Have you ever been treated bad in a small town for being an "outsider"?

Answer 1

yeah

Answer 2

I wouldn't say bad- but, ignored. People in the small Town where my children go to school are very unfriendly and cold to people who weren't born in the community. I've been here for 14 years and know very few people. I don't live in the town, but on a farm outside the town. The only people who are friendly are the ones who are not originally from the area. The town has less than 700 people, and everyone is related to everybody else. The only reason I live here is because my husbands job is here.

Answer 3

a lot of small towners don't have any money, which means they can't go anywhere else and so if you can't go anywhere then naturally whatever is where you are is going to be a big deal and your probably going to wind up loving it and investing in it because it's all you have and so new people who come in, seem to be people who have choices or they wouldn't have the money move maybe? and so that ignite a little bit of jealousy. I lived in one, and I guess, I never spoke to many people there because I just got the feeling that they wouldn't want to speak to me anyway, from the very beginning; it's just perception, I'm sure if I had felt better then; there would have been a better reaction to me, but even still there should have more than there was.

Answer 4

Small towns are like that. The important thing to remember is that they aren't like most of the world.

I grew up in a small town and I friggin owned that place. I was a Big Fish in a little pond, and now that I live in a city I see how small I really am.

The people who consider you an "outsider" will someday realize that arent as self important as they think they are.

Answer 5

I live in a small town and when I was young I could not wait to leave. They can be the most miserable places to be different or from somewhere else. The unknown is feared by the small minds.

Answer 8

Yes...the small town in Alabama where I was born. I moved back there briefly after I got out of the military and I've never seen so many rude people in my life. They treated me like crap until they realized who I was...but at that point, I told them to go to hell.

Answer 9
