I find it very threatening when people try to convince me or debate with me. I dislike being trapped and backed into corners physically or mentally. Maybe I'm hearing the contempt my oldest brother always heaped on me for things I didn't know when I was little and he was far ahead in school. I think it made him feel smart to do that. Our parents were very critical and sarcastic too. Hard to continue the conversation when it makes me very anxious and wanting to get away.
