10 signs that give out a provincial

Provincial… Hearing this word, the inhabitants of the capital make contemptuous faces, they immediately imagine a village girl or a guy who will do everything to “catch” in a big city. It is believed that provincials are betrayed by incorrect speech, lack of a good education, unfashionable clothes.

That’s just a lot depends not on the place of birth of a person, but on his character and aspirations. Other provincials will give odds to the natives of the capital.

This article will not focus on provincials – residents of small towns. This word has another meaning. This is a label for people whose views and interests are limited. They cannot become free, they live with an eye on someone else’s opinion and all the time they want to seem better than they really are.

Below are 10 signs that give out a provincial.

10 housing envy

A provincial with a head betrays envy of someone else’s real estate. He envies everyone: friends, acquaintances, even his neighbor grandmother. Although there is nothing to envy here. Each person has his own home.

One is destined to be born in the capital, the other in a small town or even in a village. If you came to the capital, then you left the house, most likely the parental one.

So, most of your new acquaintances – the indigenous inhabitants of the capital, share their living space with their parents, grandfathers, grandmothers, sisters, brothers in the same way.

By the way, it often happens that children grow up and want to live separately from their parents. They also rent an apartment or take out a mortgage. The only difference is that they have a permanent residence here.

Do not waste energy on envy, it is better to set a goal and achieve it.

9. Choose trendy places, clothes, and other items of general admiration

The provincial strives to always look decent. But when buying clothes, he thinks not about quality, but about the fact that these things are expensive, fashionable and popular.

He tries to get to all cultural events, not because it’s interesting, but because it’s fashionable, and you can also meet “the right people” there.

Think why do you need it? Live the way you want, without regard to fashion trends and the behavior of your metropolitan acquaintances. Perhaps they also play a role.

It is much more pleasant to communicate with a person if he does not build anything out of himself. By the way, many rich people do not “stick out” their level of wealth, they do not stand out from the crowd, they just do not need it.

8. Short memory for one’s own biography

The provincial does not like to talk about himself. He will not answer a single question honestly, or he will start to laugh it off, or come up with some kind of fairy tale.

If you recognize yourself, maybe you should change your behavior? No one is asking you to tell everything about yourself. But there is nothing shameful in the fact that you studied at the secondary school in the city of Uryupinsk, graduated from a technical school there and even worked at a local factory. What matters is what you have achieved now.

Many provincials have achieved dizzying success in the capital, but they remember their biography to the smallest detail and do not hesitate to admit it.

7. To believe that somewhere out there it is better to live, but to do nothing

Provincials are very fond of talking about “what is better somewhere”. Usually we are talking about life in other states. There are high salaries, there a specialist with a secondary education can save up for a cottage in a year, there is a different level of health care and education.

Such conversations are very tiring. Even if you think so, you should not share your thoughts with others. If you like another country, go there and start a new life, and do not shake the air with empty talk.

6. Lots of gold: chains, rings, watches…

Each provincial considers it necessary to show his financial condition. Very often this happens when a person was poor and then became rich. Yes, a provincial can be rich, this does not change his thinking, he still thinks narrowly.

So, a man buys a thick gold chain, watches, rings. Women generally do not know the measure in jewelry. They put on chains, bracelets, rings on all fingers. Although you don’t have to be rich to buy gold, you can even borrow it.

Countless decorations will not make you a native of the capital, and those around you will soon associate you with a sparkling New Year tree.

5. Proximity to the local “star”

The provincial thinks that acquaintance with the star gives him an advantage. Although often this cannot even be called an acquaintance: a chance meeting on the landing or at a social event.

A person begins to tell everyone around that he is familiar with a celebrity. He believes that this fact will exalt him in the eyes of others.

He does not think that for the inhabitants of the capital, acquaintance with a celebrity is not the ultimate dream. They probably had a similar situation more than once, but it never occurred to them to brag about it.

Indeed, there is nothing to brag about here. This is someone else’s success, you have nothing to do with it.

4. To despise one’s native places and not to love one’s own

The provincial does not like to remember his city and everything connected with it. He disowns his relatives and friends, considers them losers. He thinks he has escaped from this small town, and this elevates him above the people who remained there.

Such a person will be ashamed of his parents, relatives. He will diligently study the rules of good manners and will try to get rid of everything that reminds him of his homeland.

People who think freely are always grateful to their parents, they fondly remember their small town or village. Even having achieved success, they will never be ashamed of their past.

3. Worry about what people think

The only thing that worries the provincial is the opinion of the people around him. Such a person is afraid to do something that will compromise him in the eyes of other people.

For example, a provincial has a car, a simple, domestic one. So he will park a couple of blocks from the place of work, and tell his colleagues that his foreign car-swallow again had to be given to the service. “I crumpled the wing, drove into the bumper … A friend gave me a ride …”.

This is just an example, there can be a huge number of such situations. And this applies not only to material issues.

2. Don’t trust anyone, do everything yourself

Another trait that betrays a provincial. A person tries to do everything himself, even if he does not have the appropriate experience and skills. It doesn’t always work out, but it goes right through. He does not know how to delegate authority to employees, he himself solves domestic issues.

Yes, only a provincial will undertake to repair a crane when he does not understand anything about it. Nothing that later he will have to make repairs in a rented apartment, as well as pay for the repair of neighbors from below after the “flood”. If you have this quality, get rid of it immediately.

1. Lack of empathy and overwhelming selfishness

The provincial does not show compassion, does not help people. He adheres to a special tactic: “Think only of yourself, do only for yourself.” He does not want to waste his time and energy on strangers, it is better to strive for his goal and achieve it as soon as possible, without being distracted by the problems of others.

If you’re acting like this, consider that you might need help too. But no one will help you, because at some point you ignored the requests of other people.

Help people with deeds and words. All the good things you do will definitely come back to you.
