It's painfully obvious to see that as Americans we can sometimes be wrapped up in our own affairs.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Americans often have trouble enjoying the present moment.
Americans have a special horror of giving up control, of letting things happen in their own way without interference.
American life is based on a reassurance that we like one another but won't violate one another's privacies. This makes it a land of small talk.
I'm not an American, but I have this weird connection to America in different ways through my dad living here for five years, my godfather being an American who I'm very close to.
There's a deep-seated paranoia that Americans have about not being Americans or something.
We're Americans - in times of crisis, we step up.
Most Americans know we are in a mess, and as they look at Donald Trump, they believe he is the one leader who can reverse the downward death spiral of this nation we love so dearly.
Most of the time I spent in America, I was having a love affair with some American or other. I was just passing through but stayed because of these chaps.
It is, I think, an indisputable fact that Americans are, as Americans, the most self-conscious people in the world, and the most addicted to the belief that the other nations of the earth are in a conspiracy to under value them.
There's a physicality and confidence to Americans; they're very present. That's something I enjoy being around because it rubs off on you.
