There are some special aspects in being Finnish and I hope you might find some Finnish traits in yourself, as they might be more or less found around the world. As far as I've met people around the world, these are the ones I feel are lacking the most in other people.

Being happy when someone else will not succeed
It doesn't matter if you lost, as long as the other person won't win either.Being ashamed and sorry for everything
When Finns lose in sports, they feel ashamed. When Finns win in sports, they feel ashamed to win in such a marginal sport while someone else must have been better.Hate and love of rules
You tell everybody you're against regulations, but still you want to ban your neighbors from doing whatever you don't want to do yourself. "I don't want a barbeque so we need a law to stop barbeques"Getting depressed in sunlight
Ok, this may not be only a Finnish thing, but there is a peak in suicides in spring as amount of light will start to increase. It seems that eternal darkness might suit Finns the best.Love and hate for taxes
We hate to pay taxes, but we feel that everybody else should pay more taxes. We complain about tax evasion while driving to by liquor from Estonia, as the taxes for liquor are way lower in there.Being cheap in most cases
You can drive a 20 year old car and you don't want to take it for repairs as it's too pricey, but you spend 2500€ to go abroad to watch soccer.. while passing out in the hotel and never seeing the soccer match.Being upset about everything
Nothing is never good enough to be a bit upset about it. If you get 100€ for free, you'll feel sad for not getting any more.Not being to understand happiness
If someone smiles to you at the street, the person is either drunk, on drugs or crazy.
Nothing is never good, life is always sad or it should be. I'm sad about this post, it's not as good as if someone else had done it.
