When someone says that Anglo or other places are "cliquey and built on social circle" it gives me an image of beautiful people in their elite groups going off and having fun at exclusive venues. Ha. That might be so for the lucky few, but most people are just isolated and stuck with a small handful of acquaintances and friends. Thats why shows like Cheers, Friends and Seinfeld have been popular going back decades. They show an ideal close group of buddies, when the reality is sitting at home with the TV and the smartphone.
Yes this is exactly it. I believe NZ is an extreme example and I would not have this problem in the US or even Canada. But people are just so boring here and the things they do just suck so much that even I, someone who actually likes being social and active, etc just have way more fun sitting at home on the computer or planning my own activities than I do trying to endure the social circle grind of most Kiwis, they just have a ridiculously high boredom tolerance and as a result most of what they do is completely mind-numbingly boring
