This. I met a finnish guy in a hostel once and since we were both solo traveling we went out together exploring the city. This guy had no reaction to anything he was seeing/hearing/experiencing, he'd also almost exclusively talk if he was prompted to, the only thing I remember him saying unprompted was ''there's some garbage over there'' pointing at an area behind some bushes in a public park. I guess that struck him as something very unusual for finnish standards. Nice guy but it kinda felt like hanging out with some early prototype android where the emotion chip still needed to be installed
On another occasion I went on a date with a finnish girl and while she was a bit more talkative than the guy above I also needed to carry the convo most of the times otherwise we would just be walking in silence for long stretches which I find pretty awkward but I guess it's normal in Finland
