An often very misunderstood, despised, hated & underappreciated people in Eastern Europe.

[Psychological] studies have proven that the Polish people aren't actually rude or arrogant people at all; and their behavior (or accusation of being rude or arrogant) is simply a major misunderstanding. Polish people just have a different way of interaction & social skills.

If a Polish person likes you & is trying to be helpful, they will often be blunt with you & to-the-point. To westerners this may seem as rude, arrogant or sarcastic. For Polish people this is a sign of friendliness. Polish people tend to be very common-sense oriented people; they tend to be sheltered/isolated and are religious. So if a Polish person upsets you; don't worry, s/he is [usually] not trying to insult you or hurt your feelings; and this is mostly an unintentional behavior. (unbeknownst to Polish) In the Poland; what is seen as rude behavior in the Western world is actually seen differently in Poland & is actually viewed as a [friendly gesture]/mannerisms among the Polish.

Polish people, unlike Westerners, tend to value [collectivism] and [the greater good], much like Eastern societies - Korea/Japan/China. While Westerners tend to be more individualistic. So if you are from Western Europe or even USA, don't be surprised or find it bizarre that a Polish person is acting different from you. To them, this behavior is normal & they don't realize it is unusual behavior & isn't understood in most Western nations.
