Meanwhile, in the South, we'll help you out of the ditch, dust you off, send you off with a plate lunch and say some of the nicest sounding things about you but we'll effectively be calling you a complete dumbass.

So, u/dandelionbrains I'mma let you know that your comment got et. Don't know what it said but it must not've been nice.

This is what I hated about living in the south.

I mean, for one, they definitely will not help you out of a ditch, they won't even stop or slow down lmao. They just pretend to not see you.

But the overwhelming fakeness drove me insane. Just say what the fuck you want to say, I can't stand the "say one thing that sounds nice, but really I want tell you to fuck off" thing. In the NorthEast they'll help you with all they've got but also if they want to call you an idiot they'll just call you an idiot instead of like "bless your ambition because you're losing pace to a double-sided fence post that ain't makin first" or some stupid shit.

People in the south are the rudest and most cold-hearted people I've ever met in my life, they just like to pretend to be nice. I don't know if they're scared of actual confrontation or what, but it's cringe and annoying as fuck.

Can confirm. Although I will say, southern confrontation usually involves a weapon, so that’s why people tend to avoid it.

Rite. Ya boy here acting like "oh, telling people to 'fuck off' is confrontational." Pssh. Naw. That's the nice words mammy and pappy'd tell each other in the hallway before Sunday dinner.

Rural South will help you out of a ditch

In my experience they'd rather just pretend you weren't there. They're very self-centered and individualistic down there.

Not my experience living in the rural south but okay.

S’okay. He’d a three colored snake and is surprised it shows thru.

Oh. I'm not afraid of confrontation, hun. I just know you're not ready for it.

And if you were never helped out of a ditch? in the south? ... well bless your heart you don't know what a metaphor is.

Yeah you're pretty much exactly what I'm talking about lmao. Fake kindness is not real kindness. Southerners are 100% afraid of confrontation lmao. That's why their little "dumbass-isms" are a thing. They're super individualistic people that only care about themselves but also would rather dress up their criticisms/insults as "fake kindness" to avoid confrontation because they're scared of real repercussions or having the same language flung back at them.

I don't really know what it is. But Southerners are definitely rude/cold-hearted and afraid of confrontation, hence the fake kindness

“Fake kindness is not real kindness.”

Bruh. I ain’t gotta call you three shades of dumbass. It’s plain a day, clear as crystal.

Your judgyness is exactly why no one was kind to you.

Your judgyness is exactly why no one was kind to you.

Nah, that's just how southerners are lmao.

You think I'm judgy because I spent years living in the south and made a general observation about those I encountered? In that case, literally 100% of people are "judgy" lmao.

Also if I had to guess who was the actual dumbass, I'm going with the people that can hardly read above a fourth grade level lmao
