From a healthcare professional, I am not sure. I will say that I felt a bit like one past psychologist acted superior. Little things she said and did. My long-time psychiatrist also has a slight air of superiority, but not to a degree that makes me feel inferior. Pdoc has suggested that I lose weight in the past, but that seemed most focused on my health. Once when I lost a lot of weight, he even said to stop losing weight.

I have definitely experienced ageism and sexism in my life, but not from healthcare professionals. The ageism has been clear because I am almost 13 years younger than my husband. Sexism has seemingly come with that, on occasion. Even from women to me, a woman. [For example, my husband being asked what he does, but not asking me.] I have also witnessed clear cut stigma against mental illnesses. As for racism and sizeism, I never, personally, experienced that too much, but have sadly witnessed that from others towards others. Well, maybe my husband's family have made slight comments about my past size. "Soupe, how about I give you my size X jeans since they are too big for me now." They also say stuff to my husband, like "You look 9 months pregnant." [Hubby has a beer belly.] Sizeism is sometimes hard to read, though, especially even with comments like "Oh, now you look much thinner!" Is that a compliment or the opposite?

Has a mental healthcare provider ever seemed too fond of you, in an uncomfortable way (flirting, too motherly/fatherly, too friend-like)?
