去年，一本题为《芬兰人的噩梦：另类芬兰社交指南》漫画书火遍了中国的社交网络。书中主人公马蒂尽量避免不必要社交活动的生活方式，受到了许多年轻中国网友的欢迎，甚至还衍生出了一个新词——“精芬”（“精神芬兰人”）。
Last year, a comic series titled "Finnish Nightmares" trended on Chinese social media. Each strip is about the social challenges faced by a mild-mannered stick figure named Matti, who fears crowds and small talk. Matti's experience echoes millions of young Chinese who are socially awkward and find themselves getting easily embarrassed. As it has become more popular online, the comic series even coined a new buzzword "Jingfen", the abbreviation of "Spiritually Finnish" in Chinese, which refers to people who hate socializing, like Finns, and believe their private space is very important.
和陌生人保持距离也许并非都是因为“社交恐惧”
但这体现了芬兰人重视隐私、尊重私人空间的社会传统
或许这也是芬兰人提升幸福感的秘诀之一
