I've come to the conclusion that some
people actually LIKE being patronized.
Seems unbelievable, to me.
Behavior that would have me
close to throwing hands, is the
assumed, for some.
-
Some people need that, I guess. :-\
Wait...what are you talking about, anyway? :laugh:
-
Thinking about flo, actually. :laugh:
-
my usual response to cries of, "stop treating me like a kid!" is, "stop acting like one, then."
just thought i'd point that out.
-
I hate being patronised
It bothered me more when I got it from other kids at school because they thought I was thick (I never answered even simple questions when asked and things like that, even though I knew the answers)
Being treated like I'm stupid by people who I'm likely more intelligent than pisses me off the most
I can understand why most people tend to treat me like a child sometimes, as I can be pretty immature, and emotionally I am more like a 13 year old apparently :laugh:
I don't think that is true though, but I am quite naive in ways other people my age seem to have grown out of. Maybe that's why people treat me younger than I am. I figure they'll stop eventually though so it doesn't bother me too much.

Don't count on it.
-
Hopefully I will seem older to people though eventually. I think people see me as younger than I am (IRL anyway, dunno about online), and that's why they treat me younger
-
Yeah. you look young.
I get that too, I think.
But, I know that how I
act, and the life that I've
led effect it, as well.
-
i like being treated like an adult! :)

i like being treated like an adult! :)
Any luck getting that?
-
yes, despite having roomates that are family!
-
My mom is weird about it.
I mean, she certainly treats me
as an adult, in some ways. Like
shit we can talk about.
But, yeah, that's tough to overcome.
I feel like my dad treats me less as
one, but is just less infuriating about it.
-
once i get away from my family i will be much happier, OMG.
-
It's funny though, with my close friends,
I never really felt like any of us treated one
another like adults. We just were what we
were. No big deal.
-
That's how I feel with close friends
I am just myself and they are just themselves
It was more about who they were than what they are. And their ages came under "what"
-
What I really hate is when adults use it as something to hide behind. "Oh, stop being such a child!" can mean "I can't handle you, so I'm going to patronize you in order to make myself feel competent again."
My family are classic for doing this.

Indeed.

Oh, gods no. / Yeah, I know.

As to friends, there's a level at which
things might just NOT work. So, younger
children usually don't have the maturity to
handle certain games, as an example, in a manner
which would be enjoyable to me.
Then again, I have a tendency to be silly,
which would probably turn a lot of more
mature people off (even if they were younger).
Really, the same issue.
All depends a lot on circumstances though.
Things that I'm interested in, I can pursue with
a great deal of seriousness. Others, I just can't
be bothered with.
On top of that, there's the desire to hide from
shit that I don't want to face - much of which is
just normal everyday stuff to most people.

:laugh: You need a scary extreme woman-child.
-
I could be serious and silly with my friend
We could talk about silly things for hours, and then talk about something really serious just as easily
-

Make a double, please.

Exactly. That do dicky do video is the kind
of shit I could get away with, around my
friends. Sure, sometimes they'd give me
a WTF, but sometimes, they'd be right there
with me, in that level of silliness.
But, still turn around and discuss things at
a level of depth that most people I've seen
just DON'T. Hell, not even things which were
necessarily addictions. All with a lot more willingness
to not be hidebound in our views.
Pretty much why I think most of them were close,
if not on, the spectrum.

Hm. Guess that rules me out - I'm not very good at silly.
Though if Callaway is to be believed, I could be a good mommy to your inner little boy.

It's contagious. Like crime.

That would be the knife-fighter, no?
-
No, that's the daddy. :P
(if you mean what I think you mean)
-
:laugh: You need a scary extreme woman-child.
Looking back at this, it's kinda funny.
Because yeah, I need something
along those lines, but probably
not what is ordinarily meant.
I DON'T want some little girl,
in a woman's body. I need a
mixture. The little girl part, which
needs the kind of love that I can
give. But, the woman, in terms of
being strong enough to face the world -
stronger than I am.
-
Nobody treats me like a child. To be honest, everyone IRL is afraid of me. Can't imagine why! :zoinks:
-
It's the chaw.
-
It's the chaw.
Might be! :laugh:
-
As a child I was desperate to be an adult and not be controlled by authority figures and get some responsibility. I wanted to be grown up and have my own family because mine sucked. I wanted to have some independence. Then suddenly I was an adult.
I don't think I remember being treated like a kid.
-
i was never treated as a kid, not by my parents, anyway. they were too shell-shocked at the weirdo who'd landed in their midst, and didn't know wtf to do with me. and that's more or less a direct quotation from my mum. (without the swearing :laugh: )
-
My parents thought they took the wrong baby home. :zoinks:
