This is true.

We have a word for it in Swedish, "Sjalvdistans". It literally means, 'self-distance' and basically means not to take yourself so seriously and have the power of allowing people to perhaps even make fun on your expense. 


But just like English doesn't have a word for 'lagom' they don't seem have for this either. Which consequentially and ironically (think about it) is very, very true the way they live their lifestyle. Figuratively speaking of course.
