I’m originally from the UK but I’m now in Canada and I hover around some groups of people from the UK online and in person and I swear the Brits are the most whiny people to ever move anywhere. These people genuinely move to places and expect it to be exactly like the UK and when it’s not they shit on the country. Idk if it’s some leftover colonial mindset or something that hasn’t been removed from their psyche?
I’ve heard people complain that there’s no British cream (like the standard whipping cream which exists but is called something different) in stores, British bread, British seasonings, very specific type of curry called the brimingham balti which I don’t think I’ve seen outside of northern England. Amongst many other things and it’s absolutely mind blowing
Genuinely makes me embarassed to be in anyway related to these people. Anyone else get absolutely sick of your old countries people?
I was like this before. Avoiding people from my country. And now comes the why you do this. You feel different and superior,but at the end you are the same,maybe with some enlargened horizon. But not better or worse. Then,with time I started to realy appreciate my culture again. You find asshole everywhere, you find good people everywhere as well. It s not thar one culture is better. Maybe as a teenager or your twenties you have this concept “ooh my country sucks so much and the people in it”. It sucks everywhere. And it is good everywhere too. Find your circle of people,brits or non beirs. Don give a shit. Build real connections. Not some strangers you hear somewhere complainig,that s not an index of anything. Get mature.good luck.
Yep
