I'm a self loathing southerner.

I hate being southern, and I hate my accent and ashamed of being from the south that it makes me feel suicidal and don't wanna live anymore, people say i'm trolling but I'm being serious. According to everyone else, I'm just a worthless dumb hillbilly.

Being southern is nature's curse and a mistake, every time I travel to another state, I talk very slow and quietly so people don't recognize what state i'm from, I'm from Alabama and I'm ashamed of it, when someone asks where I'm from, I get tears in my eyes and cry, I'm ashamed of my Appalachian roots and southern roots when I look in the mirror and see my high cheekbones I see a hillbilly mountain person face and a redneck face. Just venting and getting this out of my chest.

Read some Lewis Grizzard, and you'll be cured!
"There is no such thing as being too Southern"


Here's some more Grizzard quotes:

@helenS Absolutely. Lewis Grizzard was a brilliant writer and his writings will live on. I miss him

@TAReturns I have two of Lewis' books:
"Don't forget to call your mama, wish I could call mine!"
and
"It wasn't always easy but I sure had fun."
Both books are excellent representations of the spirit of the American South.

@helenS I have both of those and a half dozen others. I recommend “Don’t sit under the grits tree with anyone else but me” and “If I ever get back to Georgia I’m gonna nail my feet to the ground”

@TAReturns I nailed my feet to ground when I got back to my homeland too!

@helenS If you only nailed one then you'd spend your life going round in circles. 😺
