Pettiness is always unreasonable and never needing words, say "this is not worth the effort."
Unless they are practice. Then... you could just break the fourth wall and speak your mind, and what are they going to do? Tell you not to be yourself? To try and control you? That's coercive control.

appreciate any helpful comments and no disrespect. A boundary to make for yourselves and others who talk down to you. Take control of the conversation by pacing yourself and break the fourth wall like when they talk a little too long. They are emotional beings who wont listen.
