Has Argentina Changed You as a Person?

Hey everyone, This might sound a little deep, but I just watched a video where this guy talks about how living in Argentina changed the way he thinks and feels, and honestly, it hit me hard.

I realized this country , and the people, have made me way more patient. Like, I didn’t even notice it happening, but it’s true.
At first, I thought the slower pace, the delays, the “mañana” mentality were a nightmare. Coming from the U.S., where everything has to be ASAP, I used to feel frustrated all the time. But now? I actually appreciate it. It’s made me more relaxed, less reactive. It forced me to slow down and let go of this idea that everything has to be instant. In a weird way, I think Argentina made me a better person.
Curious if anyone else feels like this too 🙂
Have you noticed any personal changes (good or bad) since living here?

Totally agree. I’m from Germany, and the first year was rough, no one showed up on time, deliveries were always delayed, and even the bank took 2 hours.
But now I get it. People here value time differently. It’s not worse, it’s just... human. I used to stress about the clock constantly, and now I actually live my days.
