I feel like i'm being patronized a lot. But then.... is it just me misreading the situation? Am I really being patronized? I'm not so sure.

I find that I get treated like I'm way younger than I am, even by people who are my age. That's when it bothers me the most. I also can't stand it when health care professionals act like I'm still a little child even though they know my actual age. I try to act mature and like my age, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Maybe you could see how they treat other people and compare it to how they treat you?
