It's OK Scott. You're only trying to help.
I think I have learned certain attitudes. My sister has them too. I'm not sure where we got them from.
For example: Often my Mom will call home to make sure we got home safely. My Mom will often ask, "Are you home now?" after one of us picks up. Sometimes my sister would say something like, "Um, of course I'm home, you're talking to me", implying that she asked a stupid question.
Of course it wasn't about the question itself, it was a sign of caring and concern.
I find my sister often puts me down, calling me a "dumb*ss" and the like. I sometimes say and do stupid things.
I think I do have some sort of inferiority complex around certain people. I know I'm insecure about my intelligence. I imagine most people are smarter than I am.
Maybe I get this from my Mom too. She often puts down my Dad by talking about how dumb he is.
I dunno. My thoughts are disorganized. I don't know if I have a point.
There are probably lots of hidden issues around this that I don't yet understand.
