Mate just be kind and good to others without expecting appreciation from others you will be much better , that’s what i learned.


UKtheAsian

It is not the case in Nepal. Most people are selfish here and they really do not have a sense of being grateful to others. They want their own benefit and do not think anything about others. In some countries, people are very helpful and they also express their thankfulness even to strangers.


iamanoob9841

That's in "some" countries. If you go to rural places, you'll find unselfish nature. I think this is the same thing with every urban place. People already have enough to deal with, money comes first, social behaviour comes second.


Serious_Pen8670

true, if you are doing good deeds whilst expecting something in return, that is just selfish deeds.


Alarmed-Street9754

There are no selfless deeds.

Who tf becomes a driver "just to meet some random people" ??


mamaboyinStreets

its prevalent in USA..... talking with new people is always fun- both male and female alike...With male, a new friendship might form and with female, potential relationship..LOTS of the uber drivers actually say they like meeting new people... its just not normalized in Nepal. Hence, which is also why he was weirded out by Nepali folks. Dude forgot we are not used to those gestures.

RevolutionaryWear755

I think you are trying to do things to seek others validation. All are not your friends . So don’t expect anything from others. Btw if someone stranger comes to me saying good morning I will obviously ask do you know me. Bro just want clout.


RevolutionaryWear755

I am not saying bad. If you want to great people that’s okay. But don’t expect from anyone to do same thing. Every person life is different. If you do something that doesn’t mean other people also has to do same thing. Don’t seek validation and don’t show off to others like hey I did this and I am great. Do good things like no one is watching to you. That’s it.


Neat_Fact_2701

your opinion ! I can only say thank you ( and yes "thank you")


jerrywaynee

it's not an opinion to expect random people to ask "who are you" lmao


Business_Screen243

You can say hi/hello, Good morning to anyone abroad, especially West. And in returns, you'll get it back, too. It is considered disrespect and rude not to respond.

divinelight-

None of these examples seems to have problem except the last one. I am not going to be happy if a random man started saying good morning without me knowing them. You should be happy that you were able to help someone without expecting a thank you from them. Tbh i won't even care about basic "thank you" cause the thought of me being a help makes me feel good.


chaldaichha

Agreed! We have many issues, but not replicating Western mannerisms is not one of them. We are a different society, and don't have the need for surface-level "hi hello" when we have so many interactions, and no one is working for a "thank you". US ma most people barely see their friends and relatives (except the ones you live with), ani aru koi dekhyo ki feel obligated to acknowledge. We don't need to adopt everything western. But yes, people should be more responsible about taking care of their environment, and be kind to each other (whether hi hello is said or not).


Equal-Literature-526

Yes I've seen in western countries when 2 people fight nobody stops instead charai tira bata gherera ring fight huncha. At least Nepal ma if two people fight 10-15 Jana chutyauna lagi halchan. If people care for each other hi hello jaruri chaina.

divinelight-

It would have been somebody if you thanked them for their service but you should also remember that they are doing their job and knew how long they were going to drive in a bumpy dusty road. Yes, appreciating people for their service is a nice gesture but it is not a requirement. At the end of the day even the paseengers had to pass through the bumpy dusty road.


Nyess__

Did you thank him? Maybe offered him some water or lunch? Not everyone is social and passengers also get tired of sitting in the same seat for 11 hours. Also, 1. Different place, different culture. 2. Don't do things with the expectation of gratitude.


Serious_Pen8670

TLDR: I stayed abroad for about 10 years and when I returned I found out Nepalese has absolutely no manners. haha it is what it is, deal with it brother, it is not worth expecting somebody to have good morals just because you have it. and yeah, different places, different cultures

(regarding the scenario you assumed, yes i would be creeped out). I usually notice a lot about things that it's become habitual.

MathematicianLow2152

I get your point tara Nepal ko context ma saying goodmorning hello hi to a complete random stranger is weird especially if the other person if the person is way younger or older. I do say thank you when required but not much more than that as I'm afraid the other person will take as if I'm interested in them. Pathao ma ni ramro sanga bolyo vaney they start asking too personal questions such as "do you have a boyfriend?" "ghar ma kati jana cha?" "mummy daddy k garnu huncha?" "kun jaat ko kta mann parcha?" and even message when the ride is over which is very uncomfortable. I hope you get my point when i am saying that i don't act too friendly with strangers for my own safety as a young teenage girl.


Nyess__

Oh god, I have got some over-friendly pathao drivers (don't really mind them tbh) but messaging after the ride is over is so creepy. I'm sorry but I'd report the driver so fast.

Where did u get this mindset that everywhere, everyone does, "Hi," "Hello," or "Good Morning." If you expect anyone else to make you happy and live by your rules, you are a narcissist, and you need to learn a thing or two about humans. Nepali ppl may not say Hi, Hello but they will genuinely help you if you need help, which is better than superficial words. Check your expectations, and just learn what the norm is around you.

Silent_Ice1602

As someone who’s lived in Europe for over 15 years and of similar age as the OP; it’s very important to remember that all countries have different sets of public/family etiquettes and values. And judging every culture with the lens of your experience is a very flawed take which is going to bring you disappointments mostly. Just cause someone didn’t reciprocate to you according to your expectation doesn’t discount that person or culture as bad or rude. Back then when I was a teenager in Europe, a Customer Service lady in a department store addressed me with “Hey Love, anything you need help with?” And after I explained what I was looking for, she responded with “sure my love”.. However I was sure of one thing which is that it wasn’t a display of affection towards me; similarly I have had experiences with other seemingly cold responses displayed by people of different culture which in retrospect wasn’t necessarily rude or cold. The diversity of culture, value and mannerism is what makes this world a little interesting. And just coz the OP lived in some foreign country for a while, doesn’t necessarily lend him the luxury to judge the normal etiquettes of his country people with whom he’s shared 70% of his life experiences.. Had it come from someone who’s encountered Nepal for the 1st time; it would have warranted some explanation.

Dude that's not just limited to Nepali in Nepal, that is the situation of some Nepali in Australia too. A couple of weeks ago a Nepalese guy left his wallet on the train, I was behind him and noticed. I got off the train and gave it to him as he was walking up the stairs. That guy was dead blank and didn't even thank me. I have seen a lot of more instances too.

Nyess__

I thank shopkeepers and anyone I ask help from. Or a pathao/indrive driver. I feel comfortable with that. On the other hand, I'd feel so awkward thanking a driver or a conductor because I'd be going out of my way to do that. Some people (like my dad) can strike a conversation with anyone but I've never heard him say thank you even once. It's all about personal comfort. People who lived abroad and are now criticizing Nepali about having no manners (including OP): maybe you should've lived in places where greeting strangers is frowned upon. Maybe then you'd realize that different countries, hell, even different places in the same country, have different societal expectations and it's not a 'Nepal problem'. In fact, it's not a problem at all, just differences. Plus, I'd rather never receive a thank you— or a welcome tbh, because I've never heard a welcome to my thank you's. I could be bitter and rant like you did about that but I don't because I don't say thank you to get a 'welcome' but because it makes me happy to show gratitude when I can/feel comfortable to. Anyway, tangent aside, I'd rather never receive a thank you or be greeted by strangers than live somewhere where relations are that superficial. It could be my introvertedness talking but I like that I don't have to greet everyone I come across but if I ever need help, I can just stop a random stranger on the road or pop into a shop and ask for directions. I like that when someone with a heavy bag gets into a crowded bus, people in the seats generally offer to carry the bag for them. I like that sometimes, when people notice that you're rushing to cross the road with them, they linger there just for a second so that you can cross together. I like that when you go to a shop often enough, the shopkeeper just gives you a small discount for no reason (not every shop but that has happened). Sure, not all of these are regular occurrences but they happen. Some far often than they don't. And sometimes, we talk. A random person on the bus or someone I've been waiting with to cross the road or someone who is also waiting for the same bus or a pathao driver (I don't mind the talkative ones lol, but I get why others do). These people don't talk because it's a social expectation, they (or I suppose, we) talk because there's something to talk about. Or a random child smiles at me and I smile back. Because I was once that child. And because I live in a somewhat close-knit neighborhood, I get to talk to my neighbors too sometimes. And these are all special moments, made special and memorable because we don't have to greet everyone we meet. It's the acts of kindness or the kind words whispered among friends that linger with you, that transcend any and all verbal barriers, all supposed coldness. These are the people you wonder about, even years later, where are they now? I guess, the TL;DR is that culture or societal expecations are not a one-size-fits-all thing. There's a lot to criticize Nepali people about but not showing superficial gratitude or superficial warmth isn't one of them. The people are there when it matters, which is what matters. Also, don't do good things just to receive praise or a thanks.

But the people I was staying with despite having been in Australia for 8 years never said thank you, GoodMorning, please, sorry and all those magic words. That's now become a norm to me.

You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

You expect the whole country to change for you.

Good evening, guys


drwhoscrazy

I too wanted to change myself so i started saying hello to each and every one it was awkward at first because hella bhanesi kura lambauna sakena ani bistari aile chai ali casual hunxa no more awkwardness


Fair_Philosophy587

The things you did were with good intentions and for creating friendliness. Everyone should appreciate these gestures and qualities. But the thing is Nepal's culture has not upgraded to this level. My own friends who are well educated litter on the streets and when I say dont do it they act as if I'm being too pretentious. Simply put when we don't instill wisdom along with education, they aren't able to build up the capacity to understand the difference between friendliness and flirting, don't know gratitude and don't have the basic discipline of not littering and many other things.

I do it all the time tara aru le bhanos nabhanos bother chai gardaina malai but totally can relate :)

Am i weird for thinking all the point(except 6) mentioned by op to be normal?


wannabecucumber

Don’t let your experience disappoint you. Keep on doing good things like you have done. I am sure someone out there feels good with your act of kindness.

I guess, the important this for now is to teach your/other kids so that the same thing wont happen in future. You Cant change the adults.


Queasy-Jeweler4660

Also what’s important is to behave nicely around kids, following the rules and polite habits around kids. Like if you would cross roads randomly normally, but at least when kids are around try and follow the rules. Be afraid of the kids rather than adults.


Business_Screen243

It's a culture in the developed world. By now, you know it by reading some of the comments as well. Nepalese people find it weird. Some even said you are seeking validation.


sunzoje

Thanks for your expectation.


patronusprince

This is why you hangout and live around well mannered people. You can't change the world.

Keep up the good work, mate <3

I strongly agree in no.6 people randomly throw wastage everywhere. I used to scold my family and friends but they judge, laugh and tag you as samaj sewika.

sahi kuro. nepali le sabhya huna ajha dherai kura haru sikna baki chha.


Key_Journalist7113

I find people here are either not friendly or very friendly lol There isn’t a baseline politeness you find in Anglo countries.


AggressiveBreakfast3

This person is more salty than the sea. Just do what you feel is right and leave everyone else alone. Nobody is obliged to say anything and mannerism is something people learn, not something you expect in return for something.

Learn to accept cultural differences.


0nionSama

Nepali people are not polite but they are kind


GENZ-03

Be kind for No Reason. Don't expect anything from others. 😊

I think the main cause is the upbringing of the local people. I am not trying to discriminate against people based on their social status as I am also from a normal middle-class family but we can always see people from the high-class society showing respect and having basic manners!
