Tense

I despise being talked down to.

This morning I went to ask someone a question. He suggested a way I should do things. I explained how I wanted to plan my time. He disagreed.

Not only did he disagree, he acted like I was a complete moron for not being at all concerned with the things he's concerned with.

Do I even bother explaining that he's completely misinterpreting what I'm saying? Or do I just let him think he's right and move on with my day?

I opted not to waste my energy, but it was already too late. I felt immensely tense afterwards, and it affected my ability to work productively. I really, really, really hate it when this person makes assumptions. I need to figure out a positive way to deal with this when it happens again the future. Because I know it will.
