It sounds like this person has a lot of anger and is very aggressive. I have found out how difficult it is to talk to people like this, especially about issues in the "feelings" category. Sometimes this reaction that people have is to cover up pain in their own life -- a super defensive reaction, like "I'm not going to feel it and so you shouldn't either!" My mom does this. Its hard to talk about "feelings" with her because she hasn't processed her own... you know? In truth, everyone has a right to their own feelings. They just are what they are.

Sorry you felt put down and invalidated. Try to let it roll off. The most important thing is to take care of yourself.
