Hello people. I would like some help. In getting compassion for
"patronizing". People have often told me that I am "patronizing" them.
And there must be something to it, because I feel an unpleasant twinge
when I hear that. I have often been overly cautious and tried my best
to avoid sounding what I expected would be perceived as "patronizing",
but, as I was coming from wanting to avoid a particular reaction in
the other person, it didn't go over so well. Please help me see what
"patronizing" might mean from a less evaluative point of view. Thanks.
