Well, yeah I'm introverted too but living in a country with extremely introvertted people can easily lead to isolation.Especially if you want deeper friends. In that places people take a lot to open up, they usually just very close to friends they have had since they were young. So you could find yourself isolated, with no close relationships and far from home. Not forget the weather, making it even more depressing. I've suffered a lot for mental health, and Scandinavia just sad place to live for me.

I've read irish healthcare having impossible waiting time, even for urgen stuff. So, yeah, I would say Italy healthcare is better.

I've seen irish people compared to sicilians (the region I'm from) in term of characters. So you guys must to be very warm and friendly. And I think irish/Uk culture is less superficial, italian culture can be very superficial, with impossible beauty standars. Even Germany is more relaxed in beauty standards and women tend to care less about having high-end style/look as the culture sexualize women less. Also italian culture is just more backward/conservative/provencial.

Without these cultural problems and a better more flexible job market it could be best country, but no country is perfect.

If you go to Germany, focus on Berlin or Cologne, with more open/less german-like people, in particular Cologne with is roman roots is known to have the most friendly people. Belgium is interesting too, the french part, but don't think people are particulary more friendly

Americans of Irish descent are often compared with Americans of Italian descent, and I’ve also heard that most Americans of Italian descent come from southern Italy. It wouldn’t surprise me if Sicilian behaviours are similar to Irish behaviours. Unfortunately, Irish people have become more shallow and atomised due to high increases in consumerism and materialism. If you want to experience authentic Irish culture, avoid Dublin and its commuter towns, and visit the west, the south and the northeast of the country. Rural areas and small towns tend to be truer towards Irish culture.

I’d love to visit Italy. But I’m guessing that some parts of Italy are more authentic than others. But Greece is still my favourite country I’ve visited so far and would be the type of country I’d retire to.

Yeah, we got like you a long history of immigration for economical reasons, in the north Italy,and in the first part of the 20th century, also in USA. You're right, most american italians are from the south of Italy. Madonna just celebrated her birthday in Puglia which is where her family had its roots.

I would like to visit Greece too. To see where Sappho lived. To me the best European country is Spain. I'm just crazy for spanish language, so hot, so passionate language and culture. Also spanish people are very similar to sicilians, we got also Spain in our genetics, and overall better version of italians, more progressive, less uptight and arrogant, and all the great things that make life great, passionate friendly people, great weather and food and natural beauty. The bad thing is their economy just sucks, worst than Italy

Spain’s economy sucks for sure. Too reliant on tourism too. But I’ve been to Malaga several times and I loved it. Now, you can get married in Spain and Ireland, whereas Greece and Italy only have civil partnerships, but so far I’ve loved Greece more than Spain. But next time I go to Spain I’m going to the non-tourist areas and then spending a few days at the place I normally go to, so there’s still a chance I might end up loving Spain more once again.

I've heard great things about Valencia as great city to live with great weather and beaches and low cost of living. And well Barcelona is amazing, but much more expensive
