My country of origin is universally hated by a lot of people and, being from that country, I always get this odd feeling that I should apologise when I say where I'm from. It is generally a shithole tbf, which is why I left (twice lol) so it's never triggered me if ppl say so. However, it is a matter of perception as many ppl think it's wonderful. My adopted country, on the other hand, seems to be universally loved and admired. The difference in the 2 countries in terms of how ppl react and how you're treated when they ask you where you're from is HUGE. I often switch up the 2 choices just to observe the different reactions.
