Almost ever person I meet for the first time, will ask me "Where are you from? Then, they tell me I have an accent. If I answer," I am from here. LA and a California native", they ask "I mean originally". Then I repeat what I just said. They still don't believe me. Other times, I have fibbed and answered either , "England, Canada, Boston or New York" Then, they believe me. I have a hearing loss. Does that have something to do with it? What should I say next time? It is getting to the point that I don't like meeting new people anymore. Please help.
