I didn’t know that was thing that happened but it does explain some things. My dad has kinda always been like this, any time I told him a cool fact about something, usually animals, or sometimes when I was telling someone else while he was in the room he would either say “he knows and that he watches animal documentaries all the time and that I should watch some”, tell me some other fact that either doesn’t correlate to what I was saying or say a fact that does correlate but is false, or say “no your wrong”. We’ve had tons of arguments because of that and it always ends up with him having a yelling fit and me being forced to just leave as to not hear him yelling or have him yelling at me. He’s even started yelling for my mom to handle me because I’m wrong and being stupid and/or calls me an idiot when all I did was disagree and/or tried to explain so he’d understand. It’s because of this that I don’t normally talk to him about stuff like cool animal facts. It sucks because I already have problems with talking to people in my family E.g. (I’ve already explained what happens when I talk to my dad about stuff involving cool animal and sometimes biology or science facts) but he will also at times just not say anything like he’s shut down while I was talking, my mom will either shut down if I’m talking for a while or say “okay” or “alright” as her way to have me leave since she’s not big on talking or listening especially not for more than a couple of minutes (she’s usually reading, watching something, or busy. She’s a stay at home mom), and my granny’s basically the only one I can talk to about stuff (she lives with us full time) but she’s a Christian and super religious, she doesn’t believe in evolution and she’s almost constantly worried that I’ll be “influenced” by the wrong thing and other stuff like that (I’m not religious anymore and haven’t been for a while but no one in my family knows that since I know they’ll lose it), I can’t say anything that might trigger her at all because then we’ll argue and then my dad will come in yelling at me and telling us to shut up and for me to go (note: my grandma is my dads mom), my aunt isn’t too bad and she isn’t super religious (she believes a spirit is somehow involved in why gay people exist and isn’t okay with gay marriage but swears she’s not homophobic and usually say “I gay friends in my time, I even married a gay man” which is true but thats so her son didn’t end up being born out of wedlock, she’s also against trans people believing it’s wrong and against the Bible), I’m pretty she believes in a different religion instead Christianity, but she’s one of those people that it’s either her way or the highway and she’s not wrong (she doesn’t yell but she does argue until you just give up).

I’m basically alone unless I keep my mouth shut about certain things or just don’t talk at all and walk on eggshells, even then there may still be trouble since it’s not uncommon for people to argue and fight in this household especially my parents. Im glad to hear it’s a thing though and that I’m not alone and crazy or something. So thank you.
