Grimlyn 07/04/21 1:43:39 PM #206:	The thing with my dad is he grew up in an environment that clearly pressured him the importance of being smarter than everyone, and as a result he's ended up with an incredible intellectual insecurity with which he constantly needs prove how smart he is, that he knows better than anyone, and that everyone else is a moron. Knowing my aunt I totally get why, every conversation I have with her is like a job interview, and then on casual dining events she's known to bring up debate topics as table talk, going around the table for everyone to back up their views with proper arguments and repeat answers aren't good enough. My dad doesn't really take courses to learn, but to show off how much he knows and then he gets caught off-guard by how much he doesn't - and it absolutely paralyzes him. In his indigenous studies course oh lord me and gsis kept having to talk him down from arguing over his professor, an indigenous woman, that he believed he knew more about indigenous issues than because he worked a government job in Labrador a long time ago. Also oh my god in his papers me and gsis had to stop him from going on wild tangents about the struggles he went through in life because he also gets competitive about having a hard life. fun fact he also likes looking up random facts to quiz his doctor on when he goes for an appointment, no joke to show off how smart he is It's also really hard to watch TV with him because he always has to call people on the TV morons or idiots or something, whether it's expert opinions on the news, or fictional show character walking into a dangerous situation, or a quiz show contestant not knowing something or getting it wrong (whether my dad actually knows himself or not). I can't staaaand the endless barrage of negativity. quiz shows in particular omg, so often a contestant gives an answer, he calls them a idiot, but the contestant ends up being right and my dad goes "oh" /rant Honestly living with him has really made me appreciate the value of knowing what you don't know. --- http://gmun.moe/ffcc GuessMyUserName's account's very own account! <cite>Grimlyn posted [p:955737404] in Bloody Dil...
