I have no good tactics for coping with this behavior. You can’t retaliate the way you would with a troll or asshole since there is a certain lack of awareness/intentionality there. They’re blind to the “adult” vulnerabilities where they’re causing hurt.

I think it is more lack of in touch with day to day people live ... Rather be buried with books and non people experiences ... 50% genes 50% nurtures ... People who spent their waking hours spending on non people could not be expected to be sensitive to human sensitivity

I think this misses the point. The type of behavior in question is not some unique pathology of the bookish. There are plenty of blue collar individuals who are similarly blind to the way they slight others. And plenty of bookish who use some of their smarts as empathy.
