do people living /out/ or in very rural areas have different psychological characteristics than city dwellers? do /out/ people (born and raised) around the world share a common mentality? like a person from the Appalachian mountains and the Alps
>>2755620Well i know in Australia there are noticable personality differences between country and city people. Country people are more easy going, quiet, doesnt take life to seriously, etc. That's in Australia, so i dont know if its any different in other countries
>>2755620Its a fact that living in rural areas is good for you. Cities drive people insane. Country folk have a sense of community where-as people in cities only look out for themselves.
>>2755620I grew up in fairly rural areas. Childhood spent exploring the woods and playing soldier in fields. Northeast Connecticut in the 80s and 90s, it's still pretty rural I think but it's grown a lot. I would say I have a high tolerance for things people might find gross like insects, the scent of manure spread on farms.... I found a big ball of black rot on a tree in the woods the other day and my first thought wasn't "oh geez louise can this make me sick?" but "I need something to chop this off so I can see what it looks like inside"
Yeah. Urban folks are always stressed out about shit that really doesn't matter. Always in a rush, always things to do. They never really relax, without the aid of drugs or a vacation or something. Unpleasant to be around, like a dog that barks randomly and loudly.
>>2755620That's a city to me. Looks cool though.
Most humans are locusts--city dweller or rural dweller. You can see the destruction from space. Most rural dwellers ARE city dwellers that just migrated, cut down all the trees, killed all the top soil. A little town is still a concrete covered watershed killer and worse, idiots usually build right on the rivers and oceans which is directly fucking the global water supply.
>>2755653I think that's pretty normal anon. You've described some things that even most city "people" aren't all that grossed out by. I'm from the UK where londoners are observably oversocialised sex pests, and the effect gets less strong the smaller city you come from. On the other hand people from the country are fucking retarded so you win some you lose some I suppose.
>>2755740posting this type of cringe from your studio apartment in a concrete hellscape should be a capital offense.
>>2755622>Country people are more easy going, quiet, doesnt take life to seriously, etceveryone says this yet i have lived in both equally throughout my life and there arent really many differences. loud assholish people everything you travel. you have to get way out before you find the quiet hermit types
>>2755620was great during the pandemic, watching the city folk lose their shit. even had some friends escape and come live the quiet life with us for a bit. Here they were doing this >you must only go out for food, medicine, exercise except there's like 2 police in the entire town, so as you can imagine none of that was enforced. Meanwhile them city folk were being arrested and fined and shit. Also, we had everything we needed already since the store is a good hours drive away we never run out of things like food, basic supplies, TP etc. Also we have a chest freezer that was fully stocked with game meats and deer etc. So yeah we were basically preppers the entire time without realising it. I couldn't go back to living in a city, every time I go to see family I'm always looking over my shoulder and concerned about the types of people around us. None of that at home. Only problem is our internet sucks, but starlink made things a lot better.
>>2755775ugh. wtf. sure i put a space after the first line of greentext. oh well.
>>2755754Many Americans seem to be complete germophobes obsessed with cleanliness and irrationally afraid of anything that could possibly cause disease. Pic related - what you will see in the entrance to most stores here.
>>2755620>do people living /out/ or in very rural areas have different psychological characteristics than city dwellers? Yes. City people are better at filtering out distractions and noise and ignoring their surroundings.>do /out/ people (born and raised) around the world share a common mentality?No
>>2755818Shartlander's response to COVID was so strange, given that "germophobe" is considered and badge of honour.
>>2755775Where I live, nothing changed during the pandemic, except some places wanted you to wear a mask. It wasn't enforced. Nobody really cared and everything was fine.Can't imagine all the bullshit that these urbanfags had to deal with.
>>2755620yeah its called autism we all have autism and hate urbanoid people
>>2755775i live in a single family home with a backyard in a suburban type area, and i sure was lucky during the pandemic.
>psychological characteristicsThat is a weird way to say culture and way of livingLife in rural areas is much quieter and slower paced than the citySpeaking as a redneck who has lived in the ghetto
>>2755775All this. Plus city people are less probe to being political ridden conspiracy types. They will tell you that country people are conspiracy nit jobs but they really aren't, it's city folk.
I hate cities, they should never have existed
>>2755928Uncle Ted was right.
>>2755620you don't even have to go that farVisit any old town/village around italy doesn't matter if north or south. I'm talking the medieval kind rooked on top of any mountain, hill. Low pop, barely any cars or buzz.The narrow streets in these towns are usually nothing but stairs and slopes, you won't find anything on FLAT ground.You will meet a SHITLOAD of 90-100 y/o jeezers and grannies waddling around on their own like it's nothing. Good air+Shitload of cardio due to stairs and slopes+Less stress+Locally produced shit makes you live literally forever.
>>2755928>things for everyone should be the way that makes me happiest
country people have nothing going on, so they just mind each others business all the time
>>2755620This town, it was made for me!
My dad had a theory that flatlanders think in 2D and it makes sense. I was raised in the flats but spent my summers with my hillbilly cousins, I'd return in the fall and every year I'd notice what a bunch of pussies the townies were. They weren't short on macho posturing but the farmer kids and off-grid hippy kids were tough as nails and didn't feel the need to advertise it, they'd just kick your ass without any shit talk. Gyms are one thing and working with your hands all day is another. My uncle did more for making a man out of me than my dad ever did, I'm eternally grateful. I remember the day I vowed to not be a whiner after my uncle had to set my whiny cousin straight. Rural types can be strange, there are lots of characters that never could fit in with normie society. They tended to be gruff but easy to befriend and they were a gold mine of practical knowledge. Small towns have their busybodies for sure, but the good people keep them in line most of the time. The injos, though...
>>2755907"prone to", used in this sense means something like "disposed to". So being less prone to conspiracy would mean you're less likely to do it.>>2755620Here is one classic edgelord narrative (that I personally believe in): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavioral_sink
>>2756251Yeah I meant more prone but somehow wrote less probe idk why. Nevermind
>>2756197There is no need to speak in such a vulgar manner tho, cityboy
>>2755740STFU Bugman.
>>2755620It was made for me!Th- This is my city!
>>2756237>>2756424BASED redditors!
>>2755620The average person from rural Appalachia will resemble an American city dweller far more than he resembles a person from the rural parts of the Alps.
>>2755651On average, people living in urban areas are healthier and live longer.
>>2755766>People who talk about environmental destruction are cringeYes, you think like and behave just like a locust. Eat it all cut it all down and anyone who isn't just like you is "cringe.">>2756420It's amazing how any hint that your shit house, shit roads, shit technology, shit education and shit relationship with nature is made obvious you parasites only cope is brain garbage ejaculations of nonsense.Locusts, I can see your destruction from space.
>>2756434Bugpost. You just keep outing yourself as a city dweller.
rural ppl, especially older people; they never throw things away. probably a ww2 era leftover from their parents and grandparents.
Got out of bed this morning and took a short 30 minute drive through farm land and then walked for a few hours through national park and made myself a coffee then walked home. Good to be back in the country, I wouldn't even be out of the city in the time it took me to get to the trail head.
>>2755620Due to generations of brain drain to the cities, ruralites are noticeably less intelligent and more susceptible to religious superstition.
>>2759294You're confusing smart people with sociopaths.a Common mistake made by city parasites like you.
>>2756441yes, you're a locust and me identifying that is bug posting--you're a bug I've identified: a parasitic one.
>>2755620
>>2755769I've lived a few places, in big city and literal bumfuck nowhere with 50 inhabitants in a village.Rural people work harder, know how to fix their own shit, and are way more chill to be around.There's much less of the pretend shit that you find in every city, status seeking and bullshit.There are very clear differences.
Torontonian here. I've been around some rural areas away from the city and here is what I've noticed. The first salient quality that will pop out at you if you spend time around ruraloids is an extreme inferiority complex and need to prove oneself that manifests itself in many forms. This can be in forms of attacking education credentials, believing common negative images of city life that have no empirical basis in reality regarding the city in question i.e., constantly bringing up crime, ignoring the fact that Toronto has a lower crime rate than many smaller towns. Pre emptively being defensive and insulting toward you when you had no intention of saying anything negative. Being willing to dish it out but not take it in return. And generally being reflexively contrarian to any idea associated with urbanites without thoughtfully assessing it on it's own merits.
>>2755620City dwellers either are scared of or romanticise /out/.Real /out/lers have a realisic mix of respect and love for it.Villagers suffer from a tragic lack of both.
>>2755622This, but not necessarily in a good way.A lot of rural life is subsistence since you have and inherit wealth, and you are expected to maintain rather than create your status. Whereas cities are more cutthroat, but people respect themselves, their time, and other's time far more. I'm regretting moving to the countryside solely because of the culture here (the South). No one actually cares about anything, especially their families, outside of the superficial.
>>2756430>being surrounded by pollution, microplastics and murderous brown people is healthierok moshe
>>2760996Happens to be a fact, I'm afraid. Mortality rates (overall as well as age-adjusted) are higher in rural areas. Rural people are at higher risk of heart disease, cancer, respiratory disease, and stroke. Suicides happen more frequently per capita in rural areas, and substance abuse is more prevalent. Rural populations are also substantially more obese.
>>2760731yeah, of urban, suburban and rural, suburban really sucks. It can be fine but it's dumb. As a teenager, you are in a cliche of super uptightness and then you rebel in the tiniest of ways and it's a big deal. In the country and also in the city there is just much more to life. Either one is "the jungle" compared to suburbia. I think people aren't all that different but the place still is. I could be in the country totally alone, or be surrounded by people and still in my bubble. Or, not, and there are still some people in rural spots. Just like the same 20 people that's it.
As someone thats lived everywhere from extremely rural to suburban to extremely dense, I would say the middle of the road people are the worst. Too lazy to walk on their own two feet, incapable of navigating on their own. I once dated a suburbanite who'd moved to NYC, and she couldnt navigate a basic fucking grid system on her own. Conversely, a former housemate of mine in somewhat rural Pennsylvania who'd grown up in the suburbs of Chicago couldnt pay any attention to landmarks when navigating and was insistent on driving everywhere, could not get anywhere without google maps, and didnt know local shops in the town near us even existed without them being on Google maps. He literally did not pay attention to his surroundings, did not take note of shopfronts at all. Only crossed the street when the signal said he could walk, instead of looking both ways like common sense tells you to. I later learned that there are some studies about suburbanites being worse at navigation, not really sure why that is, and I'd also reckon that rural folks and urban folks both have stronger communal ties than suburbanites but thats just anecdotal on my part.
ye most are schizoid or schizotypal
>>2761885>SchizoidOnly kikes unironically call people this.Psychology is a jewish construct invented to push drugs on non jewish children.
>>2761980ye whatever schizo
>living in the city>+1000 points of probability to find gf>Lots of activities to do, free if you're poor like me>Can go to job with public transport / bicycle / on footNow let's see rural living>Nothing but fields around >You want to go for a walk and window shopping? Too bat, look at this empty field>0 mating possibilities >Must take car to go anywhere Rural is shit unless you happen to have a personal harem
>>2755740Be it a farm or a city, the mindset of endless devouring is just the same.
>>2755740This is true. Some lady just bought 5 acres in my small town and immediately had them bulldozed to an ugly, orange square of death. Now she'll put a cheap plastic trailer on it, live there for 5 years, and litter all over the place until she accidentallies and her cats eat her prion-filled corpseHumans destroy everything everywhere they go
Life is less stressful and more slow paced in the country. Farming, fishing, hunting is all at the pace of the seasons.
>>2755620I’ve heard that schizophrenia rates are much higher in urban areas. Associated with paranoia, overly cautious behaviour, and overall a very distressing and poor mental state to be in.
>>2756626My grandparents are like that. Gpa has a few sheds full of junk and tools he will (probably) never use and my gma gets irritated if i throw scrap paper away. The house is clean though, they arent your average shithead hoarder. I found some cool vietnam gear and bags in one of the sheds that i used to larp with my brother as a kid. As a pennypincher i appreciate the mindset
>>2760647Thats a canadian thing. Yalls just a bunch of fags
>>2762043Skill issue. Ive fucked every girl at the rural king (even the uggos) and now aldis hired a few qt3.14s. Also>need a car wahhhhJesus christ man, you do have a job right?
the problem with living in rural places is eventually you get done in by a serial killer, many such cases.
>>2762043>>0 mating possibilitiesLearn to love nature and you will never lack a mate.
>>2755620Thinly veiled identity thread
>>2763150> you get done in by a serial killerstatistically irrelevant
>>2755651>Country folk have a sense of community where-as people in cities only look out for themselves.Hmm... really makes me think... I wonder why a once mono cultural country like the US could have drastically changed so much...
>>2755620Villages in my district are often as small as 3 or 6 people and 20 to 80km from the next supermarket. If there are more than 50 people you wouldn't call it a village. Towns are between 50 and 600 people. Cities between 1000 and 2000 people. The big cities are 30000 and 60000 people.Villagers are all mentally ill, Autism, schizoid personality, ADHD. They received these labels from big city people at universities who are of course perfectly normal.Townsmen are always degenerate hillbillies. They have to be belittled and put on the autism spectrum for their uncouth behavior.City dwellers are your typical farmers, conservative.And people from the big cities have inferiority complexes, and are prone to being manipulated by media and politics.
>>2756429>Rural part of the AlpsNo such thing.You can not even compare rural Scandinavia to the remoteness of Appalachia though there are some similar types of people. Not in the alps though.
>>2755620Thirdie here, Rural folks in my country tend to be worse than urbanites in terms of behavior and are looked down upon. Which is quite opposite of the positive image rural people have in the first world.The good traits:Loyal, helpful to strangers, generous, direct, talkative, women are trad, trustingThe bad traits:Nosey, trusting, patriotic and religious, loud, dirty, hold grudges, no sense of personal space or belongings (will you use your stuffs without asking)
>>2761200>>2761226That might be due to the reason most people move to suburbia. Seems like a lot of them don't want to have to deal with other people at all, least of all with those that have different ideas or opinions, even if it's just the front yard style.In rural areas and dense cities people know they'll have to.
>>2755622That's pretty accurate, but things can get a bit wild the further out you go. I left a corporate job in the Melbourne CBD to do farm work a while back near Albury/Wodonga Corowa etc. Very happy for ages but I started driving further out with a cattle truck where things got grim. Regional areas are chill but some really rural places are on some actual Wolf Creek shit with gun-toting ice junkies running around doing junkie shit with no local police station or fire brigade / CFA building when it isn't even Alice Springs, it's just Falls Creek and Mt Kosciuszko when it isn't ski season. You have to swing a maglite at some derro trying to break into your dunny at 2am and accidentally smash the window sometimes, but the housing is also very cheap and not infested with chinese and indian immigrants. Omeo is probably Alabama/10 which I'm fine with
>>2763933>no sense of personal space or belongings (will you use your stuffs without asking)Haha mate that happens here in Australia in indigenous communities. Your lawnmower will get stolen one day and the culprit will come back to ask for the grass catcher the next. Which country are you in?
>>2763907>alps in scandinavyLol lmao burger moment
