Finland, despite the language thing and having had both a brother and sister work in Norway
But I am on the reclusive, unemotional side. Finish people tend to seem more calm and closed, while Norwegians appear more energetic and outgoing, but maybe just my impression

It depends on what part of Sweden you are from. East coast from Stockholm and north have deeper ties with Finland. West coast and much of the inland have deeper ties with Norway, though some parts of the inland have many people with Finnish ancestry.

Living in southern Sweden its definentely Denmark at least. Unfortunately. And I think the answer will vary depending on where in Sweden the person you ask lives.
Out of those two I think it depends. Varies from area to area. In a way we are perhaps more similar to Norway in language and “temperament” (in lack of better words), but much more intertwined with Finland both today and even more historically.
A lot of what is Finnish feels almost Swedish, like Mumintrollen, KAJ, etc, because there are so many people with Swedish heritage in Finland and vice versa. The Swedish-Finnish border also seem a lot more living both in Norrland and in the Baltic Sea, with Norway being so protected by mountains.

It’s interesting because the Swedish/finnish border in the north is heavily intermingled with many Swedes being bilingual, same in the fenno-Swedish areas in Finland.
However there are very few areas where the same intermingling between Swedish and Norwegian communities and cultures occur, mostly due to geography.

I live in Stockholm and the answer for me is abviously Finland. We and the averages finns are quite similar but norwegians are rich and not very industrious. Finns and swedes are very industrious.

Finland. They’re the cool older brother. Norway is the brother who brags about how awesome he is and just comes off as obnoxious.

Tie.
The Swedish society, state and economy has more similarities with Finland, the nature is more similar for the most part, and there are lots of cultural connections. Also the only other (partly) Swedish speaking country.
Norway is physically closer, and much more present. I meet five to ten Norwegians in Sweden for every Finn, and I visit Norway much more often than I visit Finland. shares the common Scandinavian ancestry with language and culture on a different level.

If you live in the far north of Sweden, the question is probably “Do you feel closer to Finland or Sweden?”
