When you go to a "big" regional gathering, it is therefore distinctly Poundland compared to the ones you've watched online.
So, now not only are you briefed against your friends and family who "don't support you," you also learn to denigrate your country and compatriots for not getting it. How's that for isolation? Where you're from is at the root of your identity, and girl, it's just not good enough!
