Earlier today, I was talking to my friend Mark, and he went on to say that he downloaded the entire Beatles' discography. I asked him if he downloaded the Love CD, because it's new and it's not really made by them. So, he felt the need to repeat the fact that he downloaded ALL their CDs, as if I hadn't understood it, and then added, "That's what a discography is, babe."
Because, apparently, I don't know what a discography is, and he felt the need to TELL me. So I thanked him for treating me like an idiot, and told him I absolutely LOVED when he did things like that, as I've told him many times.
Perhaps it may seem that I'm overreacting, but coming from someone who gets treated like this quite a bit, comments like these don't fall short of someone actually calling me stupid to my face. I've been talked to like a child, been told I know nothing because of my age, and have been treated like I was stupid by a past boyfriend because, at the time, I was in high school and he was in college, and apparently, my being in high school made me dumber than him, but let's leave out the little part where I actually got into a GOOD college, and he couldn't even make it into a fairly easy state college.
I could also be overreacting because I'm at a high emotional level right now, due to that upcoming friend of the month visited by every woman, except those who have outgrown their friend. So, naturally, when this little occurrance happened, I cried a little because apparently the anger trigger in my brain is connected to my tear ducts.
Anyway, I'm not quite sure why people assume that I'm unintelligent. I would blame it on my age, but Mark is YOUNGER than me, so that's ruled out. Whatever it is, I need to find out, and fast.
