Why are English people so stuck up?
<|assistant|>
English people are not usually seen as being 'stuck up' but there are cultural reasons why some might consider them so. Many English people have a strong sense of pride and identity, believing in the notion of the 'British stiff-upper lip' which can come across as self-defeating and unemotional. This often extends into their interpersonal dealings and can come across as stand-offishness, which can be interpreted as arrogance or condescension. English etiquette can also be quite strict and can seem alien to outsiders who are not familiar with it. Additionally, some of the more traditional customs like bowing and curtseying which are seen as quintessentially 'English' may also seem overly formal or pretentious to those who are unfamiliar with them. However, many English people are incredibly down-to-earth and friendly and so this perception of stickyness should not be applied universally.
