I think this is an interesting line of thought. I'm almost 50, reasonably accomplished in my career, financially successful, respected by my peers, but whenever I'm around my older sisters, I'm right back in that annoying, barely tolerated little brother reality. I don't much care for it, which is why I don't have much of a relationship with them, haven't for years. Anyway I've thought this for years, is there a name for it, or some other deeper meaning? Familiarity breeds contempt, maybe? |

People, for many reasons, automate other people in their minds. They define them, and aren’t willing to adapt their definition. They want the world to remain as they think it is, so they continue to treat it, and you, like it was.
Sounds like they’re clinging to a sense of superiority in an effort to delude themselves that you aren’t all that.
