It's people like you who worry me the most. People with preconceived ideas about this country and its people, prejudices that date back to a good decade or two.
> People there, I am told, are very different and have somewhat limited perceptions of things and life in general
People everywhere have different perceptions of things. That's what makes people different. They have their own subjective perceptions of things. If you expect from other people to have the same perception(s) of life as yours, you are being irrational. I'm aware the word "limited" is key here, but it's subjective. What you rate "limited" could be nothing but a different moderate prospect of life, one that is not being forced onto you (not within this country, at least).
> We are also used here to a certain degree of personal freedom
So do we, here. Admittedly, not the exact same set of freedoms, as I already stated that things, indeed, are (as they naturally should be) different around here. We value our own personal freedom, and we enjoy it, so will you, whichever way you fancy.
> and we might feel frustrated with the so called Swab and Nifa9 Ijtima3i of Morocco.
See, prejudice. "Swab" is our own way of being polite. It doesn't mean we're being dumb hypocrites when we're being nice to each other and/or respectful of their personal space. In fact, we take this "being polite" thing a step further than what you might be experiencing in NJ; we "care" for each other. A complete stranger you meet on the street, this "swab" thing kicks in, and you, eagerly, give them a hand.
"Nifa9 Ijtima3i"... I will take a wild guess here and assume you mean that we don't do in public what we do in our own private space. If that is what you're getting at, I can think of a hundred examples of the same "Nifa9 Ijtima3i" going on within other cultures, including NJ's. You have to keep in mind that this is not something as simple as you're trying to make it out to be. It comes down to particulars, as in, particular cases and matters. Be more specific, and we'll provide feedback.
> I am also told that career wise.......................... .........not the work environment that would be named healthy and motivating.
We have work environments that are as healthy and motivating as they get, and we have working environments as unhealthy and uninspiring as they get. From my own experience, I only ever came across the former.
> I am told only weird stories about those narrow minded and full of issues people in Morocco
The US gets the most backlash for its narrow minded people. It doesn't mean I'm right in assuming that every person, group of people, town, city, state, are all nothing but a copy of a single narrow minded person.
> What freaks me out the most is the drama of social interactions, especially at work... here we barely take shit from anyone.
I bet all the bosses in all the US aren't unicorns. At work, either in Morocco or in the US, you'll take "shit" from your boss whenever he feels like giving you a hard time.
On a final note, given you study Clinical Psychology, I'm wondering why on earth would you worry so much about living in a new different environment, one that you relate to? Aren't you supposed to be (get ready for some prejudice of mine) all happy from the inside out and focused on your subjective well-being, rather than being worried about the views of those surrounding you?
