Why do I hate my country so much?
    #19310481 - 12/22/13 03:50 AM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Everyone around me seems to fucking love Australia. When in my eyes it's a really unintelligent and uninteresting place with horrible hot weather. Since I was old enough to have independent thoughts I've always cringed at our accents and tried to reject my own Australian accent, and the way most Australians speak... 'Ow ya goin mate? Yeah mate. Mate mate mate mate mate mate' :zomgwtf:

Most of the country is really fucking fat, we're probably fatter than America based on percentage. The culture in general just pisses me off and it's really affected my life. I found it hard to fit in at school and such because most of the other kids made me sick. Over-using words like 'cunt' and whatnot in the thickest most vomit inducing 'Aussie' accent :facepalm:

Lucky I've found a few friends in my life that don't make me feel like this, but they don't feel the same way, meaning they like their country and feel they belong here. Whereas I just feel like an alien. I hate our culture, whether, vibe and anything you could generally associate with Australians.

I've always wanted to live somewhere else, in my early teens I wanted to go to America, but now I'm open to a lot more places, mainly in Europe/UK. But still, I want to know if this is normal, to feel so repulsed by the slab of land I was born on and the people on it?

Believe me I've tried to accept it, for so long, but to no avail. I still feel like a half wit Aussie, half ape. I guess that's because I am....

Oh, and being a guitarist, pianist and general musical person I am so pissed that I've only ever found one or two Australian bands I like over my whole life. I give lots a chance, but always end up feeling a lame, influenced by acdc and other shit, 'Aussie rock' vibe that is just... Eugh

Weird post I know but if anyone has some input or advice or anything I'd really appreciate it...

:feelssadman:

I kind of feel the same way, but not so much any more. I certainly understand where you're coming from, though. It used to shit me a lot more than it does these days.

But you don't have to embrace the occa bullshit to appreciate the country you live in and be more accepting of people. Try and learn to be a little more accepting in general. Go and eat some mushrooms or something, if it helps.

Fuck gum trees, though. :crankey:

I have taken LSD and it has made me a lot more down to earth and less egotistical, though still incapable of appreciating my own country it seems. Don't think ill ever like this place, so i am planning to leave when i get my first chance to. Oh I'm not a well known poster or anything haha

You are capable, you can accept it, deep down you just don't want to.

Keep telling yourself how repulsed you are by it all and you'll never learn to accept. You have to move past it.

Well, like I said before, you can be appreciative of the country you live in without embracing all that annoying occa crap.

I'll be moving away after uni, myself but that doesn't mean I have any shame of where I come from. And foreigners love Aussies, they think we're sexy. :smirk:

You'll still be yourself if you learn to open your heart a little... You don't have to start speaking in a thick accent and endearingly calling people cunts.

To be fair, I had an online friend who became more and more of a jerk until I broke with him who defended his antisocial behavior with "hey mate I'm an australian, take it or leave it, we don't bullshit here" and then went off on an even bigger bigoted, unreasonable, antisocial tangent. And friends kept saying "yeah he's an australian, they are like that."

It gave me a dislike of Australians, especially nationalist ones  :uhhnothanks:

FFS inbred rednecks are a subculture in the US, not a foundation of national identity.

Hey Op, if you dislike the wether, have you considered the alpine regions of the country, or Tasmania?
I'd imagine it's be a lot cooler there, although unlikely Canada cold.

Personally i'm not a big fan either. Because we all speak it though, i don't notice it usually. Some people seem to have a more exaggerated version than others, i notice that, and it's not great. I however prefer to focus on the positives. There was a study done a few years ago, from people all over the world, to find out what the most sexiest accent is. Australia ranked 3rd.

Most of the country is really fucking fat



I don't know about the whole country, but i will definitely confirm that in my home town, obesity is abundant, it can be pretty gross sometimes.

ACDC is over rated and sucks ball.

Crowded House is one of my favorite bands. They're New Zealanders, but they formed the band in Australia, so are considered an Australian band, (minus the Aussie accent :wink:)

I think culture should be hated in general. I hate when I see people making culture their number one priority and they do all this treadmill fake shit like pretend to be interested/interesting, with it, saying they've had that experience, seen that movie, as if it's not all a personal affair that has nothing to do with them... It's your experience that counts, your opinions, your perspectives... Culture and people who try to push it on you are the worst, and it's most people. They didn't want their lives to miss out so they joined the culture and now they miss out on reality. It's also really embarrassing to see them waste their time with so much effort.

Intelligent people don't ascribe to any culture, at all, ever.

I'm Australian too by the way.

Well this didn't make me feel any better about being born in Australia, and yes i know all western countries have problems like these. But seriously fuck Australia and it's inhabitants including me. I hate myself for being what I am, australian. What the fuck am i supposed to do?? i've tried hard to not be such a negative cynic but i just can't.

I can't help feel like a useless australian that makes bad music. Every australian band the singer is just so horrible sounding. Look at this song by one of the most successful australian bands right now. It's fucking cheesy as fuck and so so boring and sounds like it belongs on a kodak commercial. I had to watch them live because they were supporting muse a few weeks ago, lucky i had ear plugs...


I can't believe they supported muse, they're so average, there must be a thousand bands with more energy, better songs, better lyrics but no this fucking band is at the top right now and for some reason it makes me sick

Why do people love Australia?

You all are consistently rated the happiest people in the world by all measures and despite some health issues have the 4th highest life expectancy in the world. You blow both America and the UK in terms of health, life expectancy, quality of life, and happiness per dollar spent. Your nation is up and coming. It has an incredibly strong economy, has a good amount of natural resources, is environmentally conscious, and continues to develop industries. You have a 99% literacy rate and relatively affordable higher education.

You have amazing access to the outdoors and utterly fascinating landscapes and wildlife. Australia is a bucket list item for many people for a big reason.

I don't know what part of Australia you are from. Since you are complaining about horrible hot weather I assume N. Queensland or perhaps the Northern Coast. I'll grant you that the weather in the Northern half of Australia can be unpleasant, but I'd personally find the climate of Tasmania, NSW, and Perth to be much more ideal than most of the US or Europe.

You think America and the UK aren't full of fuckwits, materialism, hedonism, lack of concern for health, a culture lacking in intelligence, and other bullshit too? I hate to break it to you, but both places (and every country I have been fortunate enough to travel to) suffer from these same problems if you open your eyes/stick around long enough.

I've never been to Australia, but long-term both America and the UK are going to be large steps down IMO. The only benefit I guess is that maybe your stress level would go down (doubtful) and you'd have a much lower risk of skin cancer on account of the significantly low amount of sun exposure you'd have in both places. As a result you'd increase your risk of depression though.

There's tons of great music that has come out of Australia. The 70s Psych Rock band Flake comes to mind immediately, but there are many others.

I'll grant you that your government would piss me off with its complete lack of respect for personal liberty and privacy, but since I am American that's the pot calling the kettle black.

It's some what normal to hate the country you are born in when you are young if you are the open-minded and rebellious type, think you know everything, and have not have your eyes opened by foreign travel. I used to hate America a lot, but traveling made me realize that I am incredibly lucky to have grown up in America despite its flaws. At the same time every trip helps me realize how many things we get terribly wrong as a society and how messed up our government is as a result. But I know I can't do anything about it so I've decided to channel the energy I used to spend bemoaning America's problems into improving myself and making my community a better place.

You don't like your country? Then travel, move, get educated so you can make a career elsewhere, etc. But I think you'll find traveling will suffice. You have it better than most of the world including most of the developing world

Still can't hurt to travel to the US and come to these realizations for yourself. With half-decent looks and an Australian accent and a lack of "cunt" in your vocabulary the panties will drop if you want them to.
