>>50053286Yeah but literally everything I do and say exposes me as a toff, which so many people just hate instinctively. The levels of reverse snobbery in this country are astounding.
Topics of conversation - where I live, where I went on holiday, what university I'm at, what my parents do - they all give me away as someone a lot of people won't want to talk to. Never mind politics, which is an absolute no go area. The way I look, talk and dress are also give-aways.
I was speaking to guy I met at uni and we were having a nice conversation. We're both from London, and he asked me whereabouts in London I was from. I told him and he immediately went 'ah you're one of those posh boys'. What the fuck? I know it wasn't malicious but it just makes me feel really awkward. Would I say to him 'ah you're one of those poor people'?
I know I'm an awkward sperg and if I was a more relaxed it would be better, but I still feel like people are really warped by the class system. So many normal people I meet at uni have all these wild assumptions about me just because I went to private school, like someone honestly thought I didn't have to do exams and just paid to get in. Some other guy lectured me about bloodsports and shooting because he assumed that's how I spend my weekends
