Few things truly get under my skin. But having my intelligence insulted is at the top of the list. It has nothing to do with my degrees, certifications or street sense. It's purely the fact that some people seriously think that I'm an idiot. That the obvious isn't so obvious to me for some reason. This is something that completely blind sides me because I don't think I've ever let on that I'm a ditzy woman or ignorant to many things. I think that to someone that doesn't know me, I try to come across as educated (I mean, I am so why fake the funk?) On top of that, I actually am very open about things that I don't know...for example cars, football, and chemistry... Being that I'm not even somewhat interested in these things, I'll likely forever be unknowing about them... But that's not the point.
When someone begins to act a certain way which is out of character and very different than how they'd traditionally act, the survey says.... THERE'S SOMETHING NOT BEING COMMUNICATED... So don't tell me "nothing" and even worse, don't lie to me. Don't insult my intelligence. Don't tell me X is going on when in actuality it's ABC (and couldn't be more apparent). I'm not stupid. Very far from it. I'm not naive. And I'm not sensitive. Life has put me through so many obstacles, I've become numb to to the things that may hurt the average person. Just please don't insult my intelligence.
Then this makes me think a little harder... Perhaps you know I'm not stupid. And instead you're playing into my lack of stupidity to act as if you're the stupid one. Does that make it better? Meh...
