This might seem a bizarre one, but it's true more often than not when I end up interacting with people from a specific country in the world. My mind has been going crazy all night because of the way nationals of this country more often than not react to me. Almost always when a national of that country takes notice of me, I'm pounced on, in an often brutal or insulting way.

After another experience today of persecution by a national of that country, I reached a threshold where I've given up on that country, despite the fact I'd normally not do such a thing for the sake of it. I guess repeated upsetting experiences can do this, especially given it almost always happens with one nation but not any others. I suppose nationals of that country are essentially a brutal, cruel people, though realistically speaking it's more of a fundamental cultural clash. Last time I was in an online chat with a national of that country, they immediately tried to find a way to accuse me of being a paedophile.

Nationals of that country are also not above directly telling me I am stupid. Outside that nation, it doesn't normally happen. I can't understand why one particular nation would hate me so much and interactions with them are almost always so upsetting. I mean, what have I done to them? Nothing. A list of (only a handful of countries) just scrolled on my TV screen... then the nation in question appears and I had violent thoughts, in which I slammed a fist hard in my other hand.

But at the end of the day, I'm aware I am essentially a reasonable person but one who just has some social difficulties. These difficulties are obviously something that nationals of a certain country seem to wish to emotionally persecute.

For the sake of it, how do you look like and how to the opposing people look like? It might be because you look completely different from them and therefore have negative views on your race. For example, in mainly White-populated areas in the Americas, people may have negative views on Asians or Black people. Also, because of the way you act, people may feel their culture is "threatened" by your ways and nationalist feelings may rise.

Unless you live in that country, or do business in that country, pay them no mind. They are not your people. I don't consider myself a nationalist, but your nation is the best substitute for a community you have. People outside your nation are not part of your community simply because they do not rank values the same way you do.

I don't wish to reveal which nationality it is, as if they keep causing offence to me, then I don't wish to go down to the same level of possible causing offence to it.

Both nations though, both mine and the "opposing" nation, are predominantly white/Caucasian nations, so it can't be a question of race. If they feel threatened by my ways, which I presume they do, I can only assume this particular people is not tolerant of social naivety. I don't live in that country, but the reason I've had contact with them is partly thanks to the Internet, and partly thanks to sufficient numbers of them where I live to make some contact with them inevitable offline too.

This is the haven. If you want you can dispense with the political correctness here. There is a difference between saying you and another group have a problem with each other and going on a tirade about them. People that scream racism and bigotry over every little thing are intellectual cowards anyway.

Just say what's on your mind so we can know how to give you advice. :)

You must give off a creepy pervy vibe, try smiling or telling a joke or two. When I feel I am making people uncomfortable I say something funny. Just the other day I had to go to get blood work done for a doctor's visit. People were looking at me funny at me. We were all watching tv the host was talking about Kim Karashian divorcing her husband so I said "She got that one all used up and dirty, now its time for a new onw." The the host said she gets to keep the wedding ring but I said "But her husband gets to keep the herpes forever." I had the people giggling when I was called up to give my blood and urine sample. They were all wavying at me when I left the building. 8) :lol: :wink:

It does not take much to keep NT's amused. :wink:

Is it because you are the pope? :wink:

That was a joke, human populations have a need for an aggressive outlet so it is very common for the leaders of a country/group to choose a weak minority or foreign nation to paint as evil and the source of all that is wrong in the world as a way of controlling the population.

America did it with the soviet Union.
Iran does it with America.
Argentina does it with Britain.

Britain alternates between the poor and the muslims. (switching attention between the two groups when the angry majority start violently attacking the persecuted group too often)

The Muslims really don't help themselves to put it mildly though. Trust me on this one.

I have taken, and do take, every step I possibly can to avoid doing just that, thank you very much. :evil:

The English are obsessed with paedophilia like no other nation in Europe... apart from, perhaps, the Irish. I'd stick it on the English.

Only an American or a Frenchman could manage to act like such a judgmental f***tard.

I'm betting on American.

Also apologizing on behalf of my stupid, judgmental, self-absorbed nation.

Conditions in Europe improved in the 19th century because they sent all the f***tards across the pond.
