Why are americans so extrovert ?

Answer 1

From the start, Americans depended upon each other for survival. You'd better be willing to talk with someone before heading into the woods among the bears and the mountain lions. You need a buddy. (Today's metaphorical bears and mountain lions are all the criminals we think lurk around every corner--we still need a buddy.)

Also, I think Americans are less crowded than people of many other cultures. We really do enjoy large, open spaces, and often, we are able to retreat to a nice home that is separate from all others around it (houses on lawns, not flats or apartments rising above concrete). We don't feel crowded, we don't feel our privacy is impinged upon quite so much as other peoples feel. Therefore, we don't get as crabby with each other; we don't crave time alone so much (that may be changing, BTW--I feel bad for America!). We're more willing to talk with each other.

And we're first-class marketers. Corporate America learned a long time ago that a cheery greeting as people walk in the door of the store makes them buy more. The habit spreads.

Plus, we're the forerunners in the Communications Era. Cameras, voice recorders, telephones, etc., we're very, very used to those being part of our culture. All of it is about communicating. We do that extremely well!

Last, by now, we've been doing all of this for so long, it's actually become a cultural/social nicety to wave, greet people, thank people, wish them a nice day, etcetera. Not to do so is a no-no. It's un-American.

Answer 2

America started out as a colony with very few (white) people in it.
You did not get to talk to others outside your village too often, so you make most of it when you do.

And these day, with pop culture and national brands there isn't much new or interesting in life. So meeting new people is about the only source of variety in life.

Answer 3

Well, that's how to get ahead. MEET people!
Make contacts!
Get your product sold!
Get people sold on your bright smile!
I'm half Second-generation WASP...
You ever see the commerical for the girlie movie with Amanda Bines in it, about the American girl who discovers her father is big Brit royalty!
She goes over to the Motherland,
And the sunt is giving her a huge welcoming party- The little princess THROWS her arms around the stuffy old aunt, who abruptly moves back and solemnly states:
"We're English, dear. We DON'T hug."

Answer 4

Not everyone is. MANY are introverted but the extroverts are usually the ones given attention, so that's why it may seem that way.
