Has being condescending usually improved your interaction with others in the past?
I just got back today so please knock it off man. I’m in a catch 22 with some whether you want to admit it or not.
I have learned to see it this way … while in the company of sharks, it’s better to give them something to munch on that you can afford to lose, so you may keep what’s important to you intact while you quietly swim the other way.
It’s not perfect but it helps me survive.
