Have name changed as moan about this a irl and think combined with my other posts would put me.
However, in the last year have moved to a very “of money” up market area (sort of imagine Hampstead garden suburb but not).
I have found that thanks so my strong accent and penchant for wearing ordinary clothes seems to be setting me ok a back foot.
I know some of this may be my own insecurities however habe had issues such as - neighbour in gazillion pound house assuming that when I said no to her builders using my garden for a loo talking slowly and patiently to me like I’m an idiot, when walking my dog around the local area other dog walkers asking if I’ve come far (quite enjoy pointing and saying “no I live there” and just low lever snobbery.
While fully aware that this is to some degree a nice problem to have, it does make me feel like crap (and like moving back to my perfectly nice area I was before).
I guess it’s more wwyd and how can I deal with it.
