How often do people manage to barrel you down and make you feel wrong when your points and views are valid?

Sometimes. This usually happens with my family. They have a way of making me feel like a little child. Sometimes I can almost feel myself physically shrinking when I'm around them.

But with people outside my family, it's totally different. I don't think I really worry much about what anyone outside my family thinks, except for perhaps a very small, select few people.
