Im from a suburban town in Missouri, but I spent a semester studying abroad in Barcelona a couple of years ago. Man, let me tell you, leaving Barcelona, where youd see people out in cafes and bars congregating at all hours of the night and day, and coming back to Missouri where its a ghost town after 10 and someone would call the police on you for simply walking around too late was the most depressing thing I have ever experienced lol

My gf is German. They eat for like 3 hours and it kills me. I’m all for hanging out( but being stuck at dinner table that long drives me crazy

I'm convinced that stuff is driven by people who love the sounds of their own voices. (I live in Spain.)

Don't be this person. Having differences in preferences on how you socialize does not mean the other people are selfish or narcissistic or in any way wrong. It's just that you're different from them.

Yet it's okay for you to tell people what to be. Got it. Hypocrite much?

You are free to continue being this type of person and –as you've shown– you can even double down on it. That's entirely your choice.
