Why do I always feel that someone is bullshitting me when he's talking with an accent that is different from his 'ethnic accent'.
Example: an african (black) talking with let's say... an australian or an irish accent.
In return, although being able to speak english with a good british accent I just can't talk with it to people, it makes me feel like I am bullshiting them and betraying myself by altering my accent.
I am aware that thinking in such a way is utterly ridiculous and naive, considering that people get the accent from the region they grew up in, it makes me hate myself in someway, just by thinking that I am judging people because of their accent not matching their face.
I want to get rid of these hideous thoughts, but I can't help it.
any advice?
