[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because my home town in a crime filled cess pool and people tend to avoid me if I tell them where I am from when they first meet me. Eventually, once they have gotten to know me, and know I won't cut them, I will talk about it. [/quote]

Newark?

Compton?

Those are literally the only two cities with nationally recognized negative connotations. [/quote]

I'm the pp. My hometown has locally recognized negative connotations, particularly in Virginia. It doesn't have to be "national."
When I moved further south or west, it wasn't a problem.

When I move to within one or two states near Virginia, it is an issue.  Have literally had coworkers refuse to talk to me, because they hated my hometown so much when stationed there. Hint Hint. After I opened up how much I hated it too, we usually became friendly. That's when I learned that it's best not to talk about specifically where I am from until I get to know others better. [/quote]

I suspect you are projecting.[/quote]
