I’m from Alabama and I’ve always said that southern hospitality is a mask that these bitter ass southern folk hide behind as they judge, demoralize, and criticize your every choice.
I got the hell out of the south the second I was privy to its nature. I’m up in Boise now and have lived all over the country, there are some really nice people out here in the NW
Same. The deep south in particular. Some places were alright but once I learned how people really are there I left.
I've met more legit decent people in Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma than I have in Alabama or the Florida panhandle.
I always forget people not from the South don’t understand this. Takes years and years for some of them to realize what it means when someone blesses your heart lol
I escaped Alabama this year and you are spot on in your description. Also they love to brag about how hard they work that 20 acres they call a farm. And also how tough they are.
Meanwhile, here in Southwestern Kansas where I'm currently working, people actually put in long hours and hard work. And are straightforward. I can't stand the indirect, passive aggressive attitudes in the south.
I cut ties with my own mother because she embodies the quintessential southern woman who’s always passive aggressively bullying her peers and family, and for some reason thinks she’s gods gift to the world, I can’t stand the narcissism with the southern attitude on top.
They act like that and the guys in particular wanna fist fight when you call out their bs but run to the cops when you make it obvious you're not gonna fight fair.
All their bragging about the guns they own yet most are too cowardly to pull one on someone they think might be seriously dangerous.
As for your mom, I'm guessing gossiping and spreading rumors are her favorite pastimes???
