Code switching by hiding my southern accent from others.

And why would you want to hide it... its a lovely accent .Most certainly one the more interesting ones.

People love my southern accent and I don't mind it. There's nothing to be ashamed of...

The southern accent is beautiful and lovely. It was a good thing to have one. The pet that dog video did not do it any favors however.

Imagine if you had a Boston accent. Like a real hard one. That's troublesome for me.
