Nah, I don’t think that’s true. It very much depends on where in Europe, things can be vastly different between countries.

It’s definitely not normalized in the northern half of Europe.

I mean, I literally live in Norway, and I don’t feel this. Sure, many people do struggle with depression and such, but it doesn’t feel as if you’re not allowed to be happy.

That’s historically the protestant bit so that makes sense
