in the top 10 languages of the world spoken by around 500 million people worldwide. In every country in the world there are people who understand or speak Russian.

This KZbinr is into dating; he is not thinking about politics and history. This is a dating channel. Both Russia and Poland produce smart and beautiful women who also like to move to a western countriy like the USA to live. A perfect match!

[@WheresWes]

It's a channel about travel and my life, which sometimes includes dating. Don't wanna move back to the US, don't know where you got that idea.​@@aniwee17
