Are Polish Women cold and aloof? [249]
Some are and some aren't. I had a student in class today who never fails to smile and create a light-hearted atmosphere, she's cool. I think it's worth repeating what I said earlier on in this thread. Many seem to open up in class when the right atmos is created but, on the streets, many come across as being jealously guarded and play this huffy, block-out game. I really get on very well with those that don't. In the local deli, they know me and are super friendly. Even when I'm beat after work, I still make an effort to smile and have a laugh/joke with them. They do likewise! If they are visibly snowed under and look jaded, I take it easy and am very patient. I read other peoples' energy/energies and work with it.
I think we can say that many oldies here are aloof but, then again, they were put through the ordeal that was communism. Younger ones, esp schoolgirls, are generally bright and peppy. Those in their thirties, well, it depends who they are surrounded by.
