British people are a peculiar breed. They tend to have a lot of British accents and habits, but their values and priorities are at odds with those of Americans. If you’re looking for a way to learn more about a British person, this is a good place to start.
So what do British people tend to be like? Well, they are often incredibly self-critical. This is because they don’t like to be judged and feel very sensitive about it. If you have a British friend, you will find that your friend will have a lot of questions about his or her life and personality. The same goes for Brits. You will often find them to be very defensive when you ask them questions about their personal life.
Brits are very much like Americans in that they tend to be overly self-critical. There are so many things that British people will have to justify to themselves that they are not at fault. For instance, Brits tend to be very proud of their country, and for a British person to be proud of a country is a very big deal. And because of this very pride, they often feel embarrassed when a country is not up to par.
In the same way, Brits tend to be overly defensive of an American person. They tend to feel that Americans are not very good people, and when an American person does something that is not in line with the Brits’ expectations of what should be done, then the Brits feel let down.
Brits are also very proud of their culture, and in that way Brits and Americans are very similar. But there is a significant difference between the two. Brits know that Americans do not do everything in their country’s best interest, which is why there have been so many instances of American citizens being treated poorly in Britain. British citizens often feel that if an American person is not doing their country’s best in a given situation, then that is a huge deal.
In response to this, one British politician, Andrew Mitchell, tweeted yesterday about the Brits’ love affair with U.S. presidents. “Brits are so proud of their country and their culture. I sometimes wonder if they are proud of all the U.S. presidents that have been a part of our lives.
Well, at least he’s not a Brit.
The tweet has been shared over 8,000 times.
Mitchell did admit to being British himself, which is definitely a good thing. Mitchell is married to Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother and has his own television show and a very popular website.
Mitchell has a very good point, but how do you tell the difference? I mean, the Brits love their country and their culture. There’s probably a similar feeling among other nations. People may not be so proud of what their U.S. presidents have been doing, but they love their country and their culture. It just takes a little digging to find out what they are proud of.
