3. They don’t know any better (they’re 45)
4. It’s all in your head - they’re like that with everyone - don’t take it so personally!
5. They’re trying. Can’t you try too?
6. They are making a joke (at your expense) Omg take a joke! Lol! (Meanwhile if you try to make a joke they flip out and are praised for their sensitive nature.)
7. They never do that! (Gaslighting)
