[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assuming that people are "lying" to you and are embarrassed of their hometown or are trying to be someone they are not etc. simply because they say where they currently live, have lived for most of their live, etc. instead of where they grew up is what's actually pathological. Just so weird.[/quote]

+1. Telling someone the nearby metro area instead of the small town someone hasn’t heard of is pretty normal.

Getting butthurt enough that someone said they’re from Chicago instead of Naperville that you need to start a thread about it…that’s bizarre.[/quote]
OP's black and white thinking and pedantry makes me think she's somewhere on the autism spectrum.

Most people answer the "where are you from" question with shorthand answers, to avoid boring the asker with details.

I spend my formative years through high school living in several suburbs of Toronto which weren't technically part of that city back then. I'll just say "Toronto", rather going into the nitty-gritty of my family's moves between Etobicoke and Mississauga. If some weirdo at a cocktail party started pressing me on this and accusing me of dishonesty, I'd just excuse myself and walk away.  [/quote]

Gotta love the "Are you on the autism spectrum" question that gets inanely trotted out whenever people dont like how a thread is going.  It's the number one indicator that the OP has hit a nerve  :lol:  The irony being the vast majority of people who use it seem to be the ones who should or would be on the autism spectrum given their inability to adjust their insults to different social situations.  Their outsized overreaction and meltdown over the most basic social interactions reveal them to be people who, at the bare minimum, have some kind of social dysfunction preventing them from having deep relationships and friendships.  Maybe that's why this phrase is so popular on the site- a bit of wishful thinking and projection?[/quote]
