Oh dear. I am not cut out to be a talking-to-people researcher. Got my first rude response & am struggling not to respond. Let it go, Helen.

This isn't Twitter. Arguing is not part of your job. Nor is telling people what you think of their manners. Diplomacy matters. Let. It. Go.

It's odd coz I worked for years with adults with challenging behaviour due to brain disease or damage & had reputation for being unflappable

However, give me an adult with a perfectly functioning brain & a desire to be a condescending or obnoxious twat & it's quite different.

Why is it I can cope with ppl calling me a 'fucking stupid bitch' & swinging chairs at me but not people being condescendingly rude?

I think its a different sort of challenge. With the first group, they're like this with everyone & my goal is to win some trust & reduce it

With the second, its intentional & personal coz they want to show they're better than me & my goal becomes testing this claim.

Because when ppl actually are better than me at whatever we're doing (and obv many are) they don't tend to feel the need to be arseholes.

Those who do feel a need to be condescending & rude are usually those who feel threatened & fear they might be inferior.

So maybe, I should also feel some sympathy for them. But I don't. Fuck off. Speak to me civilly like a decent human being.
