Buddy of mine and I were chatting on Discord and we ended up having a conversation about this topic.

Namely imagine you just put two people in a room. One from New Jersey and one from LA and observe

Wild how different cultures can be even inside a country.

What do y’all think? Is it due to the size of the US (geographically)?

Growing up in the South is learning to be mean by way of looking nice.

That’s a really good way to put it that I’ve never heard before.

It took me a while to figure out. Like I knew Southerners can be mean and judgy, but I didn’t think about how until I traveled to other places and saw how much more straightforward people are. It’s nice when kindness is kindness and there’s no underlying meaning.

I can never tell when people are doing this, and it’s really confusing to me. I wish more people would just say things outright!

It’s a subtly, yeah. There’s a lot of reading between the lines along, which is annoying if you’re not used to it.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct
