some people make me feel real stupid. (only a few)
they’re all real smart.
but (perhaps I’m off)
but I don’t think it’s because they’re smart. I think it’s….
it’s because I have deemed them to be
pompous and arrogant. yep.
they sometimes “advise” me. but the manner in which they do it somehow hurts.
I have other friends who do the same thing in a manner that does not hurt.
perhaps this says more about me than about something else.
chemistry.
whatever.
some people trigger an old feeling of not being visible/mattering to my parents. no fault of the people triggering it.
I’m only human.
