Svizzera forum < Why is it so hard to make friends in Switzerland??

    I agree with most of the people in this forum that it's very difficult to be integrated in the Swiss society!

    I am a mixed person and physically I look European, yet I experienced a lot of discrimination because of my name especially when applying for jobs, flats etc...

    I can say that Swiss tend to be more and more racist and xenophobic, especially with the recent economic crises. They always blame foreigners for all their problems and it's getting worse and worse!

    Getting on with people is very difficult, even some of the neighbors will hardly greet you sometimes! Some of them will ignore you if they see you in the street and this is a national sport here!!! I don't understand why, but it's like that! Once a neighbor even covered her face in order to avoid greeting my wife and me!!!

    I managed to make a few good friends here but most of them are foreigners, they also share the same feelings as most of the people in this forum.

    I have been living here for 18 years and after sometimes I started to think that I had myself psychological problems! Finally when I read many posts in this forum (and other forums) I noticed that many people had the same feeling as I do have...

    Well I planned to quit definitely this country in near future and I think it's the best thing to do as I strongly believe that nothing will change in Switzerland especially regarding the mentality of the people... This country is not so international and multicultural as it claims to be, for those who are planning to come and live here please think it twice as you may regret afterwards!!!
