Why do upper middle class white people seem disgusted when they see me?

[GuineaDago585]

I’ve noticed when I talk to the higher ups at work they’re always put off by my presence, almost to the point of disgust. It’ll be like “how you doing” then they just stare at me with these bug eyes and force a hi before walking away.

Even when I shop in the rich part of town, the cashier will be all friendly and talkative to the person in front of me, but then when I get up there it’s awkward silence or they keep their head down, straight to business.

I am a white dude myself so it’s not racial, but whenever I come across an upper middle class minority in conversation they seem more comfortable with my personality srs. It’s weird. Maybe because I have a beard, work out, walk a certain way and have a working class accent? Dunno. Anyone aware of this phenomenon?

italians arent white boyo

[explosiveMidget]

Wait, you're a white dude? you have a really tanned hand I thought you were black or indian

[Imaneya]

Are you a baldcel? Western white people generally don't like baldcels.

I get on well with most people.

But I’ve had similar things happen a few times.

I use to work for a pretty big company. We were building a project that involved multiple other companies working alongside us.

One of my jobs was a weekly team meeting with the other companies higher ups to make sure we were all on the same page and how we were progressing and de-conflicting any schedule clashes.

The people these companies would send were near the top of their companies and all had a chip on their shoulders. It wasn’t race, we were all white but they definitely treated me with some discontent at times.

I put it down to two reasons.

1: My accent, I came from working class family. Studied hard and made something of my life but never forgot my roots. I think that pisses people off to be honest, and I'm glad it does.

2: Age, I was half their age and they were having to listen to me. I think they viewed me as just a kid at times to be honest.

Regardless I had a job to do and made sure it was done properly and professionally.

Haven't met you so hard to say.

- physically intimidating

- something in how you dress or groom yourself

- how you smell...not being mean, some people are just unaware...too much cologne, not enough bathing, food smells

- too serious looking...RBF

i see indians everyday and they act better than everyone.maybe its cause they have family wealth or whatever but they act smugger than anyone i ever met.they put Gmiscer to shame.plot twist.Gmiscer is Indian.DED FKN SRS!

With out observing you in action it is impossible to guess, ask a close friend or someone that you trust.

[GuineaDago585]

Indians probably look down on you too. Don't let them do this, they're browner than you.

Funny enough Indians do not like me either. I went to an Indian restaurant and the sloot working there with rubies in her forehead was staring at me like I did not belong. The manager came up rudely asking what I wanted when I was just there to pick up an order.

I usually get along best with poor/working class and middle class whites, middle class (not ghetto) blacks, middle class Puerto Ricans and lower class Asians (like inner city Lao, Viet, Thai people etc.)

lol nah that avi was just lighting + peak summer tan, my skin is more of a light olive complexion most of the time.

Not yet. I basically look like Vinny from Jersey Shore with a Die Hard 3 Bruce Willis hairline, and a beard like Osama Bin Laden (ded fkin srs).

Feels. I can relate to much of this. I’m like an outlier in my profession in that I come from a blue collar working class (poor) family from the city, so I have those personality traits, but most of the people I’m around have college degrees and were raised in healthy middle class suburban families.

What is a working class accent?

[leoaa777]

Are you dirty? Like unkempt appearance?

[nickh04]

post a pic of yourself OP so we can judge

[AncientYouth]

maybe try to stop r**ing them

[x-trainer ben]

What is a working class accent?

My first guess is Boston

[akferd]

Just imagine how actual wealthy people would treat you.

Maybe you should look down on them and treat them like chit every opporunity you get. Or become one of those cops that likes to harass uppity white folk, since they dont have the power to do anything about it. Seems like it could be a fun job.

[kengriffeyjr24]

Working class accent is just cope for speaking in an unintelligent manner.

No one cares if you have a strong ny or boston accent..you probably speak in general in a low iq manner

I feel like people have been friendlier/more receptive to my presence recently. Like they automatically like me. My guesses:

- Higher bodyfat. Have a round head/puffy cheeks make me look more jolly.

- Typically smiling when I enter a (non-serious/light-hearted) conversation. Want them to know I'm genuinely interested in what they have to say.

- Look slightly disheveled, but dress well. Let's people know you don't take yourself too seriously. Receding hairline, never shave etc. But with nice fitted clothes and cologne.

Honestly, watched this video years ago and act like Tom Cruise when I meet people (except as a southerner from rural Alabama)

I used to work in ritzy areas where my family owned businesses. My father and I helped him out around his business. and his mother (my gramms) always taught him that there is nothing wrong with poverty. In its proper place. Pretty old school compared to some of the advice in 2023 I’d imagine. She hated scholarship students, and loved Ronald Reagan. I was raised in a household where men like him, Christopher Columbus, and Roosevelt were heroic.
Most of the shoppers in those type of plazas are very right leaning for some reason.

If i became rich or super famous (which I wouldn't want) I'd treat people exactly the same in fact I'd look up to them like I usually do.

Respect the humility of tom cruise, keanu reeves, johnny depp etc.

[Duckliver]

Its because they dont expect you to engage them in conversation, they just expect you to empty the trash cans and move along.
