Life / Have many Poles had enough of one another? [198]

Now, while many Poles get together for drinks, work closely together in their workplaces, cheer on their national teams etc etc, I have noticed that there is a distinct apathy and even outright disdain in many places I go to in the context of interpersonal interaction. The infamous 'do widzenia na odpie*dol się' I have alluded to in the past is still ever present. No attempt to even look at those they are serving. The efforts to communicate in a range of places are light at best. I'm hearing more and more that Poles want to leave.

Shops are the best places to witness silent hostility (a nice paradox). It's almost like they don't want to acknowledge one another at all. I'm mostly in there smiling and putting out good energy but these creeps are just looking for trouble or sth to moan about. In Aberdeen, many local shopkeepers perk up when their favourite locals come in for a chat and to purchase sth but here, it's like 'oh, you again, what do you want?'.

As a teacher, I am in regular contact with a lot of people as part of my job. That entails listening to their various woes and I can see that it stems from their inability to be positive regardless. It's always the other person's fault. Being successful in your job means channeling your energy into it and not tiring yourself out with negativity. Sometimes it just takes one person to have the drive to instigate change.

That's enough for now as an OP.
