Is it normal that i hate the uk?

u probably just hate the people in uk....not uk in general

thank you for all the comments. I read my post again and felt embarassed because I sounded so harsh, it's just so...so difficult having to be in a place that makes you unhappy. Trust me, I HAVE made a great effort, joined all kinds of societies and tried to mingle with brittish people, and sure not everything has been bad for the past 3 years, but it's a downward spiral and I'm scarred of it getting a lot worse. I can't accelerate my degree nor can I complete it in Sweden due to the nature of my subject (medicine). I live in Scotland...

maybe I just need to try harder....I'm starting my 4th year of medicine soon and the stress of that does make it a lot harder to "try harder". this is so sad...I've never had to be in a position where I've activly had to FIND friends.

Maybe you need to look at the positive qualities that a country has. Try to look for activities that you find interesting or fun. There is no country in the world that is unlovable. There is clearly something that you are overlooking.

or perhaps finish the rest in Sweden?

That's really sad. Whereabouts do you live? I'm English, and I know how unsociable and negative we can be. I hope you meet some people soon, it's really hard to make new friends here. My boyfriend moved down from the north, and even he is struggling.

Maybe the UK hates you back.

I agree with you i live in the UK and i cant stand the people here. All they do is drink alcohol talk about cars and girls and drugs its fucking pathetic makes you wonder how britain used to be an empire.

come to england, england is wonderful

That's O.K. I am from the UK and I hate Sweden and Swedish people, so we have something in common. In fact they're the only nationality that I have ever taken a strong dislike to. I have friends from Italy, Greece, France, Germany, Denmark, America, Canada, Spain, Nicaragua, Australia, Chile and Lithuania, plus many other places. - That's a hell of a lot of countries, but I have no friends from Sweden, despite meeting many from people. I cannot stand swedes, in fact I abhor them.

is this not the same person who said they did not hate the UK but hated British Teenagers I Guess you changed your mind now and hate the Whole of The UK Even though there is more than England in the UK and you prob have never being past England.

Hmm... I'm British and can see upsides to this country along with some DEFINATE downsides. You mention how the people you're with drink a couple of times a week and I get the impression this isn't really your thing. It's not mine either and I'm embarrassed by the amount of binge drinking that goes on in this country. It's a massive problem and it needs addressing. But we currently have a government full of privelliged toffs who don't really know how to approach social issues related to excessive drinking. That's part of the problem. Our next election is in 2015... yay.

I'm sorry you're not enjoying yourself here, but there are nice, interesting people too, honest! And we don't all like X Factor (eurgh!) If you get the chance and have the money, try exploring a couple of other areas in the UK. If you go to London, do your research first. There are some interesting places, but other parts are just full of impolite workaholics! Also, I genuinely think there's an issue of a kind of mass depression in the UK at the moment - the attitudes and tendancy to be negative about everything don't fit very well with the whole economic situation and the government are making cuts all over the place. Lastly, I hope you get to meet some more like-minded people in your remaining time here.

I guess you might just be with the wrong people then...
I moved to the UK a while ago and I love it! I hate things like the X-Factor too by the way, but fortunately I'm not friends with anyone who is that obsessed with it or any other show that's kind of like it.

I'd hang out with you, you could give me tips into getting in med school. Did you do workexperience/volentary in Sweden? I'm 17 ATM and maybe applying soon if my grades are good. Still to lazy to do work experience:/ pls reply

There's good and bed everywhere, I could take you to places in the us you would hate and some places you would love. I actually have a Swedish exchange student at my school. Just try new spots.

Come to america. It makes england seem like heaven in comparison. ;)

You make me feel so special considering im british and everything.
but hey, maybe it's just the people your around.
go out more & say hello to people prehaps?
were a nice country when you get to know us :)

If you live in London, you need to go East. To Hackney, especially Broadway Market. There are actually lots of Swedish people here. We don't even have TV's in our houses here because we hate TV so much, so we certainly won't be talking about X Factor!

you know, i think no matter what your age, a big move like that is hard.

two years a long time to wait for anything, but you sound like the sort who is strong enough to get through it.

are there any opportunities to accelerate any of your studies?

This is all a part of life, and growing up. I'm sorry you are not happy. Can you transfer? Having never been to the UK, I can't comment on the people. But I always assumed it was quite a diverse place.

It does sound like you are using the people as an excuse for some underlying problem. The phrase "it isn't you, it's me" didn't become a cliche for nothing.

It's normal. I once went to new zealand for 3 years for studying and I hated the trashy punks tthere. They have the most stupid accent and they decide to drink only to get wasted.
In my final days there I beat up somebody for fun.
stupid new zealanders, they also think they made the movie avatar.
I hate them

you have to make the best of what you have for the next two years. do not sit there and dwell on how you hate the UK. you dont have to love it but i mean go out and experience everything you can before you leave because your going to look back at this and wish you didnt waste your time hating..

Sounds like your trying to mix with the wrong people. Depending on where you are, deep intelectual conversation is almost never found. You cant go to a random place and hope to find it. You need to know what kind of people hang out where. Know this and you will know where to make friends and hopefuly fit in.
