I read people say online that Americans are loud. What does this mean, exactly? Is it literal volume or is it our personality/presentation? Something else?

I may be moving to Australia because of my wife’s job, and I want to better understand this. I want to assimilate and I don’t want to be annoying. I’m personally pretty low key and listen more than speak, but this is my perception of myself.

    I definitely agree that many Americans butt in frequently. As someone that tends to be more of an observer, the moments I do talk o tend to get cut off and it’s annoying as absolute fuck.

    I never thought about the leaning on things. I’m a bigger dude, which is probably mostly because of my poor choices, but I do know that I lean on things a lot to relieve stress on other body parts. That really comes down to needing to lose weight and lose my bad habits.

    Thanks for this comment!
