Americans, in my experience, have mastered the art of fake enthusiasm (and likely are the first to say "exciting" in an exchange). It seems to be overflowing into Canada, in fact (still anecdotal). No idea why they are unable to show real emotions but have to come across as enthusiastic, empathetic, all the good stuff. All this in public. I wonder what they deal with in the solitude of themselves, and how.
