Why do I hate my country so much?
    #19310481 - 12/22/13 03:50 AM (10 years, 2 months 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.

That's not Australian, that's just another dumbfuck making excuses for his shitty behaviour and attitude towards other people.

The entire world is full of those kinds of people.

I'm not too fond of my home country ('Murica) either.

I figure you're gonna have tons of douchebags in every country though.

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.

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:)
