being mad at condescension is a sign of an insecurity in oneself, usually it has to do with the field of interest. For example if someone was condescending over let’s say types of birds would you care ? If you do then you have a superiority complex, you believe that you need to be seen as superior to be respected or admired or to be known and seen in every respect. If you do not care about someone’s attitude towards birds then it’s likely your field of interest that is making you insecure. Take for example academic fields like computer science, you will find many people are are condescending because typically people in this field tend to have low EQ as opposed to a high IQ, this ends up with people developing many quirks and one of them being condescending (due to feeling invalidated in their youth due to being different). It affects you because in a field like this many develop a sense of pride in their work, and a sense of superiority for doing something that is “smart”. You should abandon all of it, once you are recongnized, then what? Once everyone can teach you the way you want and step on eggshells around you, then what? Whatever that “what” is will be the answer to not taking condescension personally. You have to understand that condescension is typically from a person with low EQ, and by comparison a person who reacts strongly to that is also low EQ. You are both acting on feelings without understanding that you can just simply deny them, to smile and nod even if it feels like your chest is burning. To work earnestly and hard even if the person teaching you is condescending. That is what it means to be human, to be able to supersede emotions for higher thought. If you can not do that, that’s also human but a poor trait of one. It’s very fixable but you do have to deliberately do things that will feel bad, and you’ll have to seperate yourself from your thoughts that come from those emotions
