No, I'm 100% certain he wasn't patronizing me at all, I just felt like he was. In situations where I am feeling down on myself I often will feel like someone is patronizing me if they are just trying to keep me from being to down on myself. If I'm in a ****ty situation and am unhappy with how i'm doing, my personal preference is to not be all, 'oh i'm sure next time you can do better' etc. that is just the way I am. I'd rather you not say anything, but i am very sure he only meant well by it.

this is just my issues and i'm sorry to have posted here at all with them, this type of spew is more suited to my journal.

apologies.
