My brother asked for my help with something and then belittled my efforts. I told him that there was no room in the back of the truck for any more boxes - that at most we could fit 2 - so he could stop bringing them up. He goes "yeah I bet you didn't push them back there's tons of room" and I said, no, that we could fit only two more in. That he could go look himself. So he goes "ha, bet I am looking for nothing." He rearranges some boxes, we put more in. Guess how many fit in? TWO. Like I said. So he goes "yeah but we can put the rest in the back." So I start putting stuff in the backseat, it's packed, and I say no more. He says to put more in. At this point, I get pretty angry and say "fine, but I won't be responsible if anything of this stuff breaks." I carry it out (no one holds the door for me so I'm opening it with a heavy microwave in my arms) and he says "pfft, just like dad."
At that point I lose it and yell back "I'M DOING MY BEST." And he just starts going "yeah buddy, so glad you're leaving. So glad you're leaving. You can't handle your stress at all." I stuff the crap in the back, and guess what he does? Rearranges it and then goes "I can't see when I'm driving with this much in the back here."
Yeah, I got stressed! I hate when people ask for my help, and then belittle the help I give them. Especially when I am right! I'm the one putting the boxes in the back, I'm going to be able to see how many can fit better than someone who doesn't even step outside.
I hate people. I'm not an aggressive person, and I prefer to let others take the lead and make decisions because I'm easy-going. But when I speak up, they assume that because I am not the most dominant or aggressive person that I must be wrong. And belittle what I say.
