Tragic story.
So what are you cooking me for dinner?
With genes like that I’d also drown myself.
Empathy costs extra.
Classic geuzen
Well just skipping the problem to avoid emotions and having the need for diffecult questions
Most human dutch.
“My daughter died in a tragic accident”
“ok”
How can you not love the dutch
To be honest, dumping a bunch of heavy stuff during small talk deserves such a reaction.
I literally see no problem here. Except for the language.
Im with Jan, if you’re talking to someone for the first time and they drop trauma and shit like this on you, you deserve this sort of reaction. This is information you only share with people you want to get really close with after some time of knowing each other and trusting them and not in a professional setting. it’s not a lack of empathy as much as it is being fucking blindsided by someone
If someone I barely know suddenly tells me a tragic life story in a very matter-of-fact tone, how am I supposed to react? Just fake empathy out of courtesy? It’s not courteous in the first place to dump something like that on people. I’m saving my energy and reacting like they told me they had soup for dinner.
Sounds like she dropped her daughter in the kanaal.
Goed verhaal!
As a danish swede, if someone casually trauma-dumps on me during a casual chit-chat on the train, I absolutely would turn dutch too!
Although that would never happen since I could never just have a chat with a stranger if it was some kind of emergancy.
Ngl, that’s maybe not the best ice breaker on a first date
let’s not
That’s some military grade autism we have there. Oh yes, it’s called a Dutch, sorry.

Oh the ironing!
Dutch people are great. I didn’t realise they were so cold as people until I found this sub, I love them now.
So leude Forza ist feddich rundergeladne
She didn’t tikkie him for the dead child therapy package. Can’t be having daylight robbery, empathy takes a lot of time and effort to develop for Jan
I now want to know how she drowned there
/based. That could be me.
If he showed any empathy, he would have to send her a tikkie later. He’s actually doing her a favour
Lol this thread.
North Europeans: ’Perfectly normal reaction’
South Europeans incl. the French: ’How can you be so heartless?’
He’s heard of it, but he doesn’t care for it.
“Mmmh, I guess she was still too young for swimming lessons”
I’m starting to feel a bit sorry for Hans that *he* gets described as the autistic one.
